@@hoflestv The English people gave the English language to Indians, but when they left, "MOST" of the English language also left with them. Consider this, in absolute numbers, there are many urban Indians who can speak "BASIC" conversational English, but how many Indians have as FLAWLESS COMMAND over the English language as a native English literary expert? Only a very minute number of them, and the first name from that class that comes to your mind is Mr Shashi Tharoor. In this sense, he took back the "ENTIRE" English language that had left with the English people.

I think a lot of Stand up comics should watch this video..what a tight set! The jokes were relentless..smooth flow and nuanced hard hitting scenarios that make this so enjoyable!
