How I got the Life Size Print of the Message Wall containing 1000+ Happy Birthday Messages Delivered at SRK's House/office!!

8.30a.m.- Chintan, Nitin and Sharib have to send me the pdf file for the messagewall (Birthday Wishes for SRK) but haven't. It's understandable...the wall has 1250 messages (more now)!First, I decide to hang around at home...once the file reaches my mail, I can save it in my pen drive and then go to the printers...

10.30a.m.- It's getting a bit late. I have to be at Shah Rukh's office at 2p.m...the printer will take atleast 4 hours to print, laminate and then mount the poster. I decide i'll receive the file at the printing shop. This would save me a good half an hour.

11.00 a.m.- I reach Allwyn Xerox in Andheri (E). Initially, they create a fuss about the file not being the actual size...but eventually, do a damn neat job.

1.00 p.m.- Finally the printing begins. Its a huge machine that can print any size x 5 ft. as the colours appear, I get really excited....the quality is just what we wanted. The size of our poster has increased from 3ft x 3ft to 5ft x 3 ft to 6 ft x 4 ft. I realise that the messages will be legible only at that size.

2.15 p.m.- The poster gets laminated. 2.30- It's mounted on a fibre 'sign' board.

2.45pm- The rough edges are cut out. 2.50- 'Alcohol' treatment-to clean the poster.

3.00p.m.- The 'wall' is packed. Manoj-the boy who managed the proceedings.

3.15 p.m.- The cab driver ties it to the roof of the cab.

He supports the poster (actually a hoarding by now!) from one side and I from the other.

'Mannat'- King Khan's abode. The Greek like structure in the front is his residence, the apartment like building behind is his office.

I enter from the side gate that takes me straight into this swanky Red Chillies' office.

4.15 p.m.- Karuna accepts the message wall. She seems pleasantly surprised by its size.

I venture into the office kitchen for a glass of water n I spot this. Another year...Another fan...Another Birthday present...

Another place- A news paper vendor and a display that says- Grab your copy of MidDay, edited by Shah Rukh Khan. Well, I got mine.

But it was a helluva experience doing this. And what a super effort - from the moment the wall was created by chintan and then pushed by sharib and nitin and then my final delivery, it has been an exciting 96 hrs !!!!!
