It seems the difference between “Chatty Cathy” and “Silent Steve” has just grown thinner.In past plenty of survey findings suggested that Women talk more than men, in fact Women talk three times as much as men with the average woman chalking up 20,000 words in a day - 13,000 more than the average man.Underlying reason behind that - Men Are Computers Women Are Cell Phones .Men and women certainly operate on different hardware.Their brains are different by the time they’re born, and their brains are what drive their impulses,values.With women,speech is a specific area located primarily in left hemisphere with another,smaller specific area in the right hemisphere.In contrast,within men,speech & linguistic abilities are mostly operated out of left hemisphere with no specific location.Having speech on both sides of the brain makes women good conversationalist.

Refuting that belief, a survey finding published in current issue of the journal Science & BBC ,on nearly 400 undergraduate students - 210 women and 186 men, uncovers that female subjects get through an average of 16,215 words a day, compared with their male counterparts’ 15,669, a difference of mere 546. A point to note ( may be potential limitation ) - all participants were university students.

In fact The British National Corpus is a body of material that tests the sexual word budget directly.In the study “Social Differentiation in the use of English vocabulary: Some Analyses of the conversational component of the British National Corpus” ,published in International Journal of Corpus Linguistic , average daily word counts are somehow lesser.

1. Average words per day per speaker : 1/2 X 4,307,895 words / 148 speakers = 14,554 Words
   
   
   
2. Ratio of words per Female to words per Male : (2,593,452/561)/(1,714,443/536) = 1.45 (i.e. Female speaks 45% more words)
   
   
   
3. So male budgets average 5940 words per day (i.e 14,554/2.45) ,whereas female has rest 8614 words (i.e. 14,554-5940 ) in a day.

1. In a free-speak forum, women speak publicly about 25 % of the time, vs. 75 % for men
   
   
   
2. When the forum is caller-led, women are called upon about 1/3 as often as men are (even when the caller is a woman). When there is even one man present, we women defer to him and expect him to speak first.

Are you a “Good Liar”? Most people think that they are, but in reality its something different.

Using the first finger of your dominant hand ,simply draw a capital letter ‘Q’ on your forehead.

Read ahead once you are done.

Some people draw the letter ‘Q’ in such a way that it can be read by someone facing them,with the tail of the ‘Q’ on the left of their forehead.They are “High self monitors” and are concerned with how other people see them.They can easily adapt their behaviour to suit the situation in which they find themselves ,and are skilled at manipulating the way in which others see them.They tend to be good liar.

In contrast, people who draw the letter ‘Q’ in such way that they themselves can read it ,that is,the tail of the ‘Q’ on the right of their forehead, are “Low self monitors”.They emerge as the same person in different situations.They tend to lie less in life,are not so skilled at deceit.

Judge Kode slapped a six year imprisonment verdict on immortal Munna in 1993 serial blast case.Munna has been transfered to Yerawada prison, in Pune, from Mumbai’s Arthur Road jail and he is preparing for Mahatma Gandhi Exam.

This entire saga reminds me of one humorous conversation between “love struck Gandhi badi” Munna and “reputation worried” Circuit in LRMB…”Bhai Jail jane se apun ka reputation badega na?“

Well Sarkeshwar alias ‘Circuit’,I can not vouch for cities named Munna-Nagar or even Circuitabad. However if the following are any measure of reputation then Munna’s imprisonment has surely increased his reputation

1. Unprecedented rise in Sanjay Dutt related blog postings.(~400%)

2. Munna fan followers are hyper active now various social networking sites.

3.Online petition to President of India.(3023 Signatures so far..)

Lage Raho Munnabhai !!
