SCARING THE BUFFALO
Scaring the Buffalo
It was Amritsar and I was in 4th standard in 1974 at St Francis high School on Lawrence road. Since my Father had gone on a long course so I stayed with my mother and au
nt in the outskirts of Guru Nanak Dev University . The accommodation in the university where my aunt was a reader was under construction so we had to stay in a house on hire outside for a few months. I had lot of friends there. The place was Roopmahal, a huge double storey house having two sets of dwellings : One on the first floor where my friends Jassi and Navi lived whose mom was also a reader of maths in the university and the ground floor where we lived. Their father was also in the army and posted at some other station. It was an open house which had adequate place to move around and play with high boundary walls all around it for its security. It had a huge concentric wicket gate in it from where we generally popped out to play with the friends outside. The road outside was called Dr. Surat Singh road and it terminated at the main road going to Attari towards Pakistan which was busy throughout the day. We however kept ourselves restricted to the other side on the left of our gate which went to fields after travelling about half a km. There were lot of empty plots of vacant land with bushes which has become a concrete jungle now and is full of constructed houses. As we came out of the gate to our right on the road towards the Attari road junction, two more of our friends lived there. Bitto, who lived just opposite to our house and further ahead from Bitto’s house opposite to his there lived a friend called Muthu who actually was a servant kept by one of the Landlady who was acquainted to us and he would play with us whenever we visited their house with our moms so being of the same age group our interests soon matched as a result he also joined our group. He was from south and thus spoke broken hindi which appeared funny to us. Bitto was a son of a local landlord of that area and spoke pure punjabi and nothing else except very broken hindi at times. I, Jassi and Navi were from the army backgrounds spoke hindi with each other and spent time together as we lived one above the other so we would continue to play till late nights also at times.
It was a wonderful time as I, Jassi and Navi would go to the same school in the university bus which would pick us from the Attari junction road upto which we walked as the distance was just about 300m from our house and would come back in the evenings together. Bitto studied in the famous Khalsa college which was close by about a km away and would thus go on his bicycle. We all met generally in the evenings after we returned from our school, rested ,did our homework and then went out for play. We would have a very nice time on Sundays as would start our day from dusk and carried on playing till dawn. We ventured out till lunch time after which restricted ourselves near our houses to be a call away from our mom’s voice.
Muthu was very good in showing magic tricks . He would place one matchstick in each of his hand after picking it one by one from over his upper thigh and then do Phoooooo! After which we would notice that instead of one match stick in each of his closed fist two of them would appear in one single fist. He would do another rope trick in which he aimed one end of the rope into a loop and with a speed take it across the loop which no one else could do. The best among all of them would be that he would place a bedsheet on the floor and lie down on it placing his arms in such a way that he folded himself into it and when he got up he would turn into an elephant with a moving live trunk which he moved up, down, left and right and we all would have a lot of fun. He was master in all such type of pranks and tricks. Half the time we would be requesting him to teach some of the most interesting ones and he would not .
The day was sunny and it was a holiday so it was decided that we all will venture out towards the village side and would go for a hunt too apart from having a picnic in the green fields at a spot where a tubewell was located. I had my catapult with me and so had Bittoo. We carried a bedsheet to sit down and some sandwiches with a water bottle also. We started off and proceeded towards the village . On our way we went through a small bushy forest where lot of pigeons were there whom we had planned to hit with our catapults but sensing our motives the pigeons at once flew away so we could only practice target hitting by placing some old bricks and breaking them with the stones. One by one everyone of us tried aiming the bricks till we got fed up and then planned to move ahead. It was getting hot and we increased our pace .
Soon we reached the outskirts of the village where a couple of sheds were seen under which a buffalo was tied up was having its fodder from a cemented manger having two parts, one was filled with water and the other one with the fodder which she was having it peacefully. She looked at us with her big eyeballs turned towards us guessing what the strangers were upto in a group. While we were walking an idea struck Muthu and he said,
“Abhi maja lena?”(Now shall we have some fun?)
