Dividing people on behavioural lines

Many people in the world we brush across, we dont form any opinion but when we do, we are bound to classify them as different types. Even for a person who dislikes to form opinions, like me, you cant help not classifying them.

In the last 2 years especially, Ive stumbled across diverse kinds of people. I would like to share 10 types of people who have strongly imprinted themselves in my mind.....

1. Mr.Know all who keeps mum

Everyone must have come across him.He works hard and hardly talks. The bookish type who wants himself to be projected that way. Always technically correct.

2. Flashers

The kind of people I H-A-T-E. The problem is that such people think that they are knowledgeable but their knowledge is confined to books. Never know practicality. They flash their knowledge at chottus at every chance and feel elated. Mr. Preface reader and Ms.Volatility are such kind.

3. Silent and Self-Centered

They are silent and unsocialising with ears all over the place. Remembers every word you wrongly uttered with him around the place. Latent inferiority complex reason their behavior. Tries to grab the attention with lousy techniques such as making gruntling sounds or raising others mistakes however small it might be in public. Do their work and they are pleased but do your work well and they are intimidated.

4. Showstopper

Whichever team he is, slips into irritation mode quite easily. Not only they don't work but they are speed breakers to others work too.(I'll never forget my FILING experience guys). Is completely inefficient and uncooperative.They are best suited for our opposing team.

5. The Self-centered unrepentant

They are not show stoppers but a slightly civilised version of them. They are unrepentant of their mistakes and are selfish beyond compare. Many say being selfish is allright in today's world. Oh Yeah? I disagree slightly! Be self centred to the extent others are not affected wrongly.You know it by observing the way they interact. 'They want you and you must help and they do not want you and you must disappear' kind of thinkers.

6. Mr. Pokeynose

He is the one we are most familiar with. Minds others business more than his. Ready to pour out Gyan at the drop of a hat. Such behaviour is fuelled by either by curiousity or lack of self confidence. I don think i need to elaborate on them.

7. The gossiper

Another familiar face. Mr.G has a huge inclination for being in the thick of action. Spreads information like a radio. Just being THE source gives him the kick to continue his behaviour. Once you see through his bluffs, he can be extremely entertaining with his antics. In fact, you can even enjoy his imagination in passing on incomplete information as complete ones.

8.Mr.Perfect

People with inhuman sense of perfection. Has extreme efficiency at whatever he does. Never gets bored of routine. I personally admire such people (I`ve met just 1 such person till date). Works with clockwork precision and obviously their result speaks for them.

9.The Diplomat

Diplomat one who refuses to take sides / give opinions. Being a diplomat is not much fun since once you've taken a neutral stand you don't want to involve yourself at all. Being a diplomat robs you of the thrill of being a part of an issue. But its advantage in being so is that no one comes to you for opinions or asks you any decision making queries since they know nothing fruitful will emerge from questioning you. A perfect hat for an escapist.

10.Namma mamaas

The moment you see these kind of people you get an affinity towards them. Do not bother about mistakes and take things lightly. Never bound by books. their energy level is visible only when they are in a group.They enjoy being in a herd and are marked by loads of impatience. Give them a group goal and it is as good as done.

Koundamani and IPL - A 'Rai'al connection

This is a damn late post to be in my blog but you shall have to read my ramblings.
Go on...


LAST YEAR IPL Chennai had a hot news - Lakshmi Rai Dating Dhoni

You know what irks me? It is not that she (whose only real calling card is that her name is somewhat phonetically related to Aishwarya Rai) is dating him or anything. But that this report calls her a “popular South Indian actress“. Enna koduma sir idu!!!

Reminds me of Koundamani yet again: “மூணு வீலும் ஒரு தார்பாலினும் இருந்தா நீ ஓனரா? படுவா, அப்போ டாட்டா பிர்லா-வல்லாம் என்னடா சொல்லுவீங்க?”

Incredible India
