Humour: Legislator honors 100 baldies

  

 

When leaders hold a meeting, they generally, honour local talent, children or an elderly person or any other social worker of the area, hitherto, in dark. Preference, of course! is given to their partymen or at least who sympathize with their party lines. 

 

In this series, an MLA did a wonderful job. He decided to honour not two or four but a hundred baldies of his constituency. He invited baldies of his area in a meeting and called one hundred of them on stage to honour them with garland and memento.  He gave a powerful speech in favour of baldies and motivated them. The MLA knows poor baldies are perennially worried about their receding hair line. Hearing this, there was a wave of jubilant joy among the baldies.

 

 

Generally, politicians of all hues and shades talk about distant things to villagers, they discuss issues which are not even remotely connected with locals ‘life. Therefore, this came as a big refreshing change when hon’ble MLA decided to honour local grassroot workers. The hon’ble MLA has won the hearts beginning baldies. This is a symbolic gesture. The world is divided into two Hair and Hair Nots. Today it is ‘Hair Nots’ tomorrow it would be ‘Haired ones’ There seldom is a Baldy who has happily reconciled with his baldness. There is always a suppressed desire of the lost crowning glory. I wish there were some oil, some coating, some serum that would make their crop flourish again.

 

Indian typical women are a worried lot. Her sufferings are threefold. One, unbridled husband, second, domestic help, last but not the least- falling hair. The MLA has touched the right chord. Poets have written treatise after treatise on long silky hair of beloveds. No more long silky hair of beloveds-no more poetry on beloved’s hair. Falling hair is a booming business.    Dr. and Dr. like persons are making hay while the Head shines.  This industry is flourishing. In other words, balding humans are a huge support for the economy. From this angle alone, Baldies are worthy of our respect. I hope this hon’ble MLA doesn’t own a chain of hair growing clinic.

 

What next? there are different neglected sections of society vying for the attention of the hon’ble MLA. Unemployed educated youth, Unemployed uneducated youth. Beggars and pickpockets. Delivery/courier boys armed with Enfield (bike) and Engineering (degree) The security (?) guards at your society gate who get noticed only when they make a mistake. We also respect this MLA for successfully avoiding the real issue faced by the electorates viz. unemployment, no industry in the area, no school, no college, no hospital but regular annual flood and famine. Poor MLA has to remain in news, has to be seen in his constituency yet win the next election. Netaji did not stop at just honouring baldies; he wants the State Govt.to recognise baldies as ‘intellectuals’ Well! one commodity found in abundance in our country is the ‘Intellectual’ class. Never before, I was so proud of my bald head, which has conferred the newfound honour on me- an intellectual.
