This article appeared in today's Herald Sun (Melbourne, Australia) :

"SEVENTY-year-old Shyam Lal had the shock of his life when two envoys of
a US company knocked on his New Delhi door to give him more money than
he had earned in the past four years.
After an exhaustive search they gave him a cheque for $775, earnings
from his unwitting appearance in an American advertising campaign.
Tazo Tea's Steven Smith, on his honeymoon two years ago, handed Mr Lal a
pack of tea and snapped his picture, intending it for his album.  It was
later used in the campaign and the company decided to do the right thing
and pay Mr Lal a modelling fee."


Cheers,
