my OCDs.... :P

The phrase "Obsessive-Compulsive" has become part of the English lexicon, and is often used in an informal or caricatured manner to describe someone who is meticulous, perfectionistic, absorbed in a cause, or otherwise fixated on something or someone.

Well well… I have got this HUGE list of these crazy little OCD like syndromes…. Although some of it is totally stupid and illogical…. :P here I go…

1. SPILLING - I’m reeeally reeeally “FUSSY” about people eating in my room… especially on my bed… so I ask them to either eat outside and come in… :D OR… they SHOULD have a plate or something while they eat… cos u’ve no idea how IRRITATED I get even a small tiny piece of biscuit falls on my bed!!! And when it comes to drinking coffee or tea… I get reeally tensed and keep watchin out for when they’re gonna spill it n’ get ON to my nerves… :P

2. CHECKING – when ever I’m going for some important thingy… like an exam / interview etc… I check my bag a 100 times… again and again…. If all the necessary certificates, documents etc. are there… even while walkin to the examination hall / wat eva… I keep opening my bag every 2 mins and see.. ALTHOUGH I know NO WAY its gonna disappear!!! :D

3. CASH – everytime I’m carrying loadsa loose cash in my pocket… I touch it every 2 mins to check if its there… :D EVEN if I’m riding a bike…

4. THINGS in PLACE – hmm… there are certain things in my room… which SHOULD not only remain in the same place… but also in the EXACT SAME position and angle… :P once my friend took the clock from my table… and kept it back… & immediately I reached out to it.. and turned it to the exact same angle!

5. WIPING – I’ve got this OCD of wiping my specs lens…and my mobile screen… AGAIN and AGAIN… even one small speck or dirt or fingerprint in one corner… I take it and wipe it like its not been wiped for months… :D

6. BED – my pillows… and bed sheet… should be un-crumpled and neat… and bed sheet always folded neat if not in use… I HAAATE it.. wen guys come to my room and just “man-handle” the pillows… and keep their legs on the bed without dusting them! :P

7. WALLET – I can’t stand when people handle rupee notes like a bitch… :P all crumpled and folded a 100times… stuffed in their handbags/pockets… All the notes in my wallet… should be un-folded… and face-up… arranged in increasing order of size!!!

I guess there are a few more… managed to recollect only these now… :)

dogs - definitely not MY best friend.....

about 2 yrs back..... I had gone to a friend's house.... and one thing I always ask people when I'm going to their house for the 1st time... is "do u have a dog?"!! :) and so.... I went to this friend's place... and when I enter the hall I see this FRRRREEEAAAKKKIN HUGE Great Dane... Black... and about 5ft plus long... and definitely heavier than me....

and my friend says "Don't be scared... it is just a BABY"!!! while I was almost peeing in my pants...

DOGS - somehow I can't like them.... right from childhood... and people who've got pets fail to realise that when I tell them... they think i'm 'being stupid' when I ask them to take away their dog... hellloooooo!!! EXCUSE ME!! when people can be scared of creepy crawly creatures like cockroaches, lizards.. and even things like 'darkness'... why not dogs?!

many years back... think i was 12 or 13... i was walking at around 7pm in my street... this lady was takin her Alsatian for a walk... n' it suddenly starts running towards me... makin funny noises!!! :O i FREAKED out... ran into some house and closed the gate.... :P

again.... during my 12th std.... i used to go for these early morn classes at 5:30.... when i get out of my house gate at 5:15am... atleast 5 stray dogs would come behind me... barking.... :-| so what i did?! - i used to pick up a few stones before i left home... :P and just throw them on the ground when the dogs neared me!! :)

and even now... for the past 4 yrs... when i go to buy puffs from my hostel store... a bunch of dogs keep following me... hopin u'd give them some!!! i'm sooo scared... that i put the puffs in a plastic cover... keep it in my pocket... and open them and eat it inside hostel! :)

now to all Dog lovers - I DON'T HATE dogs!! I aint 'insensitive' or anythin... i also do find puppies cute n' stuff... its just that I don't say it the way you girls do "its soooooo Cuuuuuttee"!!! :P I'm just not for the concept of considering it "Man's best friend"!!!

I just like "seeing" them and commenting.... either on the road... at the zoo or some1's house... or on Animal Planet.... :) NOOO WAY I'll go and HUG it n' kiss it n' allow it to lick me n' stuff!!

and about maintaining it.... i feel its such a menace!! if at all I'm gonna be cleaning some1 else's shit... it would only be my kid's... definitely not a dog's!!

I'm Sorry... but I'm DEFINITELY not 'for' "inter-species" relationships....


Love THY species!!! :)

Censored!!!! :P


why?! Why is that our Indian movies don't show sex or nudity? this has been a popular topic of debate.... and I'm sure there have been hundreds on articles on this... and the most common cliched answer "its not Indian culture"!!!!! :P

and yet... we've ppl fuckin around in the country..... and WE, have crossed a BILLION!!!!

