Today is Left-handers Day. It started in 1976 when Left Handers International started celebrating August 13 as Left-Handers Day. It is estimated that 15% of world's population is left handed.
As a Southpaw only advantage I find is giving a butterfly to an aggressive driver on the road,other than that I find Lefties to be on the loosing side of ergonomics.
No one knows for sure why some people are left handers.A theory suggesting some link to the mystery is the brain being "cross-wired." The left hemisphere controls the right-handed side of the body and vice-versa. And hand dominance is connected with brain dominance on the opposite side. Which is why one is correct while saying that only left-handers are in their right minds!
Mensa,the elite club with people with high IQ score as its member,reports nearly 20 per cent of its members being left-handed.
As far as I am concerned I just feel right in the clubs of lefties.The club graced by Mahatma Gandhi to Queen Elizabeth,Bill Gates to Bill Clinton,Julia Roberts to Nicole Kidman,Babe Ruth to Ayrton Senna,Sourav Ganguly to Gary Sobers,Amitabh Bachan to Abhishek Bachan,Henry Ford to Gerald Ford,David Letterman to Jay Leno ..and did I mention Jack the Ripper......the list goes on and on ....I'm just happy to type it with both hands.
