The brain is a funny thing

A badly timed Happy Diwali!!
This diwali I spent more time with my friends than my family. I went to Sarasbaug with my friends at 5:30 in the morning. I was the first one to rise up in the household. *pats back*
Here are some of the pictures.

My situation at home is a bit different to my liking. My mum is at home ALL THE TIME now, leaving me no time alone. I need to spend some time alone otherwise I'm afraid people will drive me insane. I'm not barking at humanity or whining "leave me aloooooone"; I just like to keep some time to myself. There she is, keeping check of everything I'm doing everysingle nano second of the day and I just need to get away from that. My grandpa's here now, so he provides the comic relief on the dining table with his witty stories and experiences. He's a hero, truly. I'm used to coming home tired, watching TV and my parents turn up after 3-4 hours.
And now, everywhere I go she's there.
I don't adjust to change very easily, I'm in a transit mode now.

I need to study my ass off. So far, I haven't done anything substantial. With my practical exams nearing, I'm hoping I'll pull myself to together and hit the books. Please, please, oh God, if you're out there (or not) sent a nice lady for the orals. I'm a nervous kid and those snarky cruel ones make me even more nervous.

Now what I am going to explain, is the most amazing thing I've seen in recent times. I came across this a few months ago and I just forgot to post about it. Take a moment out of your crummy lives and stare at the image below. (Open the image in a new window. Blogger is a bitch and doesn't show animations).

Which way does she rotate?
Clockwise: It means you use more of the right side of your brain.
Counter clockwise: You use more of the left side of your brain.

But for my friend, it's anti-clockwise. If I concentrate enough, I can make it move anti clockwise. It took me hours to get it done. I wasted a good portion of my day on this. Another trick works too. If your move your leg or finger anticlockwise, the girl moves that way too.
I can also make it stop or go slower.
I'm really intrigued how the person came up with this.

This was originally taken from here.

This kept me glued for the day, more than Ian Holloway's crazy ramblings. (That man is such a loveable nutter. ^_^ )

Now my mum's yelling and calling me to dinner.
must-keep-calm.
