VISHAL TOSHNIWAL writes again to say he still believes I over reacted on the nurse, lying in abject poverty, matter. And he now informs me that his girlfriend is nurse Julie’s daughter !! Her name is Susan !!
Well, you have coerced me to give you details from my side as well.
On the 5th of June 2008, a sum of Rs 2 lakhs was deposited by me in the Savings Bank Account of Julie, in the State Bank of Mysore, Bangalore Branch. I have the copy of the draft and account details, which I do not make public for reasons of security and ethics.
This deed was done more than a month ago as you will observe.
I hope you take care of your girlfriends Mother.

Dear Amitji,
Wow, a lot has happened on your blog in the past week or two. Pics from your Indore tour to media reports on how the media sensationalizes/distorts the facts to your journey down memory lane to one of the fabulously shot songs JUMA CHUMMA DE DE to you reminiscing about Smita Patil to Abhishek not winning any award for GURU (IMHO he definitely deserved one) to you pondering on what would happen when time deals a cruel blow when all the glamour and glory is lost. Wonderful thoughts all of them. Though, I have to mention here that you should have stopped and offered Mr. Bharat Bhushan the ride that you had thought about. After all how many times have you come across him standing in a bus stop like this and who knows he would have appreciated it.
Couple of things that I have learned in my 40 yrs of existence (BTW I just had a great 40th birthday, not that you care but I like to mention anyways…funny thing is my wife kept saying that she has requested Amitabh Bachchan to wish me on his blog…even though I knew it was a joke and was not possible somewhere deep down in my heart I wished for it to be true…naive of me but hey you never know!! okay enough digression…)
is that
a) jab jo khayal man mein aaye usse pura kar lena chahiye, nahi to sochte hi rah jaayoge and
b) never assume what the other person will or is thinking without doing your deed. finish your deed and then let them have their say, you will be surprised by the comments.
anyways, time to move on and focus on your forthcoming UNFORGETABLE TOUR. I have my tickets booked for the August 15th show in Nassau Coliseum and look forward to see you perform there. All the best for all your shows on the tour!
Another observation going through your posts from last few days is that you are now getting back to your readers (cant call them fans if they doubt you) about their view on what you have done for any individual or for the country. Just forget them and why even bother, as long as you know what you do and your conscious is clear that’s what matters… no need to pay heed to unscrupulous characters like these.
Just Have Fun! Have a ball having fun and while at it don’t forget to take care of your health.
Good Health Always

Looks like the cat is out of the bag. Poor Vishal cannot take care of his girl friend’s mom and has decided to make you his bait. Not sure how mean spirited people can be. The amount you gave was/ is a substantial amount and he has no right to dispute your action. He seems to be looking for an easy to making some quick money.We love you, Mr. Bachchan.

Hello Sir
This message is for Vishal Toshniwal..I am sorry to say but its a pity that you have to ask Mr Bachchan to take care of your girlfriend’s mother..Why cant you take care of her. Arent you ashamed to ask for money from a third person.? I can be really blunt here and say yes Julie took care of Mr Bachchan but as a nurse wasnt she just doing her duty so why this hue and cry from your side saying he has to reciprocate that by giving her money? Be a man and take care of your girlfriend and her mother and stop asking for charity and belittle Julie’s name.

Salaam Sir,
Hope your well and in good health.
If i may say with the greatest respect and admiration for you, i dont see why you need respond to these people in such detail! Yes, we do need to stand up for our selfs, and yes we should look to clear any mis understandings, but this guy and many others are living up their 2 seconds of fame at your expence.
Please, respond to me, respond to your fans, respond to people who have prayed for you in good times and bad, respond to people who are eager to see your work good or bad, and when seeing any bad eagerly looking forward to your next.
I remember around 4 years ago, saw you up close in the gym, i was eager to say hello, but more importantly i was more concerned about intruding your privacy and disturbing you.
Fans like me just want to be inspired, and long may it continue.
As always Take Care and All the Best

lol :). Mr Bachchan - I like your reply. I do not understand the theory behind this. Just because a nurse helps you ( guess she was only doing what she was paid to do) recover does that establish a moral debt on you. Is that indebtness established over everyone she has ever helped during her career as a nurse ? or is it because you have the means to help her while other don’t ? or it is because you are the kind of person who in all his kindness seems vulnerable and susceptible to emotional blackmailing ?
I dont mean to sound inhuman but at the same time i believe that the expectation in this instance was unfair.I believe, we all owe to society our gratitude and should give back to the world a part of what the world gives us. However, this should be a personal choice based on ones desire and assessments.
I think its very sad that we the so called fans can get a icon we adore so upset that provokes him to share details of his philanthropic activity.

