Aishani Dubey’s The Constant Smile Of Your Varying Mask takes readers into an intriguing mystery through the eyes of two high school girls, Alisa and Marya, whose curiosity leads them on an unusual mission to uncover the true identity of their neighbour and friend, Virick.
At first, Virick appears to be an ordinary, sweet boy. But as the girls observe him more closely, his eccentric behaviour, strange reactions, mysterious background, and growing interest in their school begin to raise questions. What starts as an innocent investigation gradually becomes a serious quest to understand who Virick really is. Behind their seemingly foolish behaviour lies a sharp and observant mind, allowing Alisa and Marya to piece together clues and question every new discovery.
The title reflects the mystery at the heart of the story—Virick seems to wear different “masks” as new evidence reveals different sides of his personality. Yet through every change, one thing remains constant: his beautiful smile.
