Singapore July 22, 2009 Wed 11:00 PM
Really really embarrassed about yesterday’s post. Such bad presentation and such a tacky look and content. I was so frustrated by the loss of the broad band at the crucial hour that I just gave up at 5 am and let it go the way it was. My apologies.
I have always had problems with trying to catch up and relive what I may have lost on a particular DAY and so in keeping with the temperament I shall certainly not endeavor to break the sequence ! What is lost is lost. Perhaps it was not meant to go out to the EF.. and so there…
And.. if may add to the irritation of the advisors and the saner elements of our sweet little society… I am yet again posting straight on to the DAY, instead of following instructions to write and save on WORD. I am obstinate am I not ! But somehow, I cannot explain why, when I write on Word I just do not feel that I am conversing with you. It has seemed strange and alien. The thoughts remain stifled and lethargic. They bear an attitude which is different. Different not in the good sense, just different. For some reason I feel when I am direct on post, that each one of you sits there in front and listens as I punch. That sympathizes with each thought that comes out involuntarily. That joins me in laughter and mirth. That holds my hand as I reach out. That comforts my forehead and tells me - ‘get to bed you ‘ol fogie.. we have had enough !!’
So.. on to other matters !
I had said I would try and put you on to the memory test. Well … here it is. It is a site that you have to click to visit. I did try to put the test itself on the blog, but the engineers had a mini revolt at the server and said this was the best they could do. Seriously though they tried very hard but did not find a solution, hence this …
Before you get to the test here is what is expected of you -
Hi folks,This test will determine if you’re getting enough sleep or if your mind has really lost it! The test consists of three parts:
You’ll be shown 12 photos in the first part,
You’ll be shown another 12 photos in the second part,
You’ll be shown 48 photos in the third part and asked if you saw them in the first part, the second part - or never saw them at all.
When you have finished the third part, your results will be given to you.
Click here to take Face Memory Test.
I do sincerely hope either of the clicks works and you do have fun in assimilating what your memory percentages are.
Meanwhile back in the ranch - some photographs -
Thats the son, at IIFA Macau Fashion Extravaganza giving his spiel for the charity for the benefit of the workers in the Industry. All these proceeds that we collect goes in looking after lesser privileged workers and their families. Some IIFA’s we conduct a sporting event, a cricket match within two teams picked from the Industry and such like.
Thats the ‘ol fogie at a London restaurant - le Petit Maison - with the grand children whom you cannot see, because every time you point a camera at them they disappear under the table. Note the dark glasses guys and its subtleties. Let me know what you notice.
Thats me a little while ago, IPhotoed and Adobe Photo Shopped, in my room in Singapore as I settle down to address the world of EF. The ‘tracks’ and the ‘wrists’ are normal computer gear. This job is indeed athletic !
Thats at Jalsa. Some weeks ago. Actually shortly before the affectionate Shanouk wished to express his extreme love for me with an embrace..
And this, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is what I saw with my camera of other cameras. Pretty interesting eh..?
There have been some among you that have continuously added great value to this blog by their most pertinent and valuable comments, put across in the most eloquent manner. I laud their efforts and do urge them to continue to give us a greater and wiser vision on some of the topics that have without any specific purpose, come up during my writing. I would wish not to mention them by name, for I observe that many of you that do not get mentioned, show disappointment and anger. Rightly so I must confess. Everyone spends a great deal of time getting to the text, reading it understanding it - provided it is worth understanding - and then commenting on it. Thats a massive dedicated exercise and I must acknowledge that, here publicly and insist that you continue to add your invaluable impressions to enlighten us. The individual reactions to them shall come as soon as I start addressing the now much awaited ‘yellow line’ !
And so to the eclipse ! The Grahan as we call it in our language. For some an unusual sight to behold, for many others a sign and day of superstition and astrological connotations. For some a phenomena that shall perhaps reappear after some 300 years, long after we are all in heavenly abode - or who knows they may invent a drug soon enough to keep us going till then. For some a day of prayer and caution on the ill effects of the moment. For others of being a part of this in history and recording its occurence, like my staff in New Delhi did - here for your benefit -
I have no idea why they all came out looking green, but there it is. And so to the next 300 years when it shall appear again. I wonder when it happened 300 years ago in the 1700’s or so, what reaction it may have caused in the minds of mankind, struggling to contend with many of natures unexplained peculiarities. We live today in an advanced scientific age and have the ability to perhaps take in all this in better spirit, but then, in the 1700’s or worse in the 1400’s and the 1100’s… Goodness .. they must have thought the world was coming to an end !
And when you read and learn about space and the universe beyond our little earth, you really get amazed to discover what an infinitely small speck we all are in that world and I wish that millions and millions of us that live here and have the benefit of God’s grace to be inhabitants of Earth, to understand and realize how insignificant and inconsequential all our issues are compared to what exists in the rest around us. The sheer magnitude and expanse is so humbling. Yet, we are fighting and quibbling over matters that are petty and ugly and of no value.. A shame and a pity !!
The moon they say with every revolution around the earth is shifting in its orbit an inch, 1″ away from the earth, every year. And it shall take 5 billion years for it to disappear completely. This is one small little moon for earth. Imagine the many moons of other planets. Imagine the other planets of other galaxies, and the galaxies beyond..and beyond .. and beyond ..
Its 2:25 AM on the Thursday !! And I am bright and awake and fresh and active as one could possibly be. Its the state of the mind and the body that guides one into such condition. As I wait for my car to come up to pick me up from the Hospital here in Singapore and take me to my place of temporary residence , I come across an ailing gentleman pushing his own wheel chair and accompanied by nurses walking across to the lifts to get to his room from perhaps a compulsory walk in the garden downstairs. He stops to walk towards me. He smiles and thanks me for taking a photograph with his son. He says he and the lady with him are the sons parents. He is from Australia and his taped hand indicates the intrusive intravenous procedures that he must be going through for his treatment. I wish him a speedy recovery and politely ask him -
‘I hope you are well ?’
He holds my hand firmly with a broad smile and answers ‘You are as well as you want to be !’
What a simple strong statement. I shall be as well as I want to be. Yes for all of us, we must be as well as we want to be. I am as fresh and alert as I want to be now. I should be in bed and should be at rest, but I wish to be awake and to be fresh and so I shall be, so help me God !!
Shall baby ! Shall, shall shall … you mrmrsmswhatever Afternoon Despatched and Couriered to outer space ! Shall, shall shall….!!!
AND.. ONE.. MORE.. TIME….
SHALL.. S H A L L …!! Yeah !
Ok .. thats it for today. Off to bed and the remote and the TV, to catch a game or some news and then end up with SUN TV !! Yes.. yes .. yess.. SUN TV, that magnificent South Indian Channel from Chennai Tamil Nadu, playing non stop songs from their films !! I tell you.. their choreography and the locations and shot takings and the color combinations… just marvellous.
We in Mumbai, with all due respect, need to learn a lot from them !!
Me with love … and Marigold low fat yoghurt natural, with two columns of sugar !! Just consumed that to keep me HYPER !!
WHOOOSHH !!

