On Sunday, I re-styled my hair. My mum had partitioned it into four big sections, can you see them? She further divided each of the big sections into about 5 smaller portions. I usually do not like having my hair re-styled and I needed to know how long it would take her to complete it. She told me she took about 10 minutes on one small portion. That means, 50 minutes for a section, ‘Oh no! I was going to be seated for about 200 minutes’. My estimate was almost exact as I had a pretty hairdo after 3 hours and 30 minutes which included some snack time.
