Words of Gnarly Troop Founder ‘Amarjeet Thakur’ (An Indian) in his book “Emptiness of Pride” for Gnarly Troop: The ability to respond with agility and strength in someone's loneliness is one of the greatest predictors of being troop. Not talent, nor beauty, sporting abilities or the fact that i won a pie-eating competition in year nine.

I have rinsed my eyes continuously to adapt and respond in many ups & downs throughout this lifespan to create my inner self, Earlier being alone in the ground at night(s) for building the hope because there was none except me who could find either the key or the door to open to reach you today as Gnarly Troop Founder. I find myself simply fascinating..! Thank you all for joining Gnarly Troop today.
