Sohrab is a persian name.
The accent should give it away, or just ask.
I have a bengali friend named Sourab, is it the same?
just an update. i've found out he is Iranian. he is a really quirky professor,
persian ?
^yes.
btw, in lecture, he was talking about the fundamental thorems. like, relating pressure, force, mass, velocity, temperature, energy, in terms of the planck's and boltzmann's constant, poincare conjecture, etc. basically down to a fundamental level, temperature, heat, and velocity, and energy are really the same thing.
but anways, he was saying how back in the day, people didn't really understand how force or pressure actually was, they just relied on newtonian defintions which really doesn't make sense. so they basically ignored the precise definition, so metaphorically like (verbatim) "sweeping a dirty condom" under the rug.
that woke me up

Bengali Muslims, Indian Muslims, Paki Muslims, Arab Muslims can share the same names...because they're all Muslim. It's just like how Indian Christians have the same names as White Christians.
