Whooaahh !! The number of responses almost equalled the number of days on the blog ! Thank you all for your gracious congratulations and words of encouragement and love. I am truly blessed to have all of you in my fold and blessed that I can acknowledge all as my extended family.

Just ruminating over the start of this association and those early days, one is filled with great nostalgia. How on earth did this concept begin and how did we all put our energies together to make it last for such an extended period of time. Why did I ever call it DAY 1 and why did I never change the heading despite many requests to title the headings according to the content it contained ? Why did I never ever miss out a day, and why …

Ah ! Just so many ‘why’s’ that throng the mind.

Happily though we have weathered many a storm and come through it bright and happy. And may it ever remain so. And may we now look forward to the DAY’s to come and the constancy of your love and affection.

Today has been an auspicious day - Makar Sankranti , Lodhi , Pongal - all the festivals from the North to the South of the country, inviting prosperity and joy among us all. For me personally it has been an encouraging day - if one can call it encouraging. I signed on for two seasons of Kaun Banega Crorepati. This year and the next.

Film shoots start around the 24th of this month for ‘Aarakshan’ of Prakash Jha, followed by ‘Budda’ by Puri Jagganath and then a Rakesh Mehra production and of course our own R Balki film. Getting busy again.

I am afraid this communication is going to be short today. I leave for Europe in a few hours on work and hopefully shall be connecting with you all soon. My apologies then and as always my thoughts and prayers and love with the EF as ever …

Keep up the spirit and the connect ..
