Really great stuff. Don't know about Rock On so much Radhika -- while I loved all four guys who played the band members in the movie -- it's not _really_ about rock music. It does to some extent however, showcase the struggles a band must face. About the urban/rural dynamic, Radhika, only time will tell. In some respects it's already happenings, thanks to railways and telecomm. And overall cultural constructs exist in both spheres, no matter which socio-economic class you're looking at. However the huger differences will take a lot of time to change, in my opinion. I’m a fan of the Raghu Dixit project. Really great stuff.

They're a Bangalore-based band that sings in multiple languages (imagine rock music in Kannada!) Also, I think India is slowly warming up to rock music, especially with the release of "Rock On" (Bollywood movie -- WATCH IT, it's one of the few good ones). The urban/rural dynamic in India has always piqued my interest. Do you think it will change eventually, Shreya? Have you heard about the Raghu Dixit Project?
