sunil dearie...for once i have to disagree with you in this context........indians and that too a person who has done literature will never search for vocabulary,wordings,even sayings or content....they are well endowed with that ....but other things do matter...Parvathy did not impress me in any other aspect......infact i felt she was among the not so goodlooking and pretty women out there....russians or for that matter any non english speaking country cannot talk or find it difficult to express themselves.in English...so we win the audience and the judges in that aspect....see our history....sen,ash,yukta,lara,diana....all these girls spoke exceptionally well but they had the looks to go with it...parvathy loses there hands down......so she is lucky to come 1st runners up .....totally,entirely,exclusively my point of view....but i do not think this topic is suited here....
