The whole of last week just flew experiencing this near war situation in Mumbai, the place I was born in and unconditionally love…  After living a whole lot of emotions in 61 hours, I felt a greater emotion emerge…. a great sense of pride and patriotism and the need to feel united and connected with every Indian irrespective of caste and creed. The intent of the act was to break the country but it has done the opposite - brought us all together and that was visible starting with the proceedings in the Parliament house where all parties forgot their differences and with solidarity expressed common concerns and suggestions to tackle terrorism.

In all this chaos I completely forgot that I hurt my foot bad enough to get 15 stitches… don’t ask me how… in a freak accident, thanks to my big sunglasses and nose in the air,   I overlooked a sharp metal piece that slit my foot, thankfully not below but over the foot…! In normal circumstances I would’ve got hysterical thinking its serious… Don’t panic, it’s not…. I’m fine! Nothing that local anaesthesia, a tetanus injection (OUCH) and antibiotics (ARRGH!) couldn’t solve. Nothing to worry about other than my dates that have gone for a toss, disabling me from taking my Odissi lessons for my new film “Desire”.  Really excited about this one since it’s an Indo-Chinese project. It’s got a Chinese actor, Xia Yu, my first with a foreign actor. Looking forward to working with him and R. Sarath (renowned Malayalam director). Got to take it easy for two weeks and then will resume work. Hoping to get back on my feet soon!

Moral of the story is – Look before you leap and stay grounded! Ha ha ha!

(P.S. Thanks so much for your comments. It does matter.)
