Dear Mum, Tony and Winnie,
Thank you for your re- welcomes. I am glad to be here and on a differnt note. Winnie - you mentioned about spending a life time looking for something which was right under our nose. However, in my case I was looking for something that I had lost 32 years ago and try as hard as I did could never find what I had been searching for. What I could not locate in 32 years, I found in two days. This was actually my last desire and I dont think I would have ever been a departed sould if I had not found what I was looking for. Today I can say - I am happy as can be, have no regrets, nothing against anyone - except, very frankly - one German - who went out of his way to create hell for me as he could not keep up with me. Thats one wish - I hope he rots in hell. My whole attitude changed overnight and I decided to take all the pains of both the illness - which I have no clue what it is upto as I have refused to visit a hospital or a doctor and then hav begun working out. Both the aches and pains still make me feel alive and I am glad that I still feel them.

I know this sounds a bit far fetched - but CNN is shooting a film on my life and we have been working on the same over the last two months - it will carry on for at least another two months. Its about the roller coaster ride I went through all my life since the age of seventeen till date. I hope it will make good viewing. I will let you'll know when its finished and to be aired and hope you all will take time to watch it.

Love you all.
Hugs,
Ananth

hi how have you been well i had a larengetomy and a pet scan in march think it is inflamation from my tep suregey in feb i hope so oi cant go through this again talk to you later

Dear Leity,
Trust me I can understand your sentiments and know what you are going through. Its amazing how small things develop into major things. It just shows how much control we have on our own lives. I recall that I refused to get my vocal cords removed and think that was the best thing I did. However, I never expected fistulas to crop up and not heal and so needed a tracheostomy. Now it means -I cannot eat or drink orally - however- do talk through the gadget I created.
I am glad you wrote in Leity. Do keep writing as I find its a great way to get things off ones mind.
Lots of love,
Ananth

Hey Ananth

If anyone was going to have a film made of their life it would have to be you wouldn't it? Don't know how they are going to fit it all in! Can't wait to see it.

Love
Gwyn

Dear Gwyn,
I have really strived hard to get a movie made on me and I am just kidding. It was something that came out of the blue. The most amazing part is that the amount of research they have done on me and am sure they know more about me then I know myself. Who knows? we may have a repeat of the slumdog millionare once again!!! I will let you all know as to when its going to be telecast - so that you wont miss it.

With lots and lots of love,
Ananth.

Ananth,

Nice to see you in such great spirits! Would also love to know when your story is shown and if it can be seen in the U.S. I have always talked to my family about my friend from India and would love to see you, learn more about you and most importantly from you. Take Care.
