i just had a epiphany/hypothesis (depending on who's reading)...i think the state of our economy, specifically as reflected in the stock markets is highly correlated to the creative health of our film industry...the late eighties through early nineties when our country had to ship out our gold reserves to gain a loan is probably also the period (in my memories at least) when hindi movie creativity had filed for chapter 11...the bleakest cheapest period of creative bankruptcy that i've seen
so am basically happy right now...global tough times notwithstanding...दिल गिरा कहीं...दफ्फतन

rehman...you beauty...keep 'em coming
