With more than Rs.2 billion raked in at the box office by the blockbuster hits, Bollywood is clearly on a roll
A combination of all three factors seems to have ensured that Bollywood enters a new era. To be sure, making movies even in the new age will, like marriage, remain a gamble. No one can say with certainty that a movie will be a sure fire hit, or a flop for that matter. Yet, Bollywood will increasingly resemble Hollywood in the future, where ‘factories’ manufacture a clutch of movies. Many of them will flop; but the few hits will ensure that the factories report a fat bottom line, ensuring desired returns to their investors and shareholders…..

Regulation is another key area of concern in the industry. SEBI, which also extends its supervision over capital markets, somehow finds time to regulate the operation and management of mutual funds as well. The series of controversies that took place involving Alliance Capital Mutual Fund (ACMF) and Samir Arora, its erstwhile star fund manager regarding internal control practices clearly sends signals for the requirement of careful watchdogs for the industry….

Rice also sacrifices a considerable part of her forceful, laconic writing style as she delivers her eulogy of Christ. Purists may question her religious credentials; nevertheless, Christ The Lord is laudable for its attempt to earnestly portray the human side of Jesus, as he says, “My fear rose in me and became a thing always with me, so that all happiness seemed finally to be a dream, even in the brightest sunlight.”

But the most attractive aspect is Marconi’s R&D activities in the UK. This is because Marconi’s technology is extremely useful in converging Ericsson’s mobile and traditional telecom businesses, apart from IP telephony.

Equally ‘bountiful’ and well-endowed are this land’s lovely ladies, having won the maximum number of international pageants, fail not to catch your eye (boys will be boys, you see, age notwithstanding!) Anyway, having to make do with just-as delectable arepas and cachapas at the hotel, I strolled to the sea shore to fill in as much of the invigorating feel of this ‘fairy’land (fairies galore certainly, but more like mermaids; what with the beautiful sea for a backdrop!) before my impending departure.

Foreign Tourist Arrivals In India (IIPM Publication)

The world is indeed feeling good about visiting India, as numbers indicate. In­dia, as a tourist destination, had started to ‘shine’ in 2003-04, as the number of foreign tourist arrivals rose from 2.38 million in 2002 to about 3.40 million in 2004. Quite a feat this, considering that it was the first time that foreign tourist arrivals in India had crossed the 3 million mark. The number of foreign visitors in August this year was at 281,670, surpass­ing last year’s figures of 263,511 for the same month, last year. For­eign exchange earnings from tourism show that the opti­mism is not ill-placed. India earned $3 billion as foreign exchange from tourism in 2001, which jumped to more than $4.3 billion in 2004. Definitely there is no scope for complacency though. Ac­cording to the World Trade Organisation figures, India’s share of inbound tourist arrivals in Asia Pacific region, in 2003, was a miniscule 2.3%. Compare that just to regions like Thailand (8.5%), Singa­pore (4.8%) and Hong Kong (13%), and we get the idea. There is hardly any merit for comparisons with China (27.6%) at this stage in time!......
