Haircuts

I don't get it. I keep getting them. I keep wanting them. I want to grow my hair. But I like my hair looking different. And 80% of the time I hate my haircut. It's too short. I look like a mushroom. It isn't what I wanted. But I STILL KEEP WANTING A HAIRCUT.

I don't get it.

Sounds

Taking a walk in my building. Interesting how sounds work. One side of the building faces another building that is having some celebration - playing loud music on a sound system. And the other side of our building faces towards some open space, not yet noisy as the construction of a far away building still going on and roads still not open. And you can actually hear a little myna chabbering away on a tree. On one side I cannot hear the bird, on the other I cannot hear the music.

Surnames

So what would happen if I had a hyphenated name? A friend was saying that I would be in the big-leagues of investment banking if I had used a hyphenated name for myself. My reaction? I don't want to be a courier service. Seriously think about it - Shefali Panchal-Sherrin - SPS :). I don't think so.

Then we talked about what my name would have been if I had taken my in-laws house name and hyphenated it. Apparently I could have 'phad diya' the investment banking world with a name like Shefali Panchal-Thekkekara.

What say?
