The large fonts convey the largeness of feeling and joy. The purple .. a regal image to a festive mood. And the elation is for the unadulterated confirmation by one and all on the success of our film PAA ..

It is a miracle how temperaments change with that feeling of having attracted the attention of that elusive term, success. But change it does. You want to dress in your best and unworn. You want to drive the car that you were uncomfortable in making public. Your speech and its strength increases. Energy abounds as does your wit. Suddenly the world seems a happier place. The smiles become frequent and unforced and you suddenly feel the world starts to love you again.

The day though has been another exhaustive one. From one channel to the other in rapid succession. From one print to another, from radio FM to radio FM, from one emailed Entourage acknowledged letter to another, it has been a happy experience. This is in the words of the media the ’success interview’.

Alright I shall buy that. I’m not arguing…

But really, the acknowledgements have not stopped. And neither have the bouquets and letters of elaborate praise, from quarters I would never have expected.

So I hide in embarrassment as the accolades pour in and wonder what it is that I may have done to have touched the hearts of so many.

My people … you have been my support in hours of trouble and trial and today you have become those that join me in my happiness. My indebtedness is supreme as is my love and affection.

Remain with me … in my little world … and share with me the little that I am capable of bringing for you. It may not be large and expansive, but it has the gentle care and concern of my heart …

And may it ever remain so ….
