Unbelievable! The last two teams on the table last year make it into the finals this year, so RCB Vs DC it is! What an unexpected result, but am so so happy for Vijay Mallya, a dear friend and his team deserves to be in the finals, it’s been a long wait! This has been one hellava trip, so much to learn. Going back with a lot of cricket knowledge but other than that so many great memories from SA. Amongst all the travelling did get the chance to do some sightseeing  - something I don’t normally get to do when on shooting schedules, but managed to sneak in when we got some time off here. Did a safari in Singita, did a thrilling Hot air balloon trip, went to the lion park and actually played with the Cubs, something unusual. It was amazing to see a wild animal in such a vulnerable playful state, trust me they weren’t tame. Fed ostriches and got pecked by one! And also fed a giraffe, they have the longest purple tongues, wrapped it around my hand, leaving its saliva all over it, eeow! But what fun. :)

 

Getting all packed to leave Joburg which became our home for 3 weeks. Can’t wait to see the Finals tomorrow, and all the entertainment… the end to the SA cricket safari :)

    hi Shilpa

    I would like to say the IPL was fantastic to be hosted in south africa if it was not for elections it would not been here so i must say thank you i enjoyed every minute of RR matches never missed a match (besides when RR was playing @ (12:30). SA was just very lucky to get it. But has for next year the Fifa World Cup 2010 i hope you would came for it.

    Last night you where the judge at Miss Bollywood SA i must say you where look so adorable in red. The girls answered really well as they are not professional and she gave you a good compliment

    I really wished i could been at Joburg for the final hope the IPL can came back to SA or i well have to save to go too India.

    Hope you enjoyed your stay and please return soon.

    Regards
    Sham

    hey
    Shilpa

    Great to hear you had a great time in SA. Hope you will come back soon, not just for a shoot but for long holiday. So sad you have to leave. Though you’re team didn’t make this year, i’m sure they will win next year.

    God Bless

    lots of love
    Sana

    Halla Bol!!!!!

    Hello There,

    French open has started and I am following that also. Its fun to watch great names like Nadal and Federer. Read on Times of India portal about the grand finale, IPL is planning with lots of celebration so I would be following that as well.
    Its lovely day here in Rotterdam with temperature reaching 25 degress.

    Thoughts going back to the mesmerizing beauty…you are…

    salaam shilpa,
    how r u dearest?here is another one of my songs:

    yoon doston say dushmani achhi nahin hoti
    eh jaan-e-jaan yeh dillagi achhi nahin hoti
    yoon doston say dushmani…..

    tum ghair ki mehfil main machal jaatey ho jaanaan
    hum pochhain to phir pal main badal jaatey ho jaanaan
    eh dost!yeh sitamgari achhi nahin hoti
    eh jaan-e-jaan yeh dillagi achhi nahin hoti
    yoon doston say dushmani……

    lehraa kay woh aana tera,ball khaa kay woh jaana
    hansna tera,chalna tera,nazron ko jhukaana
    dilbar merey, yeh dilbari achhi nahin hoti
    eh jaan-e-jaan yeh dillagi achhi nahin hoti
    yoon doston say dushmani….

    poorab say hawaa aati hai, leti hai tera naam
    chanda ki shuaaon nay bhi bheja hai yeh paighaam
    AADIL say apney bay-rukhi achhi nahin hoti
    eh jaan-e-jaan yeh dillagi achhi nahin hoti
    yoon doston say dushmani…………..xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx sohail uk

    Thanks for all the entertainment.

    That must have been an interesting experience, playing with the cubs! I guess its too late to talk about the finals of IPL, now that it is over!

    First time here. Will frequent more.

  12. atyachaar Says:

    Well, the IPL is finally over, and the Deccan Chargers have won! Personally, I never thought they would get this far, but once they did, they had my full support. Sorry that the Rajasthan Royals couldn’t make the semifinals, Shilpa, but I’m happy, and you’re happy, at the way this cricket extravaganza has turned out. Keep your stake of the Rajasthan Royals, remain their brand ambassador, and write once you’ve returned to India, please.
