Dear Turban,

I was of age 14 when I was for the first time introduced to you.
I didn’t like you too much that time, You were more of a compulsion than a choice for me.

I thought I looked weird or may be funny with you.
I made many excuses not to be with you initially.

This continued for few years. As time passed, I got more comfortable with you.
By college days, I think I started liking you. I bought more colors and new combinations and then even more colors.

Now I felt higher in spirits and in height , with you. You became a part of my every occasion. Different style in class, different with Bhangra, different with Gatka, different when I was tired in evening and wanted to relax, but you were always there.

Then I came abroad, where people looked at me differently, saw me from a distance and now recognized me from a distance.I could be identified among a million in a second. My presence or absence was felt.

People ask me about you, how many colors do I have, how long, why, what’s the significance etc and I feel so happy telling them.
