Caps & Scarves

As I waited for my turn at the pharmacy at the National Cancer Centre today, I noted the many different caps and scarves won by the patients. I guess this being a place where many of us go for chemotherapy, hair loss is one major side effect. So, out come the wigs, caps and scarves.

I observed that many of the caps won by the guys had well known designer brands or some college emblem. They looked stylish enough. Scarves were in different shades and designs. I wondered if the colours and designs reflected the personalities of the wearers. Do pastel shades denote a calm, cool, unruffled personality? Are the stronger colours and distinct designs the choice of someone with a streak of unconventionality or a rebellious spirit? I wondered and tried hard to read their faces and actions. Not a clue!

Wigs were harder to spot.

I think we should go through life looking beyond falling hair and balding heads. It makes us happier to see the brighter side of things. Life will always have its share of this and that. The choice is ours to see what we want to see.

What do you see?

I saw the caps and scarves and that made me happier. Hmmmm... I wonder how many were guessing if mine was a wig!
