A Tribute to Yash Chopra

Sudden demise of Yash Chopra shocked not only Boolywood community but the entire entertainment world in India; as, at 80 yrs, he was as young at heart as he was in real presence. His love for film and love for romance has been well documented; but, his death to Dengue fever remains unacceptable and leaves a very bad taste. But, will we change? The rich and famous are also now as vulnerable to Mosquito menace as people living in the slums of Mumbai. As a tribute to Yash Chopra; at least the Bollywood and other rich and famous persons living in the city should campaign and work for a clean and green Mumbai; so we may not lose another precious life to Dengue. The second thing I wish to request from Bollywood is to get together and give Hollywood a run for its money by making movies for Western & Asian audience while using Indian talent, Foreign Capital and Global Technology & Creativity. (Incidentally, in few years Indian authors and readers of English literature would surpass the native English speaking countries). That should be a fitting tribute to a person of Yash Chopra’s eminence and simplicity. Indian Govt. should create an Rs.1000 crore fund to unleash Indian culture as a foreign and economic policy instrument and accord Industry status to the Film Industry.
