I hope you all know what a mirage actually is. If someone does not know, here is a brief informal intro to mirage. All of us must have traveled by road. While traveling ever noticed the water on the road which disappears when you get close? That is a mirage. Well this post of mine is not about mirage either. But something very similar. Something all of us have experienced in life at some point or another.
We meet several different people during our life. All of them unique and special in their own way. The question that I want to pose is.....Can we judge someone just by looking at them? I think most of us think alike and I know what we think. Looks are elusive. Still when we meet someone good looking, we are attracted to them. Knowing that looks don't tell the whole story, we still want to be with the good looking people. Have you ever wondered what happens to all the not so good looking people? What do they do? I know a lot of not so good looking people with hearts of gold and pure souls. And I am pretty sure that many of you do too. But the truth remains intact, we want the company of good looking people. But we forget that usually the good looking people are mirages.
How can you actually know a person? The true nature of a person comes out through their words. Then why are looks so important in today's world? Ever wondered why we have good looking actors and actresses? Why not a not so good looking actor who can act better? Talking about Katrina Kaif....I know that almost all Indian people are her fans. Everybody loves her. But how can you love someone without knowing who they really are? No offense to Katrina but stop and think for a minute. Ever thought about why you love Katrina Kaif? Because she looks good? Her looks are good enough to make you love her? I don't think so.
I have been almost all over India and have met many people. And a pretty good percentage of those people were mirages. So what do we do about them? How do we handle such people? You won't even know that the next person you are smiling at might be backbiting about you to someone else. I reckon that we all start using our brains more, rather than our eyes.
PS: I have not labeled any section as mirages, its my own personal opinion.

Good job bro.. I enjoyed a lot :) Keep writing.
ReplyDeletenice post...our really best and closest friends are not necessarily good looking, but we search for good looking frnds becoz of the false image. and since we live for the society and our "image", we seek them as they give us a higher "status" in view of the onlookers. true friends is totally based on ur experiences with them.
ReplyDeletenow how wud u react if i tell someone that my fav actress is XYZ who is probably a pathetic looking and did a cameo in a hit katrina film, he will give a look and think that something is wrong with me...so the cycle continues
P.S. i dont like katrina btw
it will sound biased but i dont like her either :)
ReplyDeleteWell its human tendency dude .DO u want the scientific answer to this ? i saw a documentary on NATGEO once "Naked science" .i suggest u to watch it too.
ReplyDeleteHowever ,from other viewpoint you are absolutely right .You cant know a person from their looks .But still a lot of importance is attached to looking good ,thats the way society is.
so u think u'd go by what society does...? even if its not the right thing to do?
ReplyDelete@abhinav: ya ob, we do everything for the society only and i mean everything...
ReplyDeletei do everything for me and my loved ones.
ReplyDelete@abhinav: tell me an instance where u did something against the society.
ReplyDeleteok...i cant think of anything...but the point is that we are still young...and i can say this that, if i have to go against the society for anything, i will go full on.
ReplyDeletethat is if its the right thing to do.
ReplyDelete@abhinav: we all have already done things which may not exactly be the right thing just becoz we live in a society. not that it is wrong or anything, thats the way it is...u want to change it, go ahead, i will support but i am not going to be trying to change anything...got a short life, need to enjoy [:P]
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying i'll go by what society tells me to do . I said thats the way society .it's become natural , i cant say more.
ReplyDeletehi raid3n ,
ReplyDeleteBrilliant post..frm whr do u get such awesome ideas man..i really set aback..ur posts r gr8..do u get ideas in dreams?? ..:)nice post
It is a very good question but I don;t think you have answered it. Your question requires thinking but what is ur take? what shd be done apart from say using brain?
ReplyDeleteI think the people who are not mirages, should evolve themselves over a period of time to semi-mirages. So that they're not predictable and no one can take advantage of them. At least that's what I've done.
ReplyDeleteawesome post
ReplyDeleteIf people could see inner beauty, they wouldn’t care about the outer beauty. Since we live in a physical world, we go on appearance.
Unfortunately, the world sees physical well being instead of emotional. The concept that i want to make clear is that if you love yourself, then it should show on the physical plane as well. So do we love ourselves, the way we look and the way we are???
Nice views bro.. i am quite impressed and i totally agree with you that we should look for those kind of friends who have golden heart rather than great looks .because in the long run only former ones remains close to you ..
