My friend once gave me a suggestion... When you are in doubt look into the eyes. They would never lie. I don't know what he was thinking when he said this, but I started implementing it in my daily life. I thought my 'strike rate' (if you don't understand what this means, well, keep reading :D) might improve with this technique. It proved...otherwise
I was in my college then. I was never sure what Ms. M thought about me. Then came the thought of 'eye-test'. I took her out and kept looking at her eyes all the time. She felt a lil awkward.
What are you gazing at?
It looked a little awkward for me too... looking at eyes (and not something else :P) for a change. I kept looking. She couldnot hide her discomfort.
Why are you looking that way?
I'm trying to understand what your lovely eyes tell me.
She blushed - And what did they say?
That you are squint-eyed.
The hot tomato soup ordered made its way on to the neatly dyed suit of mine!
It was no different for the next couple of years. I was going around looking into the eyes of everyone I go around...there were rumours in my locality that I've gone from bad to worse; from insane to completely dangerous and many more. But I was hell bent on testing this strategy. After all, it was from a casanova!
This journey took me through all sets of eyes... blue,black,green,blue,sleepy,kinky...what not, the palette was always full. Some eyes which had sympathy for me (probably they believed that I'm insane), eyes which had disgust, eyes which had lust and eyes which had nothing!
One day, a pair of eyes looked so beautiful... I was flat for those eyes and desperately wanted to take those eyes (err...along with the person who owns them) out. I made the move and asked her out. There was a yell and a cry...a cry that had the power to propel me into outer universe. I came to my senses and looked at her. She's my principal's daughter!
I didn't know till that day that my principal has 'fists of fury' and is trained with the shaolins. I decided to dump my 'eyes-theory' that day.
Next day, I saw an article in the news paper... 'Gazing at women's b**** improves your eye sight'... Time to test a new theory ;)
