BAD handwriting = Famous personality ???

This is one of my old blog posts, revamped and renewed for your view in my new blog.

A new theory i put forward to this world, it is about the common trait everyone would definitely have.
Handwriting !

Even though its a modern age and people are now hardly writing on paper, we still need to learn it, its one of the basic use of our hand. be it left handed or right handed, we write our own style and it could be legible, neat and clear or the opposite being bad, scribbled and seems like a modern art.

Here's my theory,

Theory 1 : BAD handwriting = famous personality ???

" a person with bad handwriting may be destined to be a famous personality in making"

this theory applies only to males, since females usually have a neat and curvy handwriting and hardly do you find a girl who has bad handwriting. ( maybe that's why girl's hands are compared with petals !)

How did i come up with this theory ?

Interestingly, i did this research on great personalities throughout history in various fields and their hand writings, and guess what.. all these great personalities had one common thing about their hand writing, it was bad, not legible or worse like a scribbling. this handwriting trait is seen worldwide, irrespective of age and race.

Here are few samples

1.Albert Einstein , renowned scientist and a great genius ever to walk the earth...


2. Bill Gates , the richest man alive, founder of Microsoft.

3. Mahatma Gandhi, Father of the Indian nation, non violence activist

4. Adolf Hitler , a Terror during WW2 and an evil genius.






5.Beethoven, musical genius

See.. no matter if they are good, evil, scientific or artistic, their handwriting is bad, not even legible, even though i have shown only a few samples ( space constraints !!!) almost all the hand writings of the famous celebrities i could research about, showed the same trait.. for example, you can try googling the following people's hand writings - Isaac newton, Bill Clinton, Abraham Lincoln, Jawaharlal Nehru, Micheal Jackson, Sachin Tendulkar, john Lennon.
As any theory would have, there were exceptions such as Thomas Alva Edison and Leonardo da vinci ( also ambidextrous )who had very good and neat handwriting.

so i came to this conclusion, may be people out there with bad handwriting.. In future, Might become a famous personality. who knows.. so guys don't worry if u had a bad handwriting, cheer up, u might be lucky enough to become someone like the above mentioned personalities.

Why i did all these research in the first place... its because, i too have a really bad handwriting..!!!

Unconscious Fun !

I have a serious problem with hospitals and doctors. I don't know why, but I am scared of doctors and afraid to go into a hospital. although, i am very fine with injections, needles and medicines, which generally create aversion. why am not fine with doctors ? its really a mystery but i know why i hate hospitals, its because of the sanitary smell of the disinfectant. the smell makes me feel sick and fall ill even if i am healthy.

so i avoided going to hospitals or doctors from my childhood but unfortunately, i had to visit a hospital for an endoscopy procedure, in the USA of all the places. why endoscopy, that's due to my recent H.Pylori infection and a chance of stomach ulcer, which caused my health to go bad. I was not willing to go do the endoscopy due to my phobia and postponed it for quite sometime. but things became worse and i was pushed/forced into doing the procedure. so the description of the day as follows.

for those who don't know what am talking about... Endoscopy is a procedure where they send a optical tube with a camera inside your mouth through the food pipe and into the stomach and intestine to check for any abnormality in the tissues. I imagined it the whole thing and got really scared about it. the day before the procedure, i was asked to take only clear liquids such as water, soda, Gatorade etc... no solid foods and definitely no eating or drinking after midnight. unfortunately i had attended a birthday party that night,which had delicious chocolate cake and food and yes.. i couldn't have any of it. :(

the next day, a friend took me to the hospital, i finished my registration and they asked me to go into a room where the nurse checked me in. i was taken to a small section surrounded by a wall of curtains and inside it was a bed. i was asked to change into a hospital gown. the nurse made me lie on the bed and covered me with a warm blanket and then, an inflatable cuff was strapped to my left arm to record blood pressure. I was injected with a needle in right arm for the saline, a small sensor was put on my right index finger to check my oxygen rate. lying on the bed, i was feeling so scared, i felt like a seriously ill patient, going for a radical surgery. the saline started to flow through my veins and it had a burning effect initially, later it subsided and i started feeling quite sleepy. I tried being awake all the time but was not able to control it, even though i was lying on the bed for 15 minutes it seemed like hours. a doctor then came to me, introduced himself as the anesthesiologist and asked me a lot of questions for the paperwork, i answered them all in a sleepy state.

After sometime, the whole bed was pushed into a series of rooms and later into a small room where the endoscopy was supposed to take place. the room was very small and i felt like i was in an operation theater. indeed, things started happening after, made me more scared and thought i was mistaken for a surgery patient because they put an oxygen mask, told me that i was going to be given a Anesthetic to put me into sleep. a small thing with a hole was put into my mouth, so i couldn't close it. the doctor then was explaining what is going to happen and as she was explaining things, the Anesthesiologist told me he was injecting the Anesthetic and i felt a cool liquid rushing into my system. that's the last thing i remember, i went unconscious, into a bliss, no dreams, no subconscious state. the first time ever in my life i was unconscious.

I later remember someone shaking me and i woke up with a jerk, it was a nurse. i was in a new room and my friend was sitting in the place where the doctor was before. I didn't know for how long had i been sleeping. i was then given a apple juice, the doctor came and told me there were no ulcers and only stomach inflammations were found. then i was discharged after sometime, i was feeling drowsy and tired, one part of my mind was trying to remember what happened during my unconscious state but in vain. I came back home, had food and slept like a baby again for a long time.

It was one of a kind experience i had in the USA. i really admired the level of sophistication they had in the hospitals. no wonder health care is s**t expensive here. the procedure actually costs a whooping $1200 dollars without a health insurance. I am not sure, if I'd want to go to hospital again, but the experience of Anesthetic unconsciousness intrigues me a lot. i really wonder what happened, why the brain doesn't remember a single second and why no dreams.

I want to have that experience again, it was roughly two hours of the unconsciousness, but i enjoyed it without actually experiencing it. Funny Ain't it.
