Medical checkup

Today I had my pre-joining medical checkup. Coz of some legal issue, I am being rehired into the company and I have to go through the medical checkup for that. Most of the tests were ok, expect for the stress test. Not because it was stressful, but coz they had to stick these sensors on my chest for which I had to shave off my chest hair. Since I did not do it before I got there, a guy at the hospital did it for me.

And boy it was a mistake. Not only did he shave it badly, I ended up having cuts all over my chest and eventually started bleeding. To make things worse, I was wearing a white T-shirt. Somehow got through it and now for the next few weeks, I’ll have to bear the itching sensation on my chest as the hair grows back.

I will get the test results in 2 days. Apperently I have high blood pressure.

    Gosh, someone forcing you to shave off your chest hair! That sucks, man. Anyway, if you want your upper body properly shaved (with a machine, not with a razor), go to Brilliant hair-dressing saloon in JP Nagar 6th Phase (12th Main). They charged me 50 bucks and did it quite neatly.

    Congratulations. Like with facial hair, chest hair tends to grow far faster, far rougher, once shaved. You’ll have to keep shaving it every so often, so you had better start hunting for a good barber.

    Evil, no way!!! Waxing has its own advantages – the hair growth is lesser and slower and the new hair are not stiff and hence not itchy – dont believe me? Ask your girlfriend.

    Hey, don’t scare him! It’s okay, it doesn’t grow fast in one shave. You can leave at that.
