Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and Auro wise !!

I fill in ahead of time. I fill in from different location and environment. It seems odd, but connecting with the extended family has never been an encumbrance and shall never be one.

The schedule has been somewhat relaxed and so have the time constraints. And as always when you have the time you never know what to do with it. Especially if the past few days have been as hectic as I have been describing.

India won a sizzler again in the one day International against Sri Lanka and what a punch up it was. Over 800 runs in a one dayer - unimaginable ! But it happened. Both teams were exceptional. India just that little bit better. And guess what ? The moment the bails were dislodged for the end game, the sms es started coming in to moi !! India won again sir !! Auro is lucky for the team !! Ha ha .. this is really stretching it too far ! Superstitious elements give Auro undue benefit.

There is though, great reference to this little progeria ridden guy, with bald head and awkward teeth, squeaking his voice out with unselfconscious rapidity. Jaya, calls in from Delhi on her way to Parliament to say that every one in the august house has been coming up to her and complimenting the film. Many among them being those that had due to party affiliations, never done so before. Auro for Parliamentarians !! Wow !!

And now … as Paa lingers on, we start considering the others in line. RANN and TEEN PATTI. They are now keen to launch their promotions. I still want to dwell in the joyous feel of our film. To remain with him as long as I can - with Auro and Paa. But I guess all good things must come to an end, so we move, or at least prepare to move. Its the way of the world.

There is an invitation to come for a preview of AVATAAR, the Hollywood film in 3D and being set up for release here in India. It is with Reliance our partners in PAA and one will honor that. So off I go and shall be back after it is over, perhaps to ruminate on how the rest of the day transpired, how and what needs to be shared with FmXt, and what my thoughts are before being consumed by slunber.

Till then dear ones …
