    This news did not feature on any TV news channel, certainly not in Delhi. Television reporters did not ask aam janta to react to this new Rajya Sabha MP. And no, it did not trend on Twitter either. Obviously, I am not talking of Sachin Tendulkar, whose oath-taking today was...

    “You remember Aamir Khan’s real name in `3 Idiots‘? Wangdu. You can call me by that name.” That was the young reporter of `Business Bhutan’ offering me an easy way out of struggling to pronounce Phuntsho Wangdi. Aamir Khan was Phunsukh Wangdu in `3 Idiots‘. Once again Bollywood had come...
