O,Monalisa!!!! smile please.

research student
One of the most famous paiting of the world "Monalisa" by Leonardo Da Vinci.All viewed,appreciated,criticized depending on whatever they could interpret from their thought.Her smile with the looking at the zero and the neutrality of her face,stiffness of her hands all inch by inch described.Some said it was just a painting,some said she was real,some said she smiled and some said she cried.I have no opinion about Monalisa except that she was beautiful.

I called her here to say that we all are with her playing the same game and displaying the same smile.So many masks of smiling.

1)An innocent smile-Like a child a real one.

2)A derisive smile-The smile of an enemy after his victory.

3)A divine smile-Smile of a Guru at the disciple's realization of what was realized long back by him.

4)A naughty smile-The smile of Lord Srikrishna at every Duryodhana's challenges and revenges.

5)A professional smile-The momentary flashing of teeth sets which is independent of the control from the feelings.

6)An emotional smile-Smile with tears as the maturity to accept the life as it is.

May be there are many more missing.But we start wearing these masks from the morning till evening.We have so well trained our muscles around the teeth That it moves in anyway we wish anytime as we wish.We are always hiding ourselves by one or the other means.Our feelings are always hidden behind the well trained masks of face muscles and we smile.Our wishes are hidden behind the walls of formalities and we peep through the window of hope.We silence our voice behind our own larynx most of the time keeping so many sentences untold.

When we fall down more than looking at our sprained ankles we look around if someone is observing us.Our shyness dominates our pain.The intention of projecting the self to the society becomes important than the intution of living happily.Only few clap with full appreciation and with full noise with both hands,but most of us think like queen Elizabeths whether to clap,whether to laugh,whether to smile.The crying bride also stops crying when she becomes concious about the camera.

The story of our pretending for the photographic projection of our personality in front of the society is there with all of us.We all have realised one best property of the life that 'it goes on'.

The only fault in the history of mankind was the consumption of the apple by Adam and Eve,that induced so much knowledge to hide and hide and hide.The most intelligent is the one who hides the things the best.So to all of you and to all of us

"we are the creatures ,all convinced,compromised with the facts of life .Let us at least pose well so that at least something looks alright.Be ready for the photoshoot by the society any moment and every moment."

"O Monalisas!!!!! Smile please"
