7 am: Wake-up call. Once again at the gym with my nephew Neil. Super work-out like always. Ready to go.
8.30 am: Look out of the window and realise it's pouring. Shoot is now cancelled for first half.
9 am: Breakfast (fruits, oatmeal, egg whites and a strong cup of tea though nothing like our desi chai).
10 am: Conference call to Mumbai. Working while not working.
11 am: Off to Bass-Pro to look for outdoor gear, probably one of the biggest outdoor stores I have seen. Truly amazing! One lakh sq ft area under one roof. I end up buying an outdoor charcoal grill.
1pm: Lunch. Thai Food... my favourite!

| u00a0On the sets, when we are shooting on an expensive property, the legs of all equipment are covered with these tennis balls. Just made a friend sit there like a ball boy and voila, we have a Wimbledon moment... |
2 pm: Spot a beautiful macaw and a bearded dragon on the way back to the room after a heavy meal. I doze off while talking to my nephew.
4 pm: Wake-up call. I run to shoot "Downtown" on a trawler making my way through the city of Toronto.
7 pm: Wrap and back to the hotel, to meet the boys who are having a session of laughter... bonding big time. I love it.
9 pm: Off to dinner. I realise the Thai restaurant is closed, same with the Chinese and eventually I end up at Jack (or whatever it is called). Lousy meal and service. Realised there is no place better then aamchi Mumbai, back to the room and crash out with one nephew on my right and the other one on my left. Love being a maamu...good night.
