The difference between Anna Hazare and Mahatma Gandhi

Anna Hazare, the social activist who has been in the news lately because of the Lokpal Bill, has been compared to Mahatma Gandhi. This post explains the similarities and differences between the two men by comparing their hands. But before I begin, it needs to be said that these two men couldn't be more different!

The major characteristics of Hazare’s hand are his strong mount of Moon, the deep and dark lines on his rather rectangular palm, the development of the lower part of the hand, and slightly short conic fingers accompanied by a long thumb. Mahatma Gandhi, on the other hand, has a squarer palm with a better balance of the mounts, a larger hand and longer fingers, telling us that he is quite different from Anna Hazare, although they could share

Hugh Jackman's hand reading

The sheer physicality of Hugh Jackman’s hand leaps out at you when you first see it. The large, slightly hard-looking hand, the squareness of it, the large broad fleshy palm, the deep lines, the wide and high Venus, the pink colour and balanced finger phalanges.

Kareena, Katrina, Priyanka or Aishwarya?

Who is better? Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra or Aishwarya Rai Bachchan? They are the top actresses in the Hindi film industry (Bollywood) today. Based on their hand, they have been evaluated on 3 aspects and scored out of 10. These 3 things are 1) Talent, 2) Sex Appeal and 3) Manipulativeness. 

To reach these conclusions, the hand overall was studied. The signs taken into consideration were the shape of the hand overall, the strength of the mounts and relative length of the fingers, and the shape and quality of the lines.  


A rating of 8 or 9 simply means that the actor is near the top but only among the four. They are only being compared to each other.

1 - Talent.

A brief explanation of what acting "Talent" is about: 

Acting is the ability to emote but it is not pure acting talent that has been taken into account, as this is not the only aspect that makes an actor successful. Screen presence is important. This they say is the ‘X’ factor that successful actors possess and includes an actor's poise, confidence, intelligence and most important - concentration. It gives an actor the ability to get into the character without being conscious of the audience.

Then there is also the quality of charisma which often makes up for a lack in the acting department. Actors with charisma tend to hypnotise the audience.

When it comes to the commercial success of female Indian actors, talent may not count that much as Indian cinema is male-oriented and female actors are not given good roles in which they can prove their talent. Their male counterparts tend to get the meaty roles. Thus, female actors are often selected for roles which do not demand high acting ability. Beauty and sex appeal
