'On baldies advertising hair oils' - by K.J.S.Chatrath


At 73+, I have many unfulfilled desires. One of the major ones has been not having a head full of grey hair. I have always found thick grey hair on the  head, both in gentlemen and in ladies, to be so graceful and classy.

I started loosing hair a few years back and now I am very close to becoming a full fledged  'ganju' (baldy). So the dream has no chance of fulfillment as I do not like putting on a wig.

And talking about wigs, I find one of the ads on the TV so very pathetic. It shows a star, who by all accounts is bald and wears a wig, vigorously advertising for the use of a particular hair oil! Sir, use a wig by all means, but then advertising for a hair oil looks so very unconvincing and bizarre!

Going back into history when I did have a head full of hair, one of the popular songs was Johny Walker enacted 'champi' (head massage)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJiohcg-gKo

Alas, alas!

I did not take the message seriously and neglected giving a vigorous 'champi'  regularly to my hair on the head.

  1. Fun read, sir. This reminds me, during my childhood days, after learning that actor Rakesh Roshan was all bald in real, every time I watched his films on TV, my eyes would remain fixated on his wig. I used to marvel at the fact that his 'hair' did not move out of place even during jerky dance moves. Hhaha.

  2. My apologies, I missed your comments. Yes....and what about the status of Hritik Roshan, considering that baldness runs in their family.....
