Waking up to India, finally !!

A lot of movies have been made acknowledging the presence of the huge number of software techies in the West though most of these acknowledgments came from the Desis themselves. There have been a few instances where this fact has been portrayed by the Westerners, though very seldom.

Google has been feeding off our intelligence for quite some time now and it was expected that this would be visible in their PR exercises soon. A brilliant example of this is:

It was about time that either of Rakesh, Ramesh or Vivek (in this case) replace the till-now-present Marys, Ted, Rosss and Susans. How long would it take to see a Ted in the demos created by say indiatimes.com?

Lovely! I wonder how long it will be till the ponderings of Parminder and Venkatasubramanian upon whether to go to the nearby Dhaba or a Saravana Bhavan for dinner, will appear as the default pic GMail uses to show off its 'conversation' mode of displaying email :)

Nice find, more more more!
