Summary: rough draft

MBTI: INTJ Enneagram:1W9 I was born in rural Environment and enjoyed 10yrs of my life experimenting with life. I have a habit of tinkering with things so broke many things like video games, calculators and TV. Liked to play Hero/Guardian of area so Gang wars were common phenomena during those days. Also tried my hand in building bio gas plant and cultivating mushroom but I think 15 was too early of age. (vacation time) Age 10-14: Hostel life: Didn't have much freedom there in terms of tinkering so tried my hand on literature. My first essay topic was 'love'.

Thought ( मनन ) - 35: A poem from secondary education

But a poem haunted :P me from time to time. I forgot its words but, surely, I disagreed on the crux of Poem. Here it is - The Unknown Citizen W. H. Auden, 1907 - 1973 (To JS/07 M 378 This Marble Monument Is Erected by the State) He was found by the Bureau of Statistics to be One against whom there was no official complaint, And all the reports on his conduct agree That, in the modern sense of an old-fashioned word, he was a saint, For in everything he did he served the Greater Community. Except for the War till the day he retired He worked in a factory and never got fired, But satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc. Yet he wasn't a scab or odd in his views, For his Union reports that he paid his dues, (Our report on his Union shows it was sound) And our Social Psycholog
