If women can play with their hairstyles by keeping a pony tail on Monday, followed by a bun on tuesday and then a free flowing hair on wednesday, there is something only men can do. They can decide which part of their facial lawn they wish to mow down and which part they wish to harvest.
I am amazed to see that there are only a few worthy contenders of being a 'real mard' if you go by Bhawani Shankar (the inimitable Utpal Dutt) of 'Golmaal' who measured the mardangi of a male by the choice he made : To keep or not to keep, that is the question... Enter the French beard !: I decided one fine day to flaunt a french beard. Okay, the shaving cream went all the way along the cheeks and the chin was spared. With the diligence of a saloon barber, I maneuvered the razor and as the little bunch of hair lay there after the mission was over, I just glanced at myself in the mirror. "Wow! not bad.." - I told myself. But the first approval had to come from someone who was to bear the pricks in some ways ;) So, I gingerly went to wifey and asked : "So..how do I look?" Contrary to what I had expected, she gave an admiring look and said : "Good!".
I needed no further approval. I felt as if my visa for my foreign tour had been stamped. :)

Men can play along with their beards and hairstyles, we women cant sport even a teeny weeny upper lip down so I think you have more choices in this department:)
I knew it would look good on you....and you proved me right!! A goatee and a trim tummy....so wats next Amit?? Not body art I hope!!!

Well, the kiddo was once noticing me go through my shaving round...After I had finished, I just turned over and asked him - "So, how am I looking?" hoping he would comment on how he found my frenchie..
Guess wat he replied ..He said- "Hmmm..Papa, you forgot to shave around your chin"!
He always keeps telling me he hates facial hair and he wont sport it himself once he grows up :)
lol.. actually it does suit you.. and good that you got your visa stamped :D
but seriously I think its an effort to maintain moush and beards! I mean think of symmetry and how careful you need to be! lol

exMaaf Kijiye, but kuch jami nahin.

I was imagining you till I saw the pic myself and Gosh - its not that great.

You look better without anyday.
