Vasuki has tagged me to write 6 weird things about myself. He has no idea how tough a job it is. To pick from the multitude of my weird behaviors is a Herculean task.
Anyways…here are some things which I find unusual about myself.
The tortoise spell:
I walk slowly. What’s weird about that, you ask? Walk with me once and you will know! I don’t just walk slowly…I walk sloooooooooooooooooowly.
Over that, every few minutes, I will stop to look at the shape of some tree or some flower. I was called “gajagamini” by my friend Adlin!
Bidthoo-bidthoo:
This is one of my inherited (from my mom) weird traits. I am superstitious in a very weird way. I will stop my vehicle if a cat passes by, I never cross a pole when walking with a friend and if I stumble I will make someone hit me! But I will bend my belief to fit my convenience. If I am late, and a cat crosses my way, I will convince myself that spitting on the spot where it crossed is the antidote to the bad effect!And I say ‘touchwood’ after saying anything nice and ‘bidthoobidthoo’ after something bad!
When I was in school, I suddenly had this belief that if someone wishes you “best of luck” 5 times, you will do well in your exams/tests. In a matter of few days, the whole class would be going nuts with each other wishing “best of luck” 5 times.
About alphabets and fruits:
I relate to things by giving them a gender and certain character traits. So ‘A’ is a very good looking guy, ‘B’ his unattractive wife, ‘C’ a selfish woman, ‘D’ –her loud husband, ‘E’ and ‘F ‘–the kids of ‘C’ and ‘D’ etc. So Mango is a very proud snobbish woman and jackfruit was fat jovial man etc…
I would talk to trees, my scooty (I would apologize to it, if I braked hard), my laptop etc.
No, I am not nuts…just weird!
Daydreaming bolywood style:
My daydreaming is full of songs and dance sequences. I love listening to some hindi music and to imagine myself singing them. So if there is a song from DDLJ, I will be the one crooning with SRK not Kajol…sigh!
Love affair with inanimate things:
I am unimaginably possessive about my material things. I don’t like someone else touching my laptop…or using my comb. I never lend books or CDs. I am emotionally attached to them .They are like an extension of me-so it makes me very uncomfortable to lend my stuff. (Wouldn’t want someone else falling asleep with my book on their chest;) )
Err…I forgot your name
I can remember a whole lot of details. I can remember the lyrics if I listen to a song once
..I can remember in detail about what happened in 4th standard…and all the talk I had with Vasuki…but cant for the love of God remember where I left my keys or what the name of the lady was whom I met yesterday.
I have a problem recalling names or faces. The problem is I am day dreaming almost always. When I meet a person, I am thinking what animal this person resembles, whether tippu sultan costume would look good on him etc etc, that I fail to recall the name of the man who looks like a sickly giraffe!
I know…you all have a lot of observations about me which you think is weird but then who is to say what is considered “WEIRD”?
>I never cross a pole when walking with a friend and if I stumble I will make >someone hit me!
Can I be there the next time that happens??? Pllzzzz….
>No, I am not nuts…just weird!
Come onnnn.. You have GOT to be KIDDING!!!
>Err…I forgot your name
I do this on a regular basis… Very plausible and possible
Come on Krupa, how could you miss the most important ones?
She had this huge urge to know the sun signs of the people she meets (so that she can judge them based on their sun signs). Thank God, she has overcome that to some sensible limits! She also had a ranking mechanism for sun signs. No points for guessing that scorpio came first. Virgo was the last and Cancer was 11th I guess. I would have known the complete list, had I not pulled her leg too much and made her very defensive! 
)
1) How can Krupa’s weirdness be complete without sun signs? I bet she would have associated sun signs even with alphabets and vehicles! For a long long time, she thought that the opposite of “false” is “sun signs”
2) She has an amazing ability to convert (she calls it ‘influence’) people. You can see lot of Krupa’s friends and “fans” talking like her
I am one of the fortunate few who was not “converted” by her (though she claims that whatever good qualities I have [?!] are because of her conversion!) She is planning to sue Wachowsky brothers for the characterization of ‘Agent Smith’ 
I will stop, because she seriously believes in “Hell hath no fury than a scorpio woman scorned”!

You count your lucky stars that we are in two different continents…if not I would have strangled you!!!
Its true about the sun signs(every teenage girl indulges in that)..but I didn’t have any rating system..I just liked some sun signs and others I didn’t! I didnt like Cancer overmuch only becoz I couldnt stand you!
But this influencing nonsense is something you made up to irritate me!None of my friends behave like me and I have no “fans”!!!
You are the only person who has changed under my influence
