Pakistan music talent gaining fans in India

When we talk about the India and Pakistan, war and sports comes to mind. As both nation play sport also with the do or die spirit. But the things are changing and music talent like Atil Aslam and Ali Zaffar are getting popular.

Topping the charts are songs from Ali Zaffar and even he has a strong fan base here at India. All concerts are gaining the maximum crowds and people are loving him as singer, musician, lyricist as well as an actor. And comedy shows are already captured by the Pakistan talent.

India going global is clearly shown from this example. India has started welcoming talent from outside and treating them equally as Indians are treated in US. It won't be wrong to compare that Hollywood for India and Bollywood for Pakistan are the same.

Its the global known thought that Sports and Entertainment Industry should not have boundaries then only they can grow at good pace in the nation. As opening the doors for talent from outside means that you putting more challenge in front of local talent and asking them to improve and compete, that means more global touch. In the nation can enjoy.

So keep rocking on music and enjoy sports....... lets more jobs be created in nation with growth of these Industries.

Indiatimes getting serious about business - on edge to launch video streaming siteIndia

Indiatimes known for its news content is getting serious about making an impact in the Internet industry. After the success of gaana.com, a music streaming site and successful launch of e-magazine on iPad, is all set to launch the Video streaming site.

Gaana.com was not a copy of any other music streaming site. But is a well organised, with good interface, easy to search and listen music, made it a success story and it became the no 1 music streaming site in India, and that too in four months.

Same I hope to see forward from Indiatimes video box. I hope they wont compete with the huge database of YouTube but will make there own place to survive parallel and then capture the market. (Every time they don't need to win the market in just four weeks.) The advantage they have is the IPL rights which might gain many views and in return will make the site popular which is very very important.

For the internet product/service to be successful, it is essential that people use it then like it and use it again and again. Like, many products from Rediff (MyPage and Zarabol) exist or not, no one is sure about it, so they are no ways that it will get success. So, IPL may bring that awareness and then Indiatimes need to provide a good service for making the users to come back.

We need to wait for the launch to see how all this shape around but looking at the new look of Indiatimes and recent launches, its very clear that we are going to get a high standard of user experience. Hope, Indian Internet  Industry will create billionaires similar to USA and China.

gaana.com a well organised music library

Indiatimes new creation Gaana.com is a good library for the music lover. You can search and listen the music of your choice as well as create your own playlist by signing in using FB or Twitter and even create your own gaana.com account.

Being an alpha version still its very stable and works smooth for me. I was able to search all Hindi as well as English songs. Even some of my Punjabi friend told me that he can find many old Punjabi songs which he used to love listening. But i was not able to find the Pakistani song nahi-re-nahi. Anyways i find this gaana.com a good !dea and overall had a good experience.

Google, Facebook and Twitter have eaten up all the internet market share from the Indian Companies like rediff and sify. But Indian Internet companies have found a way to survive and work on innovation other that competing with the Giants. E-commerce, Jobs and news are still dominated by the Indian Internet companies like Flipkart, Naukri, Times Of India etc.

So such innovative !deas like gaana will help Indian Companies to servive against Internet companies like Facebook and Google.
