The weirdo that I am...!


Man, in all his spheres of life, strives to be successful. Some among humanity believe that being different from others or being abnormal shall make them stand out. There is just a narrow thin line between being different and abnormal, and that is when you understand that however different you are, you still remain an integral part of humanity, of the world and nature. But we all in our normal day to day routines of life do get strange occasionally; we become different from the people around us, by certain separate characteristic traits.

Sreejith and Gaurav have tagged me and in the process set me out on a journey to find these strange traces of my character sketch. In simpler words, they would like to know about the weirdo that I am.

There are a few rules to this tag, of course that I must tag six people, leave comments on their blogs, and also tell six weird things about myself. So here goes…

Built-In Echo System : I speak less and am the type of guy who would tend to go quiet when among a group of people. Yet when I speak something, I then keep repeating it in my mind, until I have spoken my next few words. I do not know whether this is due to my shyness or whether I am perfecting my speech, but most often this happens without my knowledge and my friends often tease me for that. Anyway so there you have it, one weird aspect of mine, which I have discovered.

Bathroom Dancer : Well!, this is a bit private, yet felt that this cannot be missed. You would have heard about bathroom singers, but I am a crazy bathroom dancer. I just love splashing water all over the walls, hopping around so much like a monkey and have a great happy time while I bath. I have always liked to dance, but I simply cannot get any steps right, when I want. So in the privacy of a bathroom, I just let go.

Green Peas Hater : I am a great lover of food. I can really eat anything except for green peas, something which I really don’t like. It`s not about the taste, it`s not about the shape, but the truth remains that I hate green peas, especially when they are fried.

Emotional Rollercoaster : In my six years of college, if there is one thing that I have enjoyed most, it is being teased, and yet at times my emotions differ from person to person. Some friends tease me like hell, and yet all I do is laugh with them, meanwhile I can easily get hurt rather irregularly when certain friends even make a passing remark. I know that this does not have anything to do with the intimacy of the relationship which I have with my friends. I believe it is yet another trace of weirdness in me. And gladly many friends understand me.

Snake Lover : I just have this great respect and admiration for these wonderful reptiles and yet I have to agree, I am awfully scared of them too. If there is one living thing on earth which has awed me with its persona, it will have to be a snake. And talking about snakes, my favourite one shall always be the King Cobra. Whenever I used to visit my ancestral house in Kerala, I always spend a couple of lonely moments near the sarpa kaavu or a small ecosystem, near the house, which is left alone and undisturbed for the snakes.

Constant Speculator : I constantly bet upon things happening around me and try to make predictions for the future based upon the results, though they have no relation whatsoever. For example, I would assume that if I cross the road before the red car comes near, then I will be able to leave early from office. I place my bets safely too, because the red car is always sufficiently far away. So much, for my belief in astrology.

Now I need to tag six people, so with great pride and privilege I tag…

Ram, Marutham, Reshmi, Passerby55, Hip Grandma and Jigs.

Hello Srijith.
You said about, how u get teased by your friends.And i have always been a mute spectator then. To be true, i never joined them while teasing, because i always thought u had some emotional feeling going through your heart, when got teased.
I have always been your admirer, i have learnt lot from u.
Deepak said…
Bathroom dance?? Be careful lest you may slip and fall. :p

Snakes... I'm also weird with the snakes in the fact that I am not at all afraid of them.

Red car stuff is interesting. LOL

I absolutely love Green Peas.
Balaji said…
Hi Sri,

Snakes have always created awe and fear in me. I am always enchanted by the shows that feature snakes.

I love peas. best with noodles.... :)

The following link contains a book written by Anouradha Bakshi, of an NGO called Project Why based in Delhi. I do read her blogs and have always found it thought provoking and profound (www.projectwhy.blogspot.com). Do read the blog when you get time.
I know that you are an avid reader. Can you please read the book below and give your opinion on the same.

BD,

The specualation bit is right there within me as well. Its amazing the way I build castles and walls on shores that I have no clue abt, and worry my head off on it. I am glad that I have company in u, though of a slighlty more moderate kind than I am!!

:D
Movie Mazaa said…
Now that you have decided to make that much guarded secret public, I sure am gonna stick with BD for a while...

:D :P :))))
Alex said…
Then everyone would be weird and the whole wide world would be weird! :)

Nice to hear that you bathroom dance, but be doubly careful.

PS My blog link in your page does not work properly.
chitra said…
Just b careful that the bathroom is not wet! youmight end up with broken legs.

Green Peas: Best way to have them then would be to boil, grind them and knead it with Roti dough. mattar Paratha : v.tasty. this way, u wouldnt be able to see the shape.
