The otherside of me...!

Generally,I don't follow the TAG rules.If I get tagged I ignore it.But this friend of mine made it really interesting for me and I took it up.Again,not following all the rules he put forth (he knows me too well to stop me from doing it) but, I'm following only first 3 of the 5 rules,which are,
  1. Link the person who tagged you
  2. Mention the rules on your blog
  3. Tell 6 unspectacular quirks of yours

Here I am,unfolding the other side of me before you all :

1. Maintenance (Housekeeping):I'm very particular about this one.I don't like things being moved to other place. If I keep the masala (spice) box on the right side of the stove,it should always be kept there though I don't have a reason why shouldn't it be moved.

2. Buying Pickles: I have to buy a bottle of pickle every time I go out for grocery shopping.We replaced our refrigerator with a 340 Lt one as the place was not sufficient inside and now other than the vegetable and fruit cabinets,rest is taken over by bottle of pickles.

3. Correcting people: I have this tendency to correct people if they use wrong pronounciations or make wrong sentences (be it in any language,as long as I know I correct them).It's not that I'm perfect but if I notice somebody is not,then I get to them(to be precise, I get on their nerves).Most of the time,it's my hubby and I wonder why he speaks very less of late.I even corrected a sales girl at this shop when she was mispronouncing 'lingerie'.

4. Flair for change : Except for friends and family,I like to keep changing most of the things.I keep changing not only my hairdo,wardrobe,cell phones and also email IDs,blog addresses,telephone numbers.Yeah,it sounds crazy but it's true.

5. Pre-requisite to reading : Before I take up a book for reading,I need to have a bookmark handy.I buy more number bookmarks than the books.I hate when people fold the corner of the page to mark where they left it at.So I pick up a bookmark and then look for what I want to read.There were times,when I was at college my friends used to gift me with dozens of bookmarks on all the occasions.I must admit most of them were unique and artistic and I still have them all.

6. Setting the clock : I set all my clocks ahead of time but not to the same time. The difference in time should be at least 5 mins from one clock to another.I know it's insane but that makes me feel I still have time to get ready or complete my work.My kitchen,living room,bed room,study room and my wrist watch all are set to different time and so is the clock on my computer.I even remember setting it to a different time zone on my system to check how funny could it get.My friends found me funnier than what I felt about my own act.

It's only so much so far(to disclose) and I'm glad this friend of mine limited writing to only 6 of them.Otherwise I wouldn't have had any other side but this one :)
