A Pittsburgh Indian-American in Minneapolis

Why is Minneapolis better than Pittsburgh? Just ask this Yinzer:

The presence of successful Indians, as professionals, academics, entrepreneurs and now as highly valued IT whizkids, in the U.S. has undoubtedly given a boost to Bollywood’s high visibility. A Pittsburgh resident told me in envious tones that cable TV at the hotel she had stayed in Minneapolis had 10 Hindi films on demand! An au pair from Peru helping an Indian family with small kids knows of Amitabh Bachchan and can hum a few catchy songs.

Does she know about Bollyburgh?