Dear Mr Bachchan
Mos wonderful Blog, fantabulous photographs, oh joy and utter blissfullness..
Just have to tell you.. my first day on the PEBBLEOMETER and that quest for 10,000 steps…. man it’s HARD…
I am a very keen walker, and always take the LOOOONG walk to the train in the morning - there’s a tube station within 10 mins of my home but I ignore that one and walk through the park to a more distant station.
But despite this, AND despite never taking the lift, AND always using the stairs, AND taking a walk at lunch time to buy some soup, AND walking the long way home AND generally chasing the cats round the flat all night….
I’ve STILL only manged to clock up 4,315 steps so far today ….. DISASTER!
So clearly they have set the standard very high at 10,000 paces. MUST DO BETTER!!
This is my challenge for the rest of the summer, as I really need to get fit for LOTS of lemur tracking in Madgascar!!
I think I need some motivation… if only I knew you were at the end of my walk I could cover 100,000 steps… and lots more zeroes!
With so much love, Daisy
Daisy M… i reached 6656 yesterday, but the day before 2017.. tune up baby, or the lemurs will beat you to it.. love
Dear Amitji
Your one line mail with an appointment or whom to approach for an appointment would be great…It will be a moment that i share with my mentor /idol….
I have seen you as a person of humble nature , overall a good human…I don’t know what to say, but please do continue to entertain us for thats what we all look on.
Me and my family, wish you and your family good health.I am sure your visit to Singapore would have given you a different way of rest. Hope all goes well with Amar Singh ji, we wish him speedy recovery.
You have replied to me on your blog 454 and assured to meet me, thanks a million!.I have printed and blown it up. ITS MY BIGGEST GIFT!
I am your ardent fan, watched all your movies and my only wish is to meet you one day just for a handshake and a photograph. This is a continued request, could be frustrating to u! but then common man like me can ask you through your blog.
I am out of the country and have indefinite plans of when I shall be back.. but this blog is the best medium and hopefully something can be set up..
Mr. Bachchan,
Thank you so much for the pictures of the Grahan. Reminded me of the time when I was in India with my grandmother and her superstitions about the eclipse.
I liked the pictures of Abhishek, and you. Seems like you are in a kitchen of sorts overlooking a high rise, which can be seen from your glasses. You really are not that old and we do believe that you are young in heart. Besides, from some of your blogs, you’ve got a fantastic memory; better than most half your age.
Thanks for the memory test.I will be on the site as soon as the response to your blog is done. Hope Mr. Amar Singh is doing well. As mentioned by the Australian-you are as well as you want to be. Hopefully, now that you and your family are around, Mr. Amar Singh will recover real fast. Take care.
Sujata.
Sujata.. the pic is in a restaurant it is on the ground floor.. the kitchen ambience is part of the decor.. Amar Singh ji repairs well, thank you..
Dear Amitji
Thanks for sharing some pics..they are awesome!
one question, what happened to Johnny Mastana? is it on cards??
Regards
shankar
film complete.. legal issues between producer and hollywood being sorted out..
Dear Mr Bachchan
And before I take your fiendish memory test, and prove I have few remaining brain cells…
I hate to be the prophet of doom, bringing you yet another ‘lecture’ on healthy living…
And I KNOW that you are mentally and physically WAY more accomplished than anyone on the blog.. no matter how little sleep you get
But in my fervent desire that you live until AT LEAST 100 I feel honour bound to refer you - and all sleep deprived members of EF - to the following article from a BBC website.
It doesn’t make cheerful reading.. but… I love you too much to keep silent on matters concerning health and welfare….
SLEEP DEPRIVATION has a similar impact on the body to the ageing process and may increase the severity of age-related chronic disorders such as heart disease and diabetes, researchers have found. And can also increase the risk of obesity.
Scientists have traditionally believed sleep was beneficial only for the brain.
But a team from the US Department of Medicine in Chicago, investigated whether sleep debt can alter metabolic and hormonal functions.
Professor Eve Van Cauter, who led the study, said: “We found that the metabolic and endocrine hormonal changes resulting from a signficant slep debt mimic many of the hallmarks of ageing.
“We suspect that chronic sleep loss may not only hasten the onset, but could also increase the severity of age-related ailments such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity and memory loss.”
The Chicago team tested the effect of different amounts of sleep on 11 young men.
The participants were allowed eight hours per night for the first three nights of the study.
It is thought eight hours is the amount of sleep required for the body to be fully rested.
On the following six nights, the participants were restricted to four hours’ sleep a night.
Finally, they were allowed 12 hours’ sleep a night for the concluding seven nights of the study.
The investigators took measurements during the day of glucose tolerance, cortisol concentrations (a hormone that helps to regulate blood sugar concentrations), heart rate, sleepiness, and the impact on the production of various hormones.
Following the period of sleep deprivation, the researchers found subjects had higher levels of glucose and cortisol in their blood.
They also took up to 40% longer than normal to regulate their blood sugar levels after a high carbohydrate meal.
Sleep deprivation also led to an increase in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which controls many of the body’s “involuntary” functions.
Dr Tom Mackay, a consultant respiratory physician at the Scottish National Sleep Centre at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, said the research showed sleep deprivation provoked a typical stress response in the body, characterised by raised cortisol and glucose levels.
He said persistently high levels of glucose increased the risk of developing diabetes, heart disease and strokes.
But he said: “The difficulty is that nobody really knows what the main risk factors for heart disease and stroke are.
“It may be that sleep deprivation is an important risk factor or just one of a number of different factors.
“This is interesting research, but it would be a big jump to conclude that sleep deprivation is responsible for such chronic diseases.”
Dr Mackay said the amount of sleep people required varied between individuals. The important thing was to feel thoroughly rested after waking up.
In many cases the quality of sleep was more important that the quantity, he said.
Okay, very sorry indeed to be a downer… but knowledge is power.. or so they say…
With love and apologies, Daisy
Thank you Daisy M for the article.. i have noted and shall comply…
the sunglasses has blue, red and yellow trims. yes subtle indeed!
Monish.. pretty good.. bang on.. blue and red trims at the corners and yellow inner trim right around the inside…
hehahahaa me first….I hope so…finally my every half an hour refreshing has paid off..yes yesterday’s post was quite tacky..hehe…just kidding…but I just cldnt read it..it had some strange characters and letters…..nyways hows u doin?? u shld also see the serial LOST…I wrote it somewhere else too…its amazing and very addictive…please post some pics of urs..maybe some singapore pics…take care…lots of luuuuuuuuv
kavs
P.S. can I get a peela line please;))
Kavs.. here is your ‘peela’ line.. LOST i started seeing and then went off it.. to scary.. ok on Singapore pics.. will attempt..
Hi Amitji..
thanx for posting the link,..i’ll surely try it..
Good night,
Jasmine
jasmine.. enjoy
I think being a normal human being is fun. I do not enjoy most of the things now a days because they are easlily accesible and I remember when i was kid and my father used to get a simple chair, the excitement used to stay for like 3-4 months but now its all gone and no excitement anywhere. What I think is that we enjoy MELA as long as our finger is in our father’s hand. I feel like going back to my village sometime and start working in fields which I used to do and hope it gives me more happiness than what I do right now where we have no happiness at all.
The person who says we cannot buy happiness with money it means that he dont know where to shop for happiness. We know where happiness is but we do not want to approach that at all. You might not want to walk on sideaays everyday with a fear of loosing all the image if I am not wrong…it is same with everybody and at every level……
I do not understand why people write you to just get a reply back from you. I do not agree with their approach and why there is a wait for reply…so that they can show their friends the response gotten from you….hmmm…that’s little selfish I guess. later !!
Avtar.. yes simple things in life are more attractive .. especially when you come from simple and humble beginnings, like I did..
I do not worry about image.. if I want to walk on pavement i will do it.
People wait for reply in order to feel connected.. that is not such a bad idea.. that is the main idea of this blog.. to be connected..
good evening shehanshah
if you are still in singapore you may extend your stay by a few days to avoid inconvenience which might be caused by heavy rains in mumbai in next 24 to 48 hours. you may log on to accuweather.com and view the heavy clouds coming from eastern side . the rains might last for a couple of days . the present monsoon rain-clouds have been coming from eastern part of the country rather than the south-west direction as hithertobefore.the pattern of monsoon has changed this season due to weak wind current from the south- west direction. surprisingly this phenomenon has not been noticed and commented upon by the weather department.
with best wishes,
devkishin vyas,mumbai
Devkishin.. thank you for the warning.. still in Singapore.. will check accuweather.com
Oh u have posted some pics..I was just tooo happy to see tht there r no comments and straight away jumped to write the comment without bothering to see the entire blog:))..coool pics….nice shades..u look very handsome in the second pic with the white shirt…muaaaaaaaahhh….
kavs … thank you.. was that a prolonged kiss..??
Dear Amitji, I was waiting, waiting and waiting, hitting the refresh button often to check if your new page was loaded andfinally it is here…went through your article and liked the pics you posted. Now, I can imagine you sitting in front of your Mac with your athletic gear on.
I will take the memory test later on and hope you got my email also.
take care and a big Hi, high-5 to you…
PADAKI
Padaki … thank you..
Dear Sir,
Many thanks for posting those wonderful pictures. At Le Petit Maison you seem to have 2 pairs of sunglasses. One pair on your nose and the other in your hand. Right? The images of the eclipse are…beyond words. Much love.

