You think You know me ?

We all, at some level or the other, suffer from OCD. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. That's my belief. Or atleast that's my justification for some of the stunts I pull. While the name is self-explanatory, the boundaries are not so well defined, I feel. Because it doesn't just stop at constantly checking to see if you locked the door or to keep washing your hands. It extends across a far larger realm, into areas of our lives we never considered. The superstitious beliefs we need to do for our own confidence, the song we just have to listen to to get pumped up..even the simple "touchwood" can become a contagious OCD, can't it ? And it's not a 'forever' symptom either, now. It may just be the need of the moment, a nagging feeling to just keep doing something, even though there seems to be no rationale or motivation.Of course, for me, presently, it's a far lesser compulsion...but an annoying one nonetheless. I keep wanting to modify my damn ORKUT PROFILE !!!! I want to add more crap to the already glowing tribute I'm giving myself. So I got around to thinking and I decided I'll just put down my actual profile here and be done with it once and for all. Atleast while the compulsion still exists.So,in all humbleness, here's the "DIRECTOR'S CUT" Orkut profile about me.

• Several paraphenomenon experts have tried, and failed, to decipher my unique aura.
• I taught Linda Goodman to read star signs, Hulk Hogan to tear his top, Kenny G to sax, salmons to swim upstream and Aishwarya Rai to act - it is true, you can't win them all.

Whew!! It is such a relief to get that off my chest. They're right, you know. THE TRUTH DOES SET YOU FREE!! So much better than 25/M/INDIA.
P.S. While these are my own variations, I cannot deny that I was inspired by an absolutely lovely article called "THE WONDER YEARS" that I read more than half a decade ago which was the first story, I believe, in "Chicken Soup for the College Soul" ( I'm 80 % sure it was College soul. If anyone knows any different, feel free to correct me. Like I care. ).Anyway, if you get a chance, do read that article. Till then..well, don't you wanna attain Nirvana & Enlightenment ?
