Back to back interviews from yesterday have now matured me into a mechanical answering machine. The content is the same, but the presentation different. One with a smile, another in a whisper, sometimes loud, and on another vulnerable and helpless. The media has been kind, generous, loving and without any harshness. Whether its ‘Aladin’ or BiggBoss 3 in Mumbai till after lunch and here in New Delhi after 8 pm, they have been patient and considerate.

When they do that it almost seems as though there is something ominous that lurks in the background. Or then perhaps it has something to do with my age. Troubling an old man would perhaps not be in their list of priorities. Whatever, it is I must indeed compliment them for their excellent attitude and composure.

Public functions at facilities like a Hotel, gives us always an opportunity of getting to know how their kitchens look like, for that is what I have been doing all day yesterday and all day today in two different cities – Mumbai Taj Lands End and Taj Mansingh in Delhi. If you are making an entry of surprise on a rotating white leather cushioned chair, it is imperative that the kitchen entrance be used.

But all in all it has been a very well managed and efficient effort on the part of COLORS. Everything in its proper place, equipment working, discipline maintained and all acts over in a short and comfortable time.

With not a moments’ breathing space, I find myself exhausted and hungry and wanting my pillow.

I will return and in the morrow….
