Anything Under The Sun

Every morning I wake up to the sound of a 'thud'. Aaah! Its 'Squawky'. Yes, Squawky is the peacock who invariably acts as my alarm clock. Not only does he land roughly on the shed next to my room window, he also begins to sing 'melodiously' and persistently. I must take some lessons on persistence and perserverance from him sometime. ;-) Hehe.

If he stopped at that, it might have been ok; but the guy goes one step further. Literally!! He starts walking up and down the roof of the shed making it sound like the march of a parade. God Squawky, when will you learn to let me wake up on my own. 'Never' is what I think he'd say (If he could speak our language). Lets ignore him for the moment.

Squawky has friends; the green birds on the nearby tree. The parrots. Noisy birds, I tell you!! 'Birds' I believe, are synonymous with being noisy; so I'm told. Don't blame me girls, I didn't say it.

Anyway I think I'll have to continue this story later in the day, coz I've got to rush back to work. Coffee break over!!

It seems like an unusual topic to write about, specially for a guy like me. But when I read an article in the papers recently, I got so engrossed that I tried to find out as much information I could about this. And I'm keen on sharing it with you.

More about narco-analysis:
The term narcoanalysis was coined in 1936 for the use of narcotics to induce a trance like state, where the subject talks freely and is deprived of his/her self control and will power to manipulate his/her answers. In a narcoanalysis test, the subject's imagination is neutralised and reasoning faculty affected by making him/her semi-conscious. In this state, it becomes difficult for the subject to lie and his/her answers are restricted to facts he/she is already aware of. Some well known truth serums are seconal, hyoscine, sodium pentothal and sodium amythal.

Next blog will be about Polygraphs and Polygraph Tests.
