Appearance

Everyone wants to look good all the time…. Not possible, is it!!?
Few people have the knack of looking good most of the time, likewise few remain as unseen as ever even after the hazardous circumstances they face. Attention is what many seek, and get it at times when it is least needed and even at times when they know they are unheeded. Similar events occur everyday which makes everyone behave in a way that is not themselves.

So, how many of the faces I am looking around at any given time are actually true to their expressions??? No one will ever be able to guess. A person with a deep thinking face might just be trying to fool others in thinking that he indeed is thinking!!!!!

Just one observation and no explanation as yet… and the probability that this observation being an explanation for most of other behavioral aspects makes not only this observation but also a possible explanation more complex..!!

Complex it is. A solution which seems elusive will generally be obvious. So, if I am able to figure out false expressions in others, they would be able to do the same with mine. Hence, I tried to put myself into their shoes… results I found were quite unexpected and astonishing. The person I appear to be to others is totally different from the person I think I am.!!!

Solution to this problem is another area to which the problem never ascertains. Perspective. A person’s action signify something only when you are looking at it in a predetermined perspective, i.e. a single me could ‘appear’ different to two people at the same point of time, not because I acted differently…but, because they perceived my actions in a different manner.

The statement ‘Never judge a man before you actually know him’, is quite true if you are judging a person beyond his appearance, i.e. you may never know a person properly unless your way of knowing him is correct. But still, we humans are unpredictable, so never take decision for others under any circumstances even if they are closest of your friends . Finally about the people seeking attention…what can I say….PEOPLE GET TENDENCIES.

An abstract on ‘To kill a mockingbird – Harper Lee’



A shivery night.
I’m alone beside a tree…
Nature takes a turn, it starts raining, a large drop of crystalline water drenches my spectacles…
‘Bad weather is caused by kids who don’t listen to and obey their elders.’

There is warmth in the air, a house is on fire and is brought down to its ashes. A couple of keen kids are watching this; a shy man comforts them with a blanket.
‘I never liked my house.’ (-Maudie)
Smoke engulfing the house condenses into….a cement patch….on a bird hole which once yielded a broken watch, some coins and two dolls.
‘Tree wasn’t ill.’ (-Jim)
A huge tree is wavering to the high winds and is sheltering three kids who are planning a play –‘Boo Radley’, they are on their tree house and beneath which in a garden the same three a getting chided for playing with the scissors. A girl returns home sobbing.
‘Atticus listens to my side of story too…..’ (-Scout)
A man comforts her and walks to the living room.
‘Your girl taught me….’ (-Jack Finch)
Another man walks out, takes his unused car for a midnight ride and is confronted by a group of drunkards… and one girl-
‘Hello, Mr.Cunningham. How’s Walter?’ (-Scout), later she screams.
A black man is running from there, fast, trying to escape from prison. He is shot at. ‘Dead…’, is a dog on a lonely street, and its assassin is standing by it with a rifle in his hand, his spectacles shattered by a hammer banging a desk and proclaiming-
‘Guilty, guilty, guilty…’ (-Judge Taylor)
‘Atticus can’t change a decision, but can make the jury think for hours.’ (-Maudie)
A girl has lost her slippers and is walking barefoot to home, as a shiny ‘ham’, along with a boy in that pitch-black night only to feel a dead man’s beard and watch a boy with a broken arm being carried by a stranger.
A girl is escorted by a mysterious man to a creepy house nextdoor where she halts and analyses…
‘Something like … killing a mockingbird’ (-Scout)…
