hi linda i am with you on a new chef . did you hear if Bal going to have a book or not ? i keep looking in the book stores but not yet. bet in time she will . but i guess you and i would like to have it now. well happy cooking . janice
she has two amazing cookbooks! Everyday Indian & Quick and Healthy indian. Best books Ive bought!
Star Trek was a huge thing in India those days. Endless re-runs. I grew up watching those too.
VJanard,
Depends on where you are and what 'village'. Even today, some villages still has no water, let alone re-runs of American hit T.V. shows. Her stories doesn't add up.

India is a country of paradox. You can have no water but you can have access to satellite TV! Btw, India had only one state run TV channel which had national programming in the 1980s. Star Trek was shown on Sunday morning ( along with a few other "English" programs like famous five, Sherlock Holmes, Cosmos by Carl Sagan). Regardless of whether you were in a village or city that is what you got! So, if you had a TV (or your neighbor, or your community) you absolutely to could have seen it, whether you understood what was spoken is a different thing all together =)!
