Main chali: Before driving back to Mumbai |
12 pm: Finally at my grandma's home in Pune. She is delighted to see me. We laugh and joke and chat and giggle like two schoolgirls (though she is 91). Have lunch together and some mangoes for dessert... God I love to see her eat them with glee.
1 pm: I rest with her. Lying beside her, holding her hand, we doze off till 3 pm. While she sleeps, I quietly sneak off to the guest room.
5 pm: I'm changed and ready as I have to be at a mall for the inauguration of a saree store.
6 pm: At the storeu2026 Whew! The crowds can drive you crazyu2026 Loads of autographs and pictures with fans later and I escape soon.
7.15 pm: Back to my grandmas house. I have an early dinner with her. We have some yummy chicken and waran-bhaath (dal-chaawal). Typically Maharatrian meal. My grandma's house is a culinary delight
8.30 pm: I reluctantly leave my grandma's side and start my long drive to Mumbai. Have Jagjit Singh playing on my iPod. He soothes and calms me after a hectic day. Driving slowly...
1 am: Home. I shower, brush my teeth and just collapse into bed... I have no energy today to read or to talk or to turn on the TV. Asleep by 2 amu2026
