The Look(s) :P

"Because I wanted to see that expression on your face."
This is one line I've heard so so many times after someone said something entirely untrue, or intentionally stupid, or maybe they goofed up and didn't want to look stupid, but that's irrelevant. Anyway, so, about the expression. Now I'm beginning to become aware of the myraid expressions I have. Like, every single situation has something exclusive for it. You may never witness them all, and you won't, in fact, so, perhaps, I can just tell you about them. And no two looks, however similar, are the same.

When I wake up in the morning, and if no one disturbs me - *the soft-a-little-lost-a-little-here-i-love-you look*
...and if I am disturbed - *the you-get-lost-i-want-to-sleep-again-wails-cries-sobs look*

When I'm going to school, if I am on time - *the i'm-going-to-be-the-next-head-girl look*
...and if I am late - *the being-head-girl-is-so-uncool-i-like-being-late look*
(If you're even thinking of asking me what the connection between 'on time'/'late', and 'head girl'/'head girl not' is... don't.)

When I'm the class prefect (which I have been for the last countless number of months, for reasons known only to IB) - *the i'm-so-responsible-dignified-and-all-that look*
...and when I'm not - well, it depends on the topic of the particular conversation that I'm busy with... *cheeky smile*

When waiting outside Mrs. Kar's office during class - *the relaxed-take-your-time-hi-amarnath-da-hi-jyoti-da look*
...and when waiting outside her office during the break - *the so-what-if-you're-the-principal-i-have-just-as-much-of-a-life look*

When I come across a good teacher in the corridor - *the it's-so-nice-to-see-you-how-have-you-been look*
...and when I come across a not so good teacher in the corridor - *the i'm-pretending-it's-so-nice-to-see-you-cuz-i'm-generally-polite-plus-you-better-give-me-marks look*

When I'm sleepy in a class - *the i'm-sleepy-but-i'm-keeping-my-eyes-open-somehow look*

When I'm in the bus and there's an aunt-like lady in a bright pink saree who insists on nudging me - *the huh-huh-i-have-as-much-of-an-elbow-as-you-huh-huh look*

When I'm walking down and people honk unnecessarily, just because I'm walking in the middle of the road - *the yes-the-road-belongs-to-my-dad-and-if-it-doesn't-it-doesn't-belong-to-your-dad-either-so-shut-up look*

When I see a cute guy - *the batting-my-eyelashes-without-making-the-purpose-too-obvious look*

When I see a hot guy - *the looking-at-you-looking-away-looking-back-at-you look*

When I see a rich guy - *the Dad's-earned-lots-you-blowing-it-up-eh-? look*

When I see a nice guy - *the i'm-glad-people-like-you-still-exist look*

When I see a guy who's hot, and cute, and nice and rich - *the i'm-dreaming-so-no-point-looking-or-even-if-i'm-not-you-can't-be-mine-so-no-point-looking look*

When I see a man who's hot, and cute, and nice and rich - *the you're-here-!-i-think-i'm-dreaming-but-yay-!-anyway look* (this, I haven't put to use yet - got no such opportunity :P )

When people smoke - *the pity-plus-anger-plus-disgust-plus-why look*

When I reach home - *the i'm-exhausted-where's-ma look*

When I'm pretending to study - *the why-am-i-studying-when-i-could-be-watching-clouds-pity-me look*

When I'm watching the clouds - *the i'm-so-fascinated-even-if-i-see-this-everyday-dreamy-eyed look*

When I'm sky gazing at night - *the i'm-so-fascinated-even-if-i-see-this-every-night-starry-eyed look*

When I'm sleeping - ...duh, how would I know how I look then! But my guess is *the innocent-happy-dreams look*

Some of my other famous looks...
*the yay! look*
*the haha look*
*the lost look*
*the thank-you look*
*the i'm-short-of-words look*
*the don't-talk-to-me-now-i-could-erupt look*
*the i'm-unreasonably-happy look*
*the i-love-you look*




*the you're-still-here-?-i-didn't-expect-it-but-appreciate-it look*
*the if-you've-read-through-this-at-least-comment-dude look*
*the thank-you-for-commenting look*

*smile*

The Game said...

That was a blog to read.
Means you have chosen a very common subject which nobody will care to write about but still you had made a prettu much stuff to read on such a trivial topic.
Waiting for some interesting blog on some interesting topic from your side.

Radhika said...

Haha YAmini!! This post is amazing :)
I love the fact that you're so thoughtful, and how well you analyze basic day-to-day stuff.

Sannit said...

A beautiful write... The subject was so simple but the way you presented it was nice. Really liked a lot but I am confused while imagining in which "look" do you look best

Shaijil said...

I was hearing some romantic songs and reached your blog while searching for more.
After reading and imagining all your expressions what I feel is
'I Love You'.
