Falling in love 'only takes about a fifth of a second'

Remember the expression 'losing your heart to someone'? Well you might have lost your brain instead, according to a new study that claims it's your brain and not your heart that makes you fall in love.
Stephanie Ortigue at Syracuse University said that falling in love can elicit not only the same euphoric feeling as using cocaine, but also affects intellectual areas of the brain -what's more - it only takes about a fifth of a second to fall in love.
Results from Ortigue's team revealed when a person falls in love, 12 areas of the brain work in tandem to release euphoria-inducing chemicals such as dopamine, oxytocin, adrenaline and vasopression.
The feeling also affects sophisticated cognitive functions, such as mental representation, metaphors and body image.
So, does the heart fall in love, or the brain?
"I would say the brain, but the heart is also related because the complex concept of love is formed by both bottom-up and top-down processes from the brain to the heart and vice versa," said Ortigue.
"Some symptoms we sometimes feel as a manifestation of the heart may sometimes be coming from the brain," she added.
The team also found that blood levels of nerve growth factor, or NGF were also high in couples, which had just fallen in love. This molecule involved plays an important role in the social chemistry of humans, or the phenomenon 'love at first sight.'
"These results confirm love has a scientific basis," said Ortigue.
The findings have major implications for neuroscience and mental health research because when love doesn't work out, it can be a significant cause of emotional stress and depression.
By identifying the parts of the brain stimulated by love, doctors and therapists can better understand the pains of love-sick patients.

For those with desk jobs, doing exercises while sitting can make a lot of difference, suggests a new study.
The research reported in Men's Health cautioned that those who sit for hours at a time - even if they regularly work out at the gym - are at an increased risk for an early death.
Marc Hamilton warned that sitting for long periods is bad for the heart, and that holds true for "exercising couch potatoes," reports the New York Daily News.
In other words, a person who jogs or goes on the elliptical five times a week, but hangs out at a desk all day other than that.
A study of the lifestyle habits of some 17,000 men and women revealed that those who sat for most of the day were 54pc more likely to have heart problems as those who rarely sat.

Hot news

  In a reel like but real life drama, an attempt to kidnap Tamil film actress Namitha was foiled in Tiruchirapalli in Tamil Nadu.
Namitha reached Tiruchy Monday by plane to take part in a function at Karur, around 330 km from here. She was to travel to Karur by car.

At the Trichy airport, a man identified as Periasamy introduced himself to her as the driver arranged by the function organisers.

Believing him, she boarded the car which sped away.

Seeing this, the real driver informed the organisers, who started chasing the speeding car.

The hot pursuit came to an end when the kidnapper car was overtaken and brought to a halt.

A subdued Periasamy told police that he was a fan of Namitha. But police said he gave contradictory answers to other questions.

Raktha charitra- Ram Goal Verma experiment Failed

Ram Gopal Varma’s recent experiments failed to impress – whether it was the controversial Sholay remake, Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, the much-publicised Sarkar Raj or the overhyped media expose Rann. None of them clicked at the box office, rather what made news was RGV’s verbal spats with fellow directors Karan Johar and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Rakht Charitra, based on the true life story of Andhra Pradesh politician Paritala Ravi, releasing in two parts and in three languages, was expected to mark the maverick filmmaker’s comeback to gritty drama.

Times of India’s Nikhat Kazmi observes that RGV does try to do a Tarantino but similarities end with the abundant use of blood and gore:

For while Tarantino layered his blood fest almost like filigree and bolstered it with a thrilling narrative, Rakta Charitra plays it over the top from start to finish. It’s very very loud in every way. The background music is deafening. The high-decibel voice-over is irksome and unnecessary. And the gore is unlimited. But that’s not the real bugbear here. We do have a stomach for violence and can watch it without shutting our eyes. What bothers us in Rakta Charitra is the character graph of almost all the main actors. Other thanAbhimanyu Singh, who essays the role of the almost-insane, truly bad, Ravana-like villain, none of the other characters manage to connect. And that’s because they flit across the screen in cameos that are nipped as soon as they begin to have an impact.

Anupama Chopra writes that Varma is least interested in the “psychology and evolution of his characters,” instead what intrigues him is “extreme behaviour”:

As Karan Johar revels in beauty, Varma revels in ugliness. So he spends an inordinate amount of time on exploring the ways in which people can hurt each other and his depiction of depravity feels uncomfortably voyeuristic.

The way RGV revels in the bloody and gory spectacle that the narrative creates is most discomfiting. CNN-IBN’s Rajeev Masand finds the film “bold and disturbing” but also says,

On the flip side,

Rakta Charitra

jars on account of a bothersome voice-over, and the unending violence threatens to reduce the film to a string of killings in search of a plot. The motives behind much of the action in the film feel simplistic occasionally, and the degree of violence itself is likely to turn off even the brave-hearts.

Pune Mirror’s Minty Tejpal wrote a befitting conclusion to the film’s review:

To end with one of the films few sharp lines. When Vivek’s prospective father-in-law asks what sort of place Anandpur is to stay in, he laconically answers, “Rehne ke liye achchi jagah hai, aur na rahne ke liye aur bhi achchi”.
The same goes for this violent film — Rakta Charitra is ok to watch, but very good to avoid.
