We all observe people at all stages of life everywhere: at home, at bus stops, railroad stations, and markets. By watching others almost every time, we learn a lot about them and eventually about ourselves. At times we register a mental note of a certain gesture in our minds; we wonder where the gesture originated, but seldom do we make an attempt to go beyond that. We feel differently in different companionships, and our feelings change accordingly, but we don't know why. For instance, we say, "I feel relaxed in the company of Mr. Malhotra'' or '' I feel uncomfortable in Mrs.Laxmi's house." If only we get a bit curious, we can learn how feelings are aroused and how and why we act the way we do.

Just a few years ago, an exciting science was uncovered and explored. It was called BODY LANGUAGE. Both its written form and scientific study have been labelled as KINESICS. It is based on the behavioural pattern of non-verbal communication. Each person develops a special behavioural pattern. If we study his behaviour clearly, we can understand him better in our next encounter. It is also possible to see beyond the surface of the event when he meets or interacts. By learning body language, a keen observer can use his knowledge to transform a boring conversation into an interesting one. The primary goal is to come to a deeper understanding of human interactions and the remarkable predictability of human behaviour.
