Soccer with Agastya in the morning at the Prateeksha lawns. Shanouk wondering why no one is interested in kicking his plastic bottle which he chases and instead kicking a round leather ball. Driving the kids down to pick up their Mami from the airport, returning from Goa after her shoot. Another meticulous meeting with COLORS on the song promo shoot tomorrow. And now a few minutes ago returning from a trial of Ashutosh Gowarikars “Whats your Rashee”.

Simple pleasures of life. Yet nothing that can be substituted by the time spent with the little ones. Their language and understanding and their questioning are way ahead from what we may think them to be. They are not the 11 and 8 year olds ; they are the digit 0 attached to their present respective ages.

I have now precisely 3 hrs to get some sleep, before starting off to Khapoli, some distance away from Mumbai, for tomorrows promo shoot and if FmXt would want that I preserve some of my sanity by the time the camera rolls, I must perforce wind up this blog for the day and get into the covers..

I hate doing this. But maybe tomorrow will give me more time to put down some thoughts that shall hopefully make up for today.

Let me quickly then address a few issues that the Ef were concerned about.’ Teen Patti’ and ‘PAA’ are not coming on the same day as has been probably indicated, as December 4th. Only PAA is.

There is a beautiful website for TEEN PATTI which needs to be visited : www.teenpattithemovie.com

Let me have inputs on that. ‘Aladin’releases on October 30th and the promotions and music launch and press publicity shall start from the 28th of September. “RANN” releases in January 2010.

Much love to all … and apologies for this impersonal content today..