Thank you for the new wonderful Day with photos… : )
Will return again later and read and write more..
Good night..
God bless and take care.
With much love.
Tatiana S. USA
Tatiana… thank you.. you are a regular and I read all that you say and do, including your little sojourn by the water and the hills..
Oh Man, I am the first one… Let me write this quick so it gets to you first, I am a big Fan, I am a big Fan, I am a BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG FAN, Abhishek Rocked in DELHI 6 he was just awesome. Big fan of yours and Abhisheks films. I remember when Abhisheks movies were not doing too well..I went to the theaters there was a poster of his upcoming movie..there was this lady and her husband admiring the poste of a hrithik starrer and abhisheks..lady goes..lets go watch hrithik’s movie..he is so handsome..blah blah blah..and the guy argued no..lets go watch abhisheks..wife or significant other goes…but why? he looked at her ( and me, I was standing behind them) smiles at us and says “Its a bachchan thing baby” that just says it all..no more words…Its certainly is a Bachchan thing..Love you
God Bless you and Bachchan Family
NOthing But love
Anthony.
Anthony bhai… cute story.. i shall pass on to Abhishek.. love
I hope Amar Sing Jee is doing good now….when you are coming back to Bharat?
take care
Ajay Mishra
Ajay.. he repairs well.. thank you.. indefinite on return
Hello Sir,
Am writing after a long time. Thanx for the great eclipse pics.
Good night.
Sweta .
Sweta.. thank you and welcome …
Amitji, WHAT A TREAT! Love your spontaneity, love your good spirits, your wacky humor, love the pictures, love your signature (thank God it’s back, do miss it when it’s missing)! May you always be happy. Yet to take the memory test, SHALL report after having taken it. Like you, I am watching TV (a rare luxury, to be savored) — B4U Music is playing all your songs, and I’m loving every bit of it. “Pag ghungroo bandh Meera naachi thi..”, a perennial favorite of mine, quintessential Amitabh Bachchan, “Humko tum’se ho gaya hai pyar….”. “Salaam-e-ishq meri jaan….”, “Mere paas aao mere soston…”, “Zindagi mil ke bitayenge” (Satte pe Satta), “Ik roz main tadap kar, is dil ko thaam loonga…”, “Muhabbat bade kaam ki cheez hai….” and right now you are bajaoing the dhol of Kaliram, and I’m loving every second of spending time with you.
Love and regards,
Jasmine Jaywant (I’m excited like a teenager and like some other members of EF to be among the first few to comment today — maybe!)
Jasmine Jayant NJ… yeaaaaahhhh !! thank you
Amitji,
I laugh at the end. That is the way to go.
Nirav.
Nirav … keep laughing.. love
Sarkar - Hoping to be the first one to greet you today. I watched Sharaabhi yesterday. I do not have words to describe your aura of charismatic and fluent dialogues in that movie.
Cheers,
Jeevan
Jeevan … thank you.. it was a film i too enjoyed for the challenges it gave me..
You do seem very awake and now you admit that it is a sugar high. I think I SHALL take the memory test at another time since I know I am very sleep deprived. I will leave work and crash first. After being up 2 days, I don’t think I can be as awake as I want to be. Besides, I can’t really do it at work now.
I enjoyed your long blog today and as usual your sense of humor. Those green pictures were amazing. Maybe it is green cheese. I consider it purely scientific with no other special meanings. I had the pleasure of witnessing a lunar eclipse in the Jordanian desert at about 4AM. I was the only one who watched it. The other lazy folks thought that sleep was more important!
Thanks for the photos. The one at Jalsa a few weeks ago is the background on my home computer. You don’t look like an ‘ol fogie in any of the pictures. Many people half your age act like ‘ol fogies but not you. I love the computer gear. You look so great. With the clothes that Abhishek is wearing, it almost looks like a sepia photo.
Enjoy the SUN TV. I’d like to see more of their films.(Actually I don’t think I’ve seen any.) I hope you don’t get addicted to that sugar to keep you blogging every night. Sweet and sugery dreams.
Love,
Rochelle
Rochelle … thank you my dear .. the guy used a green filter in the camera..’ol fogie, well i shall reserve my comments.. back ground pic, oh honoured.. the sepia on Abhishek is iPhoto, i mentioned it on blog.
The sugar bit was naughty by deliberation.. i am not addicted to it, its a normal diet … do not worry.. i wrote it like I was some junkie sniffing two columns of the ’stuff’ ha ha !! Seen them doing it in the movies..
Dear Mr. B,
Wow, you watched the Eclipse and took Photograps as well.. Thanks..
Will read the Blog patiently soon..
Loads of Love,
NiTiSH

