News #2

India Exotic Insurance

In other news, IndiaTimes.com reports that India is working at ways to insure the voices or performing capabilities of Indian artistes. Many around the world have already done so, including opera singer Marlene Dietrich, who insured her voice for 1 million dollars, a wine taster who insured their taste buds for $10 million dollars and pianist Richard Clayderman whose fingers are worth quite a sum. Later this month, the concept of artistic insurance to associations of musicians, dancers, and film and theatre artistes will be introduced.
