Faces in the Crowd

All my life I have believed that a face is the reflection of a person's heart and soul. As a person's thoughts change, the face changes. Somehow I feel the facial features give way to the ongoing thoughts of the person. It is very obvious to notice extreme emotions like anxiety and happiness but I think, one can also notice experience.

As a person grows, he learns. Learning is something that happens both consciously and subconsciously. One can easily observe the lines of maturity and grace appear on the face of a person, as he/she grows. This random theory of mine can be supported using photographs. I have observed changes in people's everyday looks(I mean without make up), in the photographs taken just a month apart. I think not only me, if one observes closely, everyone can notice the change. The emotion dominant in your mind always reflects on your face. And everyone will agree that dominant emotion of the mind keeps changing with the phases of life, one goes through.

Some will claim that with time the skin ages resulting in the changes. But what I feel is, one month is not a very long time. In a crowd when I come across faces, I always try to calculate the dominant emotion behind that face. I always try to read the minds of the people I come across.

Sometimes when in a hurry, I miss the look on the faces and so wish for a camera. The best solution would have been a camera in my eyes. I don't know why God didn't think about this. To cover up his flaw, I have to carry one around and this indirectly gave birth to my love for still photography and sketching portraits.

Coming back to the looks, I think the more you learn in life, the more it reflects on your face. So its really important to have the right concepts in life, then only you will look right. i think this may be the only beauty tip that actually works. so its well said that "you have to be beautiful inside to look beautiful outside".

And hence I will conclude by saying that the beauty of your face totally depends on what you think and what all you have gone through in your life and most importantly what you have learnt from it. So to stay beautiful, stay positive!
