The Matinee Idol

---------------------------------------------------
My first drabble! For those who may not know, a drabble is an extremely short work of fiction exactly one hundred words in length around an interesting idea or concept
----------------------------------------------------

"Damn"! Said Shyam Kapoor, staring at the single white strand.

The stupid Gopal is getting old, he muttered – he missed that when he colored my hair!

He smirked at himself with a plastic smile. The botox made it tough to feel his face!

Shyam hit the sets by noon. The director pulled up a chair, “Here is your role crafted for the Awards season – you play son and father”!

The long suffering make-up man Gopal thought to himself – “Cover his black(!!) hair with grey and put wrinkles on him for the role?? Could've saved a tonne of time and money”!

  3. @Purba - Thanks - Just needed an excuse to post a GC pic..

    @Journomouse - GC - Ugly - Cmon, Is that possible? It is a strange pic and so caught my attention. Come to think of it, it might be more appropriate for one of LP's (Lazy Pineapple) caption contest - What is running on his mind now kinds..
