About Lidia Ostepeev

A fascination with Bollywood cinema has inspired Lidia to take up writing. She has written film reviews for Planet Bollywood - a site dedicated to the film and music of India and articles about film trends for Metro and The Big Issue. It gives her great pleasure to take the train to Little India - Foster St. in Dandenong to feed her Bollywood addiction or to act as a guide for friends who wish to discover something new and exotic in Melbourne’s suburban sprawl. At present Lidia is trying her hand at some creative writing and artwork around Bollywood themes. She is also attempting to bolli-fy her home.
