The entire day has been one of great involvement - an involvement that has nothing to do with anything other than mobiles. Having received around 1000 text messages all at once, I felt it my duty to respond acknowledge and store all the wishes that came pouring in.

It is only now that I have managed to complete the list of those that had clung on to my mobile in an unprecedented show of appreciation for my other film Paa. There is great joy in getting personally involved in the process of answering each and everyone that came to you and I have managed to do that.

I wish therefore that all winners be congratulated, that they know, that there are many bigger chalenges that one has to face in order to bring credibility to ones life. And with that in mind I beg today to be excused from the limelight; a little late but earnestly involved in what we may plan to do.

This is going to be short. I will though make up for it in the days to come ..

Till then ..
