My journey
to my home from my college was two days long and often- well mostly I used to
be alone. I used to meet people, strangers and made friends but just for that
journey. And mostly their journey ended before mine. So, it meant a lot of
alone time. I never got bored because I had a habit of reading faces. All sort
of faces-sad, happy, angry, tired anxious, scared, suspicious. Sitting on that
top seat, I enjoyed looking at these faces.
Often their
conversation said a lot about them because they would be oblivious of a person
watching them. And I enjoyed it, really really enjoyed.
I had
always been a loner who liked to be left alone with her thoughts. I enjoyed the
journey sitting on that window seat, silently enjoying the music in my ears and
the scenery outside. I enjoyed watching people walk by, going on with their
task. I used to wonder whether each one is going. Imagining their lives. And
just thinking that made my journey appear to be short. I often wanted it to be
extended and when the train was running late, it gave me a thrill though I
never expressed. I met so most amazing people in my journey, some of whom
seemed that we would remain in touch but it hardly happened.
Reading
faces was my hobby and I used to do with people around me and guess what I started
reading people well. I thought it is crazy but lately discovered that it is an
art.
My friends always
consulted me about people. Some were so sure of my analysis that they showed my
pictures of someone they were to be married to. I often thought I am fooling
them. But to my amazement, I was more than average times accurate.
In all this
I learnt something very very important, every face has multiple stories of
his/her multiple aspects. Each story telling us more about the person. It is
very true that we can’t know a person fully. Those people who claim to
understand a person is lying. There are so many aspects of a person that some
of them are even unknown to him/her.
I love to
listen to stories of a person because it shows that a same person is capable to
having so many different personalities that it is difficult to pick the real
one and all this is so very interesting.
It is
thrilling to discover and uncover personalities.
