Amit was the life of 10 ‘B’ ….total fun, very enthusiastic, always willing to help his friends, and most importantly, someone who was always very happy! His jokes used to send his classmates into riots of laughter, and one could easily say that he was the most amicable person in class. Not to be left behind in studies, he was one of the class toppers as well, and also the teacher’s pet…….but who can fight time and fate? Amit lost his mother in an accident….the very person who was his moral support throughout his life , who had always inspired him to excel in whatever he did, and guided him in difficult situations, was now no more. It took Amit some time for the news to actually sink in, and when it did, he felt like a part of him had also died….he seemed to be gradually losing interest in his life…..he was also not a person who would share his innermost feelings with anyone. So Amit decided to keep all his sorrows buried in his heart, and put on a mask, pretending to be normal again. It was back to being the same-old enthu Amit, the Amit who could bring a smile on virtually anyone’s face with his funny one-liners and witty remarks! …he appeared more jolly than ever, and seemed to be in total control of the situation…..his face was smiling, but his heart was still crying…he did not allow anyone to look into his heart and find out what was there inside….sadly, he got used to wearing this mask on his face, so much so that after 10 years, when his girlfriend got married to someone else, he did not shed a single tear or show any signs of frustration…..The mask had become a very part of his existence……….
There are many Amits amidst us, who are hiding themselves behind an alibi of emotions. But, as in this case, most of them go unnoticed………..
Optimistically Pessimistic :-) 
Amateurish? i’d say to a meager extent,
but a strong description sets up the lavish tent!
The mask indeed is something banal,
and proves its uses are often painful.
Put it on, cast it away! A conundrum indeed,
But keshi here knows from deeds,
that one mask will not fulfill your needs! 🙂
yup Nikhil. I totally agree. What starts as a temporary solution often takes a firm place gradually. I think its also cos of the people around who tend to see only skin deep. The ones behind the mask compromise and most of the times fail to realize that its only pseudo happiness.
Shankar – Nice poem man 🙂
Sri – watch Ganesh’s movie ‘Aramane’ …..in that, he becomes the photographer in his lover’s marriage, but wears a smile throughout….but the song in the background denotes the deep melancholy in his heart 😦
