Reflections

My mother placed me in an educational institution when I was five, and I remained in one ever since! However, much learning is available away from organised set-ups. Sharing experiences is a wonderful human activity.

War of the Poses.

If and when you pose like a prince or princess you become one.

Some time ago a person made an appearance on the silver screen, hidden in a numerous audience, but posing like a royal and attired in a peculiar but in a peculiar but elegant fashion. Needless to say, his presence was quickly noticed and was soon enjoying a close-up on the screen. His newly discovered talent consisted in impersonating famous people of recent or bygone times.

The pose portrayed left nothing to be desired. Movement was perfectly on the beat, costume in line with the epoch, and speech with the proper undulations and timed falling and rising.

This stunt takes place all the time, everywhere. Real life impersonation has become so popular. People act a part of which they do not have the slightest knowledge of. And yet they manage to pose with the most important and influential group photos.

Some scalawags are so good at it that they can get away with anything. Take, for example the case of ___Bucklemyshoe, who after attending surgery interventions on the battle front, managed to set up a prosperous surgery clinic in another place, next to the hometown. The reputation was so great that it attracted the attention of the peer group concerned.  

People pose to attract attention. Acting has become part of life, until, of course somebody is clever enough to call your bluff.