I have a quick question for you Amit jee, unrelated to above-
Long time back in late eighties and much before Agneepath the movie I had a Cassete which had several poems by Harivansh rai Bachchan ji recited by you.
one of them was ofcourse Agneepath, the other one was - I just remeber a line where it said something like– In logon ne bhagwaan ko mandir mein band kar diya hai, so that woh hamare karm na dekhe, main hee aa jaaoonga , jab mujhey uske darshan karne honge
I lost that cassete and have wanted to get another cassete or CD ever since but do not know where to get it from?
Any Ideas, Amit Jee??

Hello Mr. Amitabh,
I have been following your blog since you wrote. Its really nice to know you through this medium. I just love you as an actor, you’re the best !
But my husband believes that you are just too busy to write on your own. According to him, you have somebody who writes for you. Can you please confirm that its you who writes. With all the media coverage and all the news of your blog, is it possible that you dont write?
Wish there was some way you could say that yes its you.

Mr. Bachchan,
It was not neccesary for you to provide proof that you have actually helped the nurse who is going through financial woes. The very fact that YOU knew the real truth of the matter that you had actually helped her by sending money a month ago was all that was needed. But since you have gone and made it clear in this post that you have sent 2m lakhs to the nurse in order to help her situation. Then this a very generous and commendable gesture on your part.
That money should very much help take care of her. I hope her relatives are actually using that money to help take care of her. I hope her relatives have not squandered the money you have sent to her and are not trying to fleece more money out of you on this matter. However this should be the end of it. There is no need to continue to talk about this issue or to entertain any other unjust accusations from the blogger vishal toshniwal. Mr. Bachchan, you have done your part by sending the money to help her and that is all you can do. It’s time to let this matter be. Its in God’s hands now.
Best wishes!!

I had read Vishal’s last comment hours ago. I had wanted to address him too but having problem with my computer - signal low and constantly cutting off!!!. Been trying to post this for ages!!! I don’t even know if this will get sent or not….
Really you didn’t have to disclose! But I suppose I can see why you felt it necessary. I had already taken faith that you had helped that lady. And I am sure many more had rightfully assumed the same conclusion.
But since reading Vishal’s last post where he himself revealed of his relationship with Julie “the nurse I am left with questions…
Vishal -
1. Where is Julie living?!
2. What’s your girlfriend Susan - and I suppose you too since you are connected to her - doing to help her?! And I don’t mean money but comfort. How are you both helping to alleviate her pain?!
And Mr Bachchan….
Now that you have disclose the help you gave, I am even more baffled?!
1. Vishal - who has authority to Julie’s bank account?!
2. And what was the money use for?!
And with all the financial help that she was given -
Why is she in abject poverty?!!!
This is very worrying???

Dear AmitJi
Although I would say that you replied very well to people like Vishal, However I have strong objection to your responses to an ordinary mortal like him as he is simply exaggerating the issue here.
You were treated by Nurse ‘X’ while you were seriously injured and recovering in a hospital. The nurse was doing her duty and you were lying in the hospital as a common man. Life , injury and survival is not within one’s hand not even Amitabh Bachchan or for that matter in that Nurse’s hand. It is the supreme authority who decides when to take that precious breath away from someone.
This therefore means that all that happened during those few months was an interaction between 2 human beings doing their jobs one as a care giver and the other as injured person.
Now if that person happens to be the biggest superstar of the country and the nurse obviously having aged and fallen under bad times , someone from obscurity like this Vishal guy suddenly escalates this issue and tries to give it prominence which it does not deserve. If he is so concerned about Julie’s plight then as a prospective son-in-law he should be the first to do whatever he can do (beg,borrow or steal) to cure her if he is really concerned which I doubt he is. Although you went to the extreme distance of explaining your largess you could have easily ignored this as just a bark. I have spent a lot of precious words here as I felt quite upset by this ungrateful person when he questioned the most sensible icon of the country.
Amitji the poems that you have published today from Late Shri HarivanshraiJi’s collection are undoubtedly dipped with sarcasm and contain a lot of deeper meaning which everybody in this modern world has conveniently forgotten in the race to accumulate worldly goodness.
Keep writing and publishing these fantastic proses as it brings us close to humanity and makes us become better person.
Take good care of yourself and rest enough to make sure the old engine is charged for the next day’s run. This engine has to last long and pull a lot of weight still …….

