while and take rest after spending long hours reading for exams. While walking to their cottage, Ramya fainted and fell down unconscious.

 

The Production Manager much worried about the schedules told her bluntly to go home. “No one here has the time to take you and leave at home. If you are sick why did you come here? I will let you know tomorrow.” He threw a hundred rupee note at her and asked her to leave the place.

 

Vanaja not worried about her heavy make-up took her in an auto and helped her to sit comfortably in the bus. She requested Vel to help her take an auto once she reached her place. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise for Vel to see Ramya there.

 

“Are you not well?” Ramya nodded.

 

When the bus left Mahabalipuram after ten minutes, Vel could not hide his excitement. He wanted to make use of that precious forty minutes and know more about Ramya. Frail looking Ramya evoked pity and he could not control the sudden urge to embrace and comfort her. Looking at Vanaja he understood she has been there for a commercial film shooting. Most of the time during his official trips to Mahabalipuram, he had watched many shootings going on. Initially he was also much interested in joining the crowd to see the film actors and others. But gradually he lost interest as he was mostly there officially.

 

Sometimes he came across dance rehearsals at noon on the hot sands of the sea shore. He always felt pity for those dancers who danced on the hot sand without wearing any shoes or slippers.   Once he watched some female dancers applying coconut oil to cool off their burned feet.   He wanted to ask Ramya why she was there at that time and what connection she had with the commercial film shooting.   A sense of possessiveness took him over and he wanted to wake up Ramya and ask her what made her come there.

 

Till they reached the terminus, Ramya did not wake up from her sleep. She wanted to keep herself awake but she could not control. If she had danced in that schedule she would have got five thousand rupees which would have solved most of the financial problems at home. She took a month break from dancing as she wanted to clear her exams in the first instance. To enable the month long break without any financial problems, she saved some money at the bank. That money helped her to stay at peace and focus on studying for her exams.

 

Ramya planned to take rest at least for a week after her exams. But when they asked for her availability in the upcoming schedule, she immediately accepted it. The next schedule will start only a week later and she could not avoid feeling bad about it.

 

“Hmm, what to do, I need to be at home for another week” Thoughts went wild and made her feel tired at heart.

 

“Will some miracle happen to save our family from these misfortunes?” Ramya questioned. Now not well, with her health condition frail, she felt lost and could not control her tears. With her eyes closed, tears rolled down on her cheeks.

The morning breeze dried them away quickly, yet Vel didn't miss those tears. He wanted to ask her what pained her heart and tell her he was there to comfort her. A sudden urge to help her feel lighter made him also feel lost at heart for a while.

 

As promised to Vanaja, Vel helped her to get into an auto and reach home safely.

 

Ramya feebly thanked him and left the place even without looking at his face.

 

For the first three days of the week, Ramya spent her time mostly sleeping. Her mother prepared nutritious food to nourish her and bring her back to normal health. On the fourth day, she felt normal and helped her mother in the kitchen.

 

“Hi, Ramya, How are you?” Vanaja called her around 8 pm in the night.

 

“I am good akka. How are you? Where are you now?” Ramya sounded normal.

 

“Here in Chennai only. Next week we have a schedule once again at a resort near ECR. Can you join us”?

 

“I am waiting to join you all.” Ramya felt relieved and happy. Dancing again will definitely bring her spirits back and it will help her to feel better.

 

Ten minutes later she got a call from her friend Divya who wrote exams along with her at the University.

 

“Ramya, how are you? I heard you were not well.”

 

“Now I am ok now Divya. What is the news?” Ramya asked.

 

“Tomorrow we are all going for an interview at a new TV channel. Are you interested?” She enquired.

 

Ramya immediately agreed for it would be great to enjoy their time together after writing their exams. It turned out to be a celebration of their successful completion of the course. At the end of the day to her surprise, Ramya got the appointment letter that appointed her as the Junior Program Executive. Divya also got a position in the administrative wing and both of them felt good for they will be working together and they can see each other every day.

 

While they were returning home, they could not stop giggling. Ramya felt so happy that she never expected such a change to happen so soon in life. Though she loved to dance, her father didn't want her to be in commercial films. Dancing in films also required talent and grace, yet the society did not give them their credit. People never stopped talking behind them and pass unnecessary remarks. The lifestyle of dancers was always queried for most of them had a struggling career and the severe competition lead to back stabbing and cheating. You can never believe the person next to you for anyone could turn against you and make you suffer at your own cost.

