I wonder how many of you belong to this clan of the population who think- a smile can work wonders in your life! I somehow believe in this theory and as a result I end up, smiling at almost all the faces that come across my way. Not just faces- I feel a message/mail/scrap incomplete if I don add a smiley at the end. Let the person on the other end perceive that there is a smile on my face when I text them something.
I have this doubt- does smile really hurt!!! There is this set of people, with this perpetual sour look-a look that says -“smile? Who? Me???!!!!!!”. Another set- they beam as if it hurts as they smile!!!! Well - at least I know you are capable of producing a smile… Some others think that the greatest favor they can do a person is -SMILE.
I am left confused- I greet people with a polite smile [and a wink at times:-)] and they don’t even care to respond? What is there in twisting the corners of your mouth wee a little so that you don’t offend a person who cares to greet you? It doesn’t hurt right? Many a times I have faced this situation- I grin at people whom I know and they act as if they are the busiest on earth- that they are left with no time to return a smile even! I swallow the smile that has almost escaped my lips – desperate to hide my humiliation.
Still I smile- I smile at the housekeepers at the office- and they respond, a shy one 2 being with. The security- who at times ease the pain of the thorough checking of my bag. The autowallah- who agrees on a share I suggest (not always- tough people you know!!). I keep my smile always ready – and lavish it on people who won’t call me a nut :-)
You may not always feel happy, u may not be in the best of ur moods, u may be in deep trouble- even I happen 2 face such situations. I have experienced my mood brighten with a simple grin. I look in to the mirror n jus smile at the troubled face I see there- I tell her “u look ugly wit this frown”. And then she smiles – making me feel better :-)
As the famous boy band sang
“Smile… an everlasting smile….
A smile can bring u near to me….. “
