The Phobic Me Vs My Maniac Alter Ego- Dedicated to my fear of height and my love for distance (With a kiss of randomness)


Hi… I am Arpi… still the confused one but this time I want to introduce you  to a different side of me… the phobic one. Wait!! There’s a long list-

Acrophobia- The fear of heights
The biggest fear I have- falling from a height. This is a night mare which often visits me. Sometimes, I wake up in night just in reaction to falling from a height in dreams.

Agoraphobia- A fear of open spaces
I like walking alone on streets but don’t like to visit public spaces like restaurants, shops and cinema halls alone. The idea alone seems to be weird and embarrassing.

Acarophobia- Fear of small insects and worm
Do I fear rats or lizards or dogs or pigs? No, but I do fear cockroaches, earthworms and even moths.

Aquaphobia- Fear of drowning
Another morbid dream that often visits me- of drowning in clear and clean blue water- combined with acrophobia, this is the reason why I never tried to draw water from my well.

Social phobia- Any phobia (other than agoraphobia) associated with situations in which you are subject to criticism by others (as fear of eating in public or public speaking etc)
My biggest phobia

And the list will continue………

And now let me introduce you to my Alter Ego who is a maniac……. Maniac about?
Food- Spicy and tangy food items –Now you know the source of my extra pounds
Long drives- A stagnant life makes me so bored….i need to see things moving…. Literally
Music- Hit Popular Pop songs to Less heard soft melodious numbers- anything that suites my mood
Photos- Whether I look photogenic or not, I want myself to be clicked with different backgrounds
And the list will continue………


Sheltered and protected, I am never able to identify, explain, face and challenge these fears. So, I often try to break away. This blog is all about my random expeditions ,my phobias and manias. Destinations and journeys may vary but there is one thing common- the randomness of instigations that led to all the following enjoyable planned and unplanned trips. I may never get any reader for this blog but as I believe I am done with all the crazy trips of my life, I guess I will blog them just as memoirs.
