Expressions........

this past week i was appearing for an interview for my post graduate admissions at IIT Kanpur....all of us who were appearing for the final round of interview were made to sit in a common waiting room.....while we were all sitting there i noticed that all the people there were having unique expressions on their faces...some casual,some serious, some nervous,some calm while there were others who were cracking jokes and were seemingly having a good time there.......actually these were different coping mechanisms for different people to deal with imminent stress!!!!!
i was looking around and observing the different expressions.......the ones on the girls were really interesting....some had a hard look,some not at all friendly....particularly there was one girl who was staring at me with such intensity that i thought she was trying to burn me with her stare(lol!!!!)......seeing such wide emotional sub-genres that i couldn't but help myself to write something about it......this following piece is just a little insight into the different types of expressions that i came across in that room which i shared with all those strangers for a few hours.....i wouldn't forget that piercing look that the girl gave me.....i don't what she was trying to say or convey but she definitely did freak me out for a split second...............here it is EXPRESSIONS.....

expressions.....

expressions there are many..
most of them are not even funny,
grave, none seem to the eye....
what we dont see is the turmoil inside!!!
as if they are standing on the last stair
eyes closed shut, no courage for a stare...
seems to be knocking on hell's gate
someone will soon come to seal their fate.
weird how misleading they can be
how real they can feel
EXPRESSIONS!!!!


the look that finally made you kneel
you never knew that you would be the one to leave.....
leads us in directions wayward...
but we still search for them to make a move forward.
eyes fixed in a grim stare,
cold enough to light a flare.....
you try to find what it says
maybe then you can be at harms way.
so real and true they sometimes are..
for explanations you dont even care.....
EXPRESSIONS!!!!
