Mangala bhavan amangal haari,

Dhavahun su dasrath ajira bihari …

Now is the time to pray. The time to leave all else to forces that guide us through unknown facets of life. To hope that what was put together with sincerity and honesty, labor and love, shall bear its fruits or not. The time to leave decision on the other - to assess and judge and finally to proclaim. To either bury that which has been done or to deliver it from its peak in the skies !

Home again from Delhi and through the exhaustive rituals of film promotion on media outlets. It is a task to be able to go through all that PR agencies plan, but in these times of changed circumstances, I guess they know best. I am amazed at the extent of contacts and managerial skills that these agencies exercise all over the world. They may all look casual, but there is a deep professional system that works along with them .. thank you all !

I am a bad judge of cinema. My own assessments are swept away by my own interpretation of the situations and these most of the times are difficult to comprehend. So, I do the work and let others decide and evaluate. This is true not just of my own efforts but indeed of the efforts of all others .. so I keep quiet and to myself .. this is a defense mechanism .. for me to save myself from embarrassment .. and for the others to not fall victims of my misjudgments !! Ha ha !!

I am indebted beyond all else to the EF and to their selfless work and effort that they have put in in their personal capacity for the promotion and exploitation of the film BHTB. These are emotions that can never be replaced or substituted. I can only say that this family that we have built, has time and again proved, not just to me but to the entire world community, that the simplicity and honesty of association can move mountains, can build and repair bridges, can extend their love and affection across continents and seas and rivers, can stretch out their hands to hold and preserve all that is well and good in this world. It gives me such pride to know that I know you and that you came into existence through a virtual world of nothingness and that today that nothingness manifests itself into a force as strong as the strongest wind, the highest mountain !

A day filled with busy business tomorrow .. and I can just feel the extended family cringing at the thought of me getting back to the grind … but you know .. when I get up in the morning and still breathe, I discover that there is still so much more to be done and attempted, and I get going .. I hope that I shall continue to do so … and so I will !!

My love to all .. in concern in prayer in thought ..
