MONEY TO BE MADE ---- On Your PC.
WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT IS A BIG BUSINESS IN INDIA, AND THE INDIAN BLOGCOUNT RECENTLY PASSED THE ONE MILLION MARK, AS INDIAN BLOGWATCH REPORTED. Like in other countries, Indians are learning there is money to be made in making websites. If I were Indian, I would definitely be well on the way to making a fulltime living from Google Adsense! Thanks to Adsense, a blogger in New Delhi can earn the same 5 cents for an ad-click as a blogger in Detroit. For many Adsense users in the developing world, that opportunity has become perhaps the most unintentional - and most successful - development program to spring from the online revolution (as it was reported elsewhere!) How much does it cost to live in India anyway? can $10 per day get you through? It probably can in Vietnam, where I am headed!
ROUGHLY two months later, in February 2008, I returned to Koenji to see Umesh -- it was a truly brutal Sunday afternoon, wind blowing a gale and cold as hell. All the trains delayed by the wind and me wanting to give up the fight and go home, but I decided to persevere. Even though I was getting freeze-dried on all the cold west Tokyo train platforms. Things looked warmer in Koenji's PAL Arcade however, with curry shops all over the place, and the atmosphere positively screaming Little India, as the Japanese "king of subculture" Jyun Miura once observed. Umesh made some steaming food and we cracked open a few bottles of beer, ice cold of course. It was cricket season down Under, and Umesh was following the action in the India vs Australia One Day game at the SCG -- not on TV or radio or online TV, but by merely watching a text feed updated delivery by delivery, over by over. It was like watching a scoreboard -- changes in the numbers denoted action, a leg-bye here, a boundary there. About as far from high fidelity as you can imagine, but at least it was live (real time), and it was in its own way, absolutely riveting (admittedly, it was an unusually exciting match.) Umesh was barracking for the Indians, and I was barracking for the Aussies, and we were drinking big bottles of Asahi beer, and downing a range of Nepali treats. There was no picture and there was no sound, but we had the power of imagination (the world's first Virtual Reality.) In my mind's eye I could picture the valiant efforts of the Indians, in the closing overs, to reach Australia's 7/317 (they were eventually dismissed for 299.) I could imagine the lanquid warmth and drunken hysteria permeating the Sydney Cricket Ground, my Dad cursing the TV and perhaps even launching the remote-con at it, as it seemed that India might have a chance of winning. It was a vivid moment which proved that sometimes imagination outclasses technology; and the nearest memory it evoked, was listening to the action at Lords on shortwave radio, when I was about eight-years-old and living on the NSW Central Coast. Those were the days when books had better special effects, than the Hollywood recreations of them (I am thinking in particular of JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings). The following night, at my singing job in Shinjuku, I related the story to my Kiwi coworker D. "It is a pity there is nowhere on the Internet you can watch the cricket live," I remarked. "But there is," D. said. "Why don't you try Sopcast? There is some Indian guy running it, feeding cable TV live on to the Net."
DO YOU WANT TO WORK FROM HOME? ---- Advice for the Do It Yourselfer
ADVICE for website developers (and those wanting to develop their own website) from Advanced Internet Technologies; "You should see to it that your site has a consistent look throughout.
"This means a standard use of fonts, colours, image styles, layout styles, navigation style etc. Don't just plonk an animated gif somewhere that you got off another site, since it'll probably clash unknowingly with yours, for example.
"Your background colours should remain the same throughout, and you should pay attention to the little things like keeping the fonts in the text defined in html. Avoid the over usage of fonts.
"Header images for sections ought to have the same style as each other, which should in turn be related to the main look of the logo (colours, fonts etc).
"The most surprising thing about web designing is that there aren't actually that many things to learn about creating an effective and a professional-looking site!
"You don't need expensive html editors - just a text editor and a halfway decent image editor..."
If you have Sopcast (or if you don't), here are some resources which may be interesting for you:
Allwebco.
BOASTS "complete web templates with built-in scripts...
SEO friendly HTML templates with Flash animations... plain text menus in all template models... built for both novice users and professionals alike... comprehensive support area and timely e-mail support... more than 10 years in business supplying professional designs... both high-end and budget templates starting at $15..."

APUNKACHOICE reported recently (December 02, 2008), in the breaking news department: "Superstar AMITABH BACHCHAN has cancelled an invitation of former US president BILL CLINTON to participate in his Clinton Global Initiative after the terror strikes in Mumbai, saying he wanted to be in the country during this time of crisis.
"'I cancelled. I am NOT going to leave my country in this troubled hour to travel to a foreign land to lend cause to a foreign initiative, patronized and guided by a foreigner, for his benefit!! I need to see initiative here in my country,' he wrote in his blog.
"The actor has also cancelled his participation in LIVE EARTH CONCERT, which was scheduled for 6th and 7th December in Mumbai.
"'I am NOT going to sing and dance at a time when my country and city bleeds, even though the funds collected were going to be for charity. They can keep their initiative to themselves,' said Bachchan.
"Taking a dig at the political system, Bachchan said, 'Cynical and provocative text come in describing the ridiculous utterances of the system and those that run it. And actions to placate themselves of dire circumstances, prevail among ruling governance.'
"The actor said he shared the anger and frustration of the countrymen over the situation. 'Never ever have I observed the extent of extreme anger in each and every individual of this country towards those that sit in the seat of authority and system and power,' he wrote.
 Bollywood Revealed
THIS site is brimming with quality downloads but the best thing about it is that, since it is a blog, it is constantly updated. This is the place to go looking for new Hindi movie music. For example, some of the recent posts include "Here is yet another good quality promo video of the song Mastam Mastam from the upcoming Bollywood movie Yuvvraaj. Download the video and enjoy!" That post was posted on Friday, November 14, 2008. The previous day, Bollywood Revealed had blogged: "Here is the latest audio release from the Bollywood movie SORRY BHAI. Download and enjoy!"

