A Conversation between me and a student of Manipal, Karnataka, India

ME: Excuse Me........
HE: Yes
ME:Hi, Could you please tell me the way to Controller of Examination's office ?
HE: Yes, Please go straight and turn left
ME: Left or Right
HE:(Bit Embarrassed) Sorry, Right (smiles)
ME:(Smiling) No problem...it happens.....

When you are reading this, perhaps you can't understand why I asked "Left or Right"....
Well, the guy told 'Left', but he gestured 'Right' :)

This made me think for a while, when I was waiting in the bus stop for about an hour. I name it the 'Left-Right Syndrome'... It is not just he, but many of us, during different courses of our lifetime, made this mistake of confusing with the directions ...

Is it the human nature itself ? Brain is really full of suspenses !!!

How many of you have this syndrome ? Comment .....
