What happen when someone forget your face.....

This issue seems to be really interesting... Have you ever thought of this? pretty nice experience..... 
early in the morning (??)  you wake up as usual and started doing all your daily routine... You didn't notice anything much which attracts your interest. you put on your dress and then you found that you have ample amount of time with you. So you thought of walking down the street so that you can catch the bus from the stop before your regular one. You are enjoying walking during that morning and for the first time you notice the due drops on the leaves and the the beauty of the flowers just blossomed. Slowly you will think that you have missed a lot of things in the world. the beauty of the street, the sadness in the sunset the cold rainy days, our first love, your mom,s caresses, your affection towards your dad... so on and so forth.... you slow down and stared thinking of these things... You might wonder how lucky you are...
You slowly woke up from the dream... you looked around and try to locate where you have reached. Yes you know that place. Its very familiar to you. May be there is a famous bakers nearby or a petrol bunk, a bank an ATM or your childhood friend's home who have left your place since his/her father got a transfer to Simla/Banglore/Hydrabad/Trivandrum.... So the place is similar to you. you have walked through this place many times. once you might have even fallen there with your bicycle at your initial stages... So everything is safe and secure...

But at that point of time you never realise the fact that the 'WHOLE' world (including you) have forgotten your face.

Here comes Appu mama. Your best friend's uncle. you smiled at him. but no he didn't noticed that. You know him, almost all of his life he have been dreaming about his lost wealth, taken away by his greedy brother. Now its time for Clara your junior, walking pretty fast. She also didn't care you. Exam season is up. She is in a hurry to her Mathematics tuition. Quite natural. Then Ravi uncle on his old scooter... never mind he is on his scooter. He have to concentrate. Slowly you starts to think "what the hell is this i have hell lot of time with me and what is this? nobody cares...?" Nobody; not even your neighbour smiles back at you. That means that you couldn't find even a single face who is smiling at you... Terrible.
You will start to think about the last time when you walked through this street. You talked to the person standing in front of the Bakers, the person who used to fill petrol at the bunk, you told them about your distinction in the exam or about the cricket match you won or about the dance program you participated the day before that... then when you reached the bank you looked at the glass wall which looked like a mirror. you looked at it with pride. You said to yourself "hei look at this boy/girl. he/she have done it. look at that face...  ...  ..." but... but suddenly you realised that you couldn't remember how your face looked like that day. you will try hard. No use. what is it... its a regular stuff. we sometimes forget our face. that too was some couple of months back any way. "I have looked at the mirror even today and i know then there was a .... ... errr.. "how did i look like today morning. Oh my god i couldn't stand this any more. But yesterday i wore an orange dress and then i looked at the mirror and then... ... ..." it goes on... you are not able to remember you face. that is it. you will become tensed. you will look around to look into a mirror. no but there is no mirror around. the bus has come. "Oh god, how does my face look like." You know its colour either dark or tan or white or something like that. but how does it look like. you cannot spot a mirror in the bus. 
you reached your destination and there you find i don't know whom but someone familiar to you... but he also is not smiling back at you. You will become tensed. None is smiling at you. Then then you realise the fact that they have forgotten your face. Yes, all have forgotten your face including you.
