Bhubaneswar: This viral picture of a girl may leave you confused. But don’t worry. Aal Izz Well! Look at the picture of the pretty girl. You can see the little girl posing for a photo in a park with a cute clip in her hair and a cosy scarf on.
Yet, the moment you shift your focus to her legs, you may feel sorry as you would think that her legs look so teeny and thin. Even you may start scolding me why I have put such a photo. But wait. Look closely and also check out the photo inside the copy. Now, you will be convinced that she is a beautiful girl with perfect legs. The truth is that she doesn’t have any physical disabilities. Then, how the photo left you confused.
It is due to optical illusions your eyes initially provided a wrong photo to your brain. Look closely, she is holding a transparent bag of popcorn which perfectly blends with the dried-out grass beneath her feet. And thus her legs look thin.
The picture has been posted on Facebook and so far it’s received over 230,000 shares with 46,000 reactions and 37,000 comments. So it’s pretty clear that people have been left baffled, just like we were.

Not only this picture, rather you may come across many such other photos where you may initially be confused due to optical illusion.
Here is another example. Look at this picture. What do you see? A beach, a sea and sky? Yes, anybody initially can see these things. However, actually it is the door of a car that needs immediate repair.

Answering to a large number of queries over the photo a user tried to explain like this – “The dark blueish sky is the tailgate closed, the water below that is the rear bumper I believe, and it’s silver and there is a chip in the middle, then below that is the ground.” This explanation may also help you finding the truth behind the photo.
In Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha, you can find examples of optical illusions at the Regional Science Park. In the ‘Physics Gallery’ of the park, there is an exhibition where you would see only the head part of a person put on a plate. You may be confused. But this is science. And it is called optical illusion.
