SELF-AWARENESS is a virtue that should never, ever be taken too far. It can trip over into insanity.

It could corrode the ego required for getting up in the morning, let alone for performing any of the great dances of life. Still, occasional rumination, by way of reality-check, may help. It avoids the more outrageous episodes of self-delusion.

Strange to say, most bald men, like me, don’t realise they have so little thatch on top. Like a pimple in a place that isn’t seen, it’s part of your eco system, life’s wallpaper. Baldness, a glaring lack, goes unnoticed by the inhabitant under the glossy dome. But it is rudely obvious for anyone else to see.