Nitish… you do not read the blog carefully.. i did not take the pics of the eclipse, my staff in New Delhi did.. he actually went to a suburb of Delhi, Gurgaon to take it because it was in a better path for the event and there were no clouds then..
Sorry,
SUGARY dreams. (I’m sleep deprived.)
Rochelle.. whatever.. got it the first time …
Dear Mr B,
No need to apologize! It is great just touching base with you each and every day. What else can we ask for? So please just chill.
And now I am going to take the memory test (haha a la Gajini) with you!
Love, as always
Dee
Dee S.. thank you
Awesome pictures .. all of them even the ‘grahan’ once. Thanx for sharing them. Abhishek looks cool as always .. I mean you too ofcourse. Please respond to this post atleast .. i have never gotten a reply from you ever. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!
Good Nite!!
Meghana … here you go.. enjoy and love
Dear Amitji,
What a nice post. Thanks for sharing the pics. I liked the one where you clicked so many cameras pointing at you. It has come out in a perfect moment.
I was reading the news about Abhishek visting the Jawans in the Kargil region as part of the NDTV “Jay Jawan”(I think) event. The article said Abhi brought Gajar Halwa and Aam Ras prepared by Jayaji and Aish. I thought that was a very nice gesture. Also, they talked about Abhi reading a message written by you for the jawans. I was wondering if you can share that. I would love to hear that. I SHALL appreciate that.
Thanks for everything that you do.
Nirav.. yes Abhishek went up to Kargil to meet the jawans and yes he took stuff for them to eat.. I sent the poem Agnipath of my Father which i hand wrote on a huge board.. Abhishek went by road and stayed with them for 2 days.. arduous journey and tough living conditions …
Guys,
You should watch New York, New York…it’s a super movie with some great direction and acting. After a long time I have seen such a classic movie…but just wondering as to why people are still crazy to shoot in US when India is booming…? Any thoughts?
Amitabh Sharma .. shall see it.. people shoot in places where the story demands it should be shot.. nothing to do with any booming..
Dear Sir,
You forgot to write about your favourite scenes from movies .
Pl do write
Thanks
Brij
Brij.. ok I will.. its still to early especially since I just gave an extensive interview on it on TOTAL RECALL
The sentiments you have expressed about writing to EFs are so heart warming and gratifying. Whenever I enter your blog, I feel a sudden wave of familiarity and the generosity of your spirit and your warmth all around. Your blog is about imprinting your true life impression directly on to the cyber space. Once you are in it…you can’t stop. Its intoxicating!
You have got a real knack for photography and through your lens have captured a frozen image of time itself. In your pic from le Petit Maison, you have got 2 pairs of shades i.e. one you are wearing, the other you are holding in your hand. Have I guessed it right? Wonder how stunning you would look in aviators!!
The solar eclipse of July 22, 2009 was the longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century, lasting as much as 6 minutes and 39 seconds in some place. The next eclipse exceeding seven minutes in duration will not occur until June 25, 2150.
A total solar eclipse happens about once every one and a half years. In any given location on Earth, a total solar eclipse happens only once every 360 years. I pray that you get to witness life’s miracles in many years to come.
Love & prayers
Tehreem.. thank you all the info.. aviators i had in the 70’s, then i threw them all away.. Abhishek blew a fuse, said they were the in things.. will get some back and do some photos.. love to you
Dear Amitji,
How are you. Nice pictures..I still have to read the whole article…more later.
love,
Swathi
Swathi … more later to you too.. and love
I scored 75% and 83% respectively on the memory test.
Monish.. i did 98% and 85%
Hi Amit je,
Whats with the other glasses you are holding ?
They look like shades as well and not your other prescription.
-Adeel Suhrwardy
Adeel.. they are the prescription ones..
Dear Amitji
Though I read every day this is the first time I am writing to you. I have grown up seeing your movies, learnt Hindi to understand your movies better. I come from Biggest Business Centre of Andhra Pradesh called Vijayawada. Presently working in USA (for last 3 years) in California as a Software Consultant, married with two Kids (Madhurima - 5 Years, Rishi - 15 months).
The Grahan Photographs are too good and felt happy. I was eager to watch the photographs from paper and I could see first from the Blog (OUR BLOG).
I have enlarged (double clicked) on your photograph (with black glasses) and its so big that for a while I thought I was talking to you personally.
With Best Regards
Satish
Satish … thank you and may you remain well..
Dear Mr. AB,
Please do not feel embarrassed, it’s all in a day’s work! And I feel the same way about the immediacy of your presence. You probably know very well how we are ‘hovering’ while you type, some even ready to pounce and fill that coveted spot of No.1 comment. And following you along while you give out ‘yellow strips’, well, it doesn’t get any better than that for a dedicated EF!
Thanks for sharing the photos, I hope all you lucky guys in the eclipse’s path had a blast. And the pictures of you and Abhishek are always an eagerly awaited treat!
Ol’ fogie… hmm. I notice the other pair of glasses in your hand, always be prepared…
Other than that I am afraid I have to wait for the many smart and observant EFs to solve the riddle.
Love,
Renate
Renate.. thank you.. the other pair is the prescription ones..
Excellent photography Sir!
Jayesh.. idi the photo of the photographers, thats all.. others were not mine..
Please Dont say that ….sometime it happens…..after all we are your EF.
Love you so much…

