In South Africa and the Cricket Safari begins! Landed yesterday and went straight to the Sahara Newlands Stadium, where Rajasthan Royals were playing against Cape Cobras. Seen many matches in my life but seeing your own team playing for the first time is a feeling that’s inexplicable. 
It started off well for us, but lost the game, grrr… but that’s how unpredictable this format is, also gotta take into account that the Cape Cobras have been playing the domestic season for the last six weeks, and our team just got together a couple of days ago and most of our star players weren’t even on the field. It was just a warm-up match and a good one at that… have to admit wasn’t so confident about the crowds coming in comparison to India, but after yesterday even that thought’s put to rest. The stadium was 70% full just to watch a warm-up match! Can’t wait till the 18th, that’s when the REAL fun begins. Will keep writing more often and I will be based here for the next 5 weeks, so excited ’cause so much to look forward to! See ya!

Dear Shilpa: Thanks for your latest post. No doubt your team will rise to championship level as the season progresses. Tell Mr. Raj we are all proud of him for defending you with his fists against the stalkers & gropers you encounter. Best wishes to both of you.

Hi Shilpa,
Do u know I have been looking at the picture on top of ure blog page and it appears that you have a trickle of tear down ure cheeks ( Right side). I thought that it must be my bloody computer , but no it seems that it is the picture…I keep wondering why on earth should a lovely girl like u have a tear in her cheek….its just glycerine or onions..right?? Please change this picture because it makes me feel sad everytime i see this…

Hi,
Got all your emails about global warming and it’s great to know that people are concerned and trying to spread the message. Good effort! Keep it up!

Sounds like your having a great time. Hopefully the Rajasthan Royals will play extremely well, don’t worry about the warm up match, and it’s nice to see you justifying the reasons they lost.
Shows that your heart is in the right place!
Also, we want to hear more about your films… When are ‘The Desire’ and ‘The Man’ releasing? And please confirm or deny your role in Eastenders. I’m from the U.K and I don’t really think its a wise move. You’re too big a star to do Eastenders. But it will definitely make you an even bigger household name in UK as it is watched by millions on a daily basis. Maybe do it for 6 months then do another movie…
