Hello World!

We are creatures of habit!

One of the first things an IT professional does when he/she creates something new is to test it.

So, when I signed-up for this blog instead of an introduction or a starter blog, I am creating a test page.

But, then this page also serves to give a brief introduction of me - a stereotypical IT professional from South Asia!

Hello World!


No replies yet?


I grew up in Southern part of India, but I was always curious to learn more about the countries neighboring India. I would read more and more about Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, China, Pakistan from the news and any books I could find, but hardly met anyone in person.

But, only after I moved to the US in the year 2000 did I meet with so many of them and made few very good friends. My interest in the shared history, common culture and struggles has only increased. One other thing that's common or me with these friends is the joy and struggle in the newly adopted home, the United States.

Keeping with my interest, I decided to name my blog, South Asian Muslim. I will present my perspectives on the region, on issues affecting the people and most importantly the experiences in the United States.

Stay tuned!