We all looked at him guessing what idea must be hovering in his mind. Jassi also said in agreement to Muthu's idea alongwith me,
“Chal(Come)”
“Pehley wo chaddar nikalna”(First take out that bedsheet), said Muthu.
We took out the bedsheet from our bag.
Muthu wasted no time in further explaining us what he was going to do and quietly spread the bedsheet onto the ground on the soft grass and started to become elephant with a moving trunk. While getting ready for the action which he had planned he issued instructions to us to be ready to sprint if required to a safe place but we did not understand the seriousness of the matter and thought that he is just saying to gain importance as we did not anticipate any danger because of his action. He was ready and had turned into an elephant as he usually did with that bedsheet.
“Abhi maja dekhna”(Now see the fun), he said and started to move towards that buffalo who was already suspecting something fishy. She could not understand what a person covered with a bedsheet would do from such a far distance as was about more than 50 m away from us tied with a thick steel chain chewing the cud peacefully with her raised mouth.
Muthu slowly approached her and when was about 20 m from her, he started to move the trunk of the elephant with his raised arms on top of his head covered with the bed sheet. Seeing this the buffalo could not understand what had happened to a normal human being wrapped in a cloth, how the trunk was moving and she was petrified with fear. Her eyeballs bulged out and turned red in colour, her tail rose up at 90 degrees to the ground, her forelimbs widened and she bent forward trying to pull herself back to get rid of that chain in her neck. The chain was thick and strong but I could see some of its links buckling. She applied all her strength in fear to get away from there and gave repeated jerks to the chain due to which the holdfast to which the chain was tied started to loosen with each jerk. Muthu however did not stop moving the trunk of the elephant and rather started to move it more forcefully at the same time approaching her still nearer due to which the buffalo went mad with fear and behaved as if the elephant had put his feet on her. She pissed off and applied such a force that the chain got snapped and out came the complete holdfast. As she got herself freed and sprinted in the opposite direction away from us towards the village ,rather galloped like a horse with the broken chain hitting her knees while she ran. She ran at her top speed and her body waved like a ship in a storm up and down due to her heavy body. Muthu followed her for about 10 m and then took out his bedsheet, folded it quickly and ran towards us saying,
”Run!”
Meanwhile the owner of that buffalo came out of the shed due to the loud noise made by buffalo and breaking of chain from the place where he must be relaxing. As he came out he saw his buffalo galloping like a horse . He shouted at the top of his voice in the language which was best understood by her pet buffalo to stop but she would not listen to him as was petrified. Within minutes she disappeared and went away very far and was invisible. The owner of that buffalo, a farmer, also ran following her for some distance with a stick in his hand but turned back when he was convinced that she had gone too far ahead. Muthu meanwhile asked us also to disappear as we were more interested in watching the fun with curiosity.
After sometime we saw that farmer in turban wearing a vest, pyjama, with a stick in his hand returning and approaching us. Jassi said that he must be coming to sort us out and we at once ran towards our respective houses. Muthu as such had disappeared by now and was not seen anywhere. A few seconds later we could hear that villager abusing us from behind asking to stop. We also were soon running like that buffalo now fearing that the blame would come on us. I, Jassi and Navi quickly ran into our house and closed the main gate immediately locking it from inside. That villager meanwhile saw Bitto entering his house and I could see him running after him while I peeped from an opening in my gate as Bitto’s house was next to mine. Fearing that Bitto will get caught I also entered the house inside and waited along with Jassi and Navi hoping that the matter would soon settle down once that farmer leaves the area. But he would not give away so easily as he had reached Bittoo’s house and started to bang the gate of his house from outside. Fearing that before anyone else in Bittoo’s house comes to know what had happened Bittoo quietly came out and attended that person who was boiling hot with anger.
“Oh kehra munda si jehra meri majj noo dara riha si?”(Who was that boy who was scaring my buffalo?)
“Mainoo nahin pata oh kiththe rahinda hai”.(I do not know where he lives), replied Bitto
“Too jhooth bolda hai uh te tere naal si jihra sabto pahila bhajjya si”(You are telling a lie as he was with you who ran away first from there), said the farmer whose buffalo ran away in fear.
