Quirky me !!!

November 9, 2008

It has been quite a while since Apar tagged me to list down 6 of my quirks. To be honest I love doing tags, which I guess, in blogosphere, should be considered. The first tag that I had attempted was also related to my quirks, check it out here.

This is the best I could come up with and I hope these are quirky enough. I am sure that even my family and the closest of friends would not have noticed some of these odd traits in me.

1) The light quirk
I feel very upset and depressed if the lights in the rooms are not switched on after 6pm. Not to be mistaken with Achluophobia, it’s a feel of loneliness and I imagine that the last person left on this planet is me.

2) The sweet quirk
I DO NOT LIKE sharing chocolates, sweets and ice creams (especially) with anyone. I am ok with sharing food (again not from the same plate), but I give a disgusted look to the person once they intrude into my space with those mentioned. I also follow a unique way of finishing my ice creams, something which should actually be watched to understand and I guess the only person who had noticed that is my sis, Ramya.

3) The fruit quirk
I really don’t know if this is a quirk, but according to some of my friends, it is. I love fruits and I could survive for days only on them. But there is one particular fruit which I don’t like at all, a fruit that is considered to be the king of fruits – Mango ! I have come across people who love mangoes more than their spouses. But I just cant stand the way it tastes.

4) The weekday quirk
I always wished if there wasn’t a Tuesday among all the other weekdays. Tuesdays have always turned out to be horrible and unlucky for me and on such days, I wouldn’t dare take a decision or venture into anything on purpose. I have been helpless a couple of times, but even then, I must have tried my best to avoid it. Also ask me for a favor on a Tuesday, and you would hear NO from me !

5) The photo quirk
90 % of my snaps would have my trademark Donald Duck smile. But things change the moment I wear a sunglass. I would insist someone to take a side profile snap of mine and for some reason, I would not smile. These are only a few of them :


Another quirk of mine is that I take a lot of my own snaps and relate them to famous quotes, which I call ‘Quotos’; check out my orkut album to understand what I mean. Some say I am obsessed with myself and my brother, after looking at those, even claimed that I have N.P.D. (Narcissist Personality Disorder) !!!

6) The tablet quirk
How does a person have his tablets normally? Swallow them along with water ???
Well, I prefer chewing them. Yup, I literally chew the prescribed tablets and only after that I drink water to cleanse my mouth.

Apart from these, there were a couple of other temporary quirks too. For example, years back, I used to stop speaking to friends of mine who drink or smoke and during my MBA lectures, I visit the loo everyday at 10.20 am; majority of the class would have a check at their watches when I get up at 10.18 to seek permission ! Quriky me, I say !!!

I now tag Verbivorehere, Archana, Sangeetha, Whacky, Su and Rakesh. All the best guys !!!

    Thanks for doing the tag! You are quirky!! Hope none of us asked for a share of your food…Next time we will order fries for you alone; hope A does not sit next to you! 😉 With diets like GM diet, I guess it is good you can live on fruits alone. Will catch up with you sometime soon.

    hee..hee..hee… that was a good one!!

    If you dont like sharing food from the same plate or not sharing ice creams, wait till you get married!!

    And you don’t like MANGO!! Wow! I dont like jack fruit (for its odour!)

    And you look good with the glares and the side pose (even without your donald duck smile!!)

    🙂 🙂

    And hey, vimal, i have not done the photo tag yet since i am not comfortable putting the snaps on blogsphere.. i hope you understand!!

    @ Sakhi :

    Wait till I get married ? why do they have to eat from my plate in the first place? will buy thousands similar to that!! Are you serious? Man, I always knew marriage was a pain!!! Hey, I dont like Jackfruit either, but yes, better than mangoes for me.

    And yeah, its ok, I understand. But you would be tagged twice from my end. Buhahahahaha!!

    @ Sangeetha :

    @ Vinod :

    You feel romantic when you are in the dark? when you are alone too? I should be careful from next time!!! LOL.

    Yeah I do that too. Dont even try snatching my ice creams, you will see the wild side of Vimal 😀

    Nope, none of the mangoes worked for me.

    Me, getting proposed??? The world would end that day, not necessarily Tuesday.

    Cooool. Deal, we take snaps of each other and embarass people around us, what say?

    LOL, why do even want that fraction bro

    @ Anita :

    Nooooooo….yeah, you better keep your mouth shut. puhleeeez !!!!

    I missed 10.20? wow, you guys wouldnt have known what time it was then!!!LOL.

    @ Reema :

    @ Ram :

    Welcome to V-Lokam.

    Yes,i know for a fact that just like “Joey” “Vimal doesnt share food!” especially sweets.He might chop the hand if as much as a finger moved towards his plate.
    i remember when you were down with jaundice you were refused any sweets.and ammayi used to pile me up with sweets and delicacies.you would look longingly at her and give me such death stares !!
    remember one such day i was given “sharkara upperi” and one accidently fell on the floor and i trampled it,even then you grabbed it and popped it into your mouth…..rofl..that was just pure DESPERATION!!!!
    there are more quirks to you than anybody i know.

    You have developed new quirks? or the ones that only Kuttan would know 😉 I guess I should have frequent conversations with him !

    @ Whacky :

    Should I be thanking you for complimenting my quirks ? LOL.

    I read your version man, you did it pretty quick !!

    @ Aaarti/Seat No. 10 :

    @ Arvind :

    U have a problem in swallowing it too?? LOL. They are medicines, not lizards !! You do eat too many apples, dont you? 😀

    @ Rakesh :

    Hmm…Medicines and sweetener, now why didnt I think of that?? but what if creates a side effect. Its all about chemicals 😀

    and you wont share your tablets???now, how dumb is that!!!

    I hate mangoes, yeah, but Im ok if its in the form of juices or ice creams(how can I avoid them). Btw, that post which you were referring to, I didnt drink slice. I drank glucose, remember?