LOL…this is hilarious. Something like chor calling coal black. Oprah Winfrey (the world’s first black billionaress) discovered that she was pulled in EVERY direction, people asking for money (relatives as well as charitable institutes as well as strangers). Then she put her foot down. She decided which causes she cherishes (e.g education; girl child) and devote her time and money only to THOSE causes that are dear to her. Mr Bacchan needs to come up with policy similar to Oprah or maybe emulate Bill Gates by creating a charitable arm in his company.

Respected Mr. Bachchan,

THIS GUY WHO CALLS HIMSELF BOYFRIEND OF JULIE”S Daughter,what has he done for his girlsfrnd’s mom besides asking for help from Mr. BACHCHAN.Isnt he himself capable enough to take care of his grlfrnd’s mom??????
I have no grudges against this guy.I just pity his thinking.MAY GOD BLESS HIM WITH WISER THOUGHTS!!

I don’t think you should have been “coerced” into providing this information. Your word is certainly enough for myself and I suspect for many others like me. I would also suggest that you not be so wounded at such clearly scurrilous accusations. That you are not more thick-skinned in these matters clearly indicates your sincerity and yet perhaps you ought to be ‘harder’ in these matters. Because others might coerce you into providing all sort of information based on this. I do concede that this matter is a little out of the ordinary since Toshniwal claims to have direct relations with the nurse’s daughter. All I can say is that he has found a most dubious method to raise the money for his girlfriend’s mother! I doubt Julie would approve of his harassing of yourself in this matter. In fact she would probably be a little mortified to learn that she is being embarrassed so severely in the matter when she has no part in it and when the person being pestered has already helped! Ultimately I question the sincerity of all such people. I have noticed quite a few responses along similar lines elsewhere on your blog. I think that to begin with this coupling of a legendary movie star (yourself) with acts of charity should be resisted. There is certainly greater responsibility on those who are blessed with a greater name. At the same time no one can ‘demand’ such acts of anyone else. It is particularly hypocritical when one considers how little anyone does in other ‘regular’ walks of life. Everyone has this responsibility, not only those who are public figures. This move whereby one absolves oneself of all responsibility to do anything and expects everything from public figures is one I am deeply suspicious of. A friend of mine made the wonderful point on a blog the the other day that perhaps we should stop celebrating Einstein for his relativity theory and first inquire into how much of a ‘good samaritan’ he was. Then we should similarly investigate all important public figures, living and deceased! This entire idea is pure hogwash! I know for a fact that you have done a lot and continue to do a lot in all sorts of ways for all sorts of causes and public interests. In a word ‘charity’. It is anonymous which is why it is truer charity than anything else. I love that saying about the left hand not knowing what the right hand has given. To this extent I regret Toshniwal extracted this kind of confession from you. Do not be wounded so much. This world is full of the ethically challenged who prove this every day by among other things casting doubts on the ethics of others. Incidentally in this entire discourse there’s one thing that went unnoticed. When Julie was ‘helping’ you as a nurse was she not doing her job? Or does one choose what patients one helps in a hospital? Evidently you owe your nurses something more than most of us other ‘ordinary citizens’ when we make trips to the hospital!This whole discussion Toshniwal has started is really such a farce. Wish he would use his time more wisely and start helping his girlfriend’s mother (if indeed he is speaking the truth in this matter) instead of launching invectives against you!

