Anu of london faces a serious stomach surgery tomorrow . She is our FmXt and needs all the prayers and wishes of all for a speedy recovery to good health. May we all wish it so.

It may be Sunday, but for work there seems to be no Sunday. Pushing and promoting PAA, continues. Now the media and the channels seek time to do programs on the success of the film. I oblige all irrespective of time and schedule pressures, becoming Auro once and AB the next instant. The numbers have been large, but when you do for one, the others step in for theirs as well. Fair and natural I would like to believe. Visits to theaters, meeting contest winners, spending time with those that sponsored us - the Axis Bank and iDEA mobile - all has been a most rewarding experience. The consideration of the Bank was somewhat symbolic - the Producers are now laughing their way to the Bank. Metaphorically that is. But what has been most amazing is the responses that keep flowing in from different quarters. They come from unexpected destinations and from unrecognized people. They come with exuberance and surprise. They come with the most incredible expressions of joy and praise. From little kids to grown up uncles and aunts, there is but one singular track of unadulterated joy - their love for Auro and their love for the film. It has been a most moving experience since the early hours of the morning when I visit Dilkhush School, an institution that is a few yards away from the house. An institution that I pass by every day as I drive out. An institution I never realized was so deeply involved in the care of children that were physically challenged. It was an amazing experience to inaugurate their crafts exhibition. These challenged children had hand made the most exquisite goods. Bed covers and handkerchiefs, bags to containers, paintings and drawings, eating goods - all done with finesse and great quality. And what of the children ! So full of energy and excitement at my arrival. Each one challenged, but gifted with the quality of love and compassion. Of wanting to be loved and held and touched. Many of them influenced by TV and my appearances for Bigg Boss. Many imitating my entry routine at the show. Others singing songs from my films and urging me to entertain them with screams and shouts of ‘Auro !’ ‘Auro !’ ‘Auro !’.

I look at them with deep sadness and remorse, but dare not show it. They need to be away from sympathy. They need to be treated as one normal being. It is strange that within a couple of days I have two such experiences - one at the autistic center in Dubai and the other now with this Institute. I am full of resolve by the efforts shown by the children of course, but am in deep appreciation for those that work here voluntarily in teaching these wonder kids how to cope with their condition. May God bless them, for they are to me nothing less than angels that come down upon them to deliver their love and affection, their feeling of being one with them and giving them the hope of a better future and a better tomorrow.

All other activity pales before this and I feel dwarfed by the suggestions that come from them on matters concerning world affairs and country centric issues. Simply amazing. All else after this seems out of place and unwanted.

I leave with a heavy heart and extend support to the organizers and builders of this Institute in any manner of help that I could extend to them.

Speed at times has the capacity to remove unnecessary pressures. A fast ride on the bike, a drive in the Lambho, all get the plugs removed from the overloaded ear drums of the world. Life seems lighter, more workable and of greater understanding ? I would think so !!

But thinking or thinking of it, is not enough. The ‘karm’ needs to be done. Delve into it. Search establish and shake all over in the pursuit of that perfect equation. An equation that shall selflessly assist and give need to those that deserve the most.

My love to all .. but with prayer today and tomorrow ..
