The first glance

First glance..... yeah, that very first glance that you take when looking at something, someone or some place.... I mean practically anything, what really does go on your mind?

It's like that first thought that ran through your mind after absorbing and coming to a conclusion on how you interpret what you have JUST SEEN!

It's amazing, yeah? It's the first impressions you give that matter... that is what is always drummed in our minds repeatedly. In whatever successful venture that you want to undertake, you are always told to first and foremost look at yourself. What do you see? What do you want? Is what your seeing, what you want to reflect about you? How do those close to you see you? What is their impression and view(s) about you? This is where the 'Show me an honest man and I'll show you a liar...'

First glance... the mysteries of it.

From the human inception when in still the mother's womb, the worries and anxiety of the 'Bun in the oven' being visible and people congratulating you upon noticing any slight changes in you. Be it in behaviour (mannerisms and mood-swings), eating habits, physical appearance and many other changes that people with an eye for detail get at a first glance at you, to throughout the pregnancy period and finally conception. The birth of the newly born baby evokes alot of emotions upon the first glance of it.

Oooh.... my very own flesh and blood. Wow! The miracles of God and nature. Or is biology? Hmm... Yeah, you get my point. The new parents are anxious to get the FIRST glimse of their own biological and heavenly mystery. Upon the first glance, there and then, the random thoughts start...

... Oooh... she/he has your eyes, no, your lips, your nose,...look at the hands, oh my, have you seen the feet?... the list is endless, so as the compliments about the new-born baby. The relatives and friends who come to congratulate you, they too have their endless complimentaries and well wishes upon the first glance they have at the new-born baby.
