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!!