Kind regards, Jay
write to the server bigadda.com and they will arrange it .. love
I love it when you are out of India. you are much more relaxed and funny.
I always get excited about space and universe and i do believe that in the universe there must be other earth and in future we will be able to go there.
As in our “puran granths”-Ramayana and Mahabharata–they always talk about people communicating from one planet to other. I want to write so much but can not find proper words or put my thoughts in words here.
I love the last para.
Love you,
Shiv
Shiv.. thank you .. yes you must write
गुरुजी प्रणाम, आज तो बहुत ही मजा आ गया । आप और अभिषेक जी की तस्बीर बहुत शानदार लगी । सूर्यग्रहण की तस्बीरेँ देखकर कर काफी अच्छा लगा । गुरुजी , सूर्यग्रहण भले ही 123 साल बाद लगे और हम उस समय न रहेँ लेकिन आप उस समय भी लोगोँ के दिल और दिमाग मे रहेँगे ।आप के E.F. के सदस्य होने के नाते, ये मेरे लिखे हुए शब्द उस समय तक अस्तित्व मेँ रहेँगेँ । आप जल्दी स्वस्थ हो जाये, प्रणाम
अरविन्द जी …. अनेक अनेक धन्यवाद . मेरी शुभकामनाएं आप के साथ हैं
I believe the saying is ‘back AT the ranch’. Is that a grandchild’s head at the top of your dark glasses?
ya i know.. i just thought i would be different.. but thanks for the correction
Namaste Sir,
Wondering whether I am the first to respond today?…Hope you have a good sleep tonight.
‘You are as well as you want to be !’ — such profound meaning. Thankyou for sharing this with us.
With warm regards,
Ashwini, USA.
Ashwini.. thank you
two “columns” of sugar? did you mean “cubes”
never heard column before. forgive my limited vocabulary!
Monish.. no columns, not cubes.. the sugar packet is shaped like a column packed in paper bags.. i was just being naughty and funny.. like using the word columns, as in snorting columns of cocaine that you often see in the movies when junkies are at it.. ha ha
Assalam u alaikum
Begining se shru kartay hain.
waisay buhat hi zabardast tha bhayee aaj ka blog, Great

Yesterday blog was very horrible in first look but i found the matter in that so that was ok to me. Thanks for your apologies and humbleness towards us. You are so nice.
I will be checking my memory after writing this.
Thanks for the pictures. You are same in real as you look in pictures. Great bhayeeeee
Eclipse are always fascinating and the creation of Allah-beautiful. These happenings shows GOD exists everywhere.

