Over the years, insane people have ruled the world and through their insanity, proven to the rest of us that we were extremely lucky to be born and raised the way we were. But before we start rejoicing and gulping down tequila shots and raising toasts to our sanity, we should stop and consider the six signs of insanity that are not always apparent. 
You know you are insane if you display -
1. An excessive desire to smile broadly to yourself in public. But beware, this could also mean that you are in love, as I discovered after a rather surreal weekend.
2. A tendency to stare at people for a long time, with no visible change in your expression other than winking at the person from time to time and wrinkling your nose at an imaginary stench until the person who’s being stared at either slaps you or walks away disgusted.
3. A burning desire to hum the tunes from the movie Speed whenever you are in the elevator, irrespective of whether there are other people around you.
4. A habit of picking both nostrils at once when in a dinner and holding your fingers in there while sucking the strands of noodles.
5. A lack of common sense when talking to someone from whom you need a favor and repeatedly threaten him/her that you will steal their underwear the next time he/she is sleeping.
6. Your private parts in public.
Judge yourself. Are you sane?

And just to state an obvious fact, “Apu pass ho gayi! Apu pass ho gayi!”
@Chakoli
Haha! I guess you’re sane… Very sane… And sometimes, it takes one to know one! Go figure!
@Mystiquedew
Hehehehe!!!
I won’t walk away!
Oh! I think I am sane enough for my opinion. LOL

I always thought I was insane, but according to your list I only qualify point no. 1
Hey, maybe u could expand the list… i’m losing my belief in myself here

Thankfully
I got certified as SANE…

@Dinu: Ya… even I think so…
@Nik: hmmmm…. is it true?
(who is it? 
)
And the second one was insane..! Oh did I say insane?
And BTW nice post..
Yikes!!!! No. 1 sounds a lot like me!!! Did I inspire that one huh?:-P
@Smallstar
Haha! Good for you!
@Perx
At some point, all of us are insane! Expanding the list would dilute the effect, man!
@Raji
Haha! Thanks!
@Chakoli
Hahahahaha!!!! Good to know!
@Joel
No, man!! It’s writter in public interest!! No one’s been epitomized here!
@Bina
No No!! It’s not!! Trust me, it’s been lying in my drafts much before you displayed Point 1 today!
What about you? Eheh *curious look*
@Smallstar
Guilty on all counts!
aye on 1 &2 and a little bit of 3…i don’t hum speed
lol 4 sounds a good idea…will try it…
Guilty on ALL counts????? Really????
Am I sane? very! Except for the second point!
So tell me doctor, is it contagious? Can you spread it by, say, posting on a blog?

