After the court directed
that “military personals must follow a uniform guideline, hence beards are
out.”But the Lodha committee has not instructed any such guidelines for Indian
cricket players. Probably keeping beards means aggressiveness and confuses the
opposition about the place of origin of an individual. Cricket players follow
many “tabiz”, beard and wearing reflective glasses are some of them.
1. People think bearded
men have higher social status2.Bearded men
seem more aggressive3.Beards advertise men’s health: 1982 paper in Science that bearded men are
advertising their healthy immune systems: Beards, like other body hair, are a
known breeding ground for parasites.
Recently, they’ve been shown to host bed bugs and sand fleas.4.Want
to Look Older and More Aggressive? Grow a Beard
The other day I was walking in the nearby university campus which has
four ATM machines. Even before
demonetization all these machines were either closed or did not have enough
money. I asked the security guard why they do not keep enough of currency. He
said ‘sir, all those boys and girl with draw two hundred or three hundred
rupees only, plus risky business.’
“But
why” I asked.
“Load
karnese to” (he meant that unless their parents load from other side they can’t
draw more. Most of them are from Jharkhand or Bihar)
I
observed that most of the boys are keeping beard like film star Ranbir Singh or
Indian cricket players. Just to please the Indian captain almost all the other
players are keeping beard. Poor Gautam Gambhir and Saha the wicket keeper did
not keep beard hence dropped from the side. They call it “beard” leadership.
Rahul
Gandhi started keeping beard when his adviser Choeimein asked him to do so.
Choe impressed Rahul with names of Abraham Lincoln,WGGrace,KarlMarx,
Tagore,MFHussain and many famous personality who kept beard.Rahul a less
educated person with low IQ could not make out that beards improves the image
or image improves the beard? You see, Modijee has beard! To counter act him you
must keep beard like him. But his mother at times got confused his son’s face
with Modijee; hence she called a barber from Asoka Hotel and shaved him clean.
Astrologers advised to Rahul baba was that he should be clean shaved like film
heroines to attract votes. He is confused hence he keeps beard at times and
removes it when his mother calls the barber.
Earlier
days if someone kept an unshaven face his friends and relatives knew that he
has lost some one near and dear relative. I had a friend at Rourkela who used
to clean shave his face and head after the 10th day of the function
of any influential person’s mother or wife’s death. Just to please the officer
so that mine friend’s files moved faster.
Then we
had Devdas era, beard and unshaven face means disappointment in love or under
depression. Some people stopped shaving due to too many pimples on face. Few IT
experts do not shave so that they can remain in bed for longer time. Few keep
beards for safety so that drug addicts would not get confused him with her.
Recently
I attended an interstate marriage reception where the barat had come from North
India, Kornal.Every one of them was looking like Indian Cricket Captain except
few ladies. The beard culture and the military cutting hair style is going to
stay for some time till some film star and cricket player change it to another
‘monkey style’ fashion design. Or our highest court directs all true Indians to
be clean shaved or pay fine of five thousand rupees through case less
transactions.“Every odd is style” some famous bearded person had said.
