Couch Potato Re Discovers India

One of the most pleasurable things to watch on TV is this entire range of travel shows that're on there. Have you seen The anchors on these shows? I mean, it's like having an all expenses paid holiday every single day you are at work. Utopia at work!(and we all shrugged it away as an imaginary concept)

Anyway, what I feel is that these shows always make a big deal when it's an episode based on India. As advanced as we are today, the world (read The west) still looks up to India as this totally spiritual or mystical land.So, it was a good change when I caught this travel show episode on Discovery Travel and Living where the anchor travelled to a host of places in India and they showed a totally new side of it. Of course, with the anchor being a Brit, there was the usual emphasis on historical sites, food and drinks (especially the spicy curry) etc. But then, in a totally surprising turn of events, she caught up with this bunch of teens at an uptown restaurant and was delighted to know that they worked for this international (Innernashional) call centre and even accompanied them for their late night / early morning Accent lessons. And boy was she impressed with the way these guys Rrolled their R's! Whoever devised this term....But I would have rather loved it if she'd have rolled her arse.So much for dedicated viewing.
