And here I was thinkg I was the only one seeing one episode a week.

I wrote about this too in my post, albeit only a paragraph. <br /><br />But I do have some respect for Ms. Sawant. She's using her brains well and striking a pot of gold by doing so.<br /><br />Though I still have a nagging feeling that she won't <i>actually</i> marry one of these guys. She claims to leave Bombay and live with her future husband if she has to.. I mean, will she seriously do that?
