We are the oxymoron to the geek and nerd stereotype - the "social" nerds and the "chic" geeks. Sure, we love Battlestar Galactica, but that doesn't mean we can't hold our own at a high class social function.

Although we can explain the relation between a "Hobbit" and a "Halfling" to someone, it doesn't mean that we locked ourselves away from society and stud …

Others of us are fond of India's rich culture but don't know any Hindi words beyond biryani, makhani, tikka and paneer! This group is for all of us! Too many educated Delhi-ites themselves have …
