No-Shave November !!

The internet is full of #noshave this month. No prizes on guessing as it is the “No-Shave” November  month. When I saw the social media being flooded by the pics of unshaved guys, I thought it is just a part of cultural activities. But then I thought to look up in internet about this event. I was surprised to  found out that it is a cancer awareness campaign. It is aimed at creating awareness mainly  about the prostate cancer and other cancers affecting male.

So why grow hair? Apparently the reason behind this is to cherish our hair, which the cancer patient usually looses.

Thus you can find all the social media buzzed with guys and their unkempt facial hair. Women too participate by let going of shaving of the bodily hair. So it is all cool right? Maybe I should also snap a pic of my beard( which I anyways rarely shave) and upload it in FB, instagram etc… right?

No…..

I am actually very pissed off.  Many of you may think that i am dumb or stupid because I didn't knew about the reason for conducting this event.... but how would I had come to know?   Every pic I saw on social media mentioned  about “no-shave November”, but a word or two about cancer awareness was  not visible. This term was being coined by the many cancer charities/societies which also includes American cancer Society. If you are interested in doing some charitable work, please search on the net with the keywords “No shave November” and you will come across many sites which will help you out in doing it.

But please…. If next time someone ask you “ why is your beard unruly/why haven’t you shaved?”, please don’t reply that because it is “movember”(moustache+November) or “no-shave November”…. Simply tell the truth….

That you are lazy or that you love your beard….. just like me J
