Music,
multi-media & moolah
Music is no longer regarded as
a soft career option. It is a highly specialised field with myriad
openings in recording companies, the film industry, TV channels, song
writing and production, marketing and technology, writes Biswajiban
Sharma
A
career in music? Most people will find the notion ludicrous despite the
success stories that keep doing the rounds. Is music not something you
pursue in school for sheer pleasure for want of a better
extra-curricular activity? Is music not a great hobby to dabble in, but
too flippant a career choice? Even those who subsist on music have been
at some point skeptical about whether they could eke out a living.

Getting into shape at the gym! Doing workouts, sweating it out on the
tennis court or the golf course. This is the mantra of the modern
generation. And now seeing pictures in business magazines of Anil Ambani
jogging down Rajpath, exercising has a high profile too.
