    I've seen first 8 movies among these 10. I don't know exactly how many times I've seen kuch kuch hota hai, DDLJ & hum apke hai kon. These movies are best for our pass time. The songs of these movies are never gonna be old. Such great movies are very rare nowadays. The acting, the shoot, the dialogue delivery, the songs, the script everything was marvelous and heart touching. Nowadays we miss these things in the movies. In this era there's hardly any movie which is famous as like these mentioned 10 movies. The Indian film industry had a golden time in the 90's. In my perspective the goodwill of Indian film industry is fading as it has failed to maintain the quality of movies and actors

Wealth Gap during Corona Virus Days

For the last 18 months, life has come to a stand still in many countries of the world. So, economic activities have suffered significantly. GDP loss is natural phenomenon. According to Statista : This forecast was already restated to a GDP loss of 4.5 percent. To put this number in perspective, global GDP was estimated at around 87.55 trillion U.S. dollars in 2019 – meaning that a 4.5 percent drop in economic growth results in almost 3.94 trillion U.S. dollars of lost economic output.
