8.15 am: A marine engineer once told me: I've slept for just under 8 hours... can I push it to 9 and blame traffic?? Nooo! My conscience pulls me out of bed.

8.30 am: So these red streaks in my hair bleed everywhere after a shower. My bathroom looks like a murder site red puddles on the floor, red on the towels...

9.45 am: Have trained my staff to get me ready in a maximum of 20 minutes don't have the patience for hair and make-up!

2.30 pm: Lunch. Meeting a couple of friends for a quick bite: a teriyaki salad and grilled chicken sandwich washed down by a berry smoothie that complements my magenta hair!

6 pm: Lighting change for an evening scene so have 90 minutes off. I change into my tracks, head to the nearest gym and do some power yoga.

7.15 pm: My hairdresser rolls her eyes at me as I am sweaty and she needs to re-do everything but my make-up artist appreciates the after-glow of a hal-aasan.

8.30 pm: Dinner on set. Huge spread thai green curry, rice, chicken wanton soup, dumplings, fish in black bean sauce... I have a little of everything hey, I did 50 suryanamaskars today!

9.15 pm: Pack and I'm in the car before you can say up!

12.15 am: Reading Michael Connelly's 'The Overlook', a fast paced thriller. Bad choice for a bedtime book as it's keeping me up! Reluctantly stick in a bookmark and leave the end for tomorrow.

1.30 am: Someone rang my doorbell! Hauled self out of bed and saw it was the night security with a society letter! Note to self however much you dislike someone, you must not set fire to them!
