Looks like 'Jha' people are broadening their horizon. For a background i am a 'Jha', although my name may not reflect it. And why is that, is a long story for some other time. BTW if you don't know what is a 'Jha', then maybe this article is not for you.
So today i read an article on nytimes about a movie called "Sikandar". As being a movie enthusiast, i read this article. Although the movie doesn't have good review, i was delighted to find that it is directed by Piyush Jha. On doing a quick google search indicated that he has directed few more movies in the past and has even acted in some. To get more information about his background i searched him in wiki, but couldn't find it over there. Looks like there was an article earlier over there but it has been deleted by some one with following reason (A7: Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject). I don't know what does it really mean. I wonder if someone will create a wiki page soon.
Typically 'Jha's or in general people from Bihar, UP are considered to be good at studies. It doesn't mean that other parts of india are not. It simply means that they are mostly focussed on studying and getting jobs in offices. In earlier days the ultimate aim was to become a civil servant (why will any one want to become servant, i don't know??) or a doctor or engineer or to get a job in any government office. Kind of i am trying to say is that we are mostly focussed on doing one type of work. So it is refreshing to see that people are getting better at other jobs too ex. movie making, business etc. So far the only 'Jha' famous in bollywood is Prakash Jha. Who has made good movies.
