The beauty of sand dunes steal Asin's heart

Asin has just returned from a foreign trip to shoot for 'Ghajini.' Asked about her experiences, she waxes lyrical.

"We went to Namibia and South Africa. Hindi 'Ghajini' is the first Indian film to be shot in Namibia. The days used to be blazing hot and nights bitterly cold. We somehow managed them both.

There's desert as far as the eye can see. That's Namibia. The sand dunes are in shades of brown, blue and black. The more you look at them, the more you are amazed that nature can be so beautiful and sand can really be in such shades of color, especially when the sun shine son them. One needs a thousand eyes to drink in those beautiful sights.

Each sand dune has an identifying number. The one we shot on was # 65. The song "Suttumvizhi sudare" was shot on this 3000 ft high sand dune. When climbing up, the legs would sink one foot deep into the sand. The hot sandy desert wind would affect the eyes, nose and ears. Just thinking about how we climbed up and down like this for 6 days and shot the song gives me a feeling of thrill," says Asin, eyes closed in reminiscences.

And we felt one also needs a thousand eyes to feast eyes on pretty Asin!
