It was Mother’s Day. My car entered a gate and we (Gauri and I) were greeted by a very positive vibe as we entered a lane lined by a lovely garden. As we got down to this place, we were greeted by the Sister (caretaker). Her demeanour made the house a cozy place to be. She had that maternal warmth which made her ideal for the place we had come to celebrate Mother’s Day. We were at an old age home.

It is always easy to say, ‘Wow, look at these celebrities. They have so many fans. They are always hounded by people and get the best treatment wherever they go!” Yes, that’s the upside of being a celeb alright. And according to me, rightly so, because this is what a celebrity earns besides name, fame and awards, love and good wishes from so many people. But yes, sometimes this love is so much that we really have to think how to handle these fans. Not all are the same but yes we do come across fans who we really don't know what to make of.

This is a recent experience I would like to share with all of you. We had decided to take Nevaan and Katya to Shirdi. So as usual Gauri planned everything well in advance. She did all the bookings including renting a car. Yes, we travelled by road. Everyone warned us about the bad roads. Well we are used to such roads but on a long journey and that too with our angels it was a different ball game. We decided to go via Pune so that we could take a break there and the kids could relax before proceeding for the rest of the trip.

Every year around the end or so Gauri and I take a break. In simple words, we go for our vacation. Every year we try to go to our favourite destinations, favourite cities and come back with a huge bag of memories and artefacts. Gauri is especially fond of picking up artefacts from all over the world.
