Smile...it's infectious..so start smiling...


Smile...Have we ever thought while smiling whether it's a PAN AMERICAN or DUSCHENNE one.whether it involved ZYGMATICUS muscles or ORBICULARIS OCCULI.Scared of words ?...didn't get anything?..well it was intended too..I also hadn't got it first when i found it in an article.

Okay m putting it in another way.Can u tell me how many times u passed a smile today ..or yesterday..or day before that.I don't expect any positive answer from urside,bt if i ask u how many of them were really heartfelt, probably u will b left with a blank face. I am not sure abt u ppl bt i don't remember when was the last time my smile was out of my control. All the time my smiles used to b smiles of politeness rather than happiness. They are just the part of social manners we were taught by our elders.
So a smile can b one originating frm Zygmatics muscles.For this kind of smile u needn't to do more than pulling ur lip corners up & tightening ur nose .Ya u r smiling now.
But it may b another one originating frm obricularis oculi.it brings a gleam in ur eye,raises ur cheeks up & impouches the lower eyelids.This is linked to happiness & activation of left hemisphere of brain(this part of brain has to do with positive emotions)
Do u know when had we given our first smile. It was two to three hrs after the birth & it was of second type.it was Parental smile.The second phase of smile starts between fifth week & fourth month, a social smile coz the infant smiles when it sees on a person's face.
when a smile is of second type it used to hav sm meanings b'hind it.one can read ur smile & get the mood or the state of mind u r goin through. You must hav seen MONALISA smile, if u hav seen it once i bet u can never forget it.Researchs have shown that when this painting was made she was 83% happy,9%disgusted,6 % fearful, 2 % angry.Can u believe so much info is hidden in that smile ? Ofcourse when u r talking abt one of the most mysterious smile of world u have to start thinking beyond the general limit.It has been said that she was pregnant at that time & that smile is smile of the coming of new life.
well i m not goot at analyzing arts, so won't comment on what others say, but one thing i am sure abt is that we r lucky we r bornin a country where we don't hav to search for moments to smile at.if we were of russian origin then it would hav been really difficult. Reason behind this is the russian culture . They can't differentiate between smile & laughter. If you pass a smile to a russian you may be thought to be a mad.
In a country like India also u can be deprived of moments of laughter, if u r working in a software company,but here also u will have ample chances to give a fake smile to your colleagues & managers.So in all the condition keep smiling and it will lead others to do so.
