In due course more actors and actresses will enter Bollywood from western countries. This is because of globalisation and Indian love for fair skin. I don't think any African girl will make it to Bollywood.
Yes it right that any actress from African countries never success in India, but it is also fact that we like fair skin but not white skin.

Of course anti virus is a must when you are using the net, I doubt if any user uses his or her computer without an anti virus ! Coming back to passwords, I know of some people who use a number of sites using the same password , which I feel is not at all safe ! It is no doubt difficult to remember all the pass words , but one has to take the trouble by noting it down somewhere safe ..

I agree...In Kannada films there is or was a negro actor called Negro Johny , he acts as a villain in most of the films, but I find the way he is referred to by the media very cheap . Where is the need to add the word negro to his name ?

Thanks for the link Usha. It contains breakfast items that are traditionally made across the country. I make kane pohe, and pohe of other variatns by adding other veggies such as potato, cauliflower, peas etc. Upma, idli, dosas, among other items.
Pohe is one of my favorites too and when you add vegetables , it becomes very nutritious and tasty ! In Mangalore we even make a sweet dish by adding grated coconut, crushed Jaggery, Honey, Cardomom powder and chopped Bananas to it, basically just mixing everything together. It is very tasty and we serve it with Neer Dosa , a variety of Dosa made with thin rice batter.

There were several other such minor incidents which left a mark on me and others as well. I met the nuns many years later and we spoke on the same subject and they did feel that they could have avoided it.This changed view was probably because of the changed atmosphere in Mangalore and Bangalore where Hindus had begun to strike back by then and were not ready to take such things lying down !
The Christian educational institutions which are run by Parish Priests are all right because they give necessary freedom to all children. But in convent schools, the nuns are always very strict and rude and do not give freedom to children. They do not know the feelings of children because they are not mothers. Rejecting children from wearing their own religious symbols are too much. Never do like that. But there is one plus point for convent schools that the children who studied in convent schools are always seemed to be so smart as a result of their proper training.
Absolutely ! Even today Convent and Christian schools are known for their quality education and some of the best institutions in the country are run by Christians . They have also become much more accommodating now which is a plus point and in my own case , I was definite about sending my children to Christian institutes for their basic education which was done and I feel that it has helped them a lot !

All past civilizations - Chinese Egyptian, Greek or Indian were culturally rich and people seem much more daring and outgoing from what we perceive although it may be the few belonging to the creamy layer who got the opportunity to do so ! Since then though we have evolved in many ways, we also are facing the negative impact that is bound to be there when there is change in the structure of the society and lifestyle ! Democracy in India has come with a heavy price !

Acting is a good profession to make money. People who are capable in acting can act in any film. Country and language is not a problem in acting. People are always ready to welcome handsome actors and beautiful actresses.
