    A short aside…

    People been busy almost 21 hours a day over the last few days. Please hold on a while… Placement and other activities taking up the entire day… so I just dont want to write up some half-baked crap and post it…

    So hold and peace.

    P.S. Had the freaky experience of my life today. Saw a guy in a dorm going to take a shower. He was carrying soap and a big bottle of shampoo. Thing was… he was perfectly bald…

    You are not sure that the bottle had shampoo inside, arent you?
    Come on, give the poor bald man some benefit of doubt!

    and in any case, a BIG shampoo bottle has been know to have many other utilities particularly when a lubricant sucha s soap is around ;)

    i think the poor guy is mourning his hair. must have had his hair shaved off in a spur of the moment thing. some religious fervour in thirupathi or probably some love failure . must be harbouring a feeling of loss. so a subconscious way of compensating for the loss.
    sid , treat him with a little kindness.

    H’mm this blog got me thinking where did the word ‘Shampoo’ originate from? Well idle mind is Internet Service providers dream. So googled in to find out. Thanks to all those idle minds outthere, I got my answer. So to quote google:

    “Oddly enough, the origin of “shampoo” has nothing directly to do with hair (and does not, puns aside, involve our modern word “sham,” meaning “phony”). “Shampoo” comes from the Hindi word “campo,” meaning “to press,” and a “shampoo,” which entered English around 1762, was originally a full-body massage. In fact, until the mid-19th century, asking for a “shampoo” would get you pummeled by a masseur (or masseuse) and slathered with oils and lotions. Only lastly (if you lasted that long) would your hair be washed. By about 1860, however, “shampoo” had attained its exclusive modern meaning of “washing the hair.” Shortly thereafter, “shampoo” began to be used as a noun meaning either an act of shampooing or the special soap used on the hair.”

    If this doesn’t explain what that baldy was doing with a bottle of Shampoo then nothing will..

    methinks someone logged into your Sense kernel when you were asleep n’ patched how the incoming arguments of your Sight() member are handled thus:
    Madonnas_Album -= Spectrum_emanating_from_keratin;
    so that the overall result is that.. Sidin cannot see hair!!! Howzzat! ;) OK, I admit I’m a jobless software engineer :(

    now that we’ve seen why-baldy-wants-shampoo from every angle. how abt what-happened-to-sidin.
    my take is that he got kidnapped by a few smitten fans (prefarably female but lets take into account the gay factor too).
