But is it really as bad as some of these Polish names and Chinese names or even Bong names?

Pakadolawski? Ching Chang woo? Bhattacharjee?

This may explain why there is an increase in infidelity among SI Brahmin woman of late. This explains it all!

With a name like Apu Nahasamapatial Iyer, you can blame their women folks.

ROFLMO!

heh heh..hilarious...i loved it... but i disagree to a lil extent...i have brothers who are named parameshwaran ananthanarayan iyer, venkateshwaran ananthanarayana iyer and others of the like... and believe it or not, their names are one of the reasons girls go upto them..on some level, they find it cute..of course, in a day or two, they will be referring to my brothers wid terribly shortened names like parmesh, paru, par etc etc.... n not that my brothers are not smart or good looking..

but my point is that ur name need not necessarily be the reason y girls would not take a second look... not that i would not think twice if i met a guy name ponnusami or Ponnalagusamy or whatever ( no offence to anyone who was unfortunate enuf to be named like this!)

heh heh..but, seriously well written! =)

PS - My name is ranjani narayani ramswamy ayyar...now my parents were kind enuf to shorten it to ranjani ramaswamy ayyar in school..n now in office,i made it ranjani ayyar! so.. well...its not oly u men who face the issue u kno..we have our share too!

To start with lemme tell u my ethnic identity. . . I'm a typical Mallu male - The only category of people on earth who spend more money on liquor than food.

Good post pal... Great sense of Humour. It was wonderful piece of writing. Well, why suddenlt one portuguese name came in your post - "Joshua Perreira"??

Infact you took only a smaaaaaaaaaaallllllllll section of NI guys and compare it with All of SI. It was bit unfair,ooooppss... really not fair...

Well I'm not at all here to argue with anyone... Thought of expressing some of my findings to all the people here...

I'll ask you some questions, I know the answer for those questions too... Lemme start..

1. Have you ever seen a Mallu Beggar anywhere on earth. Even here in Kerala none of the beggars speaks Malayalam, they speaks tamil or Hindi (No offence to my tamil brothers)??

2. Have you ever seen an Illiterate Mallu in your life time???

3. Have you ever seen a mallu child labor in your life time???

4. Have you ever seen a mallu house without toilet in your life time???

5. Have you ever seen a mallu slum dweller in your life time??? (Kerala have less than 0.8% of its poplation lives in Slums, lowest in India and all these slums are occupied by other state people)

6. Have you ever seen a mallu sleeping on road side in your life time???

7. Have you ever seen a mallu women walking miles on barefoot in search of water in your life time???

8. Have you ever seen a mallu riding a bullock cart in your life time??? (I never saw a single bullock cart in my life time here)

The answer is a big NO.....

plz learn something from Mallus and implement all those in NI.

Hilariousssss.......
I can relate to what you are saying....I was almost on the verge of going on a date with a tambrahm who had a quite north indian name [i of course dont know his full name] ....did a doubletake when he insisted on cooking rasam and avial for me to show his love for me....and i am a non veggie bong girl.....so discovered a migraine that day...saved!!!!!!!!!!

Charlie chaplin said "In the end, everything is a gag." true to his words you put up an execellent blog making fun of the cultural bondage that comes via inheritance!!!

On a serious note I agree on the name part which a person can't do much about rather than changing it or shortening it to a better one. At the end its all perception dude..

Its too funny & I can relate that to many of my southie friends. I have one objection though, U have used my name to poke fun, I dont mind ;-).

Small correction though whenever I am referred by a Southie they rape my name eg "Goutham", "Gowtham", "Gawtham" anything but there has to be as "H" followed by "T" only Balaji (read God) knows why?

Vijay — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 00:55:04 -0000

Me had a ghastly name - Somasundaram named after my grandfather. I used to shiver when I had to intro even average women. When I had enough guts, the first thing I did was changed the damned name to vijay. But alas, there are too many guys who knew me by Soma by then, So I had to retain that damned name for past identity. So you look at my blog, it is vijay-soma. But atleast, now I am Vijay to all new people including all sexy babes. My gf has no clue of my Soma identity. And she will never know unless she looks at my past passports!, But before that, she will be trapped in my house... hahaha :)

Hey,

That was an interesting read but must say you are belittling your own race!!! I am a North Indian but lived all my life in South India. I dont think all South Indians are like this. For god sake the Pizza guys you are talking about could be from Bangalore, chennai or Delhi! nothing to do with the demographies. And you forgot our lads from Bihar and UP who too feel left out because of their "HUMBLE" background!
What I believe is that you will be treated as you want to be treated as!! Be proud of what you are rather than cursing your name (well not all North indians have a name like Bobby kahn!! how bout Shailendar tripathy !!!!)
And also you should not forget many jean clad north indian who think they look hep in the rib hugging t shirt forget that they have a big stomach rolling out!!
Again think how you need to projected and you will be seen that ways!
Cheers
Calvin

I've read this post after a hiatus of two years, and you can take the credit for a loss of atleast 20 man hours, spent laughing our heads off.

Cool dude!! That was indeed hilarious but only hilarious!! Names never really mean anything. Like its rightly said "What lies in a name"? Well, attitude doesnt lie in a name, your ability to carry yourself has no relation with your name, your ability to mingle and stand out in a crowd doesnt depend on your name? So get real dude, get a life, go out, meet people, have fun and smile - your women are just waiting for ya!! Chill!!
