A Barber
Went to Ishanya Mall for some home-goods shopping today. Got there a bit early so I strolled around the streets near the entrance. There I found this barber. Barbershops like this are a common sight in Pune. This one is a spacious two-seater – in driving about the town I’ve seen shops half the width, where you figure the barber must be a yogi to both fit behind you and cut your hair properly.
Keeping a neat coiffure is important for Indian men. In a couple weeks I’ll be pretty shaggy myself. Next time it may be me in the chair.

You do get a great cut in India though. When I was last there it cost less that £1 and they really game me all the treatment.
The barbershop does appear to be reemerging in the UK also. When I’m home I go to a Turkish barbers where they wave a lighted wand around your ears to get rid of the hairs! Bloody scary sometime, but effective.
Great post.
