Who exactly are the Normans you may ask, the answer is: Vikings. Vikings are Scandinavian explorers and traders who travelled across the Europe in their Longboats.
The term Norman however applies to the settlers in Normandy a region in Northern France. The first thing that comes to my mind when I say “Viking” is Thor. Not the comic character but the Norse god of thunder… ok fine all I can imagine is the comic character but apart from him the first thing comes to my mind is his father Odin, the all father. He was the ruler of Asgar, their own special country. All this for some reason reminds me of Indian mythology (Hindu mythology id I want to be politically correct) because Indra is the King of Devaloka, the place where the gods live and he also happens to be the god of lightning and thunder.

Soon enough a water buffalo comes charging towards him because he was in its territory. As the buffalo comes closer it hears the music and stops dead in its tracks enraptured by the performance. A lion comes out of nowhere and charges in hopes of human flesh for dinner and the same things happens to is as well. A giant tusker comes trundling towards and he too is enticed by the music. All three animals listen to the performance when suddenly a leopard comes out of nowhere and strikes down the violinist with one swipe of its paw. The other animals asked “why did you do that? We’ve never heard music like that before.” The leopard cups a paw to its ear and says “Could you repeat that? I’m a little hard at hearing.”

FEAR:
Fear is a powerful and primitive human emotion. It alerts us to the presence of danger and was critical in keeping our ancestors alive. Fear can actually be divided into two stages, biochemical and emotional.
Biochemical response: When we confront a perceived danger, our bodies respond in specific ways. Physical reactions to fear include sweating, increased heart rate and high adrenaline levels. This physical response is sometimes known as the “fight or flight” response, in which the body prepares itself to either enter combat or run away.
Emotional response: The emotional response to fear is highly personalized. Some people are adrenaline junkies, thriving on extreme sports and other fear-inducing thrill situations. Others have a negative reaction to the feeling of fear, avoiding fear-inducing situations at all costs. Although the physical reaction is the same, fear may be perceived as either positive or negative.
(Adrenaline junkie: a colloquial term used to describe someone who is addicted to thrilling and fear-inducing situations. The act of conquering fear creates a rush of endorphins that is simultaneously energizing and relaxing. This natural high leads adrenaline junkies to seek out ever-bigger thrills and excitement.)
Types of fears:
1.ericophobia: a fear of heathland
2.horophobia:a terror of clocks
3.successophobia: the fear that if one is successful, then one’s personal needs will be forgotten
4.deipnophobia:a fear of dinner parties
