Towelhead : Subject unknown
Dear Baby V,
One day, during the course of my travels, I came across this young man who was unorthodox in his choice of headgear. I was compelled by the scene to take a photograph without the young man's knowledge and I have reproduced it above. Let me clarify that this gentleman was clearly not of North West Indic descent, and therefore had no religious obligation to cover his head in the above manner. He seemed to be a Chinese youth, but that is not visible in the photo, only that he is covering his head with a towel.
Why would one get in a public bus attired thus? Was he trying to make a statement? Was this some sort of Pan-Asian Solidarity Stunt, where he is proclaiming that "we are all towelheads" as a reaction to racist rhetoric? Was he trying to appropriate for himself the label "towelhead", seeing as he was literally wearing a towel, and not a turban?
No one will know the true motives of this young man, but we have photographic evidence of his existence. Whatever his reasons may be, let us all appreciate the courage of the anonymous towelhead, for it takes guts to go out in public dressed that way.
Regards,
Puppy Manohar
PS: And then I got off the bus... err...

Probably he's a fan of the colour pink. Because he's deeply influenced by the Aerosmith song

I propose his nomination for:
(1) Bharat Ratna
(2) George Cross
(3) Presidential Medal of Freedom
(4) Hawk Planet Outreach Center lapel-pin for putting out the fire engulfing Holy Koran on 9/11/2010.
P.S. Please do not give in to your urge to disembark from the bus the next time you are so honored as to share a journey with this remarkable descendant of the 'Han' genus. Instead, ask him his name and print it on a t-shirt with a, 'I just had a cold shower of righteousness with Towelhead (name comes here)! message'.
Best Wishes
Fungal Sutra - What a creative name !!!
