My poor, terribly gullible dad thought Mr and Mrs Iyer was moving and suggested to the rest of us to watch it if we got the chance. What is it about Hindus that we are so easily misled by propaganda? Guessing it's because we don't think others would lie; also we are self-critical to the extreme and have zero expectations of improvement in others though we expect everything from ourselves.