Sir,
That is ridiculous! VISHAL TOSHNIWAL is boyfriend of nurse Julie’s daughter !! I think Sir you have to be careful of the people who write on this blog. I would like to highlight the fact that there is no way for you to know what kind of person is writing on your blog. All you have is a name and the hope that people will be honest when they write something. VISHAL TOSHNIWAL is a perfect example. First he made a big accusation on you saying that you have not done anything for nurse Juli and now he is mentioning the fact of his realationship. I think its very unfair. But at the same time I pray for the nurse to recover soon and may God bless her. As I have mentioned earlier, please BE CAREFUL. Some people may try to mislead you by writing false things on your blog. Just take care and BE CAREFUL.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

if he was so wise ,or anybody, who understands the situations into what, YOU or anybody who is famous gets traped , will not talk rubbish .No need to answer them even if you give them blood they will tell you that you only gave them blood (becoz you are big B ) so no need and above all, i dont know the exact shloka from sanskrit (i had an extra subject intead of hindi in class 10th )but it meant ” you can never make everybody happy ” .. if you are a servant and work more to impress your master he will think you want more money and if you are a master and you talk to your servant nicely then he will think you want more work and so on ..
so be careful or as my grandfather always says (be carelessly careful so that no body knows that you are being careful)and i want to know more about the man who took poison coz you did not give him 25 lacks for his business , wat happend to him was he saved stupid man , every body should know that even god helps them who help themselves .
sir as you scold people if you don’t like their comment then can you also please write to them , whose comment(s) you liked that will be like life time thing for us fans

I don’t know why you had to defend yourself, you are above all these. Or maybe not everyone looks at you like I do and there are people who jump at any opportunity to spoil your reputation and hurt you. I wonder what they get from that, maybe money, maybe fame, but then both are same thing.

Hello Mr. Bachchan,
The expectation of high rewards is so high from people who earn good money….and amazingly this is very common among many people across the world.
This makes me think that does someone providing any kind of service will diffentiates between people with money and no money….because if not then why different expectations for rewards. Whether someone making decent money and other making good money, they all pay for the service provided. So why this extra expectation from someone making good money…
As much as I from the bottom of my heart want Julie to get better, but I feel ashamed of people like Vishal T.

Hi Amit,
There is absolutely no need for you to react or be answerable to any tom, dick or harry. Like all of us, you continue doing what you feel like doing and to whom you feel like doing and for the causes you believe in. Ours is a democratic society, which gives this right to everyone of us. Just because you happen to be a celebrity, no one should try to gain their 15 mts fame by attempting to tarnish yr image.

You entries in Hindi will inspire me to learn the language seriously one day. I told someone not long ago that If I had more time I would learn Hindi so I can speak proper Hindi like Amitabh Bachchan!
Politics, unfortunately, is considered by most people involved that it is just a game of power. When they are in the circle they have lost their sight and think only of what they can gain personally. It happens everywhere in this world.
Politics has corrupted people, or people has corrupted politics?
I must say that the bravest are those who enter politics unarmed, hoping that their good intention for the mass will manifest if they really try. Little do they know it is not that easy. Not only that the chance of them serving as ’saviour’ may not be fulfilled, but in the process they might also be accused of the ’sinner’ themselves.
Some have learnt the hard way and withdrawn. Some have blended in and become comfortable. Politics creates environment where people cannot tell black from white, and right from wrong. Power really is a dangerous thing if taken by the wrong hands.
I hope you are not too upset with Mr VISHAL TOSHNIWAL. Whatever perception he has of you, it cannot change the fact that you have been generous and done the best you can to help the lady. You know this and it is the truth.
Of course, it is very hurtful to be accused of something you have not done. But please do not let people’s negative remarks damage your confidence or feelings. They probably say these things just to get your reaction/attention. We always have faith and trust in you as a decent human-being, and no one can sway us!
I hope you have a lovely day ahead and feel great. Do take care.

I think that there are many comments so harsh on you and it’s sad to read that. Some people are so malicious with their false charges.
MR VISHAL TOSHNIWAL leave Mr Bachchan alone. If you doubt his words on the nurse, it’s your problem. God, Mr Bachchan and the nurse herself know the truth. He doesn’t need to prove you all what he makes for the social cause.
Love you Aishwariya, i hope you’re fine today. Abhishek i like read your comments on facebook. I’m excited to see your item number in Mission Istanbul.

Take care of your health

Hello Mr. Bachchan, thanks for those “Kaivita’s”..on day 75 you had mentioned about Bharat Bhusan, I m wondering after knowing his condition did you arrange an meeting with in your own film fraternity to help him? Wasn’t it possible for you guys to arrange an Amitabh Bachchan night , collect the funds and give it to Bharat Bhusan?? I have heard Raghuvir Yadav a few times saying “it’s better to get some cash instead of Awards” …
and One question I believe every one in film industry makes a hell lot of money, then how come they end with these conditions??? Is it poor financial planning? or some bad habits?

