Falling hair and dwindling confidence

It is said that one comes on the earth with no hair or little hair and goes with either no hair or bare hair, so, is it worth to be too much concerned about 'have', and 'having hair not' ?...Is hair richness connected  with one's confidence or just it's been over hyped by cosmetics companies? Or, is it to reveal ones 'genetic deficiency' in public or to reflect one's  negligence towards 'hair health' upkeep vis-a-vis consumption of water/food, and varied shampoos etc.?  

However, whatever be the case , truth is that the deepening baldness puts one at margin of societal confidence. I have seen people getting under depression, dejection, low self esteem and in turn assuming all handsomeness is being controlled by hair on head. People make all effort to hide the empty space by combing hair in multiple permutation and combination,even go for heavy trimming or head shave to decrease the possibility of hair fall.

Youngsters  having  sustained home grown hairs really feel confident.They call uncle to their poor brothers, reminding them every time their poverty.In this context, Karl Marx could have included this hair deficit section also in his 'proletariat calculation' but himself  being highly hair rich turned his eyes blind on it. Even Antonio Gramsci too couldn't understand the menace of 'Hair hegemony' which  in turn will dominantly manufacture the matrimonial opinion in favour of 'hair haves' section.

 Such systematic marginalisation even by Intellectuals further entrenches "inferiority complex"  especially among competitive exam aspirants whose increasing age- induced anxiety expedites the desertification of decimating barren head-land .However,Civil services aspirants start to take it positive calling it a reflection of wisdom as increasing albedo ( but decreasing libido) of shining head reveals so amidst bubbling and carefree youth. They see their images in secretaries, public intellectuals etc. at the very young age as their resembling and radiating mast head say so. Nevertheless, they are also subjected to untouchability in classroom when  beautiful girls take L-turn while sitting, but these girls too repent missing wisdom bounty of 'untimely turned uncle'.

Dr. Ambedkar ,too,couldn't not visualise this artificial social discrimination.Even Constituent Assembly Debate was also blinded by Gandhi's top floor's overpowering reflection but he was old, so how youth can take this aspect of him as role model.

In Bollywood, Film chroniclers comment some actors like Akshay khanna have suffered the appeal despite being talented as  Anupam kher did, despite  his stellar hero like role in the movie "Saransh". Later one chose to be in roles older than his age in most of his subsequent roles. Roadies TV show judge Raghu Brothers defiantly chose to be so and tried to break the taboos of baldness but I don't think they would have appealed because of their incorrigible 'Vitriolic abusive verbal diarrhoea' like personality.

 However, design and destiny are two different things here. Recently amended "PwD act" increased disability ground from 7 to 21 to widen the ambit for reservation but baldness couldn't get a berth, perhaps, mavericks like Shashi Tharoor(who undertook transgender case in the parliament) is insensitive on account of his flourishing hairs. Visibly, it doesn't affect the physical efficiency of an individual but victims of it have come up with many arguments to make their points.They say that decreased confidence on account of 'hair poverty'  diverts focus from study or work, so, need of affirmative action is felt.

In this context , Dr. Batra, "peddler of hair loss induced anxiety" is trying to feel the legislative gap especially among young turks who are impatient to get rid of this curse.I am yet to decipher how it broke my seclusion barrage and got mobile number while some of  my good friends were struggling to find my know how since last half a decade.Point is, how Dr. Batra  came to know my problem exactly? Here, recently ruled, Puttaswamy case, Right to privacy, really needs to be invoked. However, Dr. Batra couldn't allure  me despite all free of cost inducements. Perhaps, by then, I could understand the menace of " predatory probe" of Dr. Batra. 

Still , sometimes I see my rich(hair) friends advising me for hair therapy.  My female friends take pride in genetic speciality of female sex who seldom go for baldness which further exacerbates the pityness of male victim as female can't empathise on this aspect.