 

But she still had fond memories of being a dancer. She remembered the day when she participated in a reputed program in one of the television channels. The appearance at programs brought her numerous opportunities to dance as a child artist in films. As she was the youngest in the team, everyone protected her as their own sibling and she never felt anything different other than being at home with her parents. Her father decided not to allow her to appear in films when she entered her teens. Unfortunately her father met with a severe accident that left him bed ridden for months. Her mother could not opt for any work as he needed her constant attention. Unwillingly he allowed her to take up all assignments that came in her way. She never stopped going to school and her father was particular that she did not mess up her education with the dancing career.

 

Every day until she came back from any shooting schedule, he was restless and after she reached home he pestered her with too many questions to assure her safety and find out if anyone misbehaved with her. Initially she felt irritated to hear the same questions again and again every day. One day when one of her fellow dancers explained her why he enquired so, she promised herself that she will never go astray.

 

 

Love heart

It has been more than six months Ramya started to work as a Junior Program Executive. This designation brought her recognition and happiness in her life. Having been a dancer, she could understand the nuances of dance and she played a major role in organizing dancing events for children and young adults.

 

As a dancer she knew to express different emotions expressively. She did not fail to watch Vel and see how his face beamed with happiness whenever she boarded the bus.   Her heart also understood the love signals from Vel. But Divya always teased her and she enjoyed watching the silent exchange of emotions between them.

 

“How he flirts with young girls in the bus!” Divya teasingly exclaimed at Vel.

 

Ramya frowned at her. “Will you stop talking like this?”

 

Divya grinned. “Today only I read an article on body language. I think I can cross verify with him if they are true.”

 

“Please stop now. Otherwise.” Ramya pinched Divya.

 

“Ouch. What is this” Divya screamed. Vel turned and looked at their friendly squabble. Ramya blushed and looked away through the window.

Body language refers to the nonverbal signals that we use to communicate. According to experts, these nonverbal signals make up a huge part of daily communication. From our facial expressions to our body movements, the things we don't say can still convey volumes of information. According to various researchers, body language is thought to account for between 50 to 70 percent of all communication. Understanding body language is important, but it is also essential to remember to note other cues such as context and to look at signals as a group rather than focusing on a single action. Learn more about some of the things to look for when you are trying to interpret body language.

Facial expressions are also among the most universal forms of body language. The expressions used to convey fear, anger, sadness, and happiness are similar throughout the world. Researcher Paul Ekman has found support for the universality of a variety of facial expressions tied to particular emotions including joy, anger, fear, surprise, and sadness.

The eyes are frequently referred to as the "windows to the soul" since they are capable of revealing a great deal about what a person if feeling or thinking. As you engage in conversation with another person, taking note of eye movements is a natural and important part of the communication process. Some common things you may note is whether people are making direct eye contact or averting their gaze, how much they are blinking, or if their pupils are dilated.

When evaluating body language, pay attention to the follow eye signals:

Eye gaze When a person looks directly into your eyes when having a conversion, it indicates that they are interested and paying attention. However, prolonged eye contact can feel threatening. On the other hand, breaking eye contact and frequently looking away may indicate that the person is distracted, uncomfortable, or trying to conceal his or her real feelings. How To Flirt With Your Eyes Holding eye contact with someone you find appealing for approximately five seconds is well-used flirt tactic, mostly because it is highly effective, although its ease and simplicity of use doesn't hurt. According to the book, "The Definitive Guide of Body Language," by Alan and Barbara Pease, the person initiating the flirt will - on average - need to lock eyes three times before the flirt recipient catches on. Blinking Blinking is natural, but you should also pay attention to whether a person is blinking too much or too little. People often blink more rapidly when they are feeling distressed or uncomfortable. Infrequent blinking may indicate that a person is intentionally trying to control his or her eye movements. For example, a poker player might blink less frequently because he is purposely trying to appear unexcited about the hand he was dealt. Pupil size One of the most subtle cues that eyes provide is through the size of the pupils. While light levels in the environment control pupil dilation, sometimes emotions can also cause small changes in pupil size. For example,
