left to right-confusion all along

i am a left hander by birth.so naturally i use my left hand most of the time. i started writing  with my left  hand only. but our teacher, mahadevaiah sir,did not lik it. he was one of the best teachers at that time.we were all living inthe same cluster of houses. many children used to come to his house for tutions.
he used to feel that vidya ie education is goddess. so it is blasphemy to hold the pencil,pen or balapam with left hand.so he forced me against my natural  instinct to write with my right hand.
as a result  my world as i knew somersaulted. when  i first went to karedu, i remember the positioning of houses,streets in certain fashion. after  i was forcefully convertd in to right hander,entire scenery was in the reversed fashion. i was so confused. from then started my saga  of great confusion.whenevr i held any object wth my left  hand, i was doubtful  whether it was th e right way or not. so i started to transfer it, in process  either dropping the object or breaking it successfully.you had to  see my plight. every one was scolding me.
even today i get confused between right  and left ,directions and angles.my confusion is so much that i have tomentally think of with which hand i take my food.before replying as to which is my right hand or left.
as aresult , i acquired the worst hand writing.sa a result i got less marks for hndwriting.i used to write with my left hand till i passed fourth standard. after that only i started writing with right hand.
my eldest sister and brother who were studying medicine later told my parents that by forcefully convering, one can become  eve n mentally deranged.but my parents and our teacher did not know the adverse consequences probably in thoe days.
all my sisters and brothers are doctors. but i am the only one who could not a seat in medicine.i strongly feel that god is great. because if i had taken up that profession with this confusion of right and left,i would have created chaos in the medical field.
but my children are all right handres. my brothers son durga is a lefthander. my brother  has left him to develop naturally.
even today except writing , all other things i do withmy left hand only.
vani tank you for folloing my blog

You could not go to Medicine like your brothers and sisters because, our batch had entrance test for the first time and also 25% of seats were reserved for backward classes for the first time,depriving students from other forward castes.
