And just so you know, didn’t dream up this post, was tagged by the dude who calls himself Zoxcleb & blogs at Wall Street.
Necessary introduction being made, let’s cut straight to the main course (not much of a soup or starters person, but that’s just a fact, not something weird) -
(06) I like to sit with my feet crossed over. Some people think I’m into Yoga & doing Padmasana (the lotus pose) or some variation on it. Not at all. I’m just used to it. It’s supposedly the most correct position for the body to be most comfortable in (don’t ask me where I got that from, it’s just something that’s stuck in my head). You’ll find me (depending on how close I am to you) sitting in your house, your car & yes, even your computer chair in this position. Yes, you don’t need a webcam to know I’m doing it right now 
(05) I usually don’t talk concise. I usually talk like I’m writing a book. There’s usually a prologue & an epilogue too. I say “usually” because there are times I’m quiet (believe it or not). These are extreme times - when I’m either very sad or very happy. When I’m very sad, I don’t usually talk about it. When I’m very happy, I like to savor the moment without talk.
(04) I can move my nostrils at will. If in a swimming pool with me, you’ll be excused for thinking me the great white shark. Ok, great white sharks do NOT have nostrils, I just thought I’d add that bit because it sounded nicer than just saying “I can move my nostrils”. Did you not read point 05???
(03) I’m very pro-life (& I don’t mean only anti-abortion). I really mean pro-life. I think life is meant to be lived to the hilt, abundantly & full of very good thing (which excludes all things immoral & illegal). Once when I was a little little girl, my sister, a neighbour and I killed a slug in our building garden. We all felt so bad that we found a matchbox, dug a hole & buried it, complete with a little cross on top (made with two twigs we tied together) and prayers at the grave. Haven’t willfully killed anyone since.
(02) I love going to Naturals Ice Cream because they have the best Natural ice creams in Mumbai (& in the world according to some) like Anjeer, Lychee etc etc. The thing is, I go to Naturals & only order the very un-natural Chocolate Chip (Waffle Cone). Everytime, like DHL, without fail. It’s seriously amazing, trust me.
(01) I love to sing. I don’t know if I’m any good at it but I really love to sing. So I’ll sing on the road (even if I’m walking completely alone), sometimes I even move my head in a hip-hop way to the tune in my head (you thought I only hear voices?!). I sing along the music in the car - my sister used to find this extremely annoying as did someone else who was close to me once. I sing in Karaoke clubs - come on, that’s what they’re there for. I sing in church, at parties, at work or “just”. The weirdest thing of all, is that I do NOT sing in the shower. Go figure.
Weird enough to put me into a straight jacket? Some people think so even without reading this list. The epilogue is over.

As for the tag, let’s hope it comes out soon. I mean, how do you expect me to list only 6 weird things about myself? I’ll need some time to shortlist the six weirdest.

BTW, you are also quiet when your angry.

@ Harsha: Thx for saying I’m not weird, but don’t think I’ll be rewriting any posts..not a who-is-the-weirdest contest… and even if it was, not sure it’s the type of contest I’d be trying to win. Seeing that you are though makes me all the more wnthu to read your post. Weirdo.
@ Dev: Yes only 6… lol I know it’ll be hard!
@ Ashish: Yeah you’re right, we’re all weird in our own ways… I think tha’s what makes the world fun, special, unique and maybe a bit scary too!
@ Aparna: Hey girl, good to hear from you even it’s after a while. Trust you’re doing alright & not turning hubby deaf yet
@ Noojes: Good girl! Btw, when are we meeting up?
@ Sherriff: lol… I too sing at work - something we have in common I guess!
@ Reshma: lol, look fwd to reading!
@ gps: Ignore them, they’re silly lil kiddos.

@ Rahul: The south of where, L’Amerique? lol, no I haven’t. HAnd not even in the south of India (though have visited & love it there).
I think I can “y’all” when I want to nevertheles…
@ Jo: Audio blogging…? Think I’ll leave that to the experts like you. Will continue in my car till then
@ Alex: Thx, I think. It was a difficult time in my life. Just pretended to be happy so they’d let me out. Now I have a photo with heads I black out when I;’m done avenging my misfortunes.. Ok. Sorry I guess I should have mentioned this is another weird thing about me, am a great storyteller. Maybe a bit schizo too.
@ Ajay: Well, the meme said 6. And unfortunately though I’d love to agree with you on this one, am not really quite when I’m agree. Try to be though.
