by Eklavya on October 12, 2010

KBC 4 the  legendary ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ series has started influencing India in a big way. Right from its second day itself, it has dominated the search engine Google’s top searched queries at night.

Just see this figure of Google Hot Trends :

Do the search terms have any similarities?

If you have seen  the today’s episode of KBC, you must have remembered this question:

Which among the following personalities have been a pilot in Indian Air Force?

(a) Rajiv Gandhi (b) Jaswant Singh (c) Suresh Kalmadi (d) Captain Satish Sharma.

To the disbelief of the majority, the right answer of this question was (c) Suresh Kalmadi.

You can see that how frenetically these personality  were searched during the time this question was being asked in KBC.

The term ‘ Suresh Kalmadi profile’ attained Volcanic proportion during 9-10 PM today on Google. This is because the just about everybody with a simultaneous internet and TV access was searching for the answer of this question.

Not even Kalmadi, the colour of an Octopus’s blood (another question at KBC)  also dominated the search scenario.

KBC 4 has arrived with a bang.
