The first thing I look at when I see my laptop is the daily list of deaths, courtesy of Wiki.
The great majority of them are from India; not surprising, considering how COVID-19 is pandemic there.
But I have to wonder if this is the end of the "Bollywood" film industry.

The first thing I look at when I see my laptop is the daily list of deaths, courtesy of Wiki. The great majority of them are from India; not surprising, considering how COVID-19 is pandemic there. But I have to wonder if this is the end of the "Bollywood" film industry. I did obituaries about Indians, but then I wondered who knows about them, and scaled it down, and decided that at least one movie must have premiered at a renowned Film Festival, same goes for some south american countries and their 2000 tele-novellas episodes stars. No matter how wrong I am not mentioning, since this is an open room, anyone can put up an Orbit. I've wrote about a few Swedish crooners nobody has heard of, and so can anybody...
