I know what's your attitude when you shake hands with me

You said everything without even moving your lips, when you shook your hand with me

The above sentence sounds a bit skeptic, but it's also obvious.I know that you might be thinking, that "what a simple Handshake will revel about what i want to talk". But Sherlock Holmes knew this very well and he was able to decipher what message was given by one person to other when they shook their hand. To make you understand the power of this gesture, we'll imagine a small situation in which you'll act like Sherlock Holmes.

  Now Sherlock Holmes (that is you) is reading a newspaper and on the front page he see's this image of John Abraham(left) and  Sachin Tendulkar. The newspaper boy who bought the paper was completely wet because it was raining outside and hence the newspaper was also wet.Because of which the news below this image was not clear. The only readable portion had the following information " It was a awesome football match between the team of John Abraham and Sachin Tendulkar" and this image was taken after the match between the two teams was over.
  Now Sherlock Holmes tell me "whose team has won,is it john abraham team or sachin tendulkar??".
So what is your answer by just looking at the above image. By the end of this post i'll make sure that you'll  be able to verify the correct answer on your own.Just imagine how powerful this gesture is because it just gave away the information of who won the match without even reading the news.
  Following are the various handshaking gesture which will help you to understand " What the other person is trying to talk, without even moving his/her lips"
=============================================================== 
1. Double Hander 
          This is type of handshake where one person hold's the hand of other person by using his both hands 
This type of handshake is given by the people who are having some personal relationship with the other.When you see this gesture between two people we can easily make-out that they have some personal contact with each other and if there isn't any personal contact than the person (single hander) will start feeling irritated.
  Once one of my friend introduced me to his girlfriend and when they both went for shaking hands the boy (my friend) used the double hander gesture and their was a slight irritation on the girls face.This was enough for me to know that their relationship was soon going to end and it was not a surprise for me when it really ended.
2. The vice 
       This type handshake tell's that the other person is bit nervous or anxious and feels that the other person will dominate him and is insecure about the same. hence while engaging in the handshake this person will try to press the hand a bit hard to show that he is dominating.But a excellent observe like Sherlock Holmes will certainly come to know that this person is feared of others dominating him.
  3. The Socket wrencher handshake 
           This is the type of handshake in which the one person try's to tell the other that he is more superior than him and he/she is  dominating the relation between the two. While engaging in this handshake the controller that is the dominating person will drag the hand of other person into his personal space were he feels comfortable and hence he display's his control on the other person .
The person on the left of the above image has clearly shown that he is dominating and controls the relation.In this image the person in left is trying to say that "I AM GOING TO WIN". hey now has you have learned about this gesture, you must be wondering that this image and the first image on this post looks very similar. Yes i am sure that now you can verify your answer on your own. 
yes you are right John Abraham team had won the match
 ===============================================================
My intention here is not to teach you all the different handshake and what are their meaning but what i wanted to show you that if you learn about different types of handshake and understand the meaning of each handshake than it will take you  one step closer to become Sherlock Holmes.Finally we must understand that Sherlock Holmes was not born Sherlock Holmes, It was a Journey of becoming Sherlock Holmes.
