I\'ve been here in London 3 months now and I haven\'t faced this.. not yet.. I don\'t think it reflects what UK stands for and it\'s more a case of improving TRPs (BB had record low TRPs since the opening show and until the Shilpa issue came up) and maybe Shilpa agreeing to it to help he sagging career.. I heard she got paid Rs. 3 crores for this.. No wonder she didn\'t mind being called Shilpa Poppadom if she got paid that kind of money..

Suresh: I am not sure if 3 months is enough time... and if something didnt happen to you and me doesnt mean it doesnt happen at all. I see that you are a conspiracy theorist as well. These TV networks would do anything for TRPs. BUt i am sure they didnt expect it turn into this big a deal.

Here\'s why we shouldn\'t be surprised by a Kenyan win in the Mumbai Marathon!!!
The vast majority of Kenya\'s brightest running stars were born and raised at high altitude. Running at higher elevations builds greater lung capacity, because athletes grow accustomed to the thinner air.

Namaskar !
I had tried to play the episode on my ziepod player, but after initial music, it went dumb.
I downloaded it and tried to play on Windows Media player and it gave an error- invalid input. Some problem with compressed ID3 tags of the mp3 file.
But surprisingly real player had no problem and it went on smoothly.
Thank God !

I noticed you never commented on my
idea for an episode/contest,
maybe you could have a listener
join in for part of the podcast, or
hold a contest for somebody to win that.
Anyway, I had thought it was a good
idea, investing in your audience/stock-holders is always good business I think.
Also, where is my T-shirt?

@ Aditya
I agree.. I just wanted to get the view across that something that happens to Shilpa doesn\'t happen always..
3 months is indeed a short time.. you could do a follow up on BB next year and I\'ll comment again ;-)
