Editorial: Why are Indians
so earnest? |
 Oscar
Wilde's 'The Importance of Being
Earnest', is a comedy masterpiece
about two flamboyant bachelors who
secretly lead double lives. Using
aliases and false alibis, the pair
woo respectable ladies by day and
cavort in music halls at night.
As I sat through an hour long session
with members of the CII-Yi London
delegation, I wondered if they would
be carousing in the music halls
of London later, because, boy......the
going was "heavy weather"!
Why are Indians so earnest?

blog to read more off this editorial.
Still
if you fancy some real tomfoolery
set in an Indian call centre, buy
Sanjeev Bhaskar & Nitin Ganatra's
new series 'Mumbai Calling' which
is out on DVD on 20 July. It's absolutely
hilarious. Hanif Kureishi's dark
wit is also out on display in his
new play 'The Black Album' which
starts at the National Theatre on
14 July 2009.
