Catching up on the flood of sms’s … attending shows and picking up rewards for contribution to cinema, has been seen to be my pastime for most of the day. There is also the media and its consistent desire now, to meet Auro and to ask him a few questions, and Auro obliges.

Meetings are held within the confines of the office with the Reliance team and suggestions and thoughts being put together on how to promote the film , which the audience is determined, that it must succeed.

The media has shown the maximum excitement and in their nature and tone of conversation they have shown, how greatly the impact of the film has been had on them.. I dwell in the glory of their assessments. They are most complimentary. But somewhere in our minds we wish to be absolutely certain that they are not teasing us or being too obstinate. Of this there shall be further discussion.

I am off to Dubai tomorrow to receive the Life Time Achievement Award from the DIFF, the Dubai International Film Festival. I am also off to sleep now, for there is very little time left for me to rise and shine .

I shall fill up ore in the morrow.. till then ….