Although Bittoo knew very well that Muthu‘s house was just next door and opposite to his but just to distract him and save Muthu from getting into further trouble he walked towards the Roopmahal where we all lived. As they came and knocked our gate our heart skipped a beat as we feared danger and getting involved further . I and Navi quietly came near the gate and saw both of them standing near the gate. In order to avoid them meet our mothers and give a try to solve the problem at our level itself so that the news does not travel further into our mother’s ears I opened the door of the gate. Bittoo said to me in front of him,
“Oh yaar ainoo dassi Muthu da ghar kiththe hai. Mainoo tey pata nahin hai” (Yaar please do tell him where Muthu lives as I do not know his house). I got a shock hearing this and understood the story that Bittoo wanted to get rid of him by putting a dead snake in my neck so I also acted accordingly and said,
“Kaun Muthu main tey kisey muthu noo nahin janda ?”(Which Muthu I do not know any Muthu here)
And there started heated conversation between him and all of us. Hearing this the matter no longer remained a secret and Jassi’s mother came out. On narrating the matter to her the farmer said,
“Deko bibi ji inha mundiyan ne meri majj noo dara ke bhaja dita hai te hun mainoon oh kaley bandar vargey munday da address nahin das rahen ne. Ya tey uhda address dasson ya phir meri majj dey 3000 rupaiye pharao” (Look madam these boys have scared my buffalo and made her run away and now they are not telling me the address of that black monkey type of boy. You either tell his address or pay the cost of my buffalo of Rs 3000/-)
Everyone started to collect near our house as the matter was getting serious as the time was passing by. Jassi’s mother asked us who was it and we told her the story. She then told that farmer that his buffalo must be nearby only so he should not get worried as we will help you in this matter and now he should search Muthu ahead. She also told him that these boys will help him find Muthu. He then got a bit satisfied and said ,
“Chalo pher(Come then)”
We all took him to Muthu’s house where his landlady came out and when she heard the story she called Muthu and said,
“Vey marjaneyaa too ki sharatan karda rahenda hai (You wretch what prank you keep playing?)”
“Hum kuch nahin kiya hum to hathi hathi khel raha tha woh to apney aap bhaag gaya”(I did not do anything I was playing elephant elephant and the buffalo ran away on her own)
“Bibi mere 3000/- rupaiyee pharao ya mujj labh ke lihaoo(Madam give me my 3000 Rs or get my buffalo back), said the farmer in an angry voice.
“Khasman khaneya teri majj da asi theka liya hai uh teh dar ke bhaj gayi is wich bacheyaan da ki kasoor hai. Too ja ke apni majj labh (You wretch! Have we taken a contract to protect your buffalo who ran away in fear for which these children are being blamed unnecessarily)
Hearing the reply the farmer was spell bound as Muthu had not told her the correct and complete story but he kept quiet as the landlady was having many men with big sticks to protect her in her area so he mellowed down and said ,
“Bibi main tey garib banda haan too hi das main ki karan main teh uhda dudh bech ke hi apna ghar chalana haa “(Madam what shall I do I am a poor person as I sell her milk and run the household with it).
“Hun too banda ban ke gal kar rihan hai. Veh Muthu ! khasman khaneya! Ainoo chaa pila te ehdey naal teen char bandey hor le ja kay ihdi majj labh. Teh Marjaneya! Is ghar che tad vari jadon majj labh jaey (Now you are speaking like a gentleman.Hey Muthu! you wretch! Get him some tea and then take 3 to 4 of our men and go and search for his buffalo. And you damn ! Do not enter the house till you find his buffalo back ) she said scolding to Muthu.
