They say it is romantic. Perhaps it is! They say that it is all because of the absolute synchronisation of the two brain waves. I don’t think I can believe that. They even say that a major portion of our brain is devoted to process this particular sensory information. I neither can believe this. Now you can believe these: It communicates affection. It makes you feel closer to the person. It relieves stress. It increases bonding and love. It frees you from fear, pain and anxiety. While it is easy to argue as to which is superior among the five senses, it is a lot easier to agree that hand holding gesture is one of the common forms of touch sense and it means a lot.
Let me not think of history or origin or physiology or psychology or a hundred other words that I can suffix with “hand holding” and do a web search. I am sure I don’t want end up reading something like “Brain-to-brain coupling during hand holding is associated with pain reduction”. I would like to share a few hand holdings that gives me a wow feel. In fact, though there are many more that I can mention, I am here with just three.
Take a moment to watch two kids walking and holding each other’s hands. It is beautiful. I don’t know how true it is but I always feel their school bags on the back and lunch bags on the other hand make the scene much more beautiful. I am sure they don’t even realise that they are holding hands. This hand holding primarily expresses their joy and a bit of caring. That is why they are more animated and the whole body overflows with positivity and hence the beauty.
Kids holding their grandparents’ hands are very special. Kids soon take “I know more than you” style as grandparents tend to play with kids as if they know nothing. And of course, kids also learn things that their grandparents are not interested in learning. I am sure every parent teach their kids to take care of their grandparents as they are becoming older. Kids do teach and care. That is exactly what they do with their dolls. That is exactly what they do with their grandparents. It doesn’t matter who holds whose hands but kids walk ahead as if they are leading. While it is a pleasure for us watch this walk, it is a walk in the heaven for their grandparents.
Here is the strange one. Girls only stuff, I guess. I can be wrong to a great extent but surely not 100%. I know my sister. Yes, a girl holding her father’s hand. They may feel be secured. They may feel loved. They may feel relaxed. But above all, this hand holding has “Hey, world! look, this is my dad and I am the happiest now” tone written all over. It doesn’t matter whether it is a five years little girl or fifty years old woman. I think this is the only hand holding that takes great pride in doing so.
