Expressionless


My face generally, shows no expressions.
My angry face is probably the same has my sad face. And my sad face is probably the same as my bored face.
If I were an actor, I'd be an Arjun Rampal.

I don't know why this is the case.

I've honestly never been good at expressing myself. Maybe that's why I like to paint and maybe that's why I like to write. To substitute and vent out my emotions through ways apart from my face.

I love to sing, but I realise I don't like my singing because I'm never able to sing with the emotion the song was written with.
My vocal teacher pointed this out to me actually. Now along with singing, he's also teaching me how to bring out the emotion of each word in the song. I find it really fascinating, how expressions work.
It's not just the quality of the voice, it's how it's sung.
You can be a terrible singer, but if you get the emotions right, you can make someone cry.

I went for an audition for a television advertisement a while ago. Those people there were giving me different situations where I had to change my facial expression accordingly and instantly. I don't need to write how well that went.

But this will change.
I mean I'll never be a Jim Carrey of expressions, but definitely better than what I am now.
Feels good to work on oneself.


Now a quote by one of the greatest singer-songwriters ever to have walked on this planet followed by an expressionless selfie I audaciously took of myself in the bathroom:

"Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my poker face. P-P-P-Poker face P-P-Poker Face.
MUM MUM MUM MAAAAHHHHH"

Jaan jaati hai jab uth ke jaate ho tum...



Youn hi pehlu mein baithe raho
Aaj jaane ki zidd na karo

Aisi baatein kiya na karo
Aaj jaane ki zidd na karo 

Umr bhar na taraste raho
Aaj jaane ki zidd na karo

Baat itni meri maan lo
Aaj jaane ki zidd na karo

Rok lo aaj ki raat ko
Aaj jaane ki zidd na karo

Aaj jaane ki zidd na karo
Aaj jaane ki zidd na karo