“Bibi tera bahut bahut shookriya”(Madam thanks a lot) said the farmer sipping hot tea which Muthu gave him and asked advising the landlady,
“Bibi eh kala bandar kithon lihanda hai bara shaitaan hai ehnoo Madras vapis chad aaoo nahin te jina aokhaa kar dega toohada”(Madam from where have you brought this black monkey ? He is very naughty so send him back to Madras otherwise he will make life hell for you)
“Too apni majj noo saambh ke rakh jihari kale bandar to hi darr gayee hai teh ihda khayal main rakh lavaangey”(You take care of your buffalo who fears black monkeys .I’ll take care of him ) replied the landlady possessively.
The farmer then left and soon his buffalo was back after a lot of search as she had fled to the adjacent village and was returned soon by someone from that village.
The next day when Muthu met us he said,
“Oos din hum bola tha ki woh darr jayegi tum log manta nahin tha”(I told you that day that the buffalo will get scared but you did not agree)”
We then onwards took his words seriously and did not question him further as he was an experienced prankster. We learnt many tricks of magic from him with great effort as he would not tell us so easily. He was indeed a master in it and those tricks I still share with my friends in party or when we have fun in a gathering . The reminiscences of my sweet friend Muthu whom I had met 36 years back are indeed fresh and beautiful which I cherish them even today .

“Pehley wo chaddar nikalna”(First take out that bedsheet), said Muthu.
We took out the bedsheet from our bag.
Muthu wasted no time in further explaining us what he was going to do and quietly spread the bedsheet onto the ground on the soft grass and started to become elephant with a moving trunk. While getting ready for the action which he had planned he issued instructions to us to be ready to sprint if required to a safe place but we did not understand the seriousness of the matter and thought that he is just saying to gain importance as we did not anticipate any danger because of his action. He was ready and had turned into an elephant as he usually did with that bedsheet.
“Abhi maja dekhna”(Now see the fun), he said and started to move towards that buffalo who was already suspecting something fishy. She could not understand what a person covered with a bedsheet would do from such a far distance as was about more than 50 m away from us tied with a thick steel chain chewing the cud peacefully with her raised mouth.
Muthu slowly approached her and when was about 20 m from her, he started to move the trunk of the elephant with his raised arms on top of his head covered with the bed sheet. Seeing this the buffalo could not understand what had happened to a normal human being wrapped in a cloth, how the trunk was moving and she was petrified with fear. Her eyeballs bulged out and turned red in colour, her tail rose up at 90 degrees to the ground, her forelimbs widened and she bent forward trying to pull herself back to get rid of that chain in her neck. The chain was thick and strong but I could see some of its links buckling. She applied all her strength in fear to get away from there and gave repeated jerks to the chain due to which the holdfast to which the chain was tied started to loosen with each jerk. Muthu however did not stop moving the trunk of the elephant and rather started to move it more forcefully at the same time approaching her still nearer due to which the buffalo went mad with fear and behaved as if the elephant had put his feet on her. She pissed off and applied such a force that the chain got snapped and out came the complete holdfast. As she got herself freed and sprinted in the opposite direction away from us towards the village ,rather galloped like a horse with the broken chain hitting her knees while she ran. She ran at her top speed and her body waved like a ship in a storm up and down due to her heavy body. Muthu followed her for about 10 m and then took out his bedsheet, folded it quickly and ran towards us saying,
”Run!”
Meanwhile the owner of that buffalo came out of the shed due to the loud noise made by buffalo and breaking of chain from the place where he must be relaxing. As he came out he saw his buffalo galloping like a horse . He shouted at the top of his voice in the language which was best understood by her pet buffalo to stop but she would not listen to him as was petrified. Within minutes she disappeared and went away very far and was invisible. The owner of that buffalo, a farmer, also ran following her for some distance with a stick in his hand but turned back when he was convinced that she had gone too far ahead. Muthu meanwhile asked us also to disappear as we were more interested in watching the fun with curiosity.