Why do you feel the need to answer to such people ?
In your heart and our hearts we know who you are, so why bother with such things ?
You do what you feel is right and in your capacity, then why let such things get to you ??
it’s not worth it - one way or the other people will try to get a reaction out of you..
i am way too miniscule to say these things, but its what i truly feel.
best regards as always..

thats a good way to settle it with Vishal Sir. I would not like to comment on this debate, because its your personal view as to how you clarify matters with him. Atleast some people will learn not to blabber just for the heck of it.

Dear Amitji,
Truth always prevails!! Mr Vishal< i hope you have read this. Think before you question Some one.
I am so happy you have told this on the blog. Sometimes being quiet huts. Let them know what you did.
Hope all are well in the family and all recovered or on the way to recovery. Keep writing, its a joy every single day to read your blog. Thank God!! you choose this medium. Your writings have great depth, and now we have discussion at our home on your writings. To share your intellect, is a greater gift to others than anything else. It will remain with us forever, no one ever take it. Thanks,

Toshival was trying to instigate you ..he has become a ‘name’ that is recognized by the readers of the blog, friends of the readers of the blogs ( the circle will continue to expand ). Sooner than later there will be more copy-cat posters. Why stoop down to their level?
A person’s heart and mind is the true judge of his/her deeds .. as long as you are at peace with your decisions, why bother with such ‘noise-makers’?

Dear Amit ji
I feel, you should not react to what Toshniwal said……… If Susan is his girlfriend he must be aware by now about the transactions through his girlfriend as he states. I would suggest you have given enuf clarifications on this issue, if you keep on going, there will be more and more Toshniwal’s will come up every day.
Take good care of yourself.
Kind Regards

why is Big B too much into answering back and forth to Vishal Toshniwal, if a nurse is doing her duty of serving patients why is it a big deal !!
I am a physician myself at present in US we work hard as MD or Nurses not to get more then customary for our services……………. we dont wait for Big B or else to get into hospital and EXPECT to be helped later if needed…………. Big B is generous enough to even contribute………… I wont have done this………..not a single penny, though I would have contributed to a trust fund if any opened to help the nurse who took care of me ( hopefully not)
Mr Toshniwal please be quite now and thank big b for his gesture !!

Something is wrong with Vishal. My sympathies to Julie for having such a potential son-in-law. He seems to be jumping the gun without verifying facts. Thanks Amitji for your help to this needy lady. I certainly am with you that such things are not publicised, but for people like Vishal!
And believe me, he would have approached you even if his girlfriend had some financial needs - of course the argument being that she is the daughter of the nurse that took care of you.
Vishal, how about you also put your mouth to action and do something for Julie, who is the mother of your girlfriend.
I hope she recovers soon.

One thought Vishal was like most of us, a hardcore Big B fan, once he placed his apology. However, his failure to be informed about Mr Bachchan’s help, keeping in mind his so-called closeness to Julie, now raises strong doubts about this whole issue.
First of all, why should Big B worry about this lady, why not Vishal himself? Why keep running for alms from one corner to another? This sounds strange, and I sympathize with Mr Bachchan very much now, that he has to silently suffer so much due to these unmindful, selfish elements. How could anybody demand for money so bluntly? Had the money been offered to somebody closely known by the Bachchans, then it would make sense. But this lady wasn’t any of those immediate people…was she? Yet Big B had to help her just to keep PAAGAL mediawallahs silent.
I too ended up writing a sympathetic message for Vishal last night. But, now feel it could have been avoided. There are doubtful figures posting around at the behest of media, it seems. Better keep silent on these issues in future: my Teesri Kasam!

Dear Amitji
I saw your note addressing to Vishal Toshniwal that you deposited amount in the account of Julie ( Nurse) but i strongly feel you do not need to provide any clarification or any information about your charity as Vishal is not a goverment agency who can ask for any information about your chairty.As if you give this time a proof of your act of chairty then later someone else will stand up….this goes on endless….
You are a public figure but that does not mean every act or deed should be made public…
Mr. Vishal Toshniwal can you provide details of chairty you have done so far

Amitji,
I am surprised that this one person could get to you so badly. There is a phrase “ignore barking dogs” and that is what you have to do. Aap ko kyun lagta hai ki aapko kisi ko bhi apne charitable kaam ka hisaab dena hai. You have to ignore some ppl like this person. I thought you gave him the unncessary attention he craves and I am sure he is gloating in his successful mission. It will just get others to say mean things to you, so that they can get your attention and be addressed in a post.

