THE INDIAN CONNECTION (the concluding part)

Hello Everybody,

How have you been??

Today I bring to you the concluding part of last week's posting on THE INDIAN CONNECTION. So, am back with the never ending list of people who somewhere have an Indian lineage behind them or some of our very own people from India have made it big or let's put it striving hard to make it big in the global arena in the area of performing arts....yes in films! I certainly appreciate their efforts which are praiseworthy....after all its not a rosy path to make your mark in a foreign soil....a new place, new set of people, diverse cultures, different work culture & ethics all of which bring in different set of challenges...and to start from there and to rise to great heights....is not a joke!!

THE INDIAN CONNECTION!

Hello Everybody,

After weeks of tiring you endlessly on the situation prevalent in India and over the world, today I have come up with an interesting post for you. You’d surely agree with me when I say that India has made a mark in every field be it science, technology, education, IT & computers etc and certain names like Lakshmi Mittal, Sabeer Bhatia, Indra Nooyi, Kalpana Chawla, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw are among the names that come to your mind when I ask you to enlist the people who have brought India on to the world map.

But today I’m going to talk of people in the area of performing arts, who have made a mark in the foreign soil but with a difference…yes they have an Indian lineage behind them, some of them may be Indians who have had a successful innings as a model, actor or actress etc in Hindi films first but have gone on to carve a distinct identity for themselves in Hollywood,whether they may have been successful or not…but their effort is certainly laudable because they dared to think out of the box and not surprising that today Hollywood actors are being directed by their Indian counterparts!! 

ROYAL SPLENDOUR & DESI BEATS: RECOUNTING WILL-KATE NUPTIALS & WORLD CUP 2011

Hi Friends!

How's life? Trust all's well with you and your loved ones. In the last two months I wrote on happenings and events in my country and around the world that didn't give us much of a reason to smile or celebrate about....well then let's compensate you all for that! :-)  

Ah....the taste of victory!

Let's start with India first...well, though there has been no respite from the scam and corruption in our country,but we do have crusaders like Anna Hazare who keep the government under checks and balance.But before Anna Hazare's movement could commence early last month, on 2nd April 2011 (Remember this date, it's history and finds a direct entry into sports lovers journals of reference)both India and Indians all over the world had a reason to celebrate when the Indian cricket team brought home the coveted World Cup after 28 long years and not before beating reigning favorites Australia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka as we marched past to the big WIN.
