"Yes, some women in Bombay openly sell their bodies for money to different customers every night, but they remain unknown throughout their life, although they become rich; but there are a few women who give their bodies to their patrons and sleep only with them for a few months, and consequently become famous actresses, obviously very rich and respected."Maria listens to every world very attentively, nodding at every pause Angela takes while speaking.Angela takes her in her arms and says, "This is really a very harsh world, my dear. They will eat you up if you do not stand up for yourself. Try to get as much as you can for your services. Once your beauty is gone, you will be a wasted object. Many Bollywood actresses have died in acute poverty because they believed the men in Bombay film industry, but when they began to lose their charm and beauty, they got replaced with some younger and more beautiful women."

Did you want Roohafza or sex, she asked?Both, he said.Pretending to be a White Russian royal running one of the most colourful brothels in Bombay, our Polish beauty queen escapes the tentacles of vengeful enemies, out to get her for being a Nazi SS Officer's mistress during World War II. Along the way, she attracts into her net a wide range of characters, mainly in India, building a web of intrigue, violence, sex, romance and wealth.Including multiple contenders for the Bad Sex Award - beat the one that includes RoohAfza syrup? All set in a post-Colonial neo-Colonial backdrop in an India that all are fleetingly aware exists, some know as it goes past their air-conditioned windows,, but few would write about. Markers along the way, this, the 2nd book in a trilogy after TRAIN TO GOA by the same author, gathers speed and moves at a breathless pace to leave you wondering - what and how will it end?Markers along the way will give you ideas. When the British left India, they left behind many markers, so that they could pick up on assets and lifestyles when they chose to return. One of these markers is a part of South Bombay, now called Mumbai, known as Ballard Estate.Everywhere else, almost, names and titles have changed. But not at Ballard Estate.The British way of life continues here. In more ways than one. Including, obviously, in this story of love, intrigue, commerce, war and trade; and much more, played out across a colourful canvas in the Tropics.Which comes down to the ropes, the question eternal.What do you do when you fall in love, variously, in India?Spanning a timeline from the Second World War to the '70s and then the '80s, and then into the present, geography from Europe to India, and a cast of characters from every corner in between, "Tropic of Ballard" traces also the fortunes and intersecting paths of two starry-eyed lovers young, Philonia and Nicky, who use Bombay as the fulcrum of their larger stage.Intersecting their lives is the beautiful but mysterious brothel operator, Galina, with claims of Polish descent, and her multiple lovers, who cross the paths of the two lovers in this wild ride that is the middle of a trilogy, previous and first part being TRAIN TO GOA by the same author and also available online only at Amazon.Bombay as it was in the '70s. And then again in modern times.And all that happens there.(With plenty of juicy insinuations and gossip, sure, too)(This is a work of fiction but if you recognise somebdy, then it is not my fault you did!!)

The Oxford Handbook of the British Musical provides a comprehensive academic survey of British musical theatre offering both a historical account of the musical's development from 1728 and a range of in-depth critical analyses of the unique forms and features of British musicals, which explore the aesthetic values and sociocultural meanings of a tradition that initially gave rise to the American musical and later challenged its modern pre-eminence. After a consideration of how John Gay's The Beggar's Opera (1728) created a prototype for eighteenth-century ballad opera, the book focuses on the use of song in early nineteenth century theatre, followed by a sociocultural analysis of the comic operas of Gilbert and Sullivan; it then examines Edwardian and interwar musical comedies and revues as well as the impact of Rodgers and Hammerstein on the West End, before analysing the new forms of the postwar British musical from The Boy Friend (1953) to Oliver! (1960). One section of the book examines the contributions of key twentieth century figures including Noel Coward, Ivor Novello, Tim Rice, Andrew Lloyd Webber, director Joan Littlewood and producer Cameron Macintosh, while a number of essays discuss both mainstream and alternative musicals of the 1960s and 1970s and the influence of the pop industry on the creation of concept recordings such as Jesus Christ Superstar (1970) and Les Misérables (1980). There is a consideration of "jukebox" musicals such as Mamma Mia! (1999), while essays on overtly political shows such as Billy Elliot (2005) are complemented by those on experimental musicals like Jerry Springer: the Opera (2003) and London Road (2011) and on the burgeoning of Black and Asian British musicals in both the West End and subsidized venues. The Oxford Handbook of the British Musical demonstrates not only the unique qualities of British musical theatre but also the vitality and variety of British musicals today.

Bollywood in Britain provides the most extensive survey to date of the various manifestations and facets of the Bollywood phenomenon in Britain. The book analyzes the role of Hindi films in the British film market, it shows how audiences engage with Bollywood cinema and it discusses the ways the image of Bollywood in Britain has been shaped. In contrast to most of the existing books on the subject, which tend to approach Bollywood as something that is made by Asians for Asians, the book also focuses on how Bollywood has been adapted for non-Asian Britons. An analysis of Bollywood as an unofficial brand is combined with in-depth readings of texts like film reviews, the TV show Bollywood Star (2004) and novels and plays with references to the Bombay film industry. On this basis Bollywood in Britain demonstrates that the presentation of Bollywood for British mainstream culture oscillates between moments of approximation and distancing, with a clear dominance of the latter. Despite its alleged transculturality, Bollywood in Britain thus emerges as a phenomenon of difference, distance and Othering.

What is most strikingly new about the transcultural is its sudden ubiquity. Following in the wake of previous concepts in cultural and literary studies such as creolization, hybridity, and syncretism, and signalling a family relationship to terms such as transnationality, translocality, and transmigration, 'transcultural' terminology has unobtrusively but powerfully edged its way into contemporary theoretical and critical discourse. The four sections of this volume denote major areas where 'transcultural' questions and problematics have come to the fore: theories of culture and literature that have sought to account for the complexity of culture in a world increasingly characterized by globalization, transnationalization, and interdependence; realities of individual and collective life-worlds shaped by the ubiquity of phenomena and experiences relating to transnational connections and the blurring of cultural boundaries; fictions in literature and other media that explore these realities, negotiate the fuzzy edges of 'ethnic' or 'national' cultures, and participate in the creation of transnational public spheres as well as transcultural imaginations and memories; and, finally, pedagogy and didactics, where earlier models of teaching 'other' cultures are faced with the challenge of coming to terms with cultural complexity both in what is being taught and in the people it is taught to, and where 'target cultures' have become elusive. The idea of 'locating' culture and literature exclusively in the context of ethnicities or nations is rapidly losing plausibility throughout an 'English-speaking world' that has long since been multi- rather than monolingual. Exploring the prospects and contours of 'Transcultural English Studies' thus reflects a set of common challenges and predicaments that in recent years have increasingly moved centre stage not only in the New Literatures in English, but also in British and American studies.

When composer A.R. Rahman's first film Roja was released in 1992, his astonishing music with its other-worldly melodies, tonal texture, pulsating rhythms made an instant impact in India. His abundantly flowing talent has given life to the scores of over a hundred films, including Dil Se, Bombay, Lagaan, Warriors of Heaven and Earth, 127 Hours and Jodhaa Akbar. According to a recent estimate by the BBC, 150 million copies of his albums have sold worldwide. A.R. Rahman has won a host of awards, together with a Golden Globe, a Bafta, two Oscars and two Grammys for his score in Slumdog Millionaire. In 2010, he received the Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian honour, awarded by the Government of India. Despite all his great success, Rahman remains a deeply private person, shying away from the glitz and glamour of show business. A.R. Rahman: The Spirit of Music is in the form of biographical conversations between the composer and Nasreen Munni Kabir in which we hear of Rahman's amazing journey from modest beginnings to an assured place in world music history.
