Dearest All,

I write with affection and love after having met 4 members of the extended family - Mira, Madhumita, Lily and Karishma at my office today. There was such a great feeling of togetherness, of fulfillment and of unadulterated joy that one forgot all the tensions and pressures of work.

Dear ladies, thank you for your visit and all the lovely words you had for me and all the wondrous cards and letters written. They shall be cherished always.

Another day of several back to back activities. Of interviews and photo shoots and meetings on future projects and a never ending list of approvals and disapprovals and opinions. Giving orders and sanctions are such an arduous task. You always wish someone else would do it for you and do it right. But no matter how much trust and faith one may have on selected people, at the end of the day what is executed personally is what finally counts. No one does it better than you and no one executes it better either. Greatest principal of life. Leave it to others and it is left for good. Everyone professes that they shall take care, but no one does until you monitor yourself.

I lack that ability. The ability to designate the right people for the right job and then more importantly to see that the job is done as desired. Some things shall always be there for me to learn I guess.

I confessed to the ladies of the FmXt that I had been slack in replying to the responses and that as soon as the pressure of time eases I shall be back and more connected. They were extremely understanding and considerate and that too requires for me to be thankful to them.

I am blank at the moment. Far too many thoughts run about me. Let me be in some saner element. An element that distances me from the tribulations of things I should never be involved in, and then shall I be able to write in peace. As one FmXt gently suggested. Get back to Singapore. Your writing then was more severe and meaningful. There was a sense of freedom in the thought. Maybe he was right. Maybe I should wander a bit from the known and find myself again. Maybe …

Its back to Bigg Boss tomorrow early morning and the introduction of the last week of this intriguing program. Another week and we shall have a winner. The show closes by the 25th. It has been eventful and exciting being among the participants. I enjoyed it; hope they did too.

Good night dearest all .. remain with me .. you are my strength … !!
