Mukta Arts’ Special Invitation to professional writers
Be a Screen writer! And you can! If you just think for a while!
“There are 3 things needed to make a good film – Script, Script and Script” – Alfred Hitchcock, Filmmaker
Movies are successful due to several reasons, but the most important is the story. The movies you loved most, the featured characters that swept you off your feet, captivated your emotions, got you involved in the film, all have been backed by a very powerful foundation – Good Writing!.
What goes unnoticed to many viewers, but is usually indicated by the box office collections of a movie is the strength, or lack of, the script. If the director is the captain of the ship, the writer is the ship-maker. If he does not build a strong ship, the captain can do nothing but silently witness the ship break apart mid-sea and sink..
Hence, we believe that time has come when film, television & media houses the world over are ready to back only those movies which have strong stories and screenplay. And it’s big business. Develop your writing skills and you could be as successful, as famous, and as financially rewarded as any of the top-paid actors or directors of today.
Subhash Ghai, Chairman & Founder Whistling Woods International says, “SCREEN WRITING is one of the most lucrative professions in HOLLYWOOD. Producers chase them… Directors depend on them… Stars respect them… and the audience loves them.”
He further adds, “International Actors look for a good script and their role in a film and not who the producer or director is! Even the best of directors look for a great script to make a great movie & its the same with all the major Hollywood Studios as this is what assures them a great fortune. Then why not in India? There was a time in India when there were star writers such as Mulk Raj Anand and Salim Javed who would get top billing – were paid as much or often times more than the star actors and directors. I think the time has come back now where the Film Industry realizes the importance of good writers and they will undoubtedly be the most respected and well-paid profession in filmmaking.”
“Today, Indian entertainment and media Industry with 800 movies under production per year, 300 growing TV channels, 330 radio stations, and 250 event management companies is starving of creative writers. Any Genuine Production company, Mufti Arts included, would happily pay a good amount for a good script for its multi-crore movie because it gets them best of stars, directors and finally success at the box office.”
“However, good writing needs support – literature, creative environment, writing techniques, technology, and development of potential or latent talent. One’s natural, inborn talent can sustain some writers for a few years, but more writers than not do run out of creative ideas, expression sooner or later. In order to augment one’s longevity as creative screen writer, a good screenwriting program at a Film training institute is pretty much a must. And at Whistling Woods International, that’s exactly what we offer.”
“I strongly believe, WRITERS are going to be the stars of tomorrow – and with this belief we have created a platform “WHISTLING WOODS’ an international institute in Film, Television and Media Arts with world-class curriculum and faculty who are some of the top professionals of the entertainment industry and the Dean who is a filmmaker and academician from Los Angeles.

Bali is full of memorable moments, and some of them involve animals. Temple monkeys tug at bags, beach dogs nap near sunbeds, and cats wander into cafés like they own the place. Most interactions are harmless, but a bite or scratch can change the day quickly, because you may need immediate medical care and follow-up treatment. This is where Bali travel insurance becomes more than a box to tick.
In this article, you will explore whether animal bite treatment is insured, the exclusions, and the steps to claim easily in Bali.
Why Animal Bites in Bali Need Special Attention
Bites are not only about the visible wound. Insurers and doctors both treat them as medical events that can pose an infection risk, especially when the bite breaks the skin.
A scratch that looks small in the moment can still lead to:
● A doctor’s examination and wound cleaning
● Medicines and dressings
● Follow-up consultations if the doctor advises observation or further care
From an insurance perspective, this matters because claims are usually assessed on medical necessity and documentation, not on how dramatic the injury appears in a photo.
How International Travel Insurance Looks at an Animal Bite
Most travel policies are built around emergency medical expenses for unexpected illness or accidental injury abroad. A bite or scratch usually fits the accidental injury bucket, but coverage is rarely blanket.
In many plans, the following may be considered if a doctor prescribes them and bills and medical notes support them:
● Consultation and outpatient treatment
● Emergency care and procedures, such as wound dressing or stitches, if clinically required
● Prescribed medicines and investigations
● Hospitalisation if the treating doctor confirms it is needed
Common Reasons Claims Get Reduced or Rejected
This is the part travellers often miss. Insurers usually do not deny claims because an animal was involved. Claims become difficult when the event looks avoidable, the reporting is delayed, or the paperwork is weak.
Avoidable-Risk Situations Insurers Scrutinise
Policies commonly exclude or limit claims linked to unsafe conduct or preventable exposure. For animal bites, scrutiny may increase if the incident appears connected to:
● Provoking, feeding, or trying to handle wild animals
● Ignoring warning signs at tourist spots
● Being intoxicated at the time of the incident
● Activities that a policy lists as excluded or restricted
The takeaway is simple: if your own description sounds like a risky choice rather than a sudden accident, the insurer may challenge it.
Delays, Missing Papers, and Policy Conditions
Even when your incident is genuinely accidental, claims can still stall due to basics such as:
● Not informing the insurer or assistance partner within the required time
● Missing itemised bills, prescriptions, or clinical notes
● No proof of travel dates or passport entry details when requested
● Submitting only pharmacy slips without a doctor’s consultation record
International travel insurance is paperwork-driven. If you document it well, you reduce the chance of avoidable back-and-forth.
What to Do If You Are Bitten or Scratched in Bali
Your health comes first, always. But a few sensible steps can protect your recovery and keep your insurance file clean.
Medical Steps That Help You and Your Claim
Act fast, stay calm, and get proper care before worrying about bills.
● Clean the wound promptly and seek medical care, even if it seems minor
● Follow the doctor’s advice, including follow-ups if recommended
● Avoid self-medicating in place of a clinical assessment, because insurers often ask for a doctor’s report
Claim Notes and Documents to Collect
Keep these handy; they’ll save time and avoid follow-up questions later.
● Doctor’s notes that mention the nature of injury, treatment given, and advised next steps
● Prescriptions and pharmacy invoices
● Itemised hospital or clinic bills
● A brief written note of where and when it happened, while it is still fresh in your mind
Final Word
Animal bites in Bali are not rare, and they are not always dramatic, which is exactly why travellers underestimate them. Many travel policies can cover bite-related medical treatment when it is accidental and medically necessary, but the outcome depends on your policy terms and the quality of your documentation. If you buy cover thoughtfully, keep the assistance number handy, and respond sensibly if an incident happens, you give yourself the best chance of both good medical care and a smoother claim experience.
