Brainiesssss!!!

Thinking, Reasoning, Language, Numbers, Emotions, Love, Anger, Fear, Creativity, Intuition & the list goes on...These are part & parcel of our life. Some will have more & some will have less...But people are bound to have these in their life...Have you ever thought why these happen in our life. But I did think about these...As always...What? Why? Where? How? Finally here a post in my Blog :)

I hope you would have taken this test...But take this once more...LOOK at the below image & say the COLOUR, not the word.

I know it s very difficult to say the colours. Even I was not able to identify it, but irrespective of the colours, it was damn easy to say the words...Isn't it? But why is this & whats the phenomena behind this. I think everyone knows this is because of the commander in chief in body called "The BRAIN". He send the signals to each & every part of the body & the parts acts, reacts, responds & reciprocates the same. So he is the person to be dissected to know more about him...(Ahem!!! Not like the dissection of a frog or a cockroach which we did during our Zoology classes...This is just to know more about him, A general overview ;))

You have probably heard people saying, "He follows his heart rather than his head/ brain" But technically, we can't think with our heart. That's again signals sent from the brain :) But how? 
Brain is divided into two sides or Hemisphere, Right Brain & Left Brain. Each sides is responsible for different functions & roles. Left brain is more logical & right brain is more emotional...

Hold on!!! What about Weak-Hearted or Faint-hearted??? Heart has nothing to to with thinking, emotions, feelings, love, philosophy etc...Its all about the right brain & left brain combination. The only thing that the heart does is, it receives the signals from the brain & acts accordingly. 

In ancient times, people believed that Heart was the organ responsible for emotions & feelings because they saw changes in the heart beat based on their emotions, be it happy, angry, sad, sleepy. So the belief continued & people started saying he is weak hearted, Stone-hearted, heart-broken...:) Heart is just an organ like a lungs or liver in the body which does its own work of pumping the blood throughout the body.


After reading this post don't ask me are you a geek? Because i thought it was little insane to write a post out of the blue...But still "I AM AN ENGINEER" :)
