Face Value
Observation
Romish Shrestha

In the contemporary world there are no discrepancies about the significance or importance of glamour and fashion. The more you look good the more you are sought after and adored. People that do look good quite easily become the object of affection of the people around them and are admired for their seemingly perpetual grace in even the most insignificant things they do. Even the most unbiased has to succumb to the fact that attractive people do have an easier way of life than the people that unfortunately are not blessed with the goods. I being rather of the other sort know for a fact that the other extreme of the scale reflects a life of exaggerated hardships. Fore drawn conclusions are the most difficult to cope with. The thing that vexes the most is that people pre-determine your character solely on the way you look. With these fore drawn conclusions it becomes almost impossible to make a good impression when in dire times and at most times than not, you end up being unsuccessful in an imperative job interview, a promotion request or something of the sort. Being the object of much of these stratifications I can now decipher the behavior of my confronter by the expression on his/her (and mostly it is her) face. These harsh realities I have come to accept long ago and now it even seems very queer, how people can be prognosticated and their almost pathetic transparency. But at times of my rare liberal strokes, I come to think of the natural workings of the mind and the idiosyncratic human nature that contributes to the cause of this stratification. After all people value things that look good and, repel and reprobate things that aren t so easy on the eyes. Untouched by many daily acrimonies I feel that I have at last come to know the importance of one's appearance and its value.
