To continue...


Talking about Bollywood, i happened to be in Goa for a few days and the unmistakable bollywood connection follows... out of the various beaches which are frequented by many tourists, there's one beach in particular which has something to "see", i'm talking about Vagatur, and if you ask me what's "famous" about this beach.. apart from the fabulous clean waters, it's also the place of the fort which was the location for the shooting of a popular movie Dil Chahta Hair (starring Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna amongst others)


ah well, there was the sign at the entrance to the site,


'This fort was used in the Hindi movie Dil Chahta Hai' - truly this country thrives on the backs of this one industry which unites people all over..


why at a recent gliteratti event, Javed Akhtar (a popular and well acclaimed lyricist and script writer remarked that this industry is single-handedly responsible for uniting the language of the entire nation, i.e. Hindi)


so in spite of all it's faults and it's set backs, the story moves on...

Totally agree that the entertainment industry gets any conversation going. I particularly remember Bal Thackeray's comment about Michael Jackson - "He used my loo!". What crap. (Pun not intended!)
