I am a regular visitor at Delhi India International Trade Fair held between 14 to 27 November every year in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. I visit there to see different cultures and traditions of India under one roof, to experience different foods and also for the products which are unique and you usually struggles to find them in local markets. Once in 2008 when I went there and was visiting different pavilions I saw a long queue of boys in one of the stall of a hall. I asked one of the boy standing in queue about the reason behind this line. He said that some company was distributing some products for boys for free as part of their promotion.
I felt excited and also stand behind in that line. What that boy failed to mention was the products were given to those who were clean shaved because they were applying some cream on their faces and clicking pictures of difference in skin quality before and after using that cream and then giving some free samples along with some gifts to those boys who were clicked. You can easily understand a stubble face is not meant for promoting face products for boys. When my turn came the girl applying cream laughed and asked where to apply cream. At first I didn't understand what she meant but when others standing there also laughed and said "Dadiyal (with beard) move aside". I realized what happened. I felt ashamed and came out quickly from that stall and from that pavilion also. I missed out opportunity of getting free products because of non-shaven face.
#WillYouShave. Yes I will shave because I have so much embarrassing instances for not doing it regularly. My nature of not taking care of my looks is very bad and I must change it. With stubble face you not only miss opportunities like that but your confidence in presenting yourself also becomes less.
