Sindhu calls to say "Im going to cut my hair"
I say "NO, wait till after the wedding".
She says " L'Oreal Salon has a special student's discount now" .
I say " How much?"
It turns out that after discounts, it costs as much as parlours with less haloed names.
She delivers the clincher ' I want to pierce my nose".
I say 'Okay, okay, cut your hair".

DAchu says later I should have rather let her pierce her nose. But, that is irreversible while hair colouring and styling isn't.

Mothers who chop of their own hair have no moral leg to stand on. But i had to wait till my mother and mother-in-law passed on to do it.
