As the saying goes, a man without a beard is like a lion without a mane. In that case, it seems like Roger Federer has taken it seriously too.
Federer's clean-shaven look is well known, and is one of the most consistent aspects of his appearance. Thanks to a sponsorship deal with razor manufacturer Gillette.
But he stands undefeated after three matches at the season finale. And the facial growth, still only at the stubble, is showing no sign of meeting a razor.

When asked on the sudden switch from the usually clean-shaven look after registering his 22nd win over Novak Djokovic on Tuesday, Federer said, “The water is very special here in London. I shaved this morning and got this beard this afternoon, it’s weird,” he said while speaking to the media.
But apparently it has turned out to be a lucky charm for the World No. 3. Defeating Tomas Berdych, Djkokovic and now Kei Nishikori has taken him to his 13th semi-final at the season-ending championship.
Federer added, “If it itches too much, I'll take it off. If my girls can't stand it, I'll take it off. If I look in the mirror and I don't like it, I'll take it off,” he said after defeating Nishikori on Thursday. “Maybe I'll think of Santa and keep it. It's around the corner. I don't know yet.
PM Narendra Modi is riding a success wave. He might've witnessed a flop show in Bihar, but hey, he's still friends with Obama and can still attract a huge crowd at the Madison Square Garden.
And IMHO, that's all that matters.
Still a dominating figure in world politics, it's almost impossible to outdo the man. And yet, one brave Quora user made an attempt.
Keeping in mind his infatuation for 'scissor', you can choose 'rock' and almost always expect to win. Improve your chances of winning by telling him that you support Congress.
That way, he'll think you'll use 'paper' and walk right into the trap.
Remember those days when we used to listen to Euphoria, Lucky Ali, Falguni Pathak, Bombay Vikings and Bombay Rockers? Those were the days of good tasteful music, with little sexual innuendos (I say little because what do you think Channe ki khet me was about?). They didn't have to use dirty words to make their songs sell. It was all about rhythm and music in its best form. Ah! Those were the days of pure auditory bliss minus the gaali galoch and noise in the music industry today.
So, let's take a musical trip down memory lane and revisit the songs that made us '90s kids croon and swoon:
1. Kya Soorat Hai-Bombay Vikings
We got introduced to pop via Bombay Vikings, and this song couldn't have done a better job at it.
The song that launched India's first all-girls band courtesy of a talent show on V Channel. We all danced to it in school for some function or the other.
Ah! This introduced us to the beautiful princess-like Alisha and the smoldering hot Milind Soman. The song that was responsible for the sexual awakening of an entire generation.
Farewells, senti-friendship videos, the end of a college trip - This song has always been there to express everything we ever wanted to say about friends and friendships.
