Indian YouTube star Wilbur Sargunaraj makes a "first-class" Canada video
Feb 15th, 2011 at 1:00PM:
Wilbur Sargunaraj first became a viral hit with the YouTube video Love Marriage and has been called "India's first YouTube star," making songs and videos combining the "funny foreigner" schtick of Borat with a Bollywood beat. Sargunaraj's further projects have served to increase our "CQ" (cultural quotient) with "first class" videos like the informative how-to on using an Indian toilet.

Avoid eating cold dishes (especially in developing nations) - Dining out tip
Feb 20th, 2010 at 8:34AM: Having visited India several times in my life, I can confidently say that eating a cold dish is a one-way trip to the hospital. It's because food handling standards in some countries are not quite the same as in developed nations.
Foods to avoid include chilled sauces and desserts. It's actually a pretty easy tip to follow because most food is made hot and fresh. However, chilled foods are a ...Mumbai's Party Scene Takes a Hit
Nov 20th, 2008 at 1:00PM: Mumbai's rave scene has grown exponentially over the past few years. The influx of new money and the city's urban flare make it a ripe place for a party.

Oct 21st, 2006 at 8:00PM: If I had more time I swear I'd sit in a huge kitchen and learn how to cook all my favorite exotic Thai, Peruvian, Japanese, and Indian dishes. The problem is I just don't have the time. I'm on the go A LOT and while some of my hotel rooms are conveniently equipped with a microwave and fridge, trying to make tikka masala or anything curry is not likely to go over well. Anyhow, my daydreams of being ...Word for the Travel Wise (10/08/06)
Oct 8th, 2006 at 8:00PM: Having recently purchased a small Lakota dictionary for beginner's I thought I'd put it to use here on Gadling. Lakota won't be a language you run around using on a daily basis even with the majority of speakers in the U.S. For the following word I please note the letter 'n' should be more like a 'n' with a 'j' hanging from the second line of the 'n'. I don't have the correct character key, but ...
