One more tag by Dinesh Babu, which was a very long time back in wonderland, but, now that I have space for them, I am on a roll, I say!
So, 18000 RPM has asked me to list 6 quirks of mine! Say, what is with all of you and my quirks? I am not quirky!
a.I could finish an entire pack of Milk Bikis – with Tea.. In fact the same quirk no.1 as Dinesh’s, only difference, if at all, is I used to do that until recently. Even now, if you give me Milk Bikis, I bite the edges first or dip it in tea until it’s so soft it will fall off and then burn my tongue trying to eat it, but, “Is it yummy or is it yummy!?!” “It is yummy, i say”!
b. Sometimes, when no one is looking, I play ‘Tic Tac Toe’ on the tiles in my house – cris-crossing and counting the number of tiles, and attempting to be lost deep in thought calculating the number of tiles in my house based on the number in the living room!
c. I count steps while climbing them, specially in a new house or a new hotel. I count to see if there are an odd number or an even number.
d. Once I went on stage to do mimicry. I did a mimicry of a ‘Akbar – Birbal’ story. The left of the mike was Akbar, and the right side was ‘Birbal’. This was when I was in class eight. Some people say I am capable of doing something like that even now. I think there would be a slight improvisation in the script.
e. I think ‘S’ is an extremely popular letter for names. Many people I know have names starting with S. Is that a quirk, I don’t know.
f. Most answers of mine start with, “I dunno” followed by a detailed explanation that in retrospect doesn’t make much sense about why I don’t know!
18000 RPM – thalaiva!! This should do. As it is, this blog is beginning to bring out too much information about me to this Anonymous world.
One more tag, done! Wooooohoooo!!!
Ta!




Tic Tac Toe is really quirky. I used to try and derive aspect ratios whenever i see small square tiles. I count 16 squares across and 9 down to visualize a widescreen 16:9 aspect ration. It is kinda fun and sometimes tells me how bored I am.

Milk Bikis & Tea!…you reminded me of the days when I used to ’steal’ the Bikis from the kitchen before my big bro could do that
I also posted something like “weirdest thing about me”…it’s amusing isn’t it to talk quirky…but why? Hmm ‘I dunno’
You tell.

@Dinesh Babu – Hehehe!! I like to call it my mathematical prowess!! Its super fun, but only when you play alone.
@A – Amusing & Enlightening! I did not realize I had so many quirks!! & I have a few more, which will stay with me!!
Lot of reasons that I start with ‘I dunno’ – one is truth – I really don’t know! But then i start to think about it and then, as I think, I understand something… something like that i guess.. I dunno!

Count the number of steps…well what diff if it were even or odd? Any significance?
So how many more tags left?
