Ram da, You are right. Keith Oberman did not highlight Bolin's talent (as singing without opening his mouth .......)! KO did sarcastically mention at the end, "It is humming ... "! As you mentioned, he got some publicity!!!!
But if I am Bolin, I would still be happy to get a exposure like this! In Assam/India, very few people know about KO/MSNBC. But people will know that Bolin was in American TV!!!!! hah!

I'm glad that Mr. Medhi has got some exposure because of this coverage in MSNBC. Now, the mainstream Indian media will of course also cover it, and hopefully Mr. Medhi benefits from it. But Keith Obermann usualy has stories like this in his odd-ball section. It is usually to make fun of odd news in different countries. He has several from India - one with a truck going over a person (some competition), another of actor Rajnikant giving a cigarette to a 5 year old, another of a guy with long nails and so forth. Basically, what I'm saying is that Keith O does NOT bring out these stories and talents in the right spirit, but rather as a subject of ridicule. I could be wrong, but thats the way I see it - with a grain of salt! --Ram On 4/4/08, J Kalita <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I watched the video. Mr. Medhi must have been singing a Bihu tune!
