That being a stud international debater, a corporate law TA, a "Constitution reviewer" and Convenor of a Committee is no guarantee that you can be expected to behave reasonably in public, have some sense of integrity, value important friendships, be trusted to be unbiased about decisions that affect others' future opportunities, be careful in handling responsibilities that could put people other than yourself into unpleasant situations and NOT drag other, completely unrelated people into personal conflicts.
I'm not happy but I'm proud that I held my ground on issues that I don't think can and should be compromised on. I'm also glad that I didn't apply, lest my application be "unfavourably" considered, since it would've been apparent that I had 50 quizzing and lit points but *gasp* only 30 debating points.

I'm not sure if there's a point to this story but I'm going to tell it again.
- Eashan Ghosh
- India
- I've been wilfully caught up in the self-defeating quest to get to know myself for years. I've never expected anything beneficial to result from such a quest. I tend to evoke extremely polarised reactions from people I get to know in passing. Consequently, only those people who know me inside-out would honestly claim that I'm a person who's just "alright." It's not a coincidence that the description I've laid out above has no fewer than, title included, eleven references to me (make that twelve). I'm affectionately referred to as "Ego." I think that last statement might have given away a tad too much. Welcome Aboard.
