Some random thoughts...

Some people did ask me(at intermittent time intervals) why my blog's name was "anamgine" or why my mail id was "goths_numbers_"@"some_domain".com..So i thought i could actually build a post on it :P

Anamgine:
Anamgine is actually a concatenation of two strings An and enigma. Here the reverse form of enigma || amgine is taken and concatenated with an. So ultimately the name is anamgine.

If the question is why an enigma? The answer would be that I consider myself to be an enigma. I arrived at this conclusion after a simple self analysis where I asked myself a few questions from time to time and came out with inconsistent answers(at the  corresponding different points of time). Off late though, the consistency factor has improved a bit with me showing clear lines of demarcations between the different answers/views possible for different questions(if it sounds a little too vague, i suggest you to read the above paragraph again/ask yourself some random questions and try to come out with answers!!)

Goths:
a.Its not inspired from the goths civilization of aoe. I coined this name well before I started playing aoe.
b.Its actually an inspiration from Gotham city of Batman fame. Gautam-Gotham:Homophones. Gotham's->Goths: a kinda shortened form. This was the exact thought chain that went through my mind when I coined this name sometime in my seventh class!!!

The inspiration, as obvious, is Batman. I was so much impacted by the character in my childhood itself. I mean, the way he does things, the principles he stands for, his love for the darkness, turning his greatest fear towards his enemies...and finally doing things "alone"_not trusting anyone else..... All these were traits that I wanted to have actually(I am sure I dont have even half of them)...Despite all this, I was quite rudely shaken at the new definition given to the batman character etched by Nolan and actually found the recent avatar of Batman a lot more well defined and refined than his previous counterparts. And this character has forever created an irreversible impact in my mind. Hopefully I imbibe some traits from my inspiration in the long run.

I am pretty sure many of you would have had these sort of inspirations/ideas/thoughts and I dont think its wrong to be inspired by any crazy thing. "If you are inspired by something/someone, you want to be that thing/person"....

cheers,
