Inspiring Images of India


Have you ever noticed that most of the inspiring images of India come from the VIDESHI (foreign) channels. What you can see on India channel is a mental rape of sense and sensibilities, sas-bahu, political pimps and farting intellectuals. Just few days back on some news channel I heard Laloo saying "this is good that Ganga Mayya has come to us", this was his comments on recent flood in Patna, Bihar. Naseeruddin Shah has once said in his television interview that " after 20 years if your child asks you to show how India was now, you won't have any single movie to show it to him because none of the movie depicts India". But fortunately channels like Discovery India and National Geographic show the real India, be it rural india or urban india, be it culture or science. Similarly the news of CNBC India is more inspiring that Aaj Tak which is more about, how politicians are ruining our country and how we are blindly enjoying it. Relax it's democrazy....

Something inspiring from NG India as reported on Agencyfaqs!....
National Geographic Channels International (NGCI) and the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) have announced a call for entries for its second year Documentary Production Fund.

NGCI-EDB fund was founded with an aim to create and promote the documentary filmmaking skill base in Asia. Taking the initiative forward, a new documentary fund is being launched this year and proposals are being invited from all over Asia including India. NGCI will commission 12 one-hour documentaries based on entries. The last date for submission of the proposal is October 3, 2003.
