Another reflective piece of self criticism.
After I opened a bank account at the TCF bank in the campus branch of UMN, I received a purple coloured sweat-shirt on depositing my first 50 dollars.
Boldly saying"Golden Gophers".
I chuckled to myself as i knew it is going straight to my closet unless someone asks for it .
Whhoh, why??
Four years at NITR;T-shirts sold every year, never bought one.
2 years at Microsoft; T-shirts,jackets and bags distributed all the time, never used one.
The trend shall continue at Gopherland.
Never had an email signature, saying am blahblah.
Never had a business card saying howdy here's the so called me.
If,I was so proud to be wherever I was,why did I never wear my pride on my sleeve.
Was I playing the humble kitten.No, something a blunt person like me just can't.
Was I intimidated by something, heh, thatz just ridiculous.
The reason is that,I was always way too proud to be myself,nothing,no university, no company, no country or watever else u have, captures the true light of my indomitable spirit.Am proud to be all that, but I only wear the greatest pride on me,the pride of my individuality.
So i don't wear nothing, coz no identity is bigger than me.
It is the source from where,I derive the strength of all my convictions from.
This is both a gud and bad way of thinking, think u can guess why, whatever, at least my premise has no contradictions.

May be some people just wear all that without thinking that deep...
Is it the theory derived from pratice or practice coming from theory? :)
P.S. bet you.. you will have to wear that sweatshirt if u want to save money... and probably that is the reason with most of us for using all those freebies... They are free and using them save money... And money matters... atleast when u are in school... :)
I think this is your best post till date...kind of like a signature post of your blog "Me, Myself and Amogh"
I think the most important thought that's loud in this post is the 'this-is-what-I-am' or 'this-is-me' proclamation. I think, realizing what you are, or discovering one's individuality is a very profound process and does not come to us easy...for those who find it; what greater power than the knowledge of me!
@Saurabh
Initally it was an instinctive decision and was molded with logic later.
Lolz,ur funny.
@Ron:Sirjee,I think thatz exactly what my instincts told me.
I would repeat again what u wrote "It's both a good and bad way of looking at things"......It's just how u carry it will make a difference....
Well expressed :)
1) You make time to update the blog. Impressive time-management!
2) I think I know someone with whom you talked about this distaste for thappa wali t-shirts. That someone hasn't bought an IIMC tee yet ;-)
3)Couldn't agree more. Respects.
