    On re-watch, I noticed how much I enjoyed listening to Jaskaran’s Texan accent!

      Cognitive dissonance! I asked my friend, Ranbir Singh if he knew Jaskaran, as he lives in Dallas, near Plano! I met an Asian guy who is the President & founder of a company MFJ in Mississippi. When I met him many years ago, I had your reaction to his Deep Southern accent! Life is wonderful!
