the indian barbers


The Indian barbers of yesterday
They traveled by bicycles going to villages
Offering personalized services to the children
Saving time for the parents too

Those were the years
The Indian barbers came
The parents would wait
The children kept waiting

The bell ringing on the bicyle
The Indian barber arrived
The warm greeting the children sat still
On the rattan chair under the shady trees

Modernity came
The Indian barbers on bicycles disappeared
Now it is the expensive hair stylists charges
In the modern hair studios