Sam…
Samama… hello everyone and my love…
Yout dark glasses had u into lots of controversies and further more you have worn this in ur film that has never seen the release…directed by ur good friend Ramanathan ji!..ZAMANAAAT..Cost of ur glasses were speculated for Rs 2-7 lakhs!
shankar
the media has no better things to do.. they wrote the price of the glasses at 2 crore.. not lakhs.. really funny
Enjoy TV. Good wishes to Mr. Amar singh.
Eat as your health allows. Take care a lot.
thank you
Whoosh! back! It is sooo good to see you in great spirits, and sounding much more like yourself. We SHALL overcome all obstacles and remain here, together, your EF….
Hope you SHALL soon be in bed, with rest, to continue your good recovery. I hope this means that AS is doing well, also?
I SHALL take the tests and report my results later. I posted to you twice yesterday’s post, a rare occurance for me, the lurking rare-poster.
As to the photo with the sunglasses, my careful examination observed the glasses themselves have turquoise and maybe carnelian (red) stones embedded in either side of the lenses, and a yellow streak underneath the bridge on your nose. I liked the smile under the glasses!
I did not note anything particularly in the reflection off the lenses themselves…
Love always,
Elaine, on her own Mac (Microsoft free)
elaine .. correct and good observation.. love
Thanks for the Grahan photos..Khadi stripes on the shirt make you look like a Neta..hahaa..:) Ofcourse its worth reading the blog..You are as well as you want to be..Fantastic statement..How well do you want to be..the sky is the limit.and how do you want to define the limits they can be boundless…as they say communication is who says to whom how with what affect….
Tej.. gracious
No need to appologies at all…no need to be embarressed or frustrated and as you just had said.. may be it wasn’t meant to be out to the EF..
Our sweet little society… !!! you may not believe that… but it did bring tears to my eyes.. tears of ultimate joyce… thank you so much .. you are the sweetest angel ever..
Believe me in what i am going to say.. i don’t use word too for the same reason.. I feel when I am typing in the comment square that you are sitting there in front and listen .. to my nonesense.. yea.. i am that one who sympathizes with each thought that comes out involuntarily from you. That joins you in laughter and mirth. That holds your hand as I reach out. That comforts your forehead and tells you - ‘get to bed you my angel.. although i never have had enough yet .. but you need some rest and sleep.. !
Concerning the memory test.. ehm.. well.. i didn’t try it.. as i know well how does my brain function.. i don’t need a test to tell me how fool i am.. or warn me about the serious weakness of my memory.. !
About the photos.. Abhi does look so handsome in this photo.. god bless.. i am glad about the charity thing for the workers and their families.. i hope taht no one comes and say that IIFA is just another event..
And the marvelous photos of the most charming person on the planet.. how can i recognise the sun glasses while i am looking at the sweetest smile that shines on your face..??
The second one is so nice too.. lovely.. the one in Jalsa i do remember it, because it is on my mobile ,together with the cheek - to - cheek waltz dance with dear Shanouk
Thank you for sharing the moon photos.. the brilliant thoughts about space and natural phenomena.. that is very impressive… loved what you had written about the Tamil naduchoreography.. would love to see these dances and hear these songs.. and the brilliant strong statement I SHALL BE AS WELL AS I WANT TO BE.. marvellous..
I love the closing sentence.. you with love … and Marigold low fat yoghurt natural, with two columns of sugar !! to keep you HYPER.. oh dear.. you are so sweet … just cute and beautiful.. god bless you.. lots of love.
RH.. thank you love
Nice pictures! You are a good photographer indeed.
When do you start writing your autobiography?
sandeep.. thank you.. i am not worthy of writing one
Hello Amitji, Nice to know you’re keeping well. Directly talking to us is at best, please keep following you heart and do what it says.

OK, now to your photos: I absolutely love you in the white kurta/shirt. it is gorgeous - so simple and elegant. My compliment.
Re the Afternoon/evening/midnight whatever: let’s just sing togethwe ‘We SHALL overcome (sur main gaaye), we SHALL overcome, we SHALL overcome, some day…..
Love

DEE S.. hey i had forgotten that one.. thank you …more substance for me to respond them with
Dear Mr Bachchan
I PROMISED myself I wasn’t going to comment again.. but looking at the photos at even greater length…
the one taken at Jalsa…. with that look on your face, believe me Shanouk is not the only affectionate one “wishing to express their extreme love for you with an embrace..”
With all my love, Daisy
Daisy M… i am honoured !!

u r kind hearted that u care for common people……..
thank you Rini
HEY
HIIII SIR THE MEMORY TEST WAS AMAZING I SCORED 91% COOL NA NIWAYS LUV U……..
ya cool..well done
Amitji, forgot to add that the poignancy of your encounter with the old man in the wheelchair was so moving. That one line of his contained a lifetime of wisdom, and you caught it.
Reminded me of another well-known line: Whether you think you can or you think you cannot, you are absolutely right.
It’s all within us.
Also, your musings on our insignificance in the cosmos put the pettiness of our problems and quibbles in the right perspective. We must keep asking ourselves this all the time –in the larger scheme of things, does it really matter?
I think it is wonderful that you acknowledge the comment writers on your blog by name, don’t know why anyone should have a problem with that. But do respect the reason you’ve given for not doing so. Whatever you think best.
The pictures of the sooryagrahan are wonderful, thanks for sharing. I walked in the door yesterday and my husband called out excitedly, “Come quick, you’ve come at the exact moment.” Not having a clue what he was talking about, I walked into the family room to see the eclipse (on TV) at the precise moment that it was full (in Varanasi, my nanihal). Both of us were utterly fascinated. Thumpa Ghosh, too bad the clouds were there at the wrong place at the wrong time and you and your son could not see this marvel firsthand.
In the photographs you’ve shared, both father and son look magnificiently handsome in their own way. Would’ve loved to see pictures of Navya Naveli and Agastya, next time please dive under the table after them.
In your dark glasses, I see an image of the picture taker. Was it one of the grandchildren?
And yes, you are stubborn. But we love your stubbornness! Totally understand your reason for not writing in Word and saving etc. You don’t want anything coming in between you and your EF. “Main aur mera EF, aksar yeh batein karte hain….”
Boy, are you in a shararati mood today.
Love and regards, and much happiness, always,
Jasmine Jaywant
Jasmine, NJ.. thank you.. good quote.. kids pics will be a problem.. security..no the photograph was not taken by grchild..
Which sunglass? the one you are wearing or the one you have on your hand
NoChaos.. the one in the hand is prescription
i’m sasikumar from chennai great 2 hear that u watch tamil channels and praise our work.
i’m always thinking great about u how u r always keep updating ur blog without missing a day at this age and in ur busy times 2 great sir please take care of ur health sir.
Sasikumar… glad to hear from you .. yes i like those channels
one thing i wanna say is that a person needs a strong heart to write a blog actually..because all u write is right from your heart ….
for a person to write blog he should have pure heart and pure mind,
a fake person is not loved at all//
the people can guesss the benefit of that person..
but in case of u pure devotion and love oozes out from ur blog…
u want people to be conneted straight towards ur heart…
u are a great person in reality…..
u are a real life hero…
and model of us…..
i really take ur inspiration whenever i am in hard times…..
WHAT IS THIS “YELLOW LINE” I AM EAGERLY WAITING FOR IT …IF U WILL GIVE ME INDIVIDUAL RESPONSE SIR..ITS AMAZING…..
I THOUGHT THAT I WILL HAVE TO DIE WITHOUT UR CONTACT ,WITHOUT UR LIVE WATCH…..LETS SEE IF MY DESTINY DISPROOVES IT ,AND I WILL HAVE SOME GOOD TIME….
EAGERLY WAITING YELLOW LINE?”"
Rini .. you have it.. and thank you for heart
hello sir

