A Shave Can Save Your Day.

Life may present you with opportunities but you never know whether or not you are ready for it. Someday you may be stubborn and a lazy lad and maybe the fate had decided to knock your door on the very same day. And then you realize and regret if I would have done a few things differently the results would have been far better.

Sorry I am not here to give a lecture on life or opportunities. All I mean to say is that we should always be ready for any and all opportunity that maybe coming our way. Such an opportunity knocked at my door too but that day I wasn't at my best and I missed it. Although it was my fate that gave a second chance later on and I am still thank full to the Almighty for that.

1st of April is a special day for me, it wasn't that important before but yes on this date in 2008 I crashed a party uninvited. And ever since it became important forever. Well I will stop talking in riddled and come straight to the topic. 1st April is my wife's birthday and back in 2008 I went to her birthday party unshaven and not well groomed. I met my princess there at her party. I was so happy to be there but I had a big beard grow all over my face and she paid no attention to me. 


I took an oath that day that what so ever I will not be unshaven for a long time and will always be presentable and clean shaved where ever I am going. I did meet my princess the next morning well shaved and groomed and she was surprised to know that I was present in her birthday party last night. I knew that was quite obvious statement from her. And it wasn't her fault either. Even today she can’t resist rubbing my cheeks when I shave them and it is one among the reason why I shave.

We should be always be prepared and should be well groomed because we never know when and where we may get lucky. Fate has a habit to strike you when you are inattentive and loves to catch you off guard. Why should we give the fate an opportunity to knock us now when we can perfectly nail it down? So where ever you are going be it a party, office or an interview always reach well groomed and clean shaved. Opportunity knocks the door once and we can’t afford to lose them just because of a shave.

Shave Will you ???

Isn't it obvious that we all want to look perfect for our special occasions? We really do. With the world getting modernised every day the bars for grooming and being presentable keeps rising. Whether it's a date or an important career interview we need to be in perfect shape and size or in more simpler words we need to be perfectly groomed. And if we are talking about grooming we just can't skip on the part of being shaved. Shaving is an essential part of our daily grooming. Our professional as well as personal life demands us to be perfectly shaved. 

As for me I never cared to look good. Shaving was the thing i was least interested in. I had my own excuses and reasons not to shave. Actually I always looked for an  excuse so that I didn't had to shave. But someone somewhere was watching this and had  his plans for me all ready to teach me a lesson. 

So here is what actually happened. I was almost done with my graduation and just had to submit few of my assignment for my final semester. And we were to sit for our job interviews within a week. So on the day of submission of my final assignment of business development I reached my college in time but unshaven. And that Was the biggest mistake or one among the biggest mistakes that i have committed yet. I was always a punctual guy when it came to assignments. Well I never was the first guy to submit my assignment but yes I always submitted under ten. Anyway keeping these stories aside let me come to the main point. So I was there at my college not groomed or shaved. And I got a news that Leela was in the college and they were here for a campus interview. What the fish. I was not groomed not shaved and was counting on this property was waiting for its arrival since a long time. But the harm was done. There was no way that I could have gone back or could have gone out for a shave. And at the end of the day I was not able to sit for that interview and my dreams were shattered. 

That day I learned a lesson that wherever you go shaving is a must and believe me your looks and presentation really does matter. The more presentable you are better luck you have.

Take the "Will You Shave" challenge, Will you???

Have you ever in your life been thrown out of a class or an interview or an office for not being groomed at your best? Well I have been. In today’s world perfectly groomed candidates are required; it doesn't really matters which industry they belong to. Grooming includes of many factors but the key ingredient to a perfectly groomed person is being well shaved. I may sound funny or ridiculous but it’s the truth. A small thing like shaving can make your day or can make it look a lot worse then you could have ever imagined. And I am telling this because I have personally witnessed this in my life and I have taken a great lesson from that too.

This is what happened. I left preparing for my medical entrance examinations as soon as I passed out my twelfth standard and the reason behind not going for medicals was that I didn't want to spend half of life studying. That is an entire different story so let’s concentrate to this story. And I was in search of a new career option. One of my relative suggested me to go for hospitality management and God knows I took that suggestion too seriously. Thus I decided to go for an Interview for the Hospitality management course and ended up on the gate of International Institute of Hotel Management, Kolkata.

Being from science background I had no idea what I was going to face and how I was going to do it. So I left everything in the hand of Guru Mahadev. After qualifying for the group discussion and written test round anyhow there I was in the last round the Personal Interview round. This round was supposed to be conducted by Director of the college itself. Frankly speaking I wasn't scared or nervous at all. And the reason behind not being nervous was that it was my first interview and I was clueless what was happening inside that cabin. I was dressed up in a cargo and a tee with my sports shoes on and I had not shaved and had huge curls on my chick.

After a long wait of half an hour finally it was my turn to face the PI. I knocked the door and asked that should I come in? And a lady replied yes please come in. I got into the cabin finally and that was the instance I started feeling nervous.The very first question asked to me was that whether I was there for an interview? The question puzzled me and I was in a state of dilemma that wasn't she sure that I was going to be interviewed by her. I replied  yes mam. She told me that I wasn't groomed at all. Well that I wasn't for sure. I sensed the situation was getting worse so said a silent prayer and started to think of something to handle the situation. So I instantly apologized for not being in perfect attire and for not shaving. She told me that she was going to qualify me for the round just because of my etiquettes and good manner. Well the day was saved finally and I realized that shaving could have saved my day a lot easier. Later the director called me and said, "son it doesn't matter where ever you go never leave your house without shaving". And I took her words seriously. It has been around 5 years in the hospitality industry and there has not been a day that I haven't shave except for my off days. And for guys who have sensitive skin please go for Gillette Razor, its very skin friendly and leaves your skin soft and moisturised. Shave and be Groomed always.
