India’s American Idol

Now we have another American Idol hopeful with Indian lineage waiting to be lapped up by an urban India still only too keen to have the West define their cultural and social achievements.
And you can’t beat winning American Idol in that category.
From what I’ve heard, Anoop Desai does have a better chance of winning than Sanjay Malakar did.
If I could somehow manage to hear Van Halen and Led Zeppelin, I could proudly declare that I have heard every great rock band that I grew up on ‘live’. Yesterday, I ticked off Deep Purple from the list.