AMAZING aint it??!! that the citizens of the birthplace of the Kama Sutra.... don't show... or are rather 'scared' to show sex in Indian cinema!!! WHY??!!! or even for that matter... openly talk about sex to ppl....

we hypocrites call the Americans "un-cultured"... "Americans have no culture".... well well... American movies show sex... and yet... a nation 3 times bigger than ours.. has a population one third ours... and a MUCH MUCH MUCH lower number of AIDS patients!!!!

a question to parents here:
how many of u suddenly change the channel... when some koochi-koochi scene appears on TV... while watchin a movie with family?! now... STOP doing that!! DON'T fuckin HIDE anythin from ur kid from day 1.... u think u're being "smart" and we kids don't understand anythin wen u do such things?! NOPE!!! not at all....

coming back to the main topic.... some insight into ancient Indian ART!!!!

now Mr. Uma Maheswara here holding Tara's boob, is a "work of art"..... BUT if twas some Tera Patrick and Ted Mosby... it becomes "pornography"??!!! WTF? :O

so why don't u stop takin the kids to temples?!

or why don't the shitty groups which blindly oppose 'sex on the screen', have these demolished?!

the technology then.... was painting and sculptures.... n' we had such "works of art"!!!! and today... technology is Video cameras... movies.... and Internet.... and the same 'works of art' portrayed on this media becomes "cultural degradation"??!!

its high time we people stopped acting!! that's all I can say!!

People SUCK!!

CULTURE SHOCK!!!!

It was about few months ago, my friend and I were travelling standing in a crowded train engrossed in a discussion about a certain topic. Owing to the noise due to the train and the other passengers, there was a necessity to raise our volume while talking. And when I mentioned the word “SEX” and “PROSTITUTION”, a dozen passengers around me turned and gazed, giving me the look that people would to a criminal being paraded on the streets to the guillotine.
WHY? Why is ‘SEX’ such a taboo in our country? Well the most common reply or justification I come across is “it is against Indian culture…. immoral… un-ethical” and so on. Let me now take you back in time, not just a few decades or centuries, but a few millenniums, to the period of the Mahabharata – the Great Indian Epic. I wish to go into certain aspects of the Mahabharata by citing a few examples, which the society tends to neglect or rather ignore.
What were you taught as a kid by your grandparents about Mahabharata? “Kunti learnt this magical or rather special ‘mantra’ by which she could invoke upon any God of her choice and obtain a child through that God’s grace” Now wait a minute!! This might have been funny and interesting back then when you were 5 or 6 years old. But we all know what it means – Kunti could just call upon any God and have sex with him!!! SIMPLE!! And she just “played around” with Surya (Sun God) and gave birth to Karna. Later, after marrying Pandu, she called upon Yama, Vayu and Indra to give birth to Yudhishtra, Bheema and Arjuna respectively.
Pandu asked Kunti to teach Madri this mantra so that she could also have kids (Pandu’s sons). Madri, after learning it, called upon the ‘Ashwini twins’ – an AWESOME THREESOME it was!! And Nakula and Sahadeva were born!!
“I am the son of Pandu, born of Kunti through the ‘grace’ of Lord Indra” says Arjuna proudly in the Mahabharata – the Great Indian epic. Now, the word ‘grace’ – what does it exactly mean? SEX is the bloody answer!!
During that period, whenever there was a problem in a King’s family and the Queen(s) could not conceive, the solution was “Call Maharishi Veda Vyasa”. Apparently this holy sage could set things right though his ‘grace’!! He, according to me was not only immortal as people say, but also the most potent man in history. He is the biological father of half the people in the Mahabharata, including Pandu, Dhridhrashtra and Vidura.
Have you heard of anyone who takes a vow of celibacy for the sexual desire of his father? Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it?! But BHEESHMA the Great One was bestowed upon by the celestials from heaven for his godly act of giving up his throne and taking a celibacy vow for his father’s sexual desire.
The Pandavas – five brothers who shared the same woman!! they had a deal among themselves that if any of the brothers happened to see another brother in privacy with Draupadi, he would go on a 12 year exile and take a celibacy vow!! Now what does celibacy exactly mean? “sexual abstinence”.
But according to Arjuna, celibacy in this vow just means ‘sexual abstinence from Draupadi’!!
Arjuna once happened to see Yudhistra and Draupadi in privacy, and had to go on the 12 year exile and remain in celibacy for the entire period. Soon after he begins his exile, a woman in a forest approaches Arjuna and tells him “I have come under the spell of Kama deva as soon as I saw you. Let me give myself to you”. And our man here says “I shall remain with you until a son is born of you and then leave”!!! Basically this woman here means “You’re turning me ON! Lets DO IT”!! and during this 12 year exile, where ever Arjuna went, he ventured into similar acts.
And in Indraloka – the kingdom of Indra, there were scores of Apsaras – girls who were dancers cum prostitutes, who took pride in their profession. Urvashi, one of the most beautiful Apsaras, was very upset because she wanted to please Arjuna and he refused.
AMAZING isn’t it?? THIS… THIS was ancient Indian culture dear people!!! I can go on and on citing more examples but I guess it might get too long and boring.
Why is it that now we people talk of ‘culture’ issues when it comes to pre-marital relationships, dating etc.??!! Why has Prostitution become ‘wrong’ or ‘illegal’??!!
THINK!!! Please do not “blindly oppose/condemn” things and give them some thought.
