Plastic Smiles

As a child something we repeatedly get to hear from our elders is 'kab badi hogi?'( grow up.).... as if being a child is the real issue and growing up is the solution to all the problems of life. But now that I am a grown up woman, I realize Growing Up is the root of all problems and despair in our lives.



Every single day a new revelation...a new understanding...I fail to realize if the truth was actually so obscured or was I simply blind to it...?? I am all grown up now and I hate every single minute of it...gROWING uP sUCKS..........

I hate to see the true colours of people. I hate to understand the undercurrent sarcasm in their tones...their affected mannerisms....... all so sham ... so unreal

I am currently busy attending a friend's wedding (the biggest celebration in an Indian household). From morning to noon I see people faking smiles...the bride faking it in front of aunties whom she doesn't really give a damn about, aunties wearing fake smiles are showering blessings on the couple and in the background busy being their best critic about the bride, the groom , the arrangements etc ..etc....The bride's mother as she attends the guest with a smile on her face is busy swearing under her breath...all the work load, stress...
The guy who happens to be the groom is trying to showcase himself as a good sanskari type boy......... 
EVERY face I see has a HUGE  (extending from ear to ear kind of ) smile on his/her face ....but all made of plastic.
