उत्तर
| Me | Hello, Ms.Anita. How are you? |
| Ms. Anita | I’m doing well. How about you? |
| Me | I’m doing very well. Thank you. So, tell me, how was the dance show last evening? |
| Ms. Anita | The show went very well. I think it was one of my finest performances till date. |
| Me | Wow! Now, that makes me wish I was there. But I have to tell you, Ms. Anita, you are one of the best dancers of our time. I don’t know anyone else who can perform ‘Bharatanatyam’ as well as you do. And that too when you have one prosthetic leg! |
| Ms. Anita | Oh, stop it! You are embarrassing me. I know there aren’t many ‘Bharatanatyam’ dancers who have a prosthetic leg, but I’m hardly one of the best. |
| Me | No, I’m serious, Ms. Anita Not many people have the courage and determination to do what you have done. I know that after losing your leg, initially, it was difficult for you to get around. However, you slowly managed to cope with the problem and now you are back in the industry. |
| Ms. Anita | That’s true. At first, it was too difficult. But once I decided that I didn’t want to be dependent on others for the rest of my life, I found the courage to get back everything that I had lost due to the accident. The first time I put on the prosthetic leg, I didn’t think I would get used to it. But now, I hardly notice it anymore. |
| Me | I truly admire your strength and enthusiasm. You chose to overcome the problem and you didn’t give up. I’m sure that wouldn’t have been easy. It’s inspiring to see your hard work pay off. You have performed in India and internationally after the accident. And that shows that you have come a long way. So, would you say that you have left the darkness of that incident behind? |
| Ms. Anita | Yes, I have. It was very important to stop feeling sorry for myself. Self-pity was not going to help me. So, I knew I had to leave the incident behind if I wanted to do something in life. And I haven’t done something unique. There are people who have disabilities that are worse than mine. But they have a positive attitude towards life. They try to be independent and live their life to the fullest. I took inspiration from such people to get over the pain and the sorrow. |
| Me | Well, it is an honour to have met you. I hope that you continue to perform for many more years and that your confidence inspires other people who are going through a similar experience. |
| Ms. Anita | You are being too kind. I certainly intend to perform for as long as I can. I too hope that others, who are trying to come to terms with their disability, find the motivation and the courage to do so. |
| Me | Thank you, Ms. Anita |
| Ms. Anita | Thank you. |

According to some experts, a staggering 93 percent of our daily communication is non-verbal. Facial expressions are easy to decipher. One can readily detect happiness, sadness, anger. Physicians can tell a patient is doing well (or not) by looking at his/her face. Eye contact is another type of non-verbal communication, which can tell a lot about the other person. The eyes convey a range of emotions-happiness, sadness, boredom, surprise, confidence ..... even emotional interest. Staring at someone's forehead may intimidate the recipient, staring at the mouth is sometimes interpretated as a sign of emotional interest. In fact staring into someone's eyes is a sign of lying, and so is looking away. In certain cultures, lack of eye contact is taken as a sign of respect. If body language is to be defined, it is a combination of facial expression, gestures, eye contact, body movements and posture and voice. Frequent blinking is a sign of the person feeling distressed or uncomfortable. If the pupils are dilated, it often indicates interest, even emotional interest. The lips also reflect our body language, and lip biting indicates worry and/or anxiety; tightening of the lips may be an indication of disapproval. Slightly turned-up lips indicate happiness and slightly turned-down lips indicate sadness. |
Certainly anyone who insists on condemning all lies should think about what would happen if we could reliably tell when our family, friends, colleagues, and government leaders were deceiving us. It is tempting to think that the world would become a better place without the deceptions that seem to interfere with our attempts are genuine communication. On the other hand, perhaps there is such a thing as too much honesty. - Adapted from Allison Kornet, "The Truth About Lying"
