Hi friends after class 10 my family decided to send me to a boarding school for further studies. Me my mom dad and sister we all went to Bangalore for admission . I got admission as I had achieved 99 percent in 10 Board . My parents liked the school fee structure environment food weather and all . They met with the principal she was also very excited for my admission bcoz of my marks . All school need good students . Then my mom told principal that there is 1 problem mam that Gurpreet can’t take care of his hair by himself . He needs my help for making judda and washing hair on Sundays . Principal mam didn’t wanted to loose me so she told mom that wardon will take care of both these things . U don’t worry about that . But mom was not satisfied so she said mam to call wardon . The wardon came and they discuss all things and she said yes it’s not an issues I can easily help Gurpreet . It’s jus the matter of braiding and washing hair . Mam was looking like a very strict wardon . Now everything was final and my parents left me in the school after one week . I got to share room with a class 12 student . I enetered my room kept my belongings and jus sat on the bed . On next day morning Iwent to mam and ask her to make my judda . She pulled my Patka and then started opening my judda . My mom always made braided bun . Mam was shocked to see my braid length . She started opening it from below now my hair were completely open . She was shocked surprised and in tension also . Now she took comb and started talking to me I have never seen such a long beautiful hair even of gals. No one even in my family or friends have such a beautiful long hair . Meanwhile she was combing my hair and now started to braid but she was not able to do . Then she said Gurpreet I thought making judda might be easy but it’s not . I can braid ur hair in girls style but can’t make judda . I was angry I went to principal mam with holding my hair on my hand . She called me inside and shouted what is this why r u roaming like this . I told her the complete episode then she called wardon in her cabin . Wardon mam said mam his hair is too thick long and I was thinking that I can easily do his judda but it’s very tough I said him i can braid his hair in a choti but he ran away . Now the principal said me Gurpreet what’s the issue in this . I know it’s not allowed to cut your hair in ur caste but u can keep it in a braid . I will talk to ur mom and explain her the issue . I was knowing that we have paid the full year fees in advance so I can’t do anything . I was silent wardon took me to hostel . She said me to sit down and pulled my hair . And then started making braid . She braided my hair in 15 minutes . And asked me to go to school . I entered the class room I was the only new student in the class . All boys and girls were confused seeing me in shirt pant and having such a long braid . I sat on the boys side but they said me go and sit there . Then mam came and introduced me to the whole class . But mam was also shocked bcoz she was knowing that a new boy has got admission .i told everyone that I m a Sikh boy and in our religion we don’t cut hair . I sat with a girl she was so shocked seeing my hair the whole day she talked about my hair . When I entered my room my roommate laughed on seeing me what is this . And he pulled my braid I shouted with pain . And ask hun to leave Else I will complain to wardon . I went to wardon and told her mam that boy is pulling my braid . I was not knowing that she was angry from me she pulled my braid again and said long braid are to get pulled ok . I came n the room and slept crying . Next day was Sunday I went to mam and ask her to wash my hair . She said me to come after 1 hour . I went to mam again and asked her again . She hold my braid and pulled me to the bathroom in anger . She said u don’t know anything. She opened my braid then she shampooed my hair . When she came out of bathroom she saw it took her 30 minutes to wash my hair . I went to my room and then I sat there . My room mate came and saw me in open hair . He laughed and said ur a real girl . I didn’t replied ,after that when we went to mess for lunch . Till that time my hair were 35 percent dry now it was jus blowing in air . I went to the mess took my plate and all boys were teasing me . It’s boys mess how u came inside you girl . Sone boys pulled my hair . I was not at all happy . It took6 hours to dry my hair comoletely . Then I went to wardon at 8 pm I asked her to remove tangles and make braid of my hair . She said Arrey Tu Phir aa Gaya . Then she said sleep like this only I will braid ur hair tomorrow. I said mom it’s very tough to sleep with open hair but she said I will do tomorrow only . Then I slept and in the Morning when I went to mam she said gals always go with open dry shampooed hair on Mondays . So u will also go like that only . I don’t want to go but mam forced me to go like that . She combed my hair and gave her pink hairband. I went to class all gals started touching my hair smelling it and feeling the softness of my hair . Yaar ur so girlish and ur hair are jus awesome . All we’re playing with my hair and the all gave me my old name Gurpreet Kaur .
