Sajan Re Jooth Mat Bolo (Don't Lie, Dear )

Sajan Re Jhoot Mat Bolo is a Comedy TV serial on SAB TV introduces the greatest humor from situational lies and liars.

I sometimes used to wonder why we are always told to tell the truth or not to tell a lie. And then I came to believe that it was to keep our lives less complicated, because when you tell the truth you do not have to remember what you said, and also your brain does not have to do regression testing of every situation that may get effected. Just as in software testing, every time you make any small change in the code, you have to test and re-test everything to see that it is not affecting any un-imaginable or ‘not so obvious’ components, every time you tell a lie you have to do a calculation like chess moves and see where all you will have to synchronize the facts and lies.

Now this is what the scientists in the western world have recently found out:

“Brain scans show that the brains of people who are lying look very different from those of people who are telling the truth”, claim U.S. researchers. "There may be unique areas in the brain involved in deception that can be measured with fMRI," said Dr. Scott Faro, director of the Functional Brain Imaging Center at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia. "There may be unique areas in the brain involved in truth telling," Faro added at a news conference. "We found a total of seven areas of activation in the deception (group)," he said. "We found four areas of activity in the truth-telling arm." Overall, it seemed to take more brain effort to tell the lie than to tell the truth, Faro found.”

Your brain actually has to make more effort to tell a lie, may be because you have to think, calculate and then speak. You have to cook up data in your brain and then speak, while telling a truth is just like querying data and publishing it as such without any manipulations.

Interesting, isn’t it?
