Why do we Yawn??

Last week I was travelling with one of my friend in metro after a tiresome day and started yawning like hell. Do hell with good manners, did not cover my mouth even… ah, whoever feels bad turn around!! My friend scolded me but did not start yawning seeing me. Why??? Isn’t it contagious??Some says we yawn if someone else is yawning in our proximity. True in most of the cases. Catch sight of someone yawning, and nine times out of ten, you will yawn yourself within a few seconds. But researchers have found that people with autism spectrum disorder don’t tend to succumb to an infectious yawn. Apparently, yawning becomes contagious at around one to two years of age, although unborn fetuses also yawn (presumably not contagiously though!) In general Yawning is form of gesture of boredom or tiredness. Yes, I was tired that day. And my breathing process had slowed down. So it was a respiratory reflex where my brain sent continuous signals for intake of oxygen. Mind it…yawning is not bad mann

But thn, recalled d grt advice frm grt frnd on teacher's day '09-" Siddhi, try to open up n share your feelings with those who care abt u". (these r nt d exact words but essence was same) So here I go- First of all things which u all know- N those which u don't know- 1. I do not like to talk about myself. I m shy n introvert. Though my first impression is contrary. 2. I like travelling n visiting smallest of smallest ,not so known places in rural india. 3. I m helpful but at d same time mean too. I believe its a mutual admiration society n "self giving" is over hyped virtue. 4. I am always preoccupied with my thoughts n dreams. Yes I indulge in day dreaming. 5. I do not wish to opt for 9 to 5 job. Rather want to be a free lancer. 6. I indulge in comfort eating 7. I am scared of lizards.
