How much freedom you enjoy in your country ! ~ including the hair-dos !!

IPL 2021 was greatly entertaining ~ besides the game, there were characters – Chris Gayle, Hardik Pandya, Shimron Hetmeyer, Andre Russel, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard – and some of them dazzled with their different hair-dos !! – here is Andre Russel conversing with Shimron Hetmeyer, perhaps on that !

In   movie ‘thirupachi’ – Vijay would stealthily move into a neighbour’s house and cut the long hair of a girl, to please his sister who would pale in comparison !

Human hair is a protein filament that grows from follicles found in the dermis. Hair is one of the defining characteristics of mammals. The human body, apart from areas of glabrous skin, is covered in follicles which produce thick terminal and fine vellus hair. Hair is an important biomaterial primarily composed of protein, notably alpha-keratin. In olden days, traditionally, women used to sport long hair; school girls would have double plait, a complex pattern formed by intertwining three or more strands hair and wearing dhavani ~ half-sarees !!~ not any longer..!!  

Though uttered sometimes with disrespect – ‘hair’ is valued.  In the upmarket central London salon Inanch, a full head of Great Lengths extensions costs around £900, and lasts up to six months.  In many parts of the World,  hair is more than just a symbol: it is big business. From India to Peru, the human hair trade has spread across the globe, and it has the UK in its grasp.

The mullet is a hairstyle in which the hair is shorter at the front, but long at the back. The modern mullet can refer to quite a few different mens’ hairstyles. While a mullet on its own is defined by long hair all over, especially at the back, a modern mullet is shorter on top and the sides. Modern applications of Mullet with faded sides or brushed up top will surely innovate the classic look so get ready for some new versions of mullet. ..

~ all these and more only when you are not residing in North Korea !!

Kim Jong-un reportedly ordered for North Korean man to be shot by firing squad for illegally selling films and music, while his family were forced to watch his execution. .. .. tragic !!!  The father, whose surname was Lee, was arrested in Wonsan, Gangwon province, before allegedly being executed 40 days later in front of a crowd of 500 people.  Lee, who was a chief engineer at the Wonsan Farming Management Commission, was accused by authorities of 'anti-socialist acts' for trading the South Korean videos, a source told Daily NK. The publication claimed that Lee was caught by the daughter of his 'people's unit' leader, or neighbourhood watch group, while secretly selling the films and music. Lee was executed just 40 days after he was arrested while his wife, son and daughter were forced to stand in the front row and watch his final moments.

North Korean authorities reportedly ruled: 'This was the first execution in Gangwon Province for anti-socialist acts under the anti-reactionary thought law.' Authorities said people used to be sent to labour or re-education camps, but added that 'reactionaries should not be allowed to live without fear in our society'. The 'anti-reactionary thought law', which brought in execution for anti-socialist behaviour last year, is believed to be supreme leader Kim Jong-un's crackdown to ban outside influences.  Lee reportedly confessed to selling the CDs and USBs, and authorities are said to be hunting down people who bought the content from him, believed to have been sold for between five and 12 dollars.   

It comes after a report claimed that Kim Jong-un executed a University minister after he 'complained' about work and didn't hold 'enough Zoom calls', according to The Sun. The North Korean dictator was said to have sentenced the leading chairman to death after a 'failure to 'implement the Distance Education Act'. Meanwhile, Kim Jong-un, 37, has also declared a war on cats and pigeons and has ordered authorities to 'eliminate' them as he believes the animals are spreading Covid-19. 

Earlier this week, it was also claimed that Kim Jong-un banned mullet hairstyles and skinny jeans over fears that 'decadent' Western culture will influence young North Koreans.  The country will be ripped down 'like a damp wall' if more is not done to stop the 'invasion of a capitalistic lifestyle', a state-run newspaper claimed. Those who repeatedly flout strict laws on fashion - including a ban on colourfully-dyed or spiked up hair and piercings - will be sent to labour camps under laws put in place by dictator Kim Jong-un in December. Those who don mullets also face these impossibly harsh consequences.  North Korean newspaper Rodong Sinmun - which is owned by the ruling Worker's Party - wrote on Thursday: 'History teaches us a crucial lesson that a country can become vulnerable and eventually collapse like a damp wall regardless of its economic and defence power if we do not hold on to our own lifestyle.' It went on to say: 'We must be wary of even the slightest sign of the capitalistic lifestyle and fight to get rid of them.'

North Koreans can choose from between 15 approved hairstyles under the country's laws, it has been claimed.