After sometime we saw that farmer in turban wearing a vest, pyjama, with a stick in his hand returning and approaching us. Jassi said that he must be coming to sort us out and we at once ran towards our respective houses. Muthu as such had disappeared by now and was not seen anywhere. A few seconds later we could hear that villager abusing us from behind asking to stop. We also were soon running like that buffalo now fearing that the blame would come on us. I, Jassi and Navi quickly ran into our house and closed the main gate immediately locking it from inside. That villager meanwhile saw Bitto entering his house and I could see him running after him while I peeped from an opening in my gate as Bitto’s house was next to mine. Fearing that Bitto will get caught I also entered the house inside and waited along with Jassi and Navi hoping that the matter would soon settle down once that farmer leaves the area. But he would not give away so easily as he had reached Bittoo’s house and started to bang the gate of his house from outside. Fearing that before anyone else in Bittoo’s house comes to know what had happened Bittoo quietly came out and attended that person who was boiling hot with anger.
“Oh kehra munda si jehra meri majj noo dara riha si?”(Who was that boy who was scaring my buffalo?)
“Mainoo nahin pata oh kiththe rahinda hai”.(I do not know where he lives), replied Bitto
“Too jhooth bolda hai uh te tere naal si jihra sabto pahila bhajjya si”(You are telling a lie as he was with you who ran away first from there), said the farmer whose buffalo ran away in fear.
Although Bittoo knew very well that Muthu‘s house was just next door and opposite to his but just to distract him and save Muthu from getting into further trouble he walked towards the Roopmahal where we all lived. As they came and knocked our gate our heart skipped a beat as we feared danger and getting involved further . I and Navi quietly came near the gate and saw both of them standing near the gate. In order to avoid them meet our mothers and give a try to solve the problem at our level itself so that the news does not travel further into our mother’s ears I opened the door of the gate. Bittoo said to me in front of him,
“Oh yaar ainoo dassi Muthu da ghar kiththe hai. Mainoo tey pata nahin hai” (Yaar please do tell him where Muthu lives as I do not know his house). I got a shock hearing this and understood the story that Bittoo wanted to get rid of him by putting a dead snake in my neck so I also acted accordingly and said,
“Kaun Muthu main tey kisey muthu noo nahin janda ?”(Which Muthu I do not know any Muthu here)
And there started heated conversation between him and all of us. Hearing this the matter no longer remained a secret and Jassi’s mother came out. On narrating the matter to her the farmer said,
“Deko bibi ji inha mundiyan ne meri majj noo dara ke bhaja dita hai te hun mainoon oh kaley bandar vargey munday da address nahin das rahen ne. Ya tey uhda address dasson ya phir meri majj dey 3000 rupaiye pharao” (Look madam these boys have scared my buffalo and made her run away and now they are not telling me the address of that black monkey type of boy. You either tell his address or pay the cost of my buffalo of Rs 3000/-)
Everyone started to collect near our house as the matter was getting serious as the time was passing by. Jassi’s mother asked us who was it and we told her the story. She then told that farmer that his buffalo must be nearby only so he should not get worried as we will help you in this matter and now he should search Muthu ahead. She also told him that these boys will help him find Muthu. He then got a bit satisfied and said ,
“Chalo pher(Come then)”
We all took him to Muthu’s house where his landlady came out and when she heard the story she called Muthu and said,
“Vey marjaneyaa too ki sharatan karda rahenda hai (You wretch what prank you keep playing?)”
“Hum kuch nahin kiya hum to hathi hathi khel raha tha woh to apney aap bhaag gaya”(I did not do anything I was playing elephant elephant and the buffalo ran away on her own)
“Bibi mere 3000/- rupaiyee pharao ya mujj labh ke lihaoo(Madam give me my 3000 Rs or get my buffalo back), said the farmer in an angry voice.
“Khasman khaneya teri majj da asi theka liya hai uh teh dar ke bhaj gayi is wich bacheyaan da ki kasoor hai. Too ja ke apni majj labh (You wretch! Have we taken a contract to protect your buffalo who ran away in fear for which these children are being blamed unnecessarily)
Hearing the reply the farmer was spell bound as Muthu had not told her the correct and complete story but he kept quiet as the landlady was having many men with big sticks to protect her in her area so he mellowed down and said ,
“Bibi main tey garib banda haan too hi das main ki karan main teh uhda dudh bech ke hi apna ghar chalana haa “(Madam what shall I do I am a poor person as I sell her milk and run the household with it).
