Chittaswarup Urlacher and Manishankar Grossman

So the number one question that I've received during my trip to India is, "Will you be able to watch the Bears take on the Colts in the Super Bowl?" The answer is Yes! I'm actually sitting in my hotel room right now watching the game on ESPN India, where they are taking a break from their around the clock coverage of cricket and field hockey, to show the game.

To answer your next question, no I'm not seeing the commercials that people are seeing in the US. I'm watching an international feed and the last break included a commercial for some fancy Indian tea and another for a sitcom called Full Toss (yes, a cricket sitcom -- not sure if there's a Mr. Furley-type character) neither of which I'm guessing is not being included in the US coverage.


Also, since there are a lot of US Deloitte people visting Hyderabad this week, we are hosting a Super Bowl party at one of the local hotels where they will be showing a tape of the game. I'm guessing they will be serving Currywurst and Nachos with Yak Cheese.
