The new epidemic sweeping the Indian subcontinent is not swine flu, but reality TV. I never watched American Idol in the good old USA but I cannot run away from zillions of copies of American Idol desi style that the hundred million television channels have spawned overnight in India. Some of these people can sing, it is true, but my god, the whole country is in a stupor. And every song is a “classic” and “unforgettable.” Unforgivable that is what you are unforgivable like toast with tar. Stop it people. You wanna know the first prize? Multi-million dollar apartments in India or the Middle East. We got to move these refrigerators. We got to move these color tvs. oy!
