I read in The Hindu today that baseball is making an appearance in India. Don't these people have any shame? What next, prom nights in Indian high schools? Idiots.

This reminds me of something Anuradha, the undisputed queen of Indian weather TV (she of the 'western disturbances' fame), said a while ago. To make the point that the weather was sunny in Goa, she said (I am paraphrasing here), "Goa is the place to be for those of you looking to get a tan." Come on, give me a break! Indians are desperately trying to make themselves Fair and Lovely (tm), and this lady suggests that they rub suntan lotion all over their (already oily) bodies and lie on the beach under a scorching sun? Memo to Anuradha: tans make sense only for Caucasians.
