Nshima & Curry

Santa brought gifts -- all the way from Jalandhar

My kids had a great Christmas, with some nice gifts, mostly from their Aunt and Uncle in Pennsylvania, but also from the man in the red suit, who came all the way from ... Jalandhar, India.

North Pole? No, not according to the funny clip below. It's from the 1998 Christmas Special of the short-lived BBC sketch show "Goodness Gracious Me," starring Sanjeev Bhaskar and Meera Syal. You can watch the entire special in five parts on YouTube. Also worth watching: "I'm a Punjabi Girl."

12 days of Christmas, Indian style

It's that time of year again and, even if you've seen Boymongoose's 12 days of Christmas a dozen times, as my wife and I have, it's worth seeing again.

Boymongoose, according to his website, is "an Indian Christmas Popstar who specialises in comedic remakes of all the classic Christmas Carols." He recently released a music video called Single Girls, which is funny, but not quite the classic that 12 days of Christmas is.

You know you're Indian when ...

... you wonder if 13-year-old Rohan will someday be a good match for one of your daughters.

Crank dat curry sauce

Since this blog has "curry" in its name, I just had to post this funny video.

And you thought Indians couldn't get the groove on!
