You Know You're Watching Indian TV When...

the tele-evangelists look like freaky Babas








you're watching a show called the Bollywood Reporter








there's a channel specifically devoted to cricket








there are more singing + dancing extravaganzas than you care to count







the hip-hop artists have names like Sukhbir








you can watch some old guy who looks like Santa belting out exotic devotional songs







this guy - who I'll simply call Mr. Popular - is on every other freaking channel







the men sport mustaches and dress like bad throwbacks from the disco era







you can watch a movie about Shiva or some other Hindu God 24 hours a day







sitcom characters look like this









talkshow hosts dress like this









the men wear turbans










True fact - I got all this by quickly flipping through the channels one evening in Delhi
