Tomorrow Feb 16 is the birthday of our very devoted and most loved Fatima from SoAfrica. Wishing her a very happy birthday. May she keep up with the good work she does each day. Love to you Fats ..

Getting wet in the rain at this time of night and at a time when no one knew or heard of its consequences, is to me just fine. Finished by 11 PM and coming back to Hotel felt lazy for the first time in writing the blog. But then better sense prevailed. It has been a rough day … rapid scenes, rushed shots due to the loss of light, rain after its dark of the night and the cold freezing up my back for today. But those that stay up and celebrate, without care are the luckiest people.

I am happy that you like the pictures. Balki who directed Cheeni Kum and Paa, insists that the beard makes me look like a ‘rock star’ and that I should continue with it. I shall endeavor. My director of ‘Aarakshan’ thinks the same too. It is an art to keep and maintain a beard in these parts of the world. Most of its care a designing come from learned, individual reservoirs - the modern day hair in charge, of which there are not many left and since there are restrictions for ladies to be there, I guess it shall have to be another era before equality prevails.

For now it shall have to be another day to communicate. I am dropping off exhausted on the lap top. Please bear with me … its the stress of the day that has done me in.

My love for all ……,
