Show Notes

In this episode, we relate a lot of the customs that we have here in the US back to the customs that are present in India/Pakistan. For example, is Starbucks the Chai of the western world (and why the hell do they have a drink called CHAI TEA)? Is Dhoom the Bollywood version of Fast and Furious? Are Kelly Kapoor and Ryan Howard (from the Office) the original Priyanka Chopra/Nick Jonas? Is Sanjeev Kapoor the Gordon Ramsey of India?
