“You can find wisdom in grey hair”, “A little grey hair is a small price to pay for this much wisdom”. These are the complements showered on men with grey hair. When I was in my mid-sixties, I had a rather healthy occupancy of around eighty percent of hair, half of which had turned grey. I was happy that I had sneaked into the world of wise men. This also offered me the luxury of dual looks, appearing to look young with the hair dyed on some days and wise on the other days with grey hair. I was also eagerly looking forward to going totally grey, which in my opinion made men look intellectual and I can also be mistaken for one. However fate had other ideas. Tragedy struck in the form of a skin problem, hitherto unknown to me, called “Alopecia”. This left me totally bald, but for a few strands of hair here and there.
