the “thing” with guys

We got our conference T-shirts at college today. We’re having a 3 day National Conference on Protein Folding Dynamics and Diseases. I’m looking forward to it. Will get to see many people from different places speak, do presentations, present papers, posters and stuff. So moving on, these shirts look sad_ All of us initially taught that it’d be cool to wear Biotech tees and stuff but now its like, “really”? Its got PESIT BIOTECH DEPT printed boldly in Goth font!!!

My friend mesgs me: “Hey so you Really wearing the tee tom? I dono what to do, I don’t want to be the Only fool wearing it. Lemme know by tom morn”.

The thing about guys. Well, I really don’t know what the “thing” is, but they were the first ones to wear it as soon as they got it [in class]. Hmmmm O_o

Edit: [Added this an hour after publishing 'coz it Really made me think. Ahem].

So thats what makes guys who they are. They don’t care about how it looks or what color/ font it is. They just “get along” with what they get. They don’t fuss. They don’t imagine things to be in a particular way and crib about how sad it is once it appears in front of them in reality. Thats why they can float along in any condition easily without bothering too much. Thats actually pretty cool.

hmm..I wouldn’t wear such a thing :P

So you are going to do a presentation? Why just watch?

Protein folding dynamics, sounds interesting..like those kind of stuff which talk about those small things which have big impacts :)

@Vishesh- Oh, come on.
And we can’t do it coz we’re in the 1st sem and our official branch is not Biotech yet. We have everything but BT in the 1st year.
And yes, it is exactly like what you’ve explained in the last line!

A national conference on WHAT?? :P

I would nt have worn a T Shirt like that. In fact, there are a few of them, which I got from various conferences and camps, lying untouched in my wardrobe. :D

You kinda got a point there. But then, that is just not the case with Guys alone. The “get along well with everything” types are found in either gender. Probably, its just that your college has a higher male ratio in that. :)

Agreed!!
I was actually like that in college days.
But later, I started to care a lot about my social image. Dressing sense and all does matter a lot for guys too. In college days, I never bothered abt it. But now, I think….think….think about where I am going, what kinda ppl am gonna meet, what suits best & all!!

P.S:- But still, I don’t goto office with formals!

Reading about Protein dynamics makes me nostalgic :) hope you have a good time at the conference (in ur Goth print T-shirt :) )

Comment by Zeeshan

Hope you enjoy your event. Well the tee sounds really bad that too in goth print. I’d never wear that!! Oh good lord no! As for boys most of them are fashion-challenged!!! Whooopa ;)

This Proves that linking your blog on twitter gets you More comments than it usually would! :P

@milcom – Oh comee on!! you would’ve totally worn it too. I guess.
Made a point in the last statement. Agreed.

@Prashanth – yeah, guys get that sense only once they start being socially active.

@Zeeshan – Hmm, taking tiny steps in understanding the messed up tangled brains of guys :P
Conf was sad man! :P

@Mahak – 1st day was totally sad. Liked only 1 presentation and everything else went above my head! :D Thanks!
But guys are being more and more fashion conscious these days!

@Pratap- hmmmm :|

Comment by Priya

The ”thing” with guys is that they look for pure functional clothing. Girls go like “What are you wearing!” and guys will be like “How do we care?” Unless of course when they have their girlfriend or prospective girlfriend around.

Comment by The Illuminator

Guys are guys :-) :-)

Comment by Prashant
