We have been reluctant to post about NBC's, "Outsourced" because of titles like "A Sitar is Born" from Season 1: Episode 11 (air date 01.20.11) Clever titles like this make us proud to know that the producers care about India's perception on those lacking a knowledge of Indian culture...
I have to digress, or my rant will start look like the scroll on which Jack Kerouac wrote, "On the Road". Yes I watch this show on Hulu. On my own time, just in case someone tries to use these shows as basis of Indian reality. Okay I will stop!
This episode caught our attention because it featured something called "Gup-tees". How could we resist?
Hulu's description:
Todd discovers Madhuri has an amazing singing voice and encourages the staff to enter a talent contest. But it's Gupta who really wants into the spotlight.
A picture of Madhuri wearing the Gup-tee which was forced upon her during the contest. Of course Madhuri is well versed with the Harmonium. Something that she probably, practices after working twelve hours at the call center, just like any good Indian girl!?!?
"Ask me About" stems from their jobs, where they are supposed to sell novelty items to Americans.
Todd and Madhuri, rocking their Gup-Tees on stage. At least they were authentic, by putting the t-shirt over Madhuri's Salwar Kameez.
