And Finally, a little Keralan Makeover...

Pakdokter have not had a hair-cut for at least the last 3 months. Pakdokter's hair was becoming a bit difficult to manage and the sweltering heat of Kerala did not help. So pakdokter decided to experience a Keralan haircut and went about looking for a barber.
It was not that easy to find one in Fort Kochi actually. Pakdokter had asked the Manager at the David Hall House while having coffee there after viewing the art collection on display and he directed to one that looked quite way out of town. So pakdokter walked back to the Malabar House nearby and asked for help from the reception and was directed to the same place. So pakdokter decided to walk to it despite the distance.....
And the hair-cut plus a shave of whatever little stubbles left on pakdokter's chin only cost 80 rupees ( less than RM5). That included the usual neck and shoulder massage minus the neck twist which pakdokter declined!.....

was a welcome gesture on arrival at the Spice Village
