At last, Paul arrives in Chennai and heads to the beach to relax. He swiftly discovers that relaxing is the last thing Indians do on a beach. Walking along the shore, he is confronted by somersaults and cartwheels as the local stuntmen practice their moves. Chennai is the home of the hugely profitable, but often overlooked, Tamil film industry, known as Kollywood. Leaving the acrobats to it, Paul heads inland, only to discover another group on the sand. These men and women meet daily to practice the art of laughter yoga. This is an exercise involving laughing at nothing, which proves hard for a professional comedian such as Paul to endorse. Next up is a visit to India’s largest city. Known as the ‘City of Dreams’, Mumbai attracts people from all over the country. They come to seek their fortune, but despite Mumbai’s prosperous reputation many people slip through the cracks. Paul visits the central railway station and encounters some of the hundreds of street children who live rough and scratch a living from what they can scavenge from the trains. Mumbai is also home to a more glamorous world – India’s premier film industry, Bollywood, but Paul has heard of another very ‘alternative’ film industry, eight hours’ drive North in the industrial town of Malegaon. In this small, remote town Paul becomes immersed in their latest project: James Bond, Indian style, complete with toy chopper and the villainous Mr Burpy! Just days before his departure home, Paul heads back to Mumbai. While reading the local newspaper, he is surprised to discover that the city is home to a fan club dedicated to the quintessentially English author PG Wodehouse. Intrigued, he decides to spend an evening with these eccentric obsessives and discovers that the healing power of Wodehouse’s humour helps them cope with their hectic lives. Other stressed city residents turn to an altogether different solution – past life regression therapy. Popularised in the West, this therapy strikes a particular chord in a nation where reincarnation is a cornerstone of the culture. With an open mind, Paul meets the recent converts. Before Paul finally takes his leave of India, he cannot resist one more appointment. Over the past eight weeks he has encountered so many people who have found a way to stand out in this nation of over a billion people, so it seems only right that Paul should meet just one more record holder – a man who holds the world’s least desirable title… BB Nayak holds the record for having been kicked in the testicles the most times in one minute!
