Know more about the human brain

This subject never ceased to interest, amaze and fascinate me. Most of my blogs try to analyze why children, people or men and women behave the way they do. I don't want to sound too nerdy but I guess I sort, judge or try to understand at which level people are around me. I came across this amazing video which consists of a great talk on the brain, the CP in each one of us. The fact that the talker is a neuro-scientist is both impressive and fascinating to me. Her flawless performance( I prefer the word performance over talk) will win you over.

I have had the kind of disorientation which Dr.Jill describes when I woke up after being administered anesthesia, post operations.(I did have a couple of them) It is truly enlightening. Dr.Jill's talk says all those things which saints are known to have experienced. She uses the word 'Nirvana' to describe the essence of ultimate mental liberation. Kudos to her.

How 'bout a cuppa, some crackers and a blog?

Hmm...I wish life was as simple as I just made it sound. I cheat my work once in a while to visit my favorite bloggers and jot a couple of my oh-so-precious-comments to acknowledge that I've-been-there-done-that. Just in case, you are one of my blog friends and added me to your blog-roll, shelf, study-room,attic,patio,verandah,carpark,street,city,country,hemisphere, planet,galaxy,heart,mind,or any other internal or external organ this is to you: I am still reading your blogs and am looking forward to reading more about you, though I'm invisible to you now-a-days. As you can see today is code freeze day for me and all these days were spent tying some loose ends. You can see something in red and blue right? It is me trying to smile through all the work:-)

Tall, well built and goodlooking?

Flying dream machines can be like a walk on the clouds for every little boy or grown up boys.....To be a captain at 29, in a leading Indian airline with 20/20 vision and flying a fleet of planes ranging from Airbus 330-200, Boeing 777, Boeing 737-400/700/800/900 (whatever) is like a dream for most men. I know that every man would love to be a pilot for "other" reasons...but problem is she is not finding a suitable match.Yeah, my second cousin whom I met at a recent wedding is not finding a nice qualified guy. I was impressed when I met her this time-un-opinionated, with a pleasant disposition and a total daddy's pet despite all her achievements. I mean I don't think I would even listen to my dad (I didn't in real-life, because he was very chauvinistic) if I carried home a 3 lac/pm kinda salary and owned a luxury flat in Mumbai!

I wondered why she is not finding any guy(maybe her daddy dearest is not getting impressed), as they are looking out for only Indians! Perhaps Indian men find it hard to digest a woman with a high profile career... Forget careers and high profile women, most men can't sit in a car when a woman is in the driver's seat.

Bangaloreans are kind of cool with women driving cars everyday but on highways I have faced a lot of jeering and honking(when my husband wanted to relax)
I know that this could be the start of a debate, but I'm not getting into it. A man is more equipped physically but most(not all) women are on equal footing. I don't want women bloggers to criticize me about this but hey! I'm being fair and honest. I have developed male-like-abilities to do most stuff like driving, planning, reading maps, designing homes and a million other things. There are multi-taskers like me , but speaking of the average women, I don't agree that they are as good as the men are in general. I have seen at least 10 women for every one man who have caused traffic irritations in Bangalore. That explains it. The left-side of the brain is better developed in men than women. This results in men having more logic, mathematical abilities and reflexes. The women have their right side of the brain developed more which means that women have more emotions, are extremely creative, sensitive, can connect better(hence can rear children better than a man.)

A balanced individual is one who works on improving the other side of his/her brain. I worked many dog years to evolve better logic, but in the process lost some of my emotional, creative abilities. (I write less poems now, because I am less emotional now. I feel sorry for it.)