Dear Mr Bachchan, I really liked reading your Day 75.. I could visualize the entire filming of that song.. Would love to read more about your memories of these various special shots..or scenes which affected you the most.. or made you laugh the most.. the pranks that were played on the sets. All these give us a different perspective of the movie industry.
Also would like to know if there is anyway I could meet you for a few mins during your LA tour just to get your autograph &/ Or your picture ? Thanks. Archana, Detroit.

Dear Sir,
Thanks for clarifying this issue with facts. It is truly a GREAT HUMANITARIAN gesture on your behalf! I am sure you must have done many other such BENEVOLENT acts and will continue to do so.
I occassionally read the comments of other fans on this blog. Some of them are quite irritating and obnoxious but I ignore them for they do not merit any consideration. But it seems this person has some ULTERIOR motives. There are many that come to mind but I refrain from mentioning them here. I am, however, reminded of my late Physics Professor’s wise words which I repeat - ‘There are two ways of becoming popular - one by sheer hard work and dedication; the other by shouting like a madman on the chowraha!’
Warm regards and all the best today, tomorrow and always!

Very nice gesture indeed Sir.
One thing, I’m not certain about is, the authenticity of Vishal Toshniwal’s claim that Julie is his girlfriend’s mother. I mean anybody could have cooked up this story to seek your attention one way or the other. Anyways, regardless of all this, you’ve done a great deed by saving Julie’s life. I’m sure Julie and her family will always be grateful to you for this noble gesture. Surely it must given you immense satisfaction in doing the same !
Have a nice day !

Amitabh is the best !

What!! Holy Shmoly! Vishal is Julie’s potential damaad!!!
All the time i was wondering why you are taking on this dude from nowhere, when so many other write more crap notes to you.
You probably had an inkling he had some connection with the family??
I bet you are on to something with Madhukar Pandey too. You obviously know more than what we percieve.
Anyways, well replied. I do hope he takes care of of his would be m-i-l.

Sir,
You are an icon and need not give clarification to all the acts you do. In the past when ABCL, was not doing god, you could have easily declared it bankrust and taken away a easier path without paying sinle paisa to the stakeowners, however you did work hard and paid all the dues, which itself shows how genuine you are.
Asking sensitive questions and targetting you is an easy way to become famous. In my opinion this topic should be ignored.

Hi Amitji,
Wellcome to our L.A. I am coming to see you at your show unforgetable. Is it possible i can see you personaly and see abhishek. I love both of you. Please email me your answer.
Thanks,

Aha! This episode reminds me of this beautiful movie, I believe called Ek Anokha Faisla(with Pankaj Kapoor), which I believe is a copy of the English movie 12 Angry Men. It’s about a jury deliberation. But it portrays so well how opinions (and prejudices) can eventually be traced back to your past experiences and your background.
Anyways Sir, as you so stylishly say, matter finis!
love you Sir,

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
I have been a silent reader of your blog since the time you started it. It pains me to see you justify (almost) all your actions. Whether it is the ‘North India’ episode or your philantrophic deeds or your opinions on shows or social issues.
I admire the courage with which you must bear this heavy burden and hope that some of that strength passes on to mortals like me.

It is wrong for Toshniwal or whoever to ask Mr Amitabh that he should undertake charity, donate etc. It’s upto him whether he wanted to help the person who nursed him. Didn’t he pay the hospital bills for the care he had received ? Toshniwal wasn’t upfront and didn’t tell us why he was rooting for this nurse in particular!! Now we know why? Amitabh can not keep on paying 2 lakhs here, 2 lakhs there.
We will be justified in asking Amitabh to come clean when supposedly AmarSingh gifted Ferrari or some other expensive car to his son as a Birthday Gift. Some doubts will be casted upon him when he befriends with disgusting people like AmarSingh. Amar Singh doesn’t even know how to speak two sentences properly in English, yet he is qualified to draw comparison between Bush and Advani.

Vishal Toshniwal, I understand that your girlfriend’s family is going through a difficult time with her mother’s health. Just a couple of things that I don’t understand.
1st. You are ranting and raving but obviously Julie would like to keep these matters private otherwise she would have told you that she has received the money. You are creating unnecessary tensions for the family.
