The heat is back! Well, not completely, but I would definitely say that "winter" is over. The weather is actually quite lovely, sun shining, a little bit of a breeze, not foggy, it is a good time to be in Delhi. My guess is that I have about 2 more months before the bad heat sets in. I'm mentally preparing.
And now, on to one of the most surprising, yet somehow not, things I've encountered here. See, it isn't the things that are completely different from back home that surprise me here, it the stuff that is the same. Like that I can get Oreo cookies here. So I wasn't surprised that American Idol is on TV here, but it is which season of American Idol that is on that totally floored me.
As I have mentioned before, my TV options are a tad bit limited, I get random shows, half of which I've never heard of, and all of which are last season's...or older...episodes. But American Idol is this season. Not only is it this season, but it actually aires here the day after it aires in the US! I've never watched it before but when it pre-empted my favorite show here I decided to tune in and then saw a blog on Boston.com about it and realized that it was the same episode.
I feel like this is one of the signs of the end of the world or something. I mean kids here don't always have access to an education, or food for that matter...but American Idol they get.
Now that I've watched it I can say that it is pretty entertaining, although Paula Abdul is really crazy, and Ryan is really annoying, and why does everyone boo Simon? he just speaks the truth.
Oh, there is an Indian Idol also.
