Jackwa aur Jillwa
I’ve been tweeting on and off about Bigg Boss 3, which I’m totally hooked to, and for those of you still immune to its charms, I present a clip that might persuade you to give it a shot.

Raju is totally my favourite to win Bigg Boss this season. Did you see him with Sher Chops in the pool the other day?
Update: And ah, here’s how NDTV would report the whole Jack & Jill episode. Marvellous.
