new media in india and morocco

ict, india, media, morocco

after a long silence, here are some news from two countries that i consider my second homes. the news are somewhat old, but this website is not a newspaper, it is simply my blog and i do what i want. here they go:

  1. from le figaro.fr, the announcement that morocco and india are “le vedettes” of information technology in the offshoring sector. i have not yet decided whether this is a good news of not for morocco and india. probably mine is a stupid question. it is not good nor bad. it is simply a fact. however, the article is worth reading.
  2. from LSDI (quoting the new york times) india media corporations have started acquisitions of foreign groups. somebody says this is just the beginning.
  3. berlusconi is not happy enough with all the probems that he causes to italy, so he is planning to go a bring some “modernity” also in the maghreb. mediaset (berlusconi’s tv) will participate (25%) in nessma tv, a maghreb saltellite TV.
  4. last, but not least here is a google map of community radios in india. nice!

not always, but sometimes

sometimes it is tiring to always be different, to always be looked at as if i was something strange, to feel like a thief every time i want to buy a beer, to be forced to answer every single person that says “hello-how-are-you” when you walk in the street because if you don’t then you are rude and selfish and rich-european, it is tiring not to be able to go to the beach because you can create a scandal if you simply swim in the sea (not to mention what your wife can cause), it is tiring to be seen only as a walking wallet, it is tiring when everybody wants to put their hands in the face of my son only because is the local habit.

and it is even more tiring to know that all this is nothing compared to what foreigners experience in italy.

this is very tiring. not always, but sometimes it is.
