When the US army announces it sending 1000 soldiers to Iraq, what it really means is that it is sending 329 combat troops and 671 support personnel. For every soldier fighting and taking bullets, there are two more to support him. These so-called support troops are very important for any combat operations. They are Engineers, Doctors, Psychologists, Corpsman, Mechanics, and Bomb Loaders to name a few and holds ranks ranging from Private First Class to a Colonel.
That’s how it is in making films – I reckon. For every Blonde and beautiful actress romancing her boyfriend on the screen; there are many (depending on the Paymaster) that "support" her, and make it possible for those scenes to happen jus right or as per whims and fancies of the most nervous guy on the set usually referred to as “the Director”!
Even though the folks above are part of the word “crew” they are much more than that. If weren’t for them my challenges would have had a field day. I am obliged to these and many more (…and you know who you are!) that made it possible for me to realize a long cherished dream.
A short cut to find how happy you are is to find how many friends you have. I am happy that this film multiplied my happiness by bringing closer these bunch of good-hearted people. Some of these would be my friends for life and some would move on chasing their own Doosra Kinara. However, I am happy to have known them.

BTW the folks shown here are all 4 stars Generals in their own rights. They are Tarantinos, Deepa Mehtas and Mahesh Dattanis of the future - Watch out for these faces.
