Hair like Mathra Devi

The wittiest wisecrack came from my grandmother. She said I now look like Mathra Devi.
Who?
I had to ask. My long hair reminded her of a sanyasin named Mathra Devi who used to live at Durga Nag near  Shankarcharya Hill. Apparently she had such long hair that it used to take five attendants to help  wash.