“Hun too banda ban ke gal kar rihan hai. Veh Muthu ! khasman khaneya! Ainoo chaa pila te ehdey naal teen char bandey hor le ja kay ihdi majj labh. Teh Marjaneya! Is ghar che tad vari jadon majj labh jaey (Now you are speaking like a gentleman.Hey Muthu! you wretch! Get him some tea and then take 3 to 4 of our men and go and search for his buffalo. And you damn ! Do not enter the house till you find his buffalo back ) she said scolding to Muthu.
“Bibi tera bahut bahut shookriya”(Madam thanks a lot) said the farmer sipping hot tea which Muthu gave him and asked advising the landlady,
“Bibi eh kala bandar kithon lihanda hai bara shaitaan hai ehnoo Madras vapis chad aaoo nahin te jina aokhaa kar dega toohada”(Madam from where have you brought this black monkey ? He is very naughty so send him back to Madras otherwise he will make life hell for you)
“Too apni majj noo saambh ke rakh jihari kale bandar to hi darr gayee hai teh ihda khayal main rakh lavaangey”(You take care of your buffalo who fears black monkeys .I’ll take care of him ) replied the landlady possessively.
The farmer then left and soon his buffalo was back after a lot of search as she had fled to the adjacent village and was returned soon by someone from that village.
The next day when Muthu met us he said,
“Oos din hum bola tha ki woh darr jayegi tum log manta nahin tha”(I told you that day that the buffalo will get scared but you did not agree)”
We then onwards took his words seriously and did not question him further as he was an experienced prankster. We learnt many tricks of magic from him with great effort as he would not tell us so easily. He was indeed a master in it and those tricks I still share with my friends in party or when we have fun in a gathering . The reminiscences of my sweet friend Muthu whom I had met 36 years back are indeed fresh and beautiful which I cherish them even today .

Studying a Stranger
Studying a stranger
Hello! Hello! Hello! A voice was heard on the telephone and the receiver was then dropped after that, the reason : there must be some technical problem in system due to which the replier’s voice was unable to reach the caller. Out of this single word hello how much do you think are you able to interpret about the information of the caller ? If you analyse sitting all that an average human mind can interpret you will be astonished. See how the human mind works and collects the following information which you can also do it. The results would be generally 80% correct.
The caller was a male
He was an Asian and most probably an Indian
His age must be above 30 as interpreted from his level of confidence he spoke with.
He was an educated person as evident from his mannerisms exhibited including his tone.
He was patient as the gap between his three Hellos was adequate
He appeared confident from his tone and deep voice.
Since he rang up at 0930 h he must be a service person as shops of businessman open at /after 1030 in our country
Since he rang at 0930 he must have come to office before 0930 say at 0900 so that after going through the files or his work schedule he must have planned to ring you up . He is thus punctual
If he is punctual he is disciplined
If he is disciplined he must be disciplined in other things as well
So he is an organised man
If he is organised his upbringing must have been very good
So most probably he must be good in his nature too.
We can keep deducing like this as long as our mind gets satisfied. This is what we interpreted from just from one word ; hello, without actually seeing the person or discussing anything with him.
Now imagine the deductions a human mind can make if you actually meet a stranger, chat with him for 10 minutes and then say bye to him.
Enormous!
I know you would agree but we just ignore it by actually not doing it considering it to be a sheer wastage of time. A person who does it for the first time would take hours or maybe a day analysing the stranger since there would be 1000 questions arising in the mind after a chat with him . When you do this for the second time, trust me, it will definitely take lesser time than before and maybe you would add up a few more new questions to your previous questionnaire in your mind. And when you do it for the third time it will be much lesser till the time you reach a stage that you will be able to analyse it within minutes. After you expertise yourself in this field it would take a fraction of second for you to analyse a person and deal with him accordingly. The palmists and the horoscope readers are expert in this and they rely more on this evaluation by analysis than their own studies which most of them use to confuse you for earning their bread. If their studies would have been so accurate and true then why would their predictions go wrong? So trust your own self and not a stranger’s advice.
