First Post

Ok finally i am kinda blogging. Don't know though for how long i will continue the feat.

This is my first post to this blog so i will keep up blogging tradition and key in jitter jabber about myself and what is this blog for.

I am Rohit Iyer but most call me 'iyer'. I am a dark ugly pseudo south-indian nerd (an iyer on top of that). Why pseudo south-indian?...... because beleive me as much as i claim to be south indian i have never been to the south in my entire life. Bangalore is the southmost i have ever been (....Yes Ashwin i know it should be Nanjangud but bangalore sounds cooler).

All through my life i have lived in jaipur and a little amount of time i have spent in pune (the past 3 and a 1/2 years or so). Yes obviously now i won't seem like a south indian only but i still can speak Tamil and Malayalam to a considerable extent (Though not as good as english or hindi for that matter). And my name has the 'Iyer' trademark which not only used to bring unnecessary attention towards me in Jaipur (6 years ago Jaipur telephone directory had jus three iyers.. just to give an idea) but also branded me as a south indian everywhere i went.

Yes the biggest problem with Tam-Brahms like me is that we get stereotyped... (yes i m sure the picture in your head says... coconut oil clad, spectacle wearing, weird accent).. And if it was for my parents moreso my peers i would have been that but i'd like to believe i am not (your opinion may differ).

Currently i am pursuing my B. E. degree in Information Technology from MIT, pune. Schooling done from Jaipur.

Now, What is this blog about? Just my take on my life and my point of view towards various things.
