Desi Comedy Writers and Producers

There's a lot of us out there. Nirali Mag did a good job of highlighting a few of them, and their path.

I liked it that Mindy Kaling of "The Office" is not someone who came through the "desi scene" route, yet is really aware of race issues. And that Veena Sud (who used to be known as Veena Cabreros Sud, and used to be a poet and independent filmmaker) has been around for a lot longer than the other people, and has really made her own way.

Its really cool that its not all men!

Sendhil Ramamurthy: US or UK raised?

I'm wondering how Sendhil Ramamurthy (one of the main characters on NBC's new hot series "Heroes" got to studying in London. This article says he was born in the US, but not if he was raised there. He went to drama school in London, UK, and seems to have (or act) a very English-y Indian accent. I cant seem to find any info that clarifies his growing up experience. Sendhil Ramamurthy is definitely an actor who is good at playing a non-stereotypical Indian (from India) character. He doesnt have a stereotypical accent, for starters. I wonder if any Heroes fans have answers.

There's "The Papdits" on CBS's Inner Tube:
