Let me tell you why this blog is called 'The Nonconformist.'
Fact is that it wasn't long ago when I had these notions of not subscribing to established norms of mass culture, beliefs, actions et al. That was until I landed at MICA, where nobody conforms to anything at all - be it class timings, mess food, course material or fidelity in sleeping around.
Hence the name sounds absurd now to those who know me better. After all, I am one of the more conforming types in this asylum. But then who sits on judgement over what is nonconformism and what isn't? Is my nonconformism the same as yours? Is it derived from yours? Does it match yours in terms of intensity and execution?
My signature on my mail ids says “If there is someone a nonconformist hates more than a conformist, it is a nonconformist who does not conform to his brand of non-conformism.” Truer words were never spoken.

Very interesting description and explanation. I don't know whether to be serious or amused. Lols I did both. But you write well. Your style is quite honest and direct in all of your posts. No frills. Makes for a real interesting read.
See you around. :-)
Blessings to you and your family.
