After few days of moving to my new
apartment, I needed a haircut, as I like to keep my hair very short (so I don't
see how much hair I m loosing) and I discovered that there is a hair salon in
the ground floor of my building so I walked in and asked if I need an
appointment or I can have a hair cut on the spot.. It was my first time in a
salon for both females and males and the staff is mix too, so didn't know if I
girl will end up cutting my hair, which is a first for me.. But then a guy with
super long hair asked me to take a seat and wrapped the towel around my neck
and started trimming my hair after asking me how short I like them to be..
And like anywhere around the globe it's
so easy to start a conversation with a barber.. Reza is originally Iranian,
been in Canada for 15 years, and seems the last time he went back to Tehran, he
flew Emirates airlines but didn't have a long stop over to go outside the
airport and he kind of regretted later that he didn't do a longer transit and
get to see Dubai, so he asked me all kind of questions about the city, about
the Iranians in Dubai, about the 3 islands that are the subject of political
issues between Iran and the UAE, and we kept talking until we reached in our
discussion "Googoosh" who is a great Iranian singer who stopped
singing for many many years and only recently started singing again.. Googoosh
has an amazing voice and her songs are so beautiful ( even though my Iranians
friends there assured me that the translation of the songs that I m getting
online don't give justice the lyrics of the songs..
Reza took his time trimming my hair and
making sure to give me a nice haircut.. And the best part he was kind enough to
give me a good discount.. So here we go, I found my new barber in Toronto..
And for you my dear friends here is a
link to one of Googoosh great songs Mano Gonjishka (Me and the Sparrows )
