Today I met a friend of mine who was shopping in a store with his little daughter. I greeted him and he introduced his daughter to me. Then I told him that his daughter looks exactly like him just to be polite. That sentence usually brings a smile in a parents face. But to my embarrassment he said that it was his step daughter and not his own. I was very embarrassed and didn’t know how to react.
Hi..came here from Kamal's blog.

Thanks Sree. Welcome to Random Thoughts.
ReplyDeleteCulture here is very diverse. Somethings that are unthinkable in India are normal here.
Ram i dont know if you gave that compliment just to make the happy. But if you had meant it, then there is a possibility of you not being wrong. There is a theory which says facial appearances are developed according to one's facial expression which in turn most of the time is influenced by the people around him/her. That means if two or more people stay together for a long time they can end up looking a lot like each other.
ReplyDeleteAccording to this theory the kid can have the features of her step dad.
Umesh,
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting theory. I have always felt that apart from genetics your facial features depend on the language you speak.
' That means if two or more people stay together for a long time they can end up looking a lot like each other'
ReplyDeleteThats a nice theory umesh.i have heard about that earlier.i guess it was meant to be said for couples who stayed long time with each other.am i right?
can you tell me from where you got the theory?i also heard people talk earlier about the subject.but non one could exactly tell from where it came?
Kamal, I dont know what the theory is called but i read it somewhere some time back. Did a google and got this link... check it out http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11346164/
ReplyDeleteAlso I personally know a couple who looks very much alike.
