Honest Scrap and Tag - Combination

I have been tagged by TheUncanny - Honest Scrap and by lavanya and Jayashree - 7 things which is not known to the blogosphere.Here folks, iam combining both the tags and doing it as one.

1. I was an introvert .(includes school and professional study) Always comfortable with a small circle of friends and would be mere spectator. But, later changed myself once i came in contact with B and family who were our neighbours. (precisely after P's birth)

2. Iam extremely possessive. Lost my then best friends thrice during various stages. All due to this trait. Though it peeps at times, now i have gained control.

3. During my 3rd standard Mid term i secured low marks and i forged my paattis signature. Ennoda poraatha neram one classmate saw the process and complained to the teacher. Got a nice pinch from that teacher and her face is still fresh in my memory. Apparam enna veetukku therinju ore advice mazhaithaan(apponnu relatives ellam veetla irunthanga)

4. I lose my handkerchief invariably whenever i carry them. But my aathukarar is just opposite to me. He strictly prohibits me from taking his things especially handkeys. He treasures them.

5. I was very thin during my school days and people would literally make fun of me. There was an aunt in our family and she would be large , seeing her school photograph (where she was like a stick literally) i would wonder, how come one can grow at this rate. Now, i know the answer and desperately would like to get my then physique.

6. I went sugarless for about a month during my pregnancy period. Since i was diagnosed with gestational diabetes was on a strict diet. Its a world known fact that i have a sweet tooth. Would always take half-a-spoon extra sugar in excess of normal qty. Considering the above facts, it was a feat - sugarless milk(that was the first time i had milk-that too sugarless). Krishna sweets was just a stones throw from our home and i had to literally pass without peeping in.

7. Iam allergic to pets and not just allergy iam afraid too ( cats or dogs no partiality). During my 7 th standard my uncles family shifted and came to live as a whole joint one. They brought a Pomeranian too with them. Once we cousins along with few friends were playing in the terrace and at that time the dog came there. It came near me and avvalavuthaan i just climbed a ladder which was placed there and was screaming at the top of my voice. Angeye was standing for about 15 min till my aunt came and took the dog after scolding my cousins. And all the while they were standing and making fun of me. paavam me :(

8. I just love reading, sometimes i get so hooked to the book that i carry it along with me to the bathroom and in the pretense of having bath would sit there and read. Ennada aalaye kaanom nu yaaranum vanthu thattinaathaan kulikkanumennu nenaippe varum. Then wat, jus oru kakka kuliyal pottu vanthuduven. It continues till today ;)

9. I have travelled once from Mambalam station to Egmore in the footboard. The train was so crowded and got to be there in the client place at 9.00 , so vera vazhi theriyama took the risk. And all the while it crossed the nungambakkam bridge i was sincerely praying without looking down. Even if i think now, i shudder once. appo athu prestige issue too when travelling with friends.

10. I visit my blog atleast 10 times. Chummavaanum even i had not posted anything. So, inorder to impose self-control iam taking a small break from blogging. And this applies to posts only and not comments. This self-impossed hibernation is to regain my control and spend some quality time with P in the vacation. Would visit the blogs and comment as usual. When i return i have planned to shed my anonymity. Actually i thot of taking a break without a notice, bt then re-considered and wanted to bid you all adieu.

First story.....

Reading the title , please donot come to the conclusion that iam writing a story or something (iam not such a sadist you see, and antha kashtamellam naan thara maatten). This is just a tag and i thought of it, while telling stories to P.
Someone, either your mother or grandmother or a relative would have told you a story during your childhood. So, if you think of a story which one comes to your mind first. Please donot quote "paatti vadai sutta kathai and all". It would be better if it is unique, in some way. I think in someway or the other it would be unique, sometimes passed on from family, or may be native-oriented.....
Also, please give a brief description of the person from whom you got this story.
It would be better if you give a link in the comments section to the story, and who-ever comes across this post can take up this tag. And not a compulsory one......(compulsory irunthaathaan panna maattom). Let me , do the first one...
