but as we near the ending of the season of KBC .. a great amount of catch up is being required .. hence finished only by 1 AM, this morning and am setting off again to the studios ..

Had to shoot 3 episodes yesterday and had the honour and privilege of being in the company of Sudha Narayan Murthy, the wife of Infosys Narayan Murthy and to hear and learn about her Foundation and the immense amount of work that she has done and is doing for the poor and underprivileged , in particular the succour and a fresh life she is giving to the ancient tradition of the ‘Devdasis’, and giving them a new beginning ..

What an amazing experience .. what a lady .. and what an immense learning for me and all that come under her care and influence ..

.. a ‘chadar’ stitched by the women ‘devdasis’ whom Sudha ji has given a new life to .. away from the old tradition where they were relegated to discrimination .. and a gift for me to ever remember and be in awe of her tremendous work ..

So one listens to the body...and many shall there be who will applaud and commit to say...'did we not tell you this to slow down...' Slow down? Thats what you tell the vehicle or the train on road and track ....so...what (sic)," he added.
