Bombay-Goa(India)

It was my last day in Bombay..4 days is really not enough..
there is so much to discover..I did not go to Elephanta..
these caves are dedicated to Shiva..Elephanta is an island..
about 10kms.offshore greater Bombay..maybe next time??
another thing in Bombay..everybody talks about Indian movies..
Bollywood produces quite a number of movies on yearly basis...
Indians have an obsession for movies..almost every street corner
gets a huge publicity board with nice painted scenes..
the usual plots in Indian movies are a villain,a hero,some heroin,
lots of dancing and singing..in the beginning 70's sex..
or even just a kiss..were taboo..nowadays..there is a tendency
for more violence and sex..although complete nude scenes..
are very much frowned upon..in Hindi movies they are absent..
the new age film producers like Mrinal Sen,S.Ray,Mira Nair..
try to make different kind of movies..mostly better appreciated
abroad then in India itself..but still..the succes..the glamour/glitter
of Indian movie blockbuster movies..like Sholay(1976)will remain
in every movie goer's mind forever..nowaday's movie stars...
got such a high status..they are almost gods..when Uttan Kumar
died in Calcutta..the whole city was mourning..when Amitab got
sick in hospital..crowds and wellwishers all day long outside..
I've seen quite a number of Indian movies..not bad..but..Indian..
the formula..hopping around in Kasjmir in a meadow..still works..
Shabana Azmi is my favorite actress..she's really very good..
she portrays to me..all good values in life..she's an activist..
for social justice..she got lots of criticism for what she stands for...
and she's damn beautiful as well..here are some links about her movies..

a real controversial movie was the Bandit Queen..Phoolan devi..
I'll try to get some links about Bollywood etc..
so..in the early evening..I went to Bombay Docks..
and boarded the ferry towards Goa...and..I met a Dutch couple..
going the same way..funny..I was able to speak my own language..
or let's say a dialect of Dutch(Flemish)nice couple they were..
