No need to feel shy of contagious yawning!

Dear Cheeniya Sir,

I too yawn in between typing something or even reading... My Yawn becomes problematic when I recite Sthothrams during Pooja in the evening... My husband is very irritated about my yawning which makes him and our little daughter also do the same...

Even I had been caught for yawning in the classroom by one of my teachers in my Plus 2 class.... Felt very embarrassed at that time, standing when all the class is looking at me and the teacher shouting at me asking "Didn't you sleep yesterday night"? The truth was that the lecture was so boring that I couldn't help....:mrgreen:

 

Hello Cheeniya sir,

Really I too don't know why, but the moment I started reading your post I started yawning. Can it be what the psychology people call as auto-suggestion ? It must be the word-suggestion. And as Sudha wrote even I wonder whether it is contagious through net? As of now, what is the count for and against? I did read the Chithra Squared"ujar".

And trust our Sunkan to bring out the scientific facts. Thank you.

Regards,

Abha.

 

Dear Cheeniya,
Another theory....( result of listening to Deepak Chopra,)

Since we are all connected in this UNiverse...you know Soul and all.....we are all a part of One another etc etc....so i guess since all of us are bonded through our thoughts and feelings....these things like yawning( which is why they cant be proved i guess, ) catch up with one another. But honestly whenever i read the replies on Yawning, i did get the urge to Yawn.....and Yes it is difficult to type with one finger with a big yawn...i just expeienced that!....ha ha.....

Aren't we all making a Boring , i mean a yawning topic into something as psychological and spiritual etc etc!:mrgreen:

 

Dear Sudha,
I am an ardent fan of Deepak Chopra !
But I wonder, how you co relate the connectivity of souls with yawning !
Well, yawning has suddenly "emerged" into an interesting topic - in our interest to read all the posts in his thread without missing, yawning takes a back-seat !
I wonder whether Sri himself would have dreamt that "yawning" will be a winner post, drawing so many F Bs !
Love,
Chithra.

 

dear sri,
i like all ur articles because they are down to earth and not a serious one, but here in yawning i notice each one coming up with different versions felt the depriviation of oxygen should also be seen here, so that people can take care immediately...sunkan

 

Dear Cheeniya,

Nice topic and as usual excellent write-up by you on imitating, mimicry and yawning. Imitating cine actors was a very common pastime among us when we were in school. When M.G.R's Nadodi Mannan came many of us including me used to take the two fingers to the nose and do exactly like M.G.R was doing in that movie. M.G.R used to wear shirts with very short sleeves and we all followed suit. Similarly, hair-styles of Dev Ananad, Rajesh Khanna and Amitab Bachan are imitated by many.

Mimicry is becoming very popular with the program 'Asathapovathu Yaaru'. One person called Kovai Guna can not only speak in any actor's voice, his body language also mimicried.

Yawning and contagious yawning we used to do in our classes when the lecturer used to be boring. I still wonder whether yawning is a symptom of getting sleep or coming out of sleep since I am getting yawns both times. Even animals do yawning.

On the lighter side, here is the definition of yawn:

Yawn : The only time some married men ever get to open their mouth.
