Left handers are more creative than Right handers?

LEFT-HANDED STUDENTS WERE ONCE CONSIDERED UNIQUE DUE TO THE WAY THEY HELD THEIR PENS OR SPOONS. TODAY, THEY REGARD THEMSELVES UNIQUE AS THEY ARE ONE IN A MILLION AND SPORT A CREATIVE EDGE OVER RIGHT-HANDERS.

O h! You're a left-hander!" - this is the common reaction to any left-hander and there has always been curiosity over the different styles a left-hander adopts to write. One turns the paper 90 degrees and writes to the side and another writes with her hand over the top of the paper, bending her wrist, seemingly writing upside down, leaving others wondering how it is possible for someone to write that way.

Today, there are more left-handers in a class than there were before ."I've had people staring at my hand ever since I was a kid. First it felt good to get attention from your peers and the fact that they found you different. It's also funny when they try to copy you and write with their left hand, scrawling unrecognizable alphabets. I used to be the only left-hander in my class. Now there are more," says Akshay, a student.

It is a popular notion that left-handers tend to be more creative than their right handed counter parts. This is because they use the right side of their brain. When a person is Right Brain Dominant, they are thought of as dreamers, artists, and musicians of the world. They have their strength in different areas. They do have similar characteristics and they tend to hold similar occupations. It is not commonly known that the last three US Presidents, Ronald Reagan, George Bush and Bill Clinton, were all left-handed. Some of the people in history like Ramses II (Egyptian pharaoh), Alexander the Great, Charlemagne (Roman emperor), Julius Caesar (Roman general), Napoleon Bonaparte (French emperor) were also left handers. Our very own Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar and actress Jyothika are left-handers.

Is it possible that left-handers have a way of carving a niche for themselves in society? Brushing aside the non-availability of left-handed chairs or scissors that make everyday life a little more difficult, maybe life as a left-hander isn't so bad after all. Where else would one be "different" for simply writing with their other hand?

Mani seeks Big B’s help for Guru?

Mani Rathnam’s much awaited magnum opus Guru has been making news since the film was announced. Touted to be based on the life of Dhirubhai Ambani, a large part of the film was shot in Chennai. Now almost ready for release, the film is believed to have made the elder Ambani brother concerned.

Initial reports said that Mukesh wanted to see how Dhirubhai had been portrayed in the film, but the latest rumours are that on hearing the character which is supposedly based on Mukesh Ambani is a negative one, he reportedly approached Mani Rathnam and requested him for a private screening.

The ace director however, is believed to have refused, and is determined to keep the film under wraps till its scheduled release. Sources in the production add that anticipating trouble between the brothers, because the film is to be released by Adlabs, (an Anil Ambani owned Reliance company), Mani had approached Amitabh Bachchan to mediate and ensure that there’s no trouble. The reason for Mani’s concern is because Guru has been described as his most ambitious film to date.

Will Big B agree? “He may,” said the source, “because Abhishek has a lot riding on the film and he (Abhishek) is very close to Mani Rathnam.” Abhishek Bachchan plays the lead in the film as a young and ambitious man who makes all his dreams come true. Paired opposite him, Aishwarya Rai essays the role of Dhirubhai’s wife Kokilaben. Madhavan plays an associate of Abhishek’s and Vidya Balan is Madhavan’s love interest. The twist is that Bachchan is shown to have twin sons.

Interestingly, this is not the first time Mani Rathnam has been pressurised to screen his film in advance. Before Bombay was released, Bal Thackeray was believed to have asked Mani for a preview, but then too Mani had refused.
