DO YOU SMILE and LAUGHDO YOU SMILE and LAUGH Your Smile, Your Laugh, Your Personality Signature By VIKRAM KARVE While I was clearing up some old papers in my bookcase, I came across some jottings in an old diary I had made more than thirty five years ago probably while sitting in my university library. I had scribbled something about types of smiles and laughter. Your smile (and your laugh) is like your signature – your very own personal imprint, like password or signal. Now I want you to to do this: Keep a mirror in front of you and practice each of the types of smiles described below, and then, HAVE A LAUGH. Don't you want to know which type of smile and laugh means what, and which suits you best...? Come on, get ready, and check it out, and tell us which type of"smiler"and"laugher"you are. TYPES OF SMILES Lip smilers– Smile only with their lips. Cheesy smilers– Smile with their teeth. Twinkle smilers– Smile and Laugh with their dancing eyes. Sweet smilers– Exercise their chubby cheeks. Wry smilers– They know something you don't. Tee-Hee smilers– Smile with their necks. Body smilers– Smile wholeheartedly with their whole body. And of course you've seen thefake,contrived smilesofforced geniality. And would someone please tell me what is the meaning of:"to smile like a Cheshire Cat"for I have never seen a cat smile but I can tell you that Dogs do smile very often... TYPES OF LAUGHTER Hearty Laughter– All heart. Belly Laughter– Body, belly and heart. Seal Laughter– Barking, high pitch, like a seal. Guffaw– Clearing one's lungs and windpipe. Giggle– silly, embarrassed laugh. Titter, Snigger, Snicker– mocking laughter. Chuckle– A quiet laugh to yourself. Chortle– Gurgling laughter. We also have aburst of laughter,rolling with laughter,horse laugh,laughing up one's sleeve(a secret somewhere), andlaughing one's head off. I am sure there are many more types of smiles and laughter, so Dear Smilers and Laughers, do tell us all you have observed and experienced. I wonder if one's personality and character is related to the way a person smiles or laughs...? Now do enjoy yourself, look around and observe how people smile and laugh, smile and laugh to yourself in the mirror, and draw your own conclusions. And then,HAVE A HEARTY LAUGH...!!! HA...HA...HA...
