I do hope you enjoy it and get many others of your clan to get into the groove of the monkey dance.. ha ha ha …
Apart from the images you see on the video, I have some very exciting visuals of many others ‘doing’ it. Prudence however, does not permit me to put it up on the blog for your enjoyment. And please do not insist that you see it because I would never be able to show it to you. It now becomes my personal little treasure, to be loved and enjoyed in isolation !!

There has however been some other forms of excitement in the time gone by since Taj Coromandel and Chennai. It was 5 am again and Bigg Boss at Lonavala this morning and …
A snake in my room !!
Yes !! A snake !!
It was noticed by the security as they were on routine check of my little chalet where I rest and make up. A charmer or keeper or expert was called - apparently they have a very committed professional in the city, who extricated it from my bathroom and got rid of it. A fairly large one they say. Eeeeuaaahhee !!!

Alright …. back to more civil conversation. The post and the mix on ‘PAA’ looks good and satisfactory. I felt good that I could be there to give some suggestions and was happy at the end of it to find the technicians accepting it. It is a world of its own in a studio where final mixes take place. The sophisticated gadgetry, the computerized operations and the skill of those that function them is so awe inspiring. Millions of electronic buttons, levers, screens, patterns to execute and match. Every little detail to be put in place - the twitter of the birds, the wind and traffic in the background, ambient sounds to make the visual look as normal as possible - the clink of a glass, the footsteps on the floor, that breath between words spoken - every sound just right and in perspective. And then the dialogues from the dub and the music to enhance its meaning. Each sentence each word placed in correct tone and order for a projection on a large screen. Fascinating work. Hours and hours of deep concentration, until the final product is approved. And once it is, then, to be brought back to another studio here in Mumbai for it to be Dolby balanced for some of the more sophisticated theaters. Simultaneously the work in the laboratory continues at a rapid pace. The negative is being washed and a positive being done. The printing shall commence once the mixed film is presented. Hundreds of prints to be made for a wide circulation. Days and days shall go by as the colour correction takes place. The printing then starts and the anxiety to make sure that during that process all the work on the mix and the music and the dialogues are not washed away in the developing tanks. Each print of the 8-900 prints that shall emerge will be personally checked for any defects - lines, blotches and other little defects. And then finally when it is ready the period to allow it to dry for the maximum results to appear. The conversion to digital, as this format catches the fancy of most distributors and exhibitors and then finally the release.
And 2 hrs and 7 mins later a bunch of people after having been through the experience shall walk away from a crowded hall and pass verdict. For that one moment was the film made. For that one moment will the fate of labor and creativity surface. For that one moment will decide whether hours and hours of work and experience and perseverance was worth it or not.. !!
This of course is nothing to take away from the designing of the film in the mind of the director, its meticulous execution, the hours of make up and the appearance in front of the lens, eventually.

Films and film making such a fascinating story … almost ..

Love to you and more ..,
