now am broadening the usage of quirks to include our habits, likings, dislikings which might well not necessarily be normal to all but are part of our lives and makes us wat we are.... ok now since this has opened a pandora's box and can include anything about anyone i know... will start with some quirks of some of my friends and then will end with mine... haha feeble attempt to keep u with me till the end.. :)
one habit of shilpa which i used to hate was her being an early riser.. man she used to be up and running at 6 am everyday of the weeek... yes includes weekends too... man... did that piss me ??? and just coz she was up .. it was her business to attempt to wake me up to give her company with the morning cuppa tea... well u live and learn... end result - my brain does not function unless i have my morning tea now.... ! :)
nisha and her refusal to wear skirts... well this is still something i have not been sucessful in turning around... now isn't it a disgrace to mankind whr this beautiful, tall attractive " chick " :) .. ((ok am gonna be slaughtered for the use of this word... )) has banished this very garment from her wardrobe... ! this sure grinds my gears !!
neetu and her consistent failure with directions .... she must have come to our place in Koramangala like some 1000 times.. and would still always ensure that she is lost each and everytime... !! and am not even exaggerating here.... so invariably we ensured our mobiles were handy and free when we were expecting neetu to come by..... !
aditi - ... she might be surprised when she reads this .. but its not something which is particularly annoying but nevertheless something she does consistently... dunno if its changed now.... she would always lock her fingers and keep playing with them while reading any important mail.. and keep doing the same till she finally hit the Sent button... !!!! that reminds me of so many memorable moments at the sarjapur office mulling over escalation emails and comtemplating replies.... the coffee breaks, the gossip/ bitch sessions, random team meetings whr nisha, aditi and myself would discuss matters of national importance!!!! haha we know better!
Tina and her insistence to only have rum and that too " Old Monk" and coke.... we sure had to stock up on that at our place ... not the best idea to be venturing for that at 2 am on the streets of bangalore u see.... ! oh i used to pain her as well by insisting to have "Golconda wine" whenever at her place...should thank raja for being a sweetheart and ensuring that the glass was always full... :)
vaishali - my roomate for a yr in J P nagar , bangalore and well her sunday night dinner idea of having DBC .. bangaloreans know what am talking about _ Death By Chocolate at Corner House ... sure can attribute lots of extra pounds of weight on me to that !!!! boy... was that yummy or wat .... !!! makes u a greedy person.... ! :)
ok this is not an exhaustive list of my close friends.. but some of the things which i remember and bring back all memories of four years spent in bangalore... sure did not seem that long then.... !
ok .. so now to my quirks which am sure annoy others... and i can bet on this that this list can go on forever.... am sure all friends mentioned above would love to add to the same..... ! but since they are not.. will make their job tad easier .... i can get really nasty if someone wakes me up on weekend mornings, it has to be purely my decision to wake up anytime i want to , my plans work around whenever i wake up ... not the other way around... ; if left to make a decision regarding where and what to eat for dinner, my answer is always " anything" but eventually i end up rejecting most of the suggestions ... so the choice becomes even more difficult.... ; am a bully when in the mood to play cards.. esp flash ; can be all geared up to spend a day shopping with the girls and when we get to the mall i loose my interest and can be a nag and want to make some other plans... usually which would involve either hitting a pub or watching a movie at the theatre ... ; my ability to never travel light .... shilpa has been the worst affected by this during the shillong trip and the more recent europe trip ;... list can go on forever.... unable to add more at the moment....
additions to this are more than welcome... and feel free to add in comments :)
PS- am working on these and promise to be a better person when i meet you all next .... !

Monu some more to list for u :-)
1. Ability to almost always make plans of watching a zillion movies and then sleep thru the entire weekend!
2. Fight with the auto guys on the shortest route possible - u almost had the bangalore ki galliyon ka map in ur head
3. Tell me ur going to grow ur hair and then cut it the very next day ( its happened each and every time :))
some more... now that I have ur permission
4. Your inability to communicate with any maid we had... remember the one who spoilt only ur clothes, with colour running all over them!!
5. Get into the mood of cleaning ur cupboard... lose interest mid way,and hence make your entire room messy as a result...
6. Oh yes and how can I forget that u were petrified of my harmless little turtles....hehhe.. I remember how scared u were when I left them and u and travelled for like 10 days.....
Btw i was playing with my fingers till the time i read about myself :(
Ok my 2 cents to mady:
1. Wen she grows her nails and never in shape!
2. This one is not irritating, but very funny tho - wen she makes such pathetic silly excuses. Best one till now being 'system generated mail' :)))))
3. Your big blue fast track watch! do u still wear it??
4. Art of opening a wine bottle without a wine opener....Im amazed we are still alive!
yes adi...thats the only watch i own and i love... btw i hardly wear the watch now.. ! :)
and thanks for bringing up the art of opening wine bottle w/o opener... will have to dedicate a post to that and educate others ... applied innovation at its best!!! :))
