For 22 years my wife, and for the last 10 years my daughter, have resisted the idea of my shaving off my moustache. I did do that a few months ago and re grew it.
I shaved it temporarily (in 2008) because my grey hair and black hair were asymmterical. The gap has made my entire moustache grey. A lot of Indians believe it is effeminate not to have a moustache. Men must have facial hair. This is probably a cultural thing as per the psychological works I have read. indian men often display behavior that is effeminate by Western standards. With little hair on my head and my current practice of wearing what hair I have very short. my face without a moustache looks like an egg. It looks like an egg with a grey moustahe now, but since eggs with moustaches are an uncommon sight (at least in India), the association is less easily made. shiv On Wednesday 31 Dec 2008 9:32:11 pm Keith Adam wrote: > Hi, > > On a frivolous tone... > > http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/7806039.stm > > How many of our august patrons are facing a moustache identity crisis?
