is there any particular reason why females have not made a mark as MD? don't they have the talent or are they forced to remain on the sidelines?

  Badri and Kanchana:
  
  There's one more aspect to this male-female issue. There are fields within the film industry that are "feminine" where women are able to make their mark, e.g. dance direction. However almost every other creative endeavor, including art direction (which could be considered "feminine" considering the drawing, painting aspects) are male-dominated. Ergo, all women can do is dance, sing, and act... this is the message that seems to be coming from the industry. No chauvinism here, just a staement of facts :--).

  Bharat, what you pointed out is (sad but) true! [Of course, we all know you are just presenting facts in this open-minded discussion started by Badri :-)]

  BB: I wasnt responding to xxxx. I was calling out for Ravi! you know how it is normally when I respond to someone, dont you?:))))
  
  As for wavelength, well, I wonder if this particular character knows of the existence of such a thing as wave to know its lenght in the first place. :))).
  
  Dont you think there's a line to be drawn somewhere? Better early than late?
