Smiles…

Hey all,
    Today, as I was emersed in the boring theories of extra boring Physics, I came across a pretty interesting thought… It was about the meaning conveyed in a smile… :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

    A simple movement of the lip muscles… A simple greeting conveyed; a signature of friendship; a mark of acquaintance; an essay of meaning; anything from a mark of friendship, to an ocean of expression.

    Its true, smile and the world smiles at you :) This same smile can be used as a means of peace. As a way of marking your friendship, as a bonding of guests, as a reuniting of enemies… A simple gesture which can be used to spread universal brotherhood and world peace… A gesture of goodwill, loads of “yin” and other forms of positive energy. :)

    There was a friend of mine who kept scribbling all over “Smile smile smile”. At that time, I thought she was just a big fat showoff, but now I realize that she was far from it! Now I appreciatively peer at the cards she had distributed when she left, and nod at the small quote which said “open with a smile :)”.

    So, what IS the reason for me thinking up all these when I’m actually supposed to be studying? Simple. I got bored, and I was yet again checking out the school magazine (which I made) and I came across an article written by a junior of mine. At the time she handed it over, we used it to make fun of her and tease her, but now when looked at with a more serious attitude, I think that we should have encouraged her to write more. Ofcourse, she might not have dreamed of the more philosophical implications of what she had composed, but then, “accidental philosophy” shall we say?

Smiles

Smiling is infectious; you can catch it like a flu,
When someone smiled at me, I started smiling too!
When I passed the corner, someone saw my grin,
When he smiled, I realized I passed it onto him!

I thought about that smile, and realized its worth,
A single smile like mine, would travel around the earth!
So if you feel a smile begin, don’t leave it undetected,
Lets start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!

    So what do you think? This little piece of literature is not exactly what I would call sensational, but its “cute”. :) I like the thought… Smiling infectious… Lol… Especially when its used against boys by cute girls :D

    Oh, the poet here is talking about herself smiling at her brother, and her brother smiling back, so please dont run away with false implications either :D

    Anyway, back to the subject at hand, smiling DOES seem to be quite infectious :) And what I would like to focus on is the line “A single smile like mine, would travel around the earth!”. A single smile could travel around the earth, and can you imagine how much peace it would cause? Its such a wonderful thought isnt it? :)

    Simple and sweet. Keep smiling :) Spread the smiles :) Lets join those smiles, and make this world a better place :)

    So ladies and gentlemen, cutting it short here, ‘coz time is short, and exams are near, so time is directly proportional to marks :) Keeeeeeeeeeeeeep smiling…. (CAUTION : Dont keep smiling 24X7… You might end up in an asylum :D )