@Vishesh
hahahahaha!!!! All the best!
@Aparna
Shhh… I’m only kidding… You know me better…
@Balu
hahaha! Aren’t we all?
@Quirky Indian
It depends, my son. It all depends on will power and how hot the noodles are!
@Nikhil: ahah very interesting, mannn!!!
@Nikhil
Is it like you have to have ALL the traits or just any one?
Cos I don’t have the last two
*I Sigh with relief* am sane
I was almost worried that I might not be
@S
Everyone is insane. We just have to accept it. Insanity is a birth-right!
What do you say Nikhil?
Guilty on count 1 &2
BTW Talking to self is sane???
1. Arent u doing the same thing in the pic in ur blog?
So r u ….?
//A burning desire to hum the tunes from the movie Speed// :O :O i didnt know Speed had any hummable tracks!!! there was just this background music!! Now thats really insane
Private parts and nostrils, not so much.
Other things, I qualify.
How about the urge to slap a colleague because he bought the last Snickers bar at the vending machine? Or is that just anger management?
EEEOoooowwww!!! No Ways man!! Bet, some how all these points resemble to you, don’t they?
Nikhil:
I am not Sane, but a friend of mine is and he spells it ‘Sen’..
I guess different people have different things which will qualify them to be insane and I confess I share you number 1. I have this insane smile on my face too often and my husband has to tell me: you’re smiling!!
And as to some other aspects of my insanity I feel a little shy to share…!
@S
And also talking to dolls classifies you as insane (Referring to American Pie – 3: at the bachelor party). 
Yes. Talking to yourself is insane. But only if you are saying to yourself-”You are the best. Don’t worry. Kill everyone else who thinks he is the best. Muahahaha.”
Knock Knock
who’s there.
I am in.
In where?
Insane.
I was sane enough to start reading this post and have become insane enough to try all the signs
@Smallstar
Yes, it is, isn’t it?
@Anniyan
Are you sure you don’t have the last two? Coz those are the two most common things around!
And yes, it is a birth-right, many a time, a constitutional right as well!
@ S
Hahaha! How can you doubt yourself??
Talking to one self isn’t insane.. It’s depressing!
@Reema
Yeah! I am!! Which is why I want to see how many other people are in my club!
And yes, thats the tune I’m talking about!
@Deepu
Anger management has various levels of architecture…
@Deeps
Yes!! They do!
@Shefaly
Hahaha! So, guilty on all counts, are you?
@Nita
Hahahaha!!!! Interesting! I too am smiling broadly now!
@Amit
Hehehe! Good one.. We should christen such comments as “cross-commenting” or something and patent the idea! Linking two posts in one comment…
@Harshasiri
All the best, macha! May the Force be with you!
Points 4, 5 and 6 are just too gross! yuk, yuk yuk!
BTW Moon looks nice as header
@ Nikhil:
Guilty on none of the counts on your list but I have a list of some other traits
@Nikhil
Yup. I am very sure that I don’t have the last two. So are there any reservations in colleges for insane people? Or maybe we could fight for them to include it.
Of course it is!
*HUGS* and *KISSES*
I’m Not insane ! Amen !
sheesh!! all my hopes of pleading insanity for many of my actions has been dashed with this post!! hhrrmpppff!!
*goes looking for another excuse*
Hi Nikhil
Do you have All Episodes of Ducktales and Talespin in Hindi ? I wanted them
Nishkam
@Sakhi
haha! Good for you! They’re not gross, they’re facts of life!
Thanks! I rather like it myself…
@Shefaly
Maybe you make them public and see how many people are just as insane as you claim to be!
@Anniyan
Yeah man, there are! It’s called “Merit Seats”…!!
@Smallstar
@Priya
Damn!I was rather hoping you would be!
@Abha
Welcome to MirrorCracked!
I could help you plead insanity… I can handle myself quite well legally…
@Nishkam Jain
What the fuck!??
Hehehe!!! Are you like serious?
*happy look* lol
Nikhil:
Here is one – I “proofread” people when they speak.
Now let’s see how many here fit that criterion…
@Smallstar
Lol…
@Shefaly
Hmmm… that’s a toughie…
BTW how are ya? I hope well…

@Nikhil
Good one!

@Smallstar
Yes, thanks!
@Arvind
Hahaha! Good for you!

@Ananth
Welcome to MirrorCracked!
And are you sure you’re not 6 on 6…?
@La Vida Loca
Haha! Read this book called “Chaos” by Gleick…
@Nikhil: Oh, glad to know it, buddyyy!!! *HUGS*
muhahaha i am sane !
what if it’s just one testicle?
[...] I fell asleep at one point and slept peacefully till the morning. I was too tired to go swimming, so I went home and continued sleeping till 11 AM. I spent the rest of the day doing absolutely nothing and slept for the most part. The next day(i.e.yesterday) I did absolutely nothing constructive from the morning and in the evening me and my cousin went shopping. When we came back, I was quite surprised to learn that we were to go out for dinner. “We” in the sense, our WHOLE family of 15(cousins included). I was the one who was supposed to get there first and book the tables. I had the worst time waiting there for them to arrive. The waiter there seemed to think some pretty wierd things about me sitting there alone in a place meant for 15 people. I could tell he was thinking something wierd of me because he was looking at me with a funny stare. You know, the ones which you give to people who you think are insane. [...]
nahiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
main INSANE nahi hoon, INSAAN hoon
Ist and 5th….and many other points you didn’t mention.
& I lurk* at your blog often, although I never commented.
@Nik – I am sane. I wanted to be insane but couldn’t do the 4th one after much trying. Is it humanly possible?
@RJ: keep being sane. You surely will become insane in future… And I can’t wait to see your insane face! LOL
u know it… i still have the slap marks from my last stare attack…
yeah i am not sane and i revel in that
