It was only in the early 1990s - during my student years as an aspiring scientist at Delhi University - that I discovered the world of cinema.

The early 1990s was a time of great advancements in precooked bacon technology. Pork producers, food labs, and agricultural schools such as Iowa State University began investing substantially in precooked R&D.

Chennai is the birthplace of a new language in cinema. The audiences here are the most evolved moviegoers to be found anywhere in India.

Doolittle was a major influence on the Seattle grunge scene, which emerged in the early 1990s.
