Don't we all know what reflection is, it's simple and its everywhere. And no, I am not talking about "serious thoughts" what I meant is the prevailing phenomenon of physics which when translated into everyday words, turns out to be "the casting back by a body or surface of light, heat or sound without absorbing it".
Surprisingly we do not know enough about it and most importantly we are not aware that each one of us has our own favorites. Seems bit unannounced but allow me to classify.
First comes the pretty one the mirror reflection for which the world is crazy about. Begins soon after you are out of bed, brushing, bathing getting ready, while trying different outfits in a shopping mall, even while trying on new bags, before important kisses, ouch when you have that pimple, salon during a makeover, congratulating yourself on a good day and cheering up and motivating yourself on a not so good one.
Then comes the anxious type... when you leave the house doubtful and of course without an actual mirror.. please admit we do play a little peek-a-boo here wrist watch dials, pen flaps, inside rear views in a car, at times specs that are meant to show you the world clearly on the pretext of "cleaning the glasses " have helped you to glance at yourself.
The next one is crazy but aesthetic at the same time. while having a deep conversation you can find your reflection in the eyes of your pal. No wonder it is said beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. It lets you connect at another level altogether.
Another type is the reflection on water bodies That shimmering image of yourself can give you a lot to ponder. Also, if it is the lights and nature reflecting, it fills in the artistic quest of a being in the best possible manner
.
Next, I guess is Photographs one of the important kinds considerably because it lets you win over the memories. We all have at least one person in life with whom we have lots of memories to cherish but now either we are not in contact or the person is off to the biggest party house of the universe. To be honest we might not even regret the lost touch but if you do not have a picture you regret it high time that something feels terribly missing.
Then comes the shadows during the day, during the nights...it haunts, it follows, it changes shapes hate it or like it...it is there with us always. Generally favourites of soul searchers.
Now the last one is my personal favorite. I am a big time liar about my feelings and expressions and please don't get me wrong as most of the lies are to my own self. But, I have seen the most realistic of my expressions while binge-watching something on the screen. The moment scene changes and screen goes dark for a fraction of seconds you can see your reflection there it is the real me. I have seen it all the faith, scary, childish, innocence, furious, love, happy, powerful, hilarious, sad and teary. To me, it works like an old-school charm. Practically it was today's show and respective expressions that inspired me to write down this piece.
