We human beings have individual differences, which make no two individuals the same. We all have different habits and personalities, and different tastes and ways of doing things. As per Dr Prem – A renowned Author, the habits we have, we tend to find them all normal, whereas, people around us find some habits of ours weird or abnormal.
This is the case with everybody, and some powerful world figures are no exception to it. Here is a list of some powerful world personalities who exhibit some bizarre habits and passions:

The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso has a peculiar passion for watches. He has admitted his weird penchant for watches quite many times during his interviews, saying that he loves watches. The reason behind he thinks is that he is reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama. As he was fond of pocket watches, rosaries, and horses, so maybe this is why he also likes watches. He received his first watch at the age of 7 from President Franklin Roosevelt, which he has today as well.
Angela Merkel

She spent around 35 years of her life living in the communist East Germany. Things were scarce in that economy, which made Angela Merkel to imbibe some deep-seated habits. One of the habits that now appear weird but was absolutely normal for the conditions that prevailed in communist East Germany is the food hoarding. Even today, she is into impulsive buying, which is buying things even when you do not need them. However, she knows there is no need to do so in the present scenario, as there is no such scarcity of things in modern Germany.

His habit of keeping his left hand in pocket, both when relaxing or meeting people, has put him into limelight many a times. This habit of his went unnoticed until Bill met South Korean President Lee Myung-bak. It created media uproar for Koreans relate keeping left hand in pocket while shaking hands or meeting with other person to be offensive, as it shows a sense of pride and superiority.
