Cry, if you must.
Scream, if you can't control anger.
Laugh without apology.
Who said hiding emotions makes you balanced?
Modern research identifies six core emotions. But centuries earlier, Bharata Muni in his text Natya Shastra had described nine fundamental emotions - Navarasas:
Love | Laughter | Sorrow |
Disgust | Wonder | Peace |
Anger | Valour | Fear |
Emotions rarely travel alone. Together, they create new experiences:
Joy + Trust = Love
Fear + Surprise = Awe
Happiness + Sadness = Nostalgia
And when emotions intensify:
Annoyance hardens into Rage.
Serenity surges into Ecstasy.
A deadpan face isn’t neutrality. It’s regulation. Sometimes, even suppression.
Micro-expressions always manage to slip out in disguises like:
Hunched shoulders, Trembling voice, Darting eyes etc.
The face performs. The body reveals.
Be honest. Do you reveal emotions?
Or are you stage-managing them?
