Ironical. After talking nineteen to dozen about the frivolity of reality shows, it still takes one dance reality show to make the country sit up and notice that there exists various dance genres in India as well!

And it takes one dance reality show, Dance India Dance, for Remo, the choreographer to realise that small cities too need dance academies.

It's fiery hot! It's served hot, and it's a blaze of vivid colours! Mexico may be far away but its cuisine remains close to my heart. I think it has to do with the fact that there are many basic ingredients that are common to our food and theirs. The generous use of chilli powder, cumin (jeera), cinnamon, cilantro (fresh dhania leaves), beans, peppers, tomatoes, garlic and onions bring it very close to Indian food flavours. A Mexican meal contains many fresh vegetables and is considered one of the healthiest of the world's cuisines.
