Jai Durga!!
Sorry guys.... but absence is supposed to make the heart grow fonder,
right? Am glad I have been missed by some of you. It's been super
hectic (so.... what else is new?).... from the Raj Thackeray interview
and its wild repercussions (you really don't want to know!), to the
launch of my new saree collection, aptly titled the Superstar Saree (
milk it to the hilt while the going is good, what?), to attending Tina
Ambani's Silver Awards for senior citizens ( made to salsa for some
really inexplicable reason), to visiting the Puja Badi at the Tejpal
for our annual Ashtami darshan of the Devi, it has been excessive and
intense. My eyes are shutting as I key this in - but you know what? I
was in withdrawal , too! Really, really missing this space. Glad to
back on it, even for a brief posting. I met Jaya B at the Tina A
function.... and it was a warm and very Bong encounter as she wished me
Shubho Ashtami. Amar Singh, I noticed has tiny, perfectly manicured,
womanly hands, with neatly filed long nails. They don't go with the
rest of him. Maharahtra's new guv must have lost the plot because he
quoted Ulysses and pleaded against old age homes, saying our kids ought
to be responsible for us, and look after us when we are really, really
old..... after all that we have sacrificed for them. Gosh! Which world
is he living in?? He is 78 and very dapper. But someone forgot to tell
him Tina's entire initiative is focused on senior citizen care and old
age homes!! Dev Anand 'emoted' wonderfully, like he was back playing
'Guide', and a horror called Sudha Chandran (dressed in a lurex tuxedo
worn over a ghastly saree!!!!) made for a really OTT compere. While
Dev's heroine from 'Guide, the gracious Waheeda Rehman was completely
ignored. Parmeshwar looked ravishing, but was wearing fashionably torn
jeans and her trademark beret to this function (!). Khair... I feel
like Ravindra Natya Mandir is my new home. I mean.... twice in a week
is a bit much, don't you think?? Jai Durga. I am all set to hear
Placido Domingo over the weekend and dine with Zubin Mehta tomorrow
night. It's a hard life!! Ciao, ciao my lovelies...
