Wink! Wink! ,
And one more Wink!
Wow!
It was so different/difficult feeling to wink at someone. I was not able to recollect when I had actually winked at some one. But yesterday It was quick fire three winks! Still hoping they would have not seen it when I actually winked at them. It all started with an old school friend of mine. She was in a rush, and I wanted to meet her. Atleast see her and talk to her. It had been ages we had talked. She came, walked out of shop with loads full of Shoppe. But when we saw each other and talked, it felt like we were never disconnected.
We were just greeting each other, when a blame game of wait was started by me. I had to, because, I was actually there waiting for over an hour to see both my school friends. With some message, one of my friend Winked! and I was just looking at her. And with same stare conviction there was another Wink. It was fun.
We had a very quick fire questions, over her very short and surprise visit. We were about to leave, and I made some comment while leaving the place, and winked and one of them. I don’t even know if she even noticed. It felt happy and amused. Actually I was shocked. There were questions lingering in my mind
Did I wink?
Did I actually wink?
Did I actually wink like this? (winking)
Did I actually wink at her? (with a tense face)
This was latest I winked. Well then I made an attempt to find when was that I wink last time? And when I winked last at a girl? And days actually went back to school.
In classes for std. Xth, we had a huge number rising to 50 if all are present. It was just a week classes had started. One fine morning as I entered, I was trying to figure out who all have made it to class. As my sight was hovering while I entered, she winked. She was used to sitting at second last bench of the class and make pranks. I was shocked. I sat at my place. Still not sure, if she winked at/for me, or I had an illusion. I turned back and gave her an intriguing look. And she winked back again. This time I didn’t miss a moment. She didn’t put on any eyeliner, but still her eyes adored. She batted her eye lashes! I almost got flattered. Without further delay, I winked back at her. I was happy only to find almost all present at that time caught us in the act.
With no time, it became like a sport, who gives up winking, and ready to take punishment. It used to start from time we entered our class rooms, though the lectures and even till we had each other in sight while going home. Was fun and we enjoyed it as sport. But it only short lived, as classmates thought something cooking and started linking us with each other. Without further delay, we decide not to even look at each other. Sad end tough! But still miss being winked at now!
Wink: A wink is a facial expression made by briefly closing one eye. A wink is an informal mode of communication usually signaling, depending on context, sexual attraction or shared hidden knowledge or intent. It also means to take one into confidence for a mischievous act to fool other. In Western culture, it may be used to communicate sexual intentions, ranging from flirtation to an explicit invitation. In many Asian countries, winking may be seen as an offensive gesture. However, it must be noted that winking in the Indian subcontinent often has similar connotations as in the West–a naughty “come on” by a girl to a boy or vice versa. In other instances, the gesture is used to signal an “inside” joke, a sly gesture shared between two people privately, unbeknownst to those around them, as in a social gathering.
Reasons and excuses behind winking are:
- Winking, how delightful of a gesture! I guess it is an innocent little gesture of seeking intimacy with someone else.
- I have something in my eye. (I am physically vulnerable right now.)
- I want to blink but I need to see what is going on at all times. (I don’t trust you with both eyes closed.)
- I just told a joke and now you are in on it…a sly wink in the presence of other people. (I trust you with secret information.)
- I’m just kidding about what I just said. (I want you to know that I am not revealing my true feelings.)
- I am flirting with you. (I want to get closer to you.)
- I guess subconsciously when one eye is closed; it is a simultaneous awareness of something outside and inside. And also when one eye is closed, it means a bit of trust is needed from the other person that they will see what you don’t while they aren’t looking around.
It felt better winking yesterday. All though none of the reason above involved.
Next time you see some one wink, Wink back, you never know when you get next chance.
I would really like to share this poems with you (by John Lavan):
Leaving a restaurant he stalls and sings
loudly and strong
to a throng of people waiting, longing
for pizza, pepperoni. A mister
has on a hat
with candles
and ‘It’s my Birthday! ’ lit up.
Now all the crowd sing out ‘Happy Birthday’
and Andrew waves,
conducts a chorus extravagantly.
I bet you never saw so many smiles.
He parades aisles
winking at a mirror, giving himself the eye.
Thoughts
flirt, Smile, Wink!
