Nautanki.tv : Now a Bollywood Channel on Internet

-
During Vikalp's Festival at National College Bandra, Sunil Nair ofNautanki tv has made presentation of this new exciting medium.I saw his presentation and feel that it may provide new avenues to producers and directors with limited means and resources to reach out the entire movie buffs, this may provide them alternate route to earnmoney.

Business Today a leading business magazine has described Tautanki tvas 10 start ups of the year to be watched.

You are well aware that the media pundits were waiting with bated breath for Star TV and Zee to launch Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) but now this group of media and technology professionals haspulled the carpet from under their feet by launching a 24-hour online channel called Nautanki (www.nautanki.tv). There's a great width of offerings on the channel, ranging from humourand documentaries to films made for the medium. And, unlike theregular TV channels, this is truly an on-demand medium, so watch whatyou want when you want.Nautanki boasts fairly impressive content. Rauf Tales, for example,has Rauf Ahmed (former editor of Screen!) reveal little known facts about Bollywood. Kunal Kumar has a retrospective which makes for interesting viewing, and it was the "featured" live program when Isurfed.The streaming is at more than satisfactory quality and speed, andthere's no sense of the frustration one normally experiences waitingfor a clip to buffer and download. Whether it remains so in the futurewhen the site receives high traffic (it's currently beta, and theformal launch is a month away, one hears) will be a significant factorin how well it does.There's a lot more one can do on Nautanki than just watch films.

Here's what else you can do, as described on the site:nautanki.TV is a place for people to watch original Indian content in new ways withvideo by sharing, commenting on, and viewing videos.With nautanki.TV, people can:

* Comment, rate, discuss and share videos worldwide

* Participate in sponsored events, live shows
* Customize the experience by subscribing to member videos, savingfavourites, and creating playlists
* Integrate nautanki.TV videos on websites using video embeds or APIs
* At a later date be able to upload and share their own videos

This service is CURRENTLY free, but that it will move to a paid subscription model for"premium" content.TV channels on your phone. So nautanke tv is a Bollywood TV channel right on your laptop. Nautanki tv has interesting sections Mirch Masala, Philumwallas, Soul Curry, Chakachak, Angoor,Republic.

Is Kedli Mother of Idli : Tried To Find Out Answer In Indonesia

-

Recently I traveled to Indonesia and surprised to learn that culturally Indonesian are very close to us. Even their food has certain commonality. And interestingly I come to know that our very own Idli has its origin in Indonesia. Let us start with religion. Hindu and Budhist influences arrived in this archipelago much before birth of Jesus Christ. It is however unclear that how the cultural and spiritual ideas from India were diffused in the area. It appears that there had been regular trade links between southern part of India with Ceylon, Java, Sumatra, Bali as well as many other Islands in Indian as well as Pacific ocean. The traders from India brought their cultural, culinary and religious influences. Java legends refer to Saka-era, traced to 78 AD . Stories from the famous epic Mahabharat have been traced in Indonesian islands to the 1st century; whose versions mirror those found in southeast Indian peninsular region. The Javanese prose work Tantu Pagelaran of the 14th cent...

Elton John is my most favorite singer. He is a singer, songwriter, pianist and composer all rolled into one. In terms of sales, he is the fourth-best-selling music artist worldwide . In 1998, he was knighted by British Queen this got ‘Sir’ title, but for music lover like me whether he is Sir or not a Sir , it is immaterial. He has won heart of millions of music lovers, that is more important. These days I am living in Harrow Burroughs of London, Pinner is a part of it. Yesterday I was in Pinner Library and out of a conversation between two young ladies I come to know that this international rock sensation was born and brought up in this area only. I asked the ladies  about the details. Than they shared that he was born in house at 55, Pinner Hill Road in March 1947. One of them told me more : that he was the eldest child of Stanley Dwight and the only child of Sheila Eileen. The boy was named Reginald Kenneth Dwight, and raised in the council house of his grandparents at 55, Pinn...
