Confessions of the Bearded Species!! Part 1

hello all.. here i am back again ranting about something or the other :-) hope u all enjoy this one.. its been a while since i posted anything.. as usual was in deep thought as to what to write about.. a string of recent, yet periodic occurences have inspired this bearded one to rant about his kind..

The beard.. style statement, religious symbol, sign of manliness et al.. many things to many people.. but i'm not here to talk about the type of beards.. oh there a bounitful to choose from, n also a few more innovations to come i guess from the fashionista. (god knows what sort of monstrosity will they come out with !!) I shalt thus dwell upon my beard.. n the different phases it goes through.. lol!!

As of now my beard elicits a lot of stunned responses.. Why its the EXAM beard.. this particular style of mine is an insult to the word style conscious but a style nonetheless.. now i'm not a very religious person on normal days, nor a true believer of my faith.. matter of fact no particular faith.. but somehow during exam time all the plethora of religions out there start to make sense.. u can c where and what i'm getting at.. now my religion Sikhism demands that a true Sikh to keep all their body hair uncut.. n i'm still not sure if this applies to women.. guess it doesn't (punjabi girls generally are the prettiest lot out there!! and theres no way your gonna fall for a hairy woman.. unless you have some sort of fetish.. ughh!! get a life!!).. back to topic.. so when my semester closes for exams i jus let it all hang out!! now now dont get any funny ideas.. usually i like to keep my beard trimmed n neat.. it's convenient for me.. but its only at this particular time tat i don't really bother abt it n let it grow, a true akali would probably say FLOURISH!!

I have many names to this all out beard.. i just think exam beard sounds too nerdy and gives off the impression that i'm hard at work, studying, when all i'm doing at this time is finding new ways of getting distracted! Some of the nicknames are BABA BEARD (no i'm not talking about rajini.. i dont like him.. n plus thalai has gotta way cooler beard than mine).. i'm talking about the sadhus whose beards flourish all the way to the glory of god's wishes.. That brings me to my next nick the SADHU BEARD.. another personal favourite of my mine the TAPASYA(retired form life and gone to offer your prayers in the mountains to the lord.. the lord probably will like you a lot cause he's got company in the chin hair department) BEARD, HIMALYAN BEARD.. bascially they are all inter-related.. HIMALYAN BEARD is nice.. sounds cool.. makes u look like some kinda of adventurer who has roughed it out there in the hilly slopes n got LEH'D.. also it gives off vibes that you've been away from civilization too long and that you're somehow the missing link in the chain of evolution!! "been hunting around for your cousin the YETI now, have u beardie?? "


Real close friends of mine like to call it the DEVDAS beard.. What fucking shit?? They are my close friends only and i let them have their fun and spare their lives.. I'm sure there's a whole lot out there who despise me and would love to call it that and probably don't have the guts to tell it to me on my face.. SOD OFF U BUGGERS!!

And thus I shall end part 1 here.. and based on feedback will write part 2 soon!! '

P.S: to all those who were offended by this article.. take it in a lighter vein.. no offence intended to any religion here!! in particular to all the sikhs who read this.. i know we all have a good sense of humor.. so please donot blow this out of proportion and create a ruckus.. Got enough problems in Punjab already for a lame reason..
