Namoustache!

Today's topic is quiet mushy…very delicate and poky even uncomfortable for some, Moustaches…Familiar word? The facial hair just above the lips and below the nose when left to grow… end up as a Moustache! A rarity these days in many countries though wherever Indians, Pakistanis and sub-continent people reside…it can be found. It's usually black or even white for some aged people.

History

Well the history goes long long way back when man used to live in a cave and had no knowledge about shredding his facial hairs(as a matter of fact, anywhere on the body..:P). They naturally had to have long bushy faces. Then came the Shaving tools, the most important tool of make-up for men. He started removing them. Slowly they started looking nice as well as weird. Because women said that the men without facial hairs were not quiet the MEN. And from then on moustaches came to be known as the symbol of manhood. Everybody had them. In India as well, they have a rich history with the british rulers and the rich maharajas, all bore them with pride. There have been many greats who always had it like, Mahatma Gandhi, M. Luther King, Lech Walesa, Charlie Chaplin, Einstein etc.(Does anyone remember Super Mario?)

Why should the modern men turn back?

In the modern era though…men without moustaches have overtaken the population of the once with them. But I feel men should start keeping moustaches again. It brings so much more variety and even a greater dimension in their looks. I mean it used to be an important part of a man. It should be given one more chance. If taken seriously, It could turn into a revolution in men's fashion. There would be moustache caring products in the market and specially developed trimmers. The barbers would start earning more. They can learn a lot of new things and even invent a few. The world would become so much more differentiable. Black, brown, grey , blonde and so many other shades of moustaches we can develop!

Benefits

• They serve as a major confidence booster for lacking men.
  
• The mere presence of a moustache can provide an unfair advantage for a person in an interview.
  
• They aid the nose to fine tune the air entering inside.
  
• give much more variety of rich expressions to use from, they help in expression of an expression.
  
• They provide a thinking platform, just like the ladies play with their side locks while thinking, the men could practice pointing the two ends of the moustache while thinking and it does help.
  
• Last but not the least, It literally underlines the nose, taken to be the symbol of respect and honor in the Sub-continent(not sure about the rest of the world).
  

Conclusion

The first question that might pop out after reading this in your minds is,
"DO YOU HAVE IT?"

Well Yes, I was planning for it from a month or so and finally I have managed to grow a nice graceful moustache. Everybody who has seen it till now has complemented me and that's the reason I have decided to write about them today. So my fellow MEN!(not having one) GROW UP!
