Middle Finger and Hypocrisies!
Okie here's my rant, I am quite livid with people here in USA taking offense for it , specially keeping in mind their continuous stress on promoting the easiest possible options in every possible walk of daily life. There is perfectly valid explanation for my rant. If you notice that your middle finger is longest of all the fingers and the first one to reach/point out to any object if you open your palm thus making it practically illogical to use index finger for all the functions mentioned above. Moreover if you notice you have to do more work of folding your other fingers and reaching out more while you use the Index finger which goes against the very "fabric" this nation is built on, the fabric that couch potatoes warm up to in every household:)
Its upto you to interpret the above as a valid point or its just the way I show or tell myself about my subconsious grudge for this monotonous life in general or its just I still continue being a Lukha(a word stole from Megha's blog) from the time of my previous posts.

Cultural connotations vs practicality. I guess sometimes the connotations take precedence. I am sure we can trace various examples in almost every culture...including our own! ;) -

Well I guess...its just a case of how we, in general, percieve things [sorry ..back to the basics]..We [read "The complete seedha saadha species"] humans tend to associate things very quickly and then the other quality in us, i.e being rigid, does NOT really allow us to see out of the associations we have made in our minds easily.
Din't mean to be that vague and dry..But hey....my "2 cents" :-) -

Well this comes back to our discussion about society and conformance to the rules I guess. I never know where to draw the line between what is acceptable and what is just not!!! I get into trouble with violating these rules all the time so I can understand why you are so livid with the Americans, at the same time I don't know if it's ok to be !! :) Gosh I am confused now .. I need caffeine, the panacea for all my problems!!! -

"Moreover if you notice you have to do more work of folding your other fingers .. while you use the Index finger .."
I tried it, and I have to disagree with you. Folding the rest of the fingers is the easiest when you have to point the index finger. Its definitely more work trying to point any of the other fingers, be it the middle, the ring or the little pinky. Completely worthless information, but then that has always been my USP :)

First the feet and now the finger?! Hmmm, what's going on?! And do try to use the Index finger whenever possible, save middle finger for the opportune moments:) -

Its defintely worth more than 2 cents...otherwise I wouldn't spend time worth an hour of my paid salary understanding the true meaning of it.
Leave the 2 cent worth crap to me.

Nah ... I personally think its my lukhagiri than anything else that prompted this post.
(Megha) I agree with you this while pointing. I guess I didnot put it right....I meant when you touch anything like elevator buttons, microwave..etc...Do you find using index finger much easier in these activities as well....? otherwise I am the odd man out..
I also noticed that some pujari's in hindhu temples use the middle finger to put the tilak or bhottu on your forhead. I dont know if its for the reason though.
