You’ll be Amazed At How True These One Liners About India Are

A place where contradictions come together beautifully. It is chaos, but beautiful chaos. It is warm and cool, sweet and spicy, fast and slow-ALL at the same time. It is a place which can best be described by people who walk in its by-lanes, who breathe the same air as millions of other Indians and celebrate the same festivals.

Why Can't a Person Tickle Himself?

TickleEver wonder why you are unable to tickle yourself no matter how hard you try?
The answer lies at the back of the brain in an area called the cerebellum, which is involved in monitoring movements. The cerebellum can predict sensations when your own movement causes them but not when someone else does. When you try to tickle yourself, the cerebellum predicts the sensation and this prediction is used to cancel the response of other brain areas to the tickle.
