One can hear a significant clickety noise as I type these days. No, the keyboard is fine .. its just that .. how can I say this .. my fingernails are long. Not too long, not so long that you will stare at them, but long enough that as I type, their edge hits the keys of the keyboard. Plus me thinks I type with my fingers making more of an angle thus the propensity of the nails to touch the keys.
If I were still in school or college .. my kabbadi teammates would have kicked me out. There were strict restrictions on the length of your nails if you played kabbadi. Many a times have guys been disallowed from practice bcos their nails were not short enough. [cut them right along the edge .. where the flesh meets the nail]. Anyways .. thing is I can't find the damn nail-cutter/clipper. We had about 3-4 of them around the house .. probably each one of us brought one .. but for the past many months we are down to a single one. Dunno where the rest went. Probably some of our friends were short of a few at their own places. Buggers.
So .. I was complaining about the missing nail-cutter, when one of my roommates said that he has one .. and made a clikety-clack noise with his teeth, smacked his lips and looked at me. *shudder*. What? he said .. I need the calcium...
I don't care .. my nails no longer make a noise.
[If he reads this .. good bye world .. his cooking turn is thursday .. so if I die of poisoning then, you know who did it.]

Posted by: Parag at August 17, 2004 09:49 AMDoes he need keratin? I need to get a hair-cut. Tell him he could even get Vitamin E as a bonus coz my shampoo is fortified with that.
Posted by: alpha at August 17, 2004 04:21 PMha ha ... i should try that next time i need a haircut!
i am still hooked on to this habit:( no sort of determination will prevent me from doing this..there will always be some meeting or deadline which will make me finish off my nails the day before...sometimes, cricket :(:(
Posted by: capriciously_me at August 18, 2004 02:42 PMHow grossly you misrepresents the above mentioned's comments. He never smacked his lips and he never asked you to eat those things.. the poor guy was giving you an alternative... and now he has to read comments about his cooking and all that... whoa.. shame on you ;) and ofcourse he read this blog.. so just wait for thursday dude... i think hez growing his nails this time... just to prove gautam right... mabbe gautam would like to come over for dinner on thursday if he could spare the time...
Posted by: at August 18, 2004 03:04 PMOhh well...I guess the nail-cutter is for the disciplined one! For those who are not regular, canines prove to be the best tool :) Time and again it has helped me at the nth moment..Infact I even file them to make them smooth using my front teeth!! :))) Beat that.... ;-)
