The G Factor

' you look so much like your dad' 'you look just like your mom'. many of us have faced this statement whenever our long lost relative bumps on to us one fine day after almost a decade. Every little thing you do is being compared to your parents. 'you know when your dad was young he was as naughty and stubborn like you' ya right... Thanks to the genes. It seems there are some 24000 genes in nearly everyone of our cells. Iam not here to talk about the scientific meaning of gene or about the human genome project. Iam amazed and awed by the four letter science word. Its not just the looks but the behavioural pattern also is guided by the gene it seems. Things like being an alcoholic, robbery, sometimes your voice can also be so much like somone in your family. On movies when they show that the dad and the son are the double role of the same hero i used to think what crap like they both can look the same. but you know what they can look so much like each other. I cant quote a better example than the Bachans. Look at abhishek he looks and behaves so much like his dad. look at Hrithik and you can easily say he is Rakesh Roshan's son.
My brother has striking resemblance to his 2 uncles(mum's brothers) and his cousin brother (mum's sister's son). They all look so much like each other and their actions and behaviour matches with each other so much. Last week i went to my husband's cousin's house and i was awed to see her son who looks exactly like his mum's brother. Similarly one more cousin of my husband looks exactly like his mum's brother. More and more guys are identical to their materal uncle. Now that amazes me. is'nt that power of gene incredibly. If you look like your mum or dad its kinda beleivable but uncle and grandma's looks..wow...
I dont know why i wrote this blog but i was completely awed by this factor of science and iam sure you all would have noticed it or atleast start noticing it from now on and will understand the G factor..