Sir,
I am finally leaving a message on your blog. Usually when I check your blog, there are about 200 messages already posted. I feel that if I leave a message you won’t read it anyways! Do you really read all the messages left at the end of each post? I feel that you probably read the first 100 and respond to them once in a while. I want to write only if I know that at least in a while, even if my meesage is #250, it will be read! Can you promise your EF that?
Regards,
Jaya
PS. I think you write beautifully. Please don’t ever stop writing!
Hello Kaka,
Nice snaps; I loved them all.
Good night , Sleep tight, Don’t let the “Machchar” bite ;))
Luv,
Priti A
Respected Amitabh Bachchan,
I reckon those are the same glasses that you had in Agneepath! Please let me know.
Wishing you luck always.
Best regards,
Bhushan Pradhan
i see what i think is a view of the window with some plants at the top of your shades. is that right?????
My Score was : 83%
Salaam Amit Uncle,
What great pics…I like the pic from your recent trip to London…cool shades…I like the red and blue tips…dashing!!
The pic with all the paparazzi…they look like a group of googly eyes…no faces, just EYES.
I tried zooming in on your shades in the London pic to see if I could see in the reflection…but, alas…no. I saw a fern though, but not who was taking the picture or who the knights were at the “King’s” round table
Here in Canada, we’ve have solar eclipses; however, when they arrive, it’s always cloudy, so we never experience the whole “getting dark like the night.”
Sleep well Amit Uncle…will do the test when I get home.
Love always

Dearest Amithji Sada Parnam,
Have just put my 2 boys to bed, so grabbed the chance to respond quickly before picking Nitika from work. Thanks for the memory test, Gosh surprised myself, actually got 95% WOW well shocked!!! thanks for the titillation.. very interesting cheers…
Oh thanks alot for the pics, always a fantastic surprise, shame didn’t get to see the grand children.. little cuties…. Yes regarding your sexy shades…very subtle indeed…but what’s with the other pair in your hand ?? surely not packed the reading ones in a restaurant ??? a disguised look ?? lol… Actually looks like you are seated in the kitchen !!! hahahaha….
Mind you, as much as you look fit in that sports gear…Do we really drain so much energy out of you??? Here’s an idea…throw away that Pedometer… who needs to burn calories.. when the grey matter is racing ahead???
Yes what an amazing moment Solar Eclipse… Superb pics from your staff, thank you for sharing… heard on Indian News Channel that after every 105 years seen in India ?? Much faster than anywhere else in the world…. Absolutely astonishing…
So sweet n considerate of you to acknowledge your EF, yes like I said before it’s a partnership, it simply can not work without each other…Like you our commitment n loyalty lies in our responses… no matter how silly, sharp, funny, stupid.. or simply amazing they may be…We are here all together as one big loving family!!!!!!!!!
Your wicked sarcasm n sense of humour never ceases to amaze me.. at times you can be such a witty soul….
Lov the ‘low fat natural yogurt’ and then the ‘2 columns of SUGAR’ LOL….
Still wide awake at that Godly hour.. What no more ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ ? all exhausted out ??
Truly deep n wise statements, made by the elderly always hit home… Bless Him
Lagta Hanumanji bhi naraz hai, aur hamare Amithji bhi Please aab toh batado Bajrang bali ke Chalisa ka kiya Haal Hai aab tak ?????
Today, I had absolutely no intentions of going out shopping, but somehow I ended up 4 hours in the shopping precinct… I had no intentions of spending any money on unrequired items… I ended up spending loads in the Sales.. in fact almost every shop of interest that I popped into was a Sale shop… I’m not one for rushing to the sales or queuing for hours… but how on earth I ended up buying bags n bags of shopping Heaven knows… In fact what did I actually buy ???
Most definitely not, no not my usual self today… just a sense of having a spending spree for no reason what so ever… But I only spend what I have, none of this debt nonsense NO NO NO…
Okay time to pick Nitika up from work, and then back in the kitchen.. as the big handle passes 12… 10.00pm has just struck..
Well I do hope that you do get some sleep at least…Hope AS will be out of hospital soon!!!
Hey still got that fit sports gear on??? wrist band ??? what about a head band ??
Where’s the dog collar ??? hope you no longer require this and that all is well now!!!
Aachaji… Aab hum chalte Hai ….
I SHALL resume back again tomorrow… and SHALL pay my respects to your post.. and SHALL await with great anticipation…
My lov as always

Fan from Toronto
Dearest Amitabh Sir,
I loved the photographs but more so the comments that you’ve added beneath them. i am really scared to add a reply to your blog. Love you a lot. Took that memory test. was real fun.
Tahe care & god bless
Really nice Mr.B keep going
Hello there, my dear Mr. Bachchan, Sir! Don’t even worry about the little mishap with yesterdays blog.. it came through on another site and I was able to read it and love it. Ok, must say a BIG thank you for the photos in todays blog - whew! I really like the up close one of you, in the black rimmed glasses, you know, the one where you were looking straight at ME~ SMOKIN’ HOT!!!!!
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm… Can’t really think about anything else right now…
gonna go back and let you look at me some more :p XXXXX OOOOO Valorie

