Ring Road Cluster, South Bangalore

<p><strong>Alan</strong> Hi! you are right. Most of the old Cinema houses of the 1960s have closed down. The properties have been converted into shopping centers. All this is due to the onslaught of TV. Especially the cable TV firms offer as many as 200 channels each; they run mostly movies and soap operas in the different languages.<br>

The new movie houses are of the automated variety, smaller in size and located in shopping malls or nearby. sp.</p>

I decided to look through the archives of old mails regarding classic equipment and discovered the commented pictures of this genius from Karnataka, "SP". photos accompanied by local knowledge are so much more interesting than technically brilliant snaps in screen format: A few years ago. Bangalore had become just a copy of any badly planned metropolis when I was there to give a lecture at the Indian Institute if managemen so t quicly absconded to Mysore.."SP" texts invite to look closer into how India has changed.

 

Also the info contained on DDR eqipment is most welcome, especially as one by now has more info on how Zeiss Jena , KW and others succumbed to speedy revaluation of the currency plus privatixation that made so many highly skilled and talented people lose their jobs-.

 

p.

It's such a pleasure to see this, even though it is a re-animation.

 

We miss you SP!

Wonderful news.

 

I'm afraid I'm the last of my "tontine" locally, but I still have my behaviorly unique "Siberian retriever" and my little two-seater sports car, so (in the words of The Holy Grail) "I ain't dead yet" :)

Encouraging words JDM; best wishes! "ph" you mentioned that you visited IIMBangalore and gave a lecture. May i know your name fully? I was a Faculty member for some 20 years in the founding decades of IIMB. Pioneered many things there including the curriculum of MBA program in Public Sectors of the economy and a lot of campus development. It will be good to know you! Thanks, Subbarayan Prasanna.

Good to see you back, SP!

SP:

 

I tried in vain to send a PM, but the site claims that my message does not have an approved format, NO info available on how to fit a messages in the box provided and zero option for corresponding with the site owners.

 

As to your question , I cannot offhand recall the dates, but I visited together with a colleague from another Norwegian govt. department, , deputy permanent secretary .of the ministry of financeThorvald Moe as well as mr. Kalbermatten from the secretariat of one of the relevant UN agencies. We spoke about sustainability.. Since the proceedings were printed, it should be easy to find data on myself- If you manage to outwit the PM system I will providde you with my emailadress..

<p>I like this lens and, of course, the Zorki 4. Thanks for viewing and your comments. Regards, sp.</p>

Nicely done. Great to see your efforts.

Since the forum has no easy way to send messages, I have to fall back on more cryptic methods to communicate with Subbarayan P.

 

It turns out that the speech I gave at the Indian Institute of management was in 2008, so a fair decade after you left. You asked me how to get in touch, to reach my email, use my christian name@ surname dot co. (Not com).
