Hiphopgmom tagged me a few days ago to write about 7 weird things about me. I could think of a few but 7?? Well, I decided not to wait till I could get all 7 so here goes.
1) As a kid I did a couple of things that would definitely qualify as "weird". After every visit to the bathroom I'd not only wash my hands with soap but also the tap, the wash-basin and (believe it or not!)the soap itself!!
2)After taking out toothpaste on my toothbrush, I'd fill the cap of the paste with water and then close the tube. So the next time anyone unscrewed the tube, he'd get watery toothpaste...!! Used to drive my brother mad with that!!
3)Now, as an adult I occasionally remember very old songs, complete with the lyrics and the melody not only of the opening lines but also the stanzas. These are not popular or famous old songs, they're from some B-grade, long forgotten movies that I've never heard in the last 15-20 years and I'm sure even the singers / actors/composers must not remember! How's that for weird?
4)I love people-watching. If I'm waiting in line somewhere or in a crowded place with time to spare, I'll start looking at people and think about what his/her life would be like? Is he in love? Did she just fight with her sis? Are this couple going to get married soon? Is that old lady missing her children/grandchildren? I wonder how it'd be to spend one day following one of them invisibly and observing their life, specially people who're culturally different from me.
OK, let's see. That's 4 things. I still can't think of any more..so I'll leave that to my readers who know me...I'd like you to tell me what you think is weird about me. (Now that surely will be interesting!)

I am aware of the one time you threw a fit when you couldnt dance to some hindi song (that was playing on the radio), bcos someone switched it off. :)
Then again you were a kid. But I thought you were funny :)
Hey, when was this? And where?
I vaguely remember ... this was when you and your mom were visiting us, way back, when we were in thane.
well tried and some of them like washing the soap was the crown.
well I share your fourth weird thing..you know watching people..and believe it or not..my husband finds it very annoying..according to him..people here consider it rude to be stared at..:).
Weird thing #4 tells me you will make a very good writer. Are you published yet?
If people-watching counts as weird, ... I'm a weirdo too! 8-|
