How could the gang go to India and not run into Babu Bhatt? I was sure, when I read the plot summary, that Babu's storyline would be picked up. Didn't he vow to someday, somehow, get revenge on "that very bad man" Jerry Seinfeld? Why go to India, of all places, if not for Babu?
I thought the show was unique and well written, but I was disappointed that this great character and link to seasons past wasn't included.

Besides which, I am sure the guy was Pakistani, not indian. [Babu Bhatt, btw, is probably the most ridiculous sounding unrealistic name the writers could have concocted for the character - ask anyone from the area]
Babu is kind of a nicknhame like "boss" or "important fella", Bhatt is not an uncomon Punjabi name so why shouldn't the writers come up with it? Running into Babu Bhatt in India would be kind of improbable - its a pretty big country.

Duh? 900,000,000 people? Duh? He's from Pakistan. I have a friend in Calgary - Do you know him? :-) Richard I know you meant to say they SHOULD have run into him. He should have been a rich restauranteur - maybe running a NY deli.
