My hair i used to have till bachelors...

my mom never cut my hair, 

she wanted me to have long hair 

how much ever it could grow

I never thought of cutting it

and it grew much longer and 

it was not curly but silky straight to some curls

my mom used to make french braid 

and i used to tie with ribbons for school

and it used to be twice shoulder length

my husband wanted to see those folded braids on me

I loved my hair, it didnt grew gray until my 40s 

i like again to have that long hair, but

it is not thick just little thin

but when i saw my motherinlaw's hair, it didnt grew gray

its shining black and i thought she used to keep

oil i was thinking but she said what are you saying

its my natural hair, are you jealous of me she said 

with mild anger as if i had hurt saying you did maintained the hair, 

then i felt sorry no amma i just thought i am sorry 

if you had hurted you.....

with love 

missing you athamma,