Following are the few factors which have to be noticed with concern as it would help you analyse the character later on.
Physical attributes
Face, forehead, distance between eyes, origin of nose, length of nose, lips, cheeks, size of chin, neck, size of ears, shoulders, chest, arms, hands, size of fingers, width of palm, leg length, size of feet and its positioning etc.
Facial expessions while talking
Smiling, raising of eyebrows while talking, moving of hands while talking, exposure of palms etc.
Tone of speech
High, medium, low, speed of speaking etc.
Mannerisms
Usage of words like excuse me, thanks, sorry, etc, offering you seat to sit, showing respect to age, ladies etc, usage of good words and non abusive language
Contents of his speech
Speaks clearly, no beating around the bush, pragmatic approach or otherwise, usage of flattery, how fast he comes straight to the point, humour content usage
Dress up
Colours of his dress, quality of cloth, watch he wears (branded or otherwise), use of cosmetics, fragrance, width of his belt, shoes quality and its maintenance, any ornament he wears etc.
The list is very long so I have restricted to the main factors only.
Enthusiasm exhibited, interest shown in you, power of convincing and a warm approach are other factors which you can notice at the first instance in 10 minutes.
Now we shall discuss the important ones out of these which would make you understand how to analyse the remaining ones also.
In the physical attributes the people who have broad forehead are intelligent while those with small foreheads are generally born idiots and do not have pragmatic approach in life.
Those with less distance between their eyes are cruel as the distance between their eyes is inversely proportional to degree of cruelty.
Long nosed people are good and cannot be easily fooled
Thin lipped are attractive to opposite sex and smart
Big ears are very intelligent people
Big chinned are sportsmen and strong physically.
Pointed fingers are artistic and hence good painters, small fingers are treacherous, medium fingers are the best adjusted in the society
Large palms of square shape are big hearted and humble people
Large feet are tall people and the height is generally 6.5 times the length of the foot.
The people who exhibit the facial expressions as follows are graded accordingly. Those who raise their eyebrows quiet frequently while talking are the types who would make sure that they have explained their point of view well and hence have good power of expression and have clear minds but cannot hide any secret with them hence do not divulge your secrets to them as they can put you in trouble inadvertently. The more a person exposes his palms the more truthful he is which you will notice it generally in villagers. Those who do not express any expression are dangerous and unpredictable so beware from them.
The tone of speech indicates the place from where one hails which you will be able to judge your own self. Those who speak clear think clear and those who fumble have wavering minds. Those who give a pause while speaking think before they speak and thus have better control over their actions and care for others. Those who speak fast think fast and expect fast results hence are impatient. They are more likely to take wrong decisions so should be given less information and in a slow manner.
Mannerism play a very important role in indicating the background and the upbringing of the person. Those who exhibit it are dealt with accordingly by the people. They hail from an educated background and have a status. Those who do not are generally from the low business family backgrounds. The fairer sex generally exhibits more mannerism even if they are less educated comparatively. The ones exhibiting more mannerism would be generally from a metro city where the population and interaction amongst them is more.
Humour keeps you away from tension and those who use it quiet frequently are able to deal with the difficult situations with ease. They would be healthier and on a heavier side with easy going life. They would keep the environment also healthy with love and affection. People who speak too sweetly are not good and would turn their faces in times of need or as soon as their work is over. It is better to hear harsh words from a truthful man than sweet words from a dishonest person. They would always occupy position around you and prevent the correct person to approach you. Do not give leverage to their points and they will get aside automatically.
Dress up also shows the background and the environment from where one has come up. A person of good status will not wear flashy clothes, will use branded items of standard companies, will wear a dress well maintained and ironed. He will use cosmetics giving fragrance if he is from a high status, use of gold rings, bracelets and chain in fingers is another indication of high status.
The views expressed above are purely an independent thought as experienced by the writer and can be taken in general however exceptions are always there.
