I've spent two minutes above selecting the font. Khair. My blog is now finally born. I've thought about starting this for quite some time now. And thought ... i'd like to think i've thought a lot about an appropriate name but i haven't really. I thought of bhai log, but hey that was taken. And then Nazia recommended Bhai log nama as in khabarnama. I was thinking sleepy orange wind. But naah. Bhai Log Nama it is.

So what will this blog have. Well as my friend Danish likes to put it i have a weirdness quota for everyday. I'm not at peace till i've completed my quota. So now part of my quota fulfilling will be recorded on this blog. I'm weird. I'm quixotic. I never see the glass half empty. For that matter i never see it half full either. I just drink it.

:)
This blog should be a lot of fun. I've always been insecure about writing and then sharing it. But bhai log is not like me. Behind him I can say whatever I please. Bhai log is never boring.

Where did the title bhai log come from? No it did not come from an Indian movie. Credit goes to this cousin of mine, Faisal Bhai, who calls himself Bhai Log for fun. And I just adopted the term one evening at aftari in tressider(at stanford) while talking to a few desi-s trying to break ice. Khair that was for then. But next day I came into tressider at aftari time and this guy shouts out "Bhai Log...Kia haal hai". And well bhai log came into permanent existence.

BTW my close friends on the east coast right now, hated the term. But thats another story. Will share :)

Its nice to have a blog of my own ... one outside facebook!.
