AMBIDEXTROUS RAPHAEL WRITES 2 LANGUAGES SIMULTANEOUSLY |
||||||||
|
What is it that cannot be achieved by constant practice? Raphael, Ayathupadi, Perumbavoor, has turned his attention to writing mirror images of sentences and by constant practice perfected the feat of writing with his back to the board. His
unusual dexterity does not end there.
He can write mirror images of sentences in 4 languages –
Malayalam, English, Hindi and Tamil – in 4 different ways at normal
speed. He can write with
equal facility with either hand and can even write with a chalk held by
the toe. Besides,
he has the ability to write 2 different languages simultaneously.
While the right hand writes on a topic in one language, the left
hand can write on another topic in another tongue.
This must be a case of multiplexing at neural level or the right
hand not knowing what the left hand is doing. Raphael,
who is a work supervisor at HMT, Kalamassery, hopes to find a mention in
Guinness Book of Records through his feat.
And if he had a choice, perhaps he would have written his own
citation in mirror symmetry. His
son Dhavan too has mastered the reverse-writing technique, he says.
