Expressions

For IT people, the first thing which strikes their mind after listening to the word expression is “Regular expressions”. Straight away their mind starts losing track of the present blog and wander around thinking hard about various characters used in regular expressions like *,%,~,^ etc etc. But since you are reading this article now, let me tell u, this blog is not about the regular “Regular expressions” which we come across in daily lives. This blog will consider the most natural gift that every person has in him/her, called the expression.

Knowingly or unknowingly the first thing we notice in everybody is their expression. We always get the hint of what other person is thinking based on his expression (Not true always, but true in most cases). There are so many different kinds of expressions and most of them are same on everyone’s face. What I mean by this is, you can always recognize the default expressions like “angry”,”happy”,”sad” on anyone without mistake. For instance I met some friends from my previous company last week. We were meeting after a year and a half. As soon as we saw each other, we all had a hearty laugh. Without any words spoken, we all understood that we were very happy for meeting.

Another such kind of expression which everyone recognizes is “THE LOOK” (Commonly used term to describe expressions like “Surprise”, “anger”, “Shock” depending on the situation). “Hidden Expressions”, one of the most dangerous kinds of expression is used by most of the people. I can give you couple of instances of such expressions below –

Instance-1- College days, teacher catches you for talking in the class.
Teacher – Hey you... Why are you laughing in my class?
You – (Slowly standing up) Sorry sir. (The expression on your face is kind of guilty, sorry, but then under your breath you would be swearing at your teacher for catching you laugh in his class.)
Teacher – What Sorry? Get out of my class right now.
You – (Bending the head down, and giving a very sorry expression) I wont repeat this again, sir. (But within you, get lost man, attendance already over. Should I go out and relax for a while)
Teacher – Next time I see you laughing, I will send you directly to the principal. Sit down.
You – (With a sigh of relief) Thank you, sir. (The expression on your face is “Thank god, I escaped”, but within yourself; you would still be thinking of that previous joke and laughing silently… ;).

Instance-2- You are on your way to market and there you meet your old college mate whom you hated during the college days and the mate is unaware of this hatred. You would try to escape and hope he would not notice you, but unfortunately for you he calls you name and comes towards you. You have no choice but to wait till he arrives near you.
Mate – Hi maan, seeing you after such a long time. How are you maan?
You – (With a fake smile, clutching teeth, greet him back) Hi maan, I am fine… How are you? (Within you - this bugger looks happy. Must be living nicely with his family. Why god, why? Why did I come to market at this time!!!).
Mate – I am fine too man, heard you got married and all. When was it? You never invited me… huh!!!
You – (You wish!!!) Actually my marriage was arranged so quickly man. I had no time to call all my friends. Besides I did call you on your cell, but it always gave me this number is not valid message. Has your number changed or what. (Oh god, why the hell am I reasoning this guy so much. Who the hell cares if he did not attend my marriage!!!)
Mate – Yeah for sometime I had problem with my connection, but the number is still the same maan. Here is my email ID man (He mutters something which you type in your cell and save it as a message). Anyways, I gottu go now maan, see you sometime later. Do mail me ok?
You – (With a happy expression on face) Sure maan. Definitely. Chalo bye. See you soon. (As soon as the mate leaves in other direction, you turn around and walk as far as possible from him and on the way delete the message you just stored).

In both of the above situations, you could easily hide your actual thinking by giving a false expression to the other person who would not even get a clue of what you are thinking of him. Some people are born with this dangerous talent of “Hidden Expressions”, infact I would say most people are rather “gurus” in this field. After using this talent, the person would enjoy the satisfaction of fooling the other person.

That’s it from me in this blog. Hope to have got some expression on your face after reading this blog. I really hope it wont be one of those dangerous talents when people would say “nice blog”… (Bull!!... Doesn’t even know what he is talking and this fellow write blog itseems… Total crap!!!)

Broken Hearts

Topic sounds like a real boring, sad story is gonna be revealed below, but then, I would like to take this as an interesting topic and try to make it interesting.

So here we go in the search of a real broken heart -

I was wondering that there might be so many people who fall in so called "Love" and after sometime, they come out of it saying their heart is broken. Now what actually this broken heart means to some people is what I am going to find out and come to a conclusion -

First I met this guy (Mr.A), who was looking kind of sad and he was staring at blue sky.
"Hi dude, what’s up? Howz life", I asked him. He was kind of surprised and gave a "Do I know u" kind of look. "Hi, who r u?” he said in return. "I am kind of doing a survey on broken hearts, so is ur heart broken?” He stared me for a couple of minutes and then spoke "Yes, my love left me last month. She got engaged and hasn't invited me for her marriage". "Yeah, man, very sad indeed. I know how it feels!!" I said though I dint know how it feels really. So this guy had a broken heart just coz his love dint invite him for her marriage and this bloke spent his time staring at the blue sky. I dunno what he is thinking. So I moved on to this next person.

"Hello... Hello... I can’t hear u properly... can u call me later?" this second guy (Mr.N) was talking in his cell. I went near him and as usual started with "Hi". This guy took it very nicely and returned with enthusiasm saying "hello". I started off with usual talk abt knowing him and finally asked him "Is ur heart broken?” Suddenly his face went pale, he let out a big sigh and then started "Maan, dont ask me, u dunno how it feels when heart breaks man". I thought, this guy looks cool but is so much depressed and intended to listen to him. He continued - "I dun have any girlfrens, nobody understands me maan. Sometimeback I liked this girl (miss.X) who rejected my proposal. Then I liked this other girl (miss.Y) who dint even try to understand me and left with her BF. Then.... ". He goes on and on and I am wondering if this guy's heart has been broken more than million times and still this guy continues his search for the "true love" which seems non-existent in this whole world. his cell phone rings, "Hello... Heeeeey hi... what’s up?" he goes on.. I thank god for breaking this conversation (one way) and start wondering whom is he talking to so nicely even after so many heart breaks. Finally his conversation ends and I ask him who was it. He says, some nice girl in his office whom he likes very much. That was enough for me.

I went on to meet many people with their own stories of broken hearts and finally realized that some people keep living in past after their heart is broken and some others keep searching for the person whom he believes will not break his heart. There are some more people who spend their time writing such blogs to repair their broken heart
