A trip to Hyd

Impressive Rajiv Gandhi Airport, Shamshabad. Organized, Neat n Clean only if whole of our country is like this.


Birla Mandir, was crowded with kids from Bombay on a school trip. The innocent, carefree chatter on everything under this sky created a longing, desire to go back to those days.


Lumbini Park


Hussein Sagar Lake. A 10 mins ride in Speed boat excites a bit.


Charminar. Pearl Dive, a possibility.


Golconda Fort




View from the top.

Stairs leading to pinnacle.



Child at work at a sugarcane vendor. The mischievous smile made heart sink for incapability of mine to do any good to that poor soul.


Stopped for a glass of fresh cane juice.


One man's collection of largest artifacts, I haven't until then realized art can fluctuate my mood so much.


At Old City, all girls irrespective of age were behind veils. Tried my part a bit, will have to get used to the option of breathing within veils.


Shilparamam, crafts village. A bazaar for handicrafts and artwork.

Getting to explore Left Brained Vs Right Brained after i stumbled on this "Which way is she turning?" - http://www.readnrock.com/?p=38. Confirmed my thoughts "Mind sees how you want it to see". I see her turn clock-wise and then when I wish to see her the other way, It happened she turns anti clockwise. Got curious on this theory and took a Brain Lateralization Test.

Now I Know why I put Left Indicator and Turn right while driving, Noone can point hands at me, its in me ;-)

Brain Lateralization Test Results
Right Brain (68%) The right hemisphere is the visual, figurative, artistic, and intuitive side of the brain.
Left Brain (32%) The left hemisphere is the logical, articulate, assertive, and practical side of the brain
Are You Right or Left Brained?

Right Brain |||||||||||||||| 68%
Left Brain |||||||||| 32%


*results won't usually add up to 100% as this test measures each side seperately

Left brain dominant individuals are more orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.

Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, organization, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.

Overall you appear to be Right Brain Dominant

-----------------------------------------

According to Darwinian theory, optimal evolution takes place with random variation and selective retention. The evolution savvy individual will try many different approaches when faced with a problem and select the best of those approaches. Many historical intellectuals have confessed their advantage was simply considering/exploring/trying more approaches than others. The left brain dominant type suffers from limited approaches, narrow-mindedness. The right brain dominant type suffers from too many approaches, scatterbrained. To maintain balanced hemispheres, you need to exercise both variability and selection. Just as a company will have more chance of finding a great candidate by increasing their applicant pool, an individual who considers a wider set of options is more likely to make quality decisions.
