Watching the show Monk regularly made me realize something. I have something in common with Mr.Monk. OCD - Obsessive compulsive disorder, only that I don't consider this as a disorder. I just wonder why the other people don't have these obsessions. When tedka tagged me to write down 5 addictions of life, I was thinking for a few days. I couldn't get passed my #1 addicition in life and this might be the strangest - obsession.
My obsessions include
- obsession for zeros - money in bank need to be like 1000, 1500 etc. I hate to have 1513.12 left in my account, I have to rearrange it so that it becomes filled with zeroes.
- obsession to keep doing some trivial tasks like correcting mp3 tags of my 12GB song collection, arranging my photo albums. I know everone does this, but only that I can't stop till wifey points out the time I have been doing this.
- obsession for researching and experimenting with my gadgets - Any new item I buy (sometimes even old ones I just pick up), I can't help but keep exploring it. Be it tearing apart old laptops, reinstalling OS or experimenting with my latest obsessions - my new camera, Amazon Kindle or iPhone3G and all the iPhone Apps.
- and many many more........
So much about my OCD, back to the list. My top 5 addictions of life
- Obsession
- Good Food - If I start listing them one by one, you will be reading this for days. But let's just say, I love good food.
- Big Picture - Most people who have worked with me have one big complaint - This guy asks too many questions. I love to get the big picture of things, even though it is none of my business.
- Seinfeld - TV Sitcoms in general like Everbody loves Raymond, Friends and reality shows like Survivor, Amazing race is in the list. But Seinfeld has a special place - I cannot switch channels when that guy is on TV, even though I have watched that episode n times and even though I have the complete DVD set with me.
- Science Fiction / Fantasy movies & novels - From an oscar worthy Lord of the rings to the vampire flicks like Underworld, from science fiction classics like Bladerunner to stupid movies like Aeon Flux, I can't help it, I have to watch it.

Psst Aneesh I think the whole concept of tags was started with the intention of blogrolling - so you might want to link the guys you tagged - its a kind of publicity stunt. And its not spam so no question of forwarding.
And I like your obsession list- looks like your obsessions give you all the knowledge you will need!
Done deal. Put the links to keep the blogrolling.
Dude does your obsession includes obsessive blogging :-)
