Babli and Lalita

In a small city of India,lives a man Vanraj,40years old with his family.He has two sisters Lalita and Babli and a wife Neha. In a school- “Dekh dekh aa gyi baal katri”,the girls said. “Ladkiyo ke school me do launde” the girls taunted again. “All the people on roads gathered to see the circus ” Both the girls cried and went to their class “I need some girls for dance performance who all will participate?” The teacher asked Lalita and Babli raised their hands. “No not you two keep down your hands.You two will again play the role of husband and brother in law in the skit.”the teacher said “Aee Lalit and Bablu sit.Boys cannot participate in girls dance” mocked their classmates. The girls say down they were used to this humiliation. They are seventeen years old but still their hair is not longer than 1inch. They went back home. Their fiancees were sitting on the sofa. “Come here” called Vanraj to both of them.They followed their brother’s command. He roamed his hand on their hair. “See…how short it is… they look like boys…now no boy teases them on the way or approaches them” “This short hairstyle should be maintained by you two everyday.If we find you talking to any other boy we will not wait more for marriage and you will drop your studies after that. Lalita cried and so her fiance stood up and slapped her. “Takla karaa du sabke samne abhi ke abhi” She said no. Babli’s fiance said “agle hafte ganja kar dunga tujhe jaise Bhai sa ne bhabhi sa ka kar diya hai ” “Everyone makes fun of us they call us a boy… Lalit and Bablu ” All the men laughed at it. “When you look like a boy what else they will call you” Their respective fiance rubbed their heads like a kid. “My kiddo Lalit” “My girly boy Bablu” They cried again. “Cry baby” Saying this they left. Vanraj slapped both of them. “Accept this reality rather than complaining and crying.Have you forgotten what happened yesterday?” They immediately swayed their head in no. Flashback- Lalita and Babli were combing each other’s hair and their sister in law was making hairstyle with her should length hair which has grown somehow after the last forced haircut. Vanraj came early from office I’m the afternoon and went in the room.His blood boiled.He grabbed his wife’s hair and said “You can’t make food on time but you have the time to look for this hair of yours….Aaj tum sab ke Baal kutarwa dunga” “And you two were roaming with boys on bike….your fiance saw you now no one can save you both ” He dragged his wife outside by her hair and commanded his sisters to sit in the jeep. He took them to the main roadside barber who cuts hair in open. *Vanraj sahab aaj aap yahaan” (You came today Vanraj sahab)said barber. “Haaan in teeno ke baal kutarwaane hain” The barber laughed at his statement. “Phir se ” “Neha go and sit” She protested so he grabbed her hair and pushed her on the stool kept on the ground. slapping her once more “Don’t create a scene” “Nai ganjaa kar de ise…sir par ek bhi baal nahi dikhna chahiye…saaf kar do sab” The barber laughed a little and caped Neha. Everyone passing by the road were witnessing the scene unfolding in front of their eyes. He picked up the can filled with water and poured on her head.He started massaging her head. Vanraj – I will do the rest of the work. Barber left her hair. Vanraj picked up the scissors.Nehavwas horrified but her fate was sealed.He flicked the scissors in air and kept the scissors above her ear and made the first snip.He picked up.the comb and kept combing her hair and cutting it.Locks by locks the hair were falling on the Then he picked up razor and smoothly shaved her nape area. He has given her a mushroom cut. The spectators were laughing seeing her haircut she looked dumb,naive and an antic piece.He didn’t stop here he then cut a bang giving her a barely 1inch bang. She kept crying seeing the mirror.He then pointed the barber. He took out his phone and clicked her picture. “My sisters should get this haircut today.Chop it even more shorter… reduce the volume of their by no 2 clippers….I am m going to use guard 0 on her.” And with this he placed the hair between her forehead and runned the clippers down her head.He started laughing “it looks like a road with bushes on it sides” He laughed at her again and started shaving her head.Pass after pass and she was covered by her own hair. After clippers he picked razor and shaved her smooth again. When he did her bald he uncaped her and picked her up and rubbed his hand on her scalp. “Meri takli biwi….” He laughed saying this Wait for part 2for Lalita and Babli’s haircut.
