Change / Surprise ?

The first post of this year .

Have you heard of somebody getting bored of their image and doing something drastic to it for a CHANGE ? If so , I too get added along the league .Got a hair cut , to my surprise shocked myself ..I didn't mean what I said to the parlorist , but what happened was exactly what I wanted ... A change .. on 31st of Dec -08 

So here I am with all the new hair do ..that my colleagues took few seconds ...(to minutes in exceptional cases of ppl  too lost in their world to try hitting their cerebellums and recall who I am .For them it is just another person whom they DON'T KNOW ?? )

To begin with the new year , I forgot the incident that happened the day before and was casually seated on my seat . 1st comes my PM .The routine is like this ,he stands there to switch on the light over his cabin and meanwhile if I am seated , will greet me .That day , he switches the light ON , but somebody unusual has occupied his teammate's seat .His inner drive urges him to greet me , but something else pauses him for a while and he keeps gazing . The next second there he is smiling showing his fastest  ability to recognize(U see 3 sec)  .He goes to his seat as if nothing is unusual :) .

Then comes our very known Suri , who walks as if he is a skeleton in a slow motion movie and is the least burdened person on this planet ..But before I proceed , I must enter another scene , call it Scene 2 .

Scene 2: Before Suri went on vacation , DBS was his neighbour , who happens to be our PL .The day Suri left early for his holidays , our very PL shifted to a luxury zone , u know an independent cubicle that only PMs have the liberty to enjoy . And I occupied his old place which is adjacent to that of Suri's .

Back to old scene of Suri entering on the new year day at 11.00 am ( u see why he is hardly tensed... ) Suri is standing behind me with all the hostility possible and is puzzeled .I am working and donot know what's happening at my back .Then something flashes and he sits next to my place and greets a hi and casually turns on his PC  and comments "Kya , naya hair style kya ." I turn back to him , and was equally releived to find him gone to Tirupathi and said "tumne bhiiii :) ?? "

Then comes our husmukhlal , DBS , who is quite loud in expressing himself . He is now standing right behind me in all smiles knowing exactly what the change is :) New year greetings are exchanged between us and now all the talk is in the air . Meanwile PM joins and we 4 of us are in a nostalgic discussion about our Christmas - New year holidays . Slowly , all air is cleared . DBS says the cut is good and asks for the reason . PM appreciated my haircut and complimented it too . Suri's turn .He says , he was quite puzzeled as to why DBS has this kind of a hairdo .His experience with the new Me burst everyone into a loud laughter . Now comes another team mate of ours , call her Mrs.B . She comes with all the music and dance in herself ( a la - lala la la la ala ala al  kind of U see  :) ) She has seen the 3 of us and assumed they are talking to another associate (which is me ) . She greets all of them and just has a glimpse of me . "Wooooooo  , Tara ", is her reaction . She says I look like a small , cute  kid !!! Hmmm , that was amazing of her to say so :) and  I am rejuvenated ! 

It is even more terrific to be with those who have already identified U  but have a completely bald cut (Suri here ) and u r waiting for a 3rd  person who is still new to this BIG surprise :) We are waiting for Sup at lunch and are already at a table .She comes looking for me , a person with more shoulder length long  hair  with Suri and group . She stands amidst the crowd and is very close to our table .She looks around ,and around . Woof , I call her on her cell and Bunty comes and rescues her :) So I ask her to follow Bunty (who knows abt this the previous day ) to reach me . 

She comes with the biggest smile and all her teeth shining for so long and her eyes not moving out of me ; showed she was mesmerised and  happy with this , and she was OK with it :) . What a relief it was that she okayed it :) 

Many such reactions to share too . 

The morning I say a hello to my fellow associate at breakfast . He ignores . I follow him to make sure I say a hello and accompany them .He joins another friend of mine who too ignores the person approaching him . I sit there  with new year greetings to them and they take a while before gulping my identity :) .We laugh out loud . They felt why a lady comes and needs no permission to sit with them . Hehe he , ppl who know each other don't need to do formalities U see :) 

I am passing by , and my another aquaintance sees me smiling , and she returns the smile deeply looking at me . For a second she blinks both her  eyes and then calls me out with an instant ( 2nd precisely) and compliments the hairdo .

Just another memorable and mesmerising reactions to share : 

Then comes the much awaited meet  after 23 days with a new hairdo and the effects still not gone esp with ppl whom I haven't met .Now let's call this guy BG . I say him a Hi , ( a quieter one ) which he does notice but is n't sure of the person whom he will return the Hi . Stands there stunned and jawdropped and smiling with absoloute clarity in his reaction that he knows me and doesn't know me either :)  I just pass by allowing his choke to turn ON his Tubelight  :)
