HEY HITESH! HEY FATS!

GREAT NEWS! UPS DELIVERED MY MERCHANDISE AT 8PM

LAST NIGHT!

I repackaged it all up so it will be sent out in today's mail when I get to work...it should arrive to SURI and Orlando by Thursday!!! YAHOO!!!!!

I sent my 1/2 of merchandise to LARGE INDIAN GROCERY store in ORLANDO. The Manager has promised to have sales associates wear metal buttons and pass out dome stickers to customers...WHILE WEARING THE T~SHIRTS! Sounds GREAT, huh? I sent him the BOOK and MUG for himself...

Suri, your box will contain 1/2 of what I received (there were no watches at all, and no posters..but you knew about the posters already...)

SO HAPPY OUR STUFF ARRIVED IN TIME TO GET TO ITS DESIRED DESTINATIONS!!!

Love to all...but especially to Mr. Bachchan... :D

Well i'm sorry SKR...if you would have read an email sent to the group.... Viacom stated that the merchandise was finished and they were not going to make anymore...so unfortunately the extra merchandise we so desperately needed, didn't happen. But it's great that you are promoting the movie in Chicago...

Since I never received the material as I had requested, I will promote the movie in Chicago all by myself, as usual.
