I eat with Left (often end up using both :D ) .
Bat and bowl with right.
Write with left.
Erase with right :D.
OF all the above :P, People are so damn fascinated by the left-hand-eating-thing ... They look as if i had suddenly sprouted the 'left' hand for eating . I mean, i didnt go around collecting statistics and all, but there are people who eat with left hand , arent they ?? Or am i the only dick on this planet who licks his left hand after a meal ?? :D
With as minimum courtesy as possible, while im busy eating, someone or the other pucca throws the million dollar question ... Which hand do you use for ... ahem ahem :P ... think u might have guessed it by now ... And you should see their faces while waiting for the answer ... totally comical ... As soon as i say 'right hand' bam goes the excitement from the faces ... i mean ... what the fuck, thats gross , how can one even expect that ... Some look astonished ~ "ayya, auna ... NIJANGANA !!! " ... Some eye me suspiciously as if i have just put on some lie to cover my 'Dark secrets" ... Some are disappointed [HOLD ON] OMG !! Astonishment and Suspicion toh i can handle, but Disappointment !! seriously ... thats the limit ... Lol !! :D
Every person who has ever fractured one of his/her arm severely must have went thru a phase like this temporarily ... the first thing that springs up in the minds of on-lookers is "Etla manage chesthado ento, papam" :P !!
Wikipedia quotes ~ "For centuries, left-handers have suffered unfair discrimination in a world designed for right-handers."
Thats serious ... whats more ... I got to learn that there is a Left-hander's-day ... On August 13th !! Amazing !
My mother has got me into the habit of using cutlery while eating early on, saved me from head-to-toe embarrassment a lot of times ... still there are instances when all the spoons and forks in the world play hide and seek with you , thats when you have to eat like an inferior ... what with all the right-handers surrounding me , i feel so insignificant and miniscule ... the majority always looks normal ... its the 'unique' thats weird :D !!
My grandma was so shocked when she first saw me eating with 'my' hand, she put a bandage to my left palm for a week ... so that i would inculcate 'proper' eating ... Imagine my discomfort ... atu thinaleka, akali apukoleka ... scylla and charbydis would've been easier to face :D ! An old lady in the mess(Longterm days) used to say "Kudi cheyyi devudichindi babu, daanthone thinali ... edama cheyyi thoti thinte paapam tagulthadi" ... Navvalo edvalo artham kadu . Now suddenly i had become a sinner ... :P
The saga of lefty-woes continues ... wonder how many more people i have yet to face ... god save me ... and finally to finish it off Ill recapitulate a joke Our zoology sir used to crack before starting the 'digestion and absorption' chapter ... "Digestion is a process that starts with the Right hand and ends with the Left" .. I used to smile, thinking ... 'Not always sir' :D:D !!