 Hindi Song Lyrics.
ACCORDING to the website this is the largest resource for Hindi song lyrics on the Internet. A bold claim but it may well be true! "We have an exclusive hindi lyrics collection starting from old hindi songs to latest bollywood songs released this week. On this site you will find hindi lyrics classified by singers, movie titles & lyricists. The lyrics database of hindilyrix.com is updated weekly with hindi lyrics from latest film songs."
That's right, at Hindi Lyrix you can find lyrics to Hindi songs classified by singers, movie titles and lyricists. Since we covered the A list earlier at the apparently now defunct Crimson Bay, here's a good chance to list the B-sides listed at Hindi Lyrix -- according to the title of the Bollywood movie from which they spring:

 Smash Hits.
THIS site has nothing to do with the great Smash Hits magazine I used to enjoy as a boy growing up in Australia in the 1980s, loaded with gossip on all the great pop stars of the age (Norway's aforementioned A-Ha among them.) This is a jam-packed repository of Hindi songs, Hindi music. You can also find music from elsewhere in India, such as Gujarati. The A to Z spread of downloadable songs is truly inspiring.

 Veoh -- Free Videos Online, Watch TV Online.
THERE are apparently millions of videos here available for free viewing, from all over the world (including India and the subcontinent). A recent search under the term "Hindi" dredged up 50 pages of results. These were mostly short dance and music based clips taken from movies, for example Aap Ki Khatir, Aapne Yaad, Adnam Sami -- Baarish, Baazigar O, Bebasi Dard Ka (from the movie Baabul), Chak De Phatte, Chale Jaise, Chalte Chalte, Dekhiya Hai Sari, Ek Pardesi, Gorie Gorie (accordian instrumental), Ishq Bina, Jeena, Kajra Mohabbat, Kiya Kiya, Kya Mujhe, Lambi Judai, Masha-Allah, Maula, O Piya, Ramta Jogi, Rang De Basanti, Saaqi Saaqi (from the movie Musafir), Say Na Sya Na, Shael -- Soniye, Tinka Tinka (from Karam), Ude Jab Jab, Ustad Sultan, Vaada Karo, Yeh Sama Yeh, Zindagi Kaise (from the Bollywood movie Anand, Zubaan Pe Daad, and so on, and so on, and so on.
MUMBAI CINEMAS.
I PROMISED YOU A LIST OF PLACES TO GO TO IN MUMBAI TO WATCH QUALITY (AND NOT SO QUALITY) BOLLYWOOD CINEMA. Well, here is that list. If you ever come to Mumbai, you should at least watch one movie in a proper cinema, since audience participation can often be more exciting than the actual content up on the screen. Watching Bollywood back at the hotel on cable TV -- preferably with a group of Indians around you -- can also be fun.
Now five other films, Sahib Biwi aur Ghulam, Arth, Don, Umraojaan and Sholay are in the works.
However the remake formula is a not guarantee of success.
Only 10 of the 105 films produced between January and June this year recovered their costs at the box office.
EVERY YEAR THRONGS OF INDIANS HEAD TO MUMBAI IN SEARCH OF FAME AND FORTUNE IN THE BOLLYWOOD MOVIE MACHINE. The competition for jobs and roles is so intense, it is only natural that a growing number of acting and film-making schools have grown up in Mumbai. At such schools real stars and legends of the Bollywood tradition form part of the curriculum, in the flesh, as live instructers and lecturers.

Another out-of-towner, but this facility might be of interest to readers, so I decided to include it. According to the information I have, Imago School of Acting offers several courses in performing arts and drama. It is also a theatre company for students, providing them with reallife dramatical experience.
DREAM FACTORY ---- Whats In A Name?
WHAT'S IN A NAME? Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan recently told 7Days that he hated the word "Bollywood" because "it makes it seem that the Hindi film industry is nothing but a
rip-off of Hollywood." Bachchan went on to say: "Actually, a lot of people are copying Bollywood movies. There is a man in Steven Spielberg's studio who makes it his sole business to watch Hindi films and remake them. Let me also tell you that George Lucas's "Star Wars" series is nothing but a take off on our "Ramayana" and "Mahabharatha" (both are Hindu mythological epics)."
A history lesson for you: Cinema arose in India in the early 20th Century, and then as now Mumbai/Bombay was the hub. In fact, Mumbai played host to the first movie screenings on the subconinent, in 1896, when the Lumiere Brothers' Chinematographe unveiled six soundless short films at Watson Hotel, Esplanade Mansion. Three years later Harishchandra Bhatvadekar (Save Dada) shot two short films and exhibited them under Edison's projecting kinetoscope.
By the 1920s the Indian film industry was pretty well established with a studio system in place. More than 1200 films were produced in this decade alone -- and this was still the silent era!
