The other day, I downloaded a three-hour in-depth interview with Salman Rushdie, conducted on C-span network's BOOK TV. It was such a wonderful show, where apart from the knowledgeable host, so many other intelligent readers from across the U.S. also had the opportunity via phone-in, to ask some real searching questions to their favorite author. Sometimes, I really feel envious of the people in the United States, for having the option of tuning into C-span, PBS, A&E, and NPR. These are the gold mine of knowledge. How I wish something similar was available in India.
