1. Running away from the Bulb after changing it and switching it for the first time.(Always afraid it would burst)
2. Washing everything including Rupee note in the Pocket after having a Hair-cut.

I always run away from a new bulb(both Tube-light and Bulb) after I have changed it and switching it for the first time. I tried to reason it out but I couldnt help from it. The subsequent switch-ons doesnt bother me. But the first time I switch on the Bulb, I invariably show my back to the bulb or I stand in such a place, so that even if the bulb brusts, the pieces will not hit me. Obsessive compulsory fear of new bulbs.

Also, I always wash(atleast sprinkle enough water to make it wet) everything including rupee note and newspapers after I have given a Hair-cut in a salon. I wash my wallet, leather floaters etc., I dont know why but I feel uncomfortable if I dont wash them.

May be this is because I have got so used to such system in my house(orthodox Tam Bram) but still I havent changed even after staying out of home for past 8 years- right from my 11th standard. Still continues.. Is this that is called in tamil "Thottil Pazhakkam Sudukhadu Varaikkum"?
