Male version can be identified by the dress code they adhere to - full sleeves shirt with some kind of brown check pattern, light blue jeans-pants and oversized Nike shoes.

Facts About Techies -
Dream Job : working in any role possible, most of the time for peanuts, but working in "the abroad"/US/UK/Australia. Peanuts become coconuts once they move back to India, thanks to exchange rates.
Place of Worship, to be visited at least three times for successful showing-off to other techies back home : the US
Mission/Vision/Motto of the true techie : I must never, ever get bad words from my firang customer, even if I'm dying in a road accident. " AAAAAAA!!!! that jeep drove over my leg!!! But. Must. Go. Office. Finish. Code!!!!!!!!" *Gawsp*
Greatest Fear : Never getting onsite role. (Which is equivalent to social suicide in the world of techies)
TIP : Don't offend any techie by letting on that you are more intelligent than him. Especially if you are a non-science graduate. He will never forget it. He will never forgive you.
Usage
Amar : "You give me da, I'll show to my brother. He's one full enthu techie. Always he repairs our PC at home."
