Haircuts
jagannath rao adukur | 11 June 2004, 6:04amTalking of haircuts the cheapest cuts in Hong Kong are upwards of 50 Honkies ,the swankier ones charging as much as 300 Honkies . In India the less upmarket saloons charge as little as Rs.30 .The shop in the corner of our street in Hyderabad charges just that much .The only thing is that the place is not airconditioned and does not have reasonable amount of furniture .The good thing is that it does not take much time to wait for your turn . What comes free in most of the hair cutting places is the endless chatter of the barber.The barber insists on knowing everything about you .He also gives you the latest news of the happenings in the city laced with racy comments.In Hong Kong I noticed that the Chinese barber was equally loquacious .Luckily when he sees an Indian customer he clams up because he cant speak English. There is something about these barbers ,all over the world, which binds them as a community .That is their chatter.
