Observation (ya Obsession!?)

Each individual is different. Everybody is one of their kinds. There might be some similarities in the thinking and behaviour but still they are different. From phrenology to psychology the reason for this difference is still muddy. Anyway Individualism is not the cornerstone of this article! The point I want to make here is even I am one of my kind!!! And sometimes I find myself being silly but you know some obsessions you really can’t help!!!
I had/ have this weird habit of observing people’s palm!!! Not because I am interested in ‘Palmistry’ and also I know that palm is composed of small bones and there are nearly 14 bones(is it really 14 bones? Correct me if am wrong!) joined together which give shape to the palm . It’s just a habit. Believe me am so good at it (LOL)! Bet you, I can recognize you only by seeing your palm if you are not a stranger!!
Now....the whole reason for writing this – I just want to get rid of the thoughts related to this palm observation. Is it a psychological disorder??Any psychologists there? I have seen people observing others foot, eyes, nose, hair, walking style, talking style what not!! So I don’t think this palm observing job is harmful ;) Okay....enough of theory let’s talk about practical examples of some interesting palms!!
During my childhood I used to observe my cousin’s palms. She has got really neat and long fingers which gives glamour to every action her hand performs!! And as a child I used to dream about having such palms! I even thought that, it is such an asset and I am not fortunate enough to have it (I repeat as a child I had such feeling!) I don’t like my palms still I love them because they are mine ;). I was thinking that I like only long skinny fingers until I met this friend of mine whose hands are really soft like cotton and surprisingly they are not long and skinny but still I admired it ! We used to tease her that ‘don’t shake hands with anyone’ ;) (Note: those hands can draw unbelievable pictures! And now you know who this buddy is ;)).
Recently I came across with an interesting palm which belong to one of my colleagues (related person - please don’t be mad at me!). This palm is kind of childish (I mean baccho jaise: P) but it is cute (especially when it is typing). It has got this innocent look and I guess that’s why it caught my attention (I like innocent things/beings! ...).
In my life I have met more interesting palms but now I am running short of words and time to give details about all of them. So I am giving a full stop to ‘Palm Description’.

PS: This palm observation includes all the categories.. child ya old, female ya male, there is no barrier! :p

  1. Though I have read each and every post here, this is the first one that actually compelled me to comment. The person whose "childish" (would have prefered the word childlike instead) hands have been described here is too cool to mind. In fact, the hands in question are so thrilled, thanks to this post, that they are doing the "happy hand dance"! :)

    I am sure there is nothing wrong in observing people and noticing the seemingly unnoticeable things about them. I think its weird if you dont have such quirks and whims and fancies.

    However, observing your colleagues' palms when they are busy chatting during office hours and managing 10 chats at the same time, can embarrass if not offend them.

    On a completely unrelated note, I think my comment here is longer than most of your posts! :)

  2. Thanks for the kindly posted comment PSB :)

    The intention was, to personify the 'Palm' which gave fodder for thought! I understand that the ending 'ish' in the word 'Childish' has unfavourable connotation!! But thought that 'ish' suits better than 'like' for a naughty palm ;);)
