Calling all Lefties !! World left handers day :)

Never knew there is something like world left handers today until I saw Sai’S post 😆. I would love to know who else is a lefty here just like Sai and me .

I have a friend who was born left handed but her mother forced her to do everything with her right hand. So, now she uses her right hand to eat and to write, whilst using her left hand for everything else.

Also, King George VI, the British king was also born left handed. However, during his time left hand was considered to be bad hand and his nanny forced him to write, eat, and do practically everything else with his right hand instead.

Oh … I only do pooja from right hand ( it was my decision as a kid) 😃. After marriage my in-laws asked me to try eating from right hand and I tried but then I felt like I didn’t have food and felt still hungry .

They didn’t force me 😳. I can write from both hands though and eat too but with struggle 😆

I guess a lot of people are not used to seeing others eating and doing stuff with their left hands 🤣. In some Islamic countries and Asian countries it is considered rude to pass or hand stuff and things with left hands.

Also, before the industrial revolutions Arab was a desert where waters were very limited. Therefore, they only had enough water to wash one hand and that is the right hand. So, left hand becomes the dirty hand for them.

Me, me, me! 😃

Fully and completely left-handed, only drink from my right-hand due to cultural and religious beliefs.

I'm the only lefty in my family so whenever they visit my kitchen and try to help themselves to something, they all lose their mind kyunke as my mother not-so-kindly says, "har cheez ulti rakhi hai!" 😆😆

I'm not on Instagram or Twitter btw, can anyone share a link to Sai's post?

So, you also eat with your left hand?

"bold.......same thing happened with my mom too...but most of the work she does with left hand...writing with right hand though

my son is same too..he writes with right hand..but eats & uses his left hand for all other activities more..which he finds ease, more then right

I guess there are supposedly more left handed people on Earth. It's just that the left hand has traditionally and culturally in many places been seen as the dirty hand and impolite hand. Therefore, a lot of people are taught or forced by their parents, nannies, caretaker to use their right hand to do everything instead.

Does your son use his right hand to write because you taught him to do it or it came naturally for him?
