I have a Tata Sky connection right from the time they probably started service in India. So it is natural for my friends and relatives to be surprised when I tell them that I don’t watch TV. The expressions range from dismay to shock to confusion. The type is directly proportional to age group and Read more about Why I don’t watch (Indian) TV[…]
