I watched an episode of WORLD CAFE ASIA, about cooking in Chennai,
Tamil Nadu, India.
In the first half: I was lying back on a couch, playing with my tablet
computer. Glancing at the TV occasionally, hearing but not really
listening, or paying much attention. However, when I heard words which
I knew about Tamil Nadu (from the website I have written about the
place), such as the Koddambakkan district, my interest was piqued. I
looked at a satellite picture of Chennai on my tablet, and showed my
father what appeared to be a cricket stadium (he is a cricket fan.) I
walked into the kitchen to fix myself a drink.
In the second half of the show, I got myself a notebook and pen so I
could take notes on the show if necessary. Looked at the screen for
most of the time, and I have to say, I do remember now (one day later)
more from the second half of the show than I remember from the first
half. I was still lying slouched on the sofa, but I was facing the
screen, with few distractions.
