How to Detect a Lie

Image
There are theories and practical experimentation that has been performed as a part of evolution of science & psychology to give various arguments and reasons of humans lying. But is saying the truth always is safest ? That's something you must ponder over. It starts from the very beginning when we were small kids. As kids, we are part of learning by doing or seeing someone do that we explore other parts of human behavior – which is to hide the reality and project a disguised and fake picture/story to others. Since most of our interactions are with siblings and parents at home or friends at school, we experiment these with them. My father has this out-of-the-world way to detect if any of my brother or I was lying. He takes his fingers and holds our ears such that the fingers touch the outer edges of the ears. See the image for illustration. About this method, he believed that when a person is lying, there are changes in temperature of our body. Since ...

My Experiment With Fire

Image
Unlike Mahatma Gandhiji, who took several years of learning and experimenting with the ‘truth’, I look only a few days of my life for ‘my experiment with fire’. Let us see how and what all happened. Thanks to my father’s transferable job that took us to a small city in Madhya Pradesh. Location: Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh Year: 1994 Life was slow there and those times were like that too I believe. We had time for everything. My school was hardly 5 minutes walk from my house.  It was winter of that year, may be month of November, and the nights had started to turn chilly. Nobody likes leaving the warmth from the bed, to go out in such a chilly morning. But, we had the school to attend. So we had to leave the comfort in such cold mornings, to prepare for the daily school. After my mother prepared the Tiffin, she would accompany me and my younger brother to school. Sometimes, my younger brother, ( 3 years old at that time ) would cry and refuse to enter the scho...
