Another birthday went by – a year older and inching closer to the dreaded 30s! You know, when you’re young, you cannot see yourself beyond 25 – it seems so old and now I’m already past that milestone. No, it isn’t scary at all. The years ahead are lit in a brilliant hue of rose-gold and they’re going to be glorious. I have had to contend with the appearance of many silver strands in my hair. It is not unusual at all since I draw heavily from my Dad’s genes (at least as far as physical appearances go!) and he greyed quite early. The funny part of the equation is, Pinch has a jet-black head of hair with no trace of grey at all. Hmm, I am not too enthusiastic about colouring my hair – so we’ll see how that goes. I guess we’ll make a funny couple… 🙂

Can’t remember a single birthday specifically… maybe the best one isn’t here as yet!

Yeah, the dude refuses to have anything remotely cosmetic done to his body… would like to know how the bottle blonde phenomenon will come about… 🙂

O! I love the grey strands – I think some people look very graceful with grey. Coupled with the 30, I imagine a classy picture of experience.

Hopefully, I’ll be among those people that look grqceful with grey. I think my Dad looked tons better with grey hair than black… 🙂

Belated birthday wishes. Its funny but someone else commented recently that they were afraid of turning 25 (he’s now 37!). Now it does not bother him. For me it was 30 and being over the hill – lol. Silly minds we all got.
Hope you had fun on your birthday.
And about the coloring – we’ll if you don’t want people to ask you if your mom was your grandmother, I’d color my hair – lol.

Lakshmi says:
Huh, a bit confused about the mom-grandmom funda but nevertheless, it’s all those chemicals in the hair color that makes me not want to go down that road.

30 IS old…..unless u r 30, then 40 is old….
Well, with the grey hair black hair issue, at least you’ll have the satisfaction of walking into a club with pinch, and having all the women wonder….”What does she have that she’s bagged such a young man?!”
That soothe your worries?
