September 5, Friday: Abhishek, have you decided what to wear for the Drona music album release tomorrow? [He comes wearing kurta-pyjama] Na, na. Eta ekdom hobey na....Oh, sorry, forgot you can’t speak Bengali. Sigh.
September 6, Saturday: Wasn’t that nice? It felt nice to speak in Hindi instead of Serbo-Croat or Turkish for a change that we did in that ridiculously long ‘Unforgettable’ world tour.

September 9, Tuesday: Amar Singh-ji, I’m speaking to you in English not because I’m from England but because I don’t want you to misunderstand me. Please tell Amitabh not to say sorry. What? No, I’m not say-ing sorry!
September 10, Wednesday: What’s Kshama chahta hoon in Marathi?
September 11, Thursday: What’s Kshama chahta hoon in Mumbaiya? Oh, forget it. Just grovel, will you? Who’s reviewing The Last Lear? Balasaheb? Amay Alka-Seltzer dao Abhishek!
