Have you noticed?
TV sitcoms have become like Sepiamutiny's password - a token brown on each one. Well, atleast the ones I watch or sort of watch.
Aziz Ansari Parks and Recreation
And they dont mock his Indianness heck they dont refer to it.
Mindy Kaling Office
She is no Tina fey but she is a writer cum actor and she is also cute - So WIN
Kunal Nayar - Big bang theory
Yep, the ttereotypical geek but he is one of the four main characters so in your face whoever you are
whatchyacallhim in 3d rock
he has been there for some time and he is Indian, so had to add him.
and now Kal Penn in How I met your mother.
I rest my case.
Also, Note Two out of the five - Tamilians - I am local like that.
who is Tam here? Kunal not mallu ah?
ReplyDeleteTam - Aziz and Mindy!
ReplyDeleteKunal - I think is a punjabi - nayar!= nair
btw ur gk is becoming quite poor!
ReplyDeletehaha I don't watch Parks & Recreation or The Office. Got to know about Mindy only after I read her New Yorker article last month. And I observed she s been having a Fey like wave going on this year for her.
ReplyDeleteBut name vechu paatha, Ansari mattum Tamil nu solla mudiyuma ;)
ReplyDeleteaiyoo, i had never thought of the tamilness of ansari till now and now every single time i am going to look at him, the local pronunciation of ansari is going to come up.
ReplyDeleteParks & recreation needs to be watched only if it is streamed free or almost free on to your TV.