Dear Sir,
First and foremost, saw your beautiful, delightful, wonderful, cheerful big SMILE on your lovely face.
Oh My God, Sir, had to zoooooom in to see the glass photograph from nearer and closer.
It’s red on one side of the frame and sky blue on the other with yellow in between.
With much difficulty twisted the monitor upside down to look; looks like there is one syringe kept in one white tray, but now the question, you said you are in London restaurant - le Petit Maison; then how come syringe in a restaurant it should be a hospital. Thought, looks like a bed in a hospital since one side of the bed is little high like in hospitals to rest the patients.
Sirji, also, it looks like one aeroplane is standing far of distance.
Lastly, looks like one dining table covered with one while cloth.
Will surely take the tests tomorrow since it’s too late for the day Sir.
Hope and pray all is well with Mr.Amar Singhji and you are in the best of your health.
Warm regards,
Kabeer
Good Evening Amitji,
Glad to see normal service is resumed.
Like the photos of you and Abhishek and the eclipse. Not sure if I noticed anything about the dark glasses. I will try the test now.
Take Care
NB
Dear Amit ji,
Today’s blog was fun to read…Let me start with a suggestion. I understand your feelings about writing to us directly rather than putting it up on Word. You can try this…
(1) Type in the blog directly
(2) Before hitting submit, copy/paste all the material in to Word thereby creating a backup
(3) Now hit submit button
(4) If the submit fails for whatever reason, you have the Word doc with all the info saved from step 2.
I think this approach would save our idol from distress at loosing all the stuff and also maintain the direct communication approach.
Now on to other things…memory test was good,,,only wish my results were closer to yours. Wonder if taking the test while being in Singapore in a slightly relaxed state gave you a better result !!?!!
The photos look great. The one with the dark glasses seem too powerful and strong for you. In general I think you need to pick some more trendy glasses which reflect the youthful person that you are :). And the one photo where your camera captures all the cameras…that’s quite a Kodak moment
The snaps of the surya-grahan look good. I am guessing that the green color is perhaps due to the special glasses used for masking the sun, by the cameraman to capture the images. I liked your description of you stated us as a small speck in the God’s world,,reminded me of my spiritual guru’s discourses.
And the quote: “You are as well as you want to be !” is a very powerful and practical one. Glad to see you have some much energy and be awake and write to us. Hope you enjoyed the Sun TV and all its songs, and hopefully you don’t get into watching any of the Tamil serials…lol
Hopefully I am in the top 100 today…I am still waiting for the day when I see a yellow line below my name.
With love,
Krishna
Dear Amithji,
I am here again Sir with my Face Memory test result. I thought I was not getting enough sleep(even after 7hrs of sleep!) and my mind has really lost but surprised to see the results! I got Recognition score 100% and
Temporal memory score 100%. I can not believe it and neither will you..here it is..
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sleep/tmt/results.shtml
All of your photos are cute. You look like an Astronaut in that track suit. I really appreciate your dedication to write article every day with different and interesting topics. I enjoyed reading your blog.
love,
Swathi
Dearest AB ji,
You are up late, fresh & hyper. Hope you remain rested & fresh at dawn. Hope your health remain good. Please take care.
What you expressed on writing straight on the blog instead of on Word makes much sense, it does feels like real time conversation and closeness.
It is Gods grace and blessing to inhabit in this universe and I am glad to have folks who care and love , you for sure is on the top of the list. We haven’t met, but so many of us know you and you will just know that so many of us (unknown) love & respect you and you have the same feelings for all your EF’s.
Loads of love & respect,
Susheela - TN USA
Thanks for all the pictures of handsome you and handsome son.
Thanks to your staff for the Grahan pictures although green it well photographed.
I’m yet to try out the test. You have scored well, wonderful.
The strong statement of the day “I shall be as well as I want to be” is woth reflecting upon. You are a very kind soul, so loved & respected.
Photograph at le Petit Maison - Little girl jumping up and down on the chair..wishing she was outside playing..?
Hello AB
You wrote: “We live today in an advanced scientific age and have the ability to perhaps take in all this in better spirit, but then, in the 1700’s or worse in the 1400’s and the 1100’s… Goodness .. they must have thought the world was coming to an end !”
I was thrilled to read those words. You may not realise why. Actually, the thought behind your words is so moving to anybody who gets to that thought starts imagining further. You would start wondering what would have happened if you and your people did not know about eclipses. And if you were the great sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov, this thought would make you write what is called the best sci fi short story ever - “Nightfall”. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightfall_(Asimov_short_story).
That line in your blog was tremendous. Why don’t you start writing immediately? I have seen glimpses of a great short story maker in you and reckon that if you out your mind to it you can put up a few pretty nice short stories…or…at least an autobiography along the lines of this blog. Espeially if the ending of this post is anything to go by: http://bigb.bigadda.com/?p=472

Thanks for the grahan pictures, i didn’t get to see it as it was not visible here (UK)
Don’t worry about the yesterday’ errors in presentation..happens sometimes. I didn’t mind it at all. And i totally agree with you about your not using the MS Word and directly posting on the blog. Makes me feel closer to you and in conversation with you
Love u loads
Vinita
Dear AB
Shall taek the test and tell u my scores
love
Dear AB
Forgot to tell you…in the black glasses i did notice that the both the sides have different colour, blue on the right side and red on the left side…i guess they are designer glasses hence this difference.
i think i might be right …:-)

Vinita
You are as well as you want to be! I like that. What a brave and wise men he was. May he recover well.
You really are coming across as fresh and as alert even at such a late hour…and definitely not an ‘ol fogie’. I bet you can give a run for their money to the yongsters. Where and how do you get the energy from? I assume the sugar is to add taste to the natural yogurt. Surely this is not the reason for being hyper…or is it? Perhaps the outfit to sit down to type your blog has done the trick.
You post today has lots of interesting tit bits to enjoy including the photographs. What a treat. Thanks for this!
I worked hard in the garden today as we did not have rain today for a change. Am tired so will take the memory test later and comment more then.
Keep well!
Regards
Rajesh
Dearest Amitji,

About your dark glasses….I think I see the light box in your dark Glasses that`s used in photography? Am I right????? Either that or it`s the ceiling with the skylight in them?
Oh Please tell me I`m right….
Can`t wait any longer now..
Love
Me! again…
Oh Sorry! but did I mention you look so cool in them…..Loved the one with the big smile and looking into the camera. Would love to keep them all and make a collage of it.Alright now seriously need to get back to the test now.LOL
Love
Rani Kothari….again….
Hello Amitji
Hope doing good . Sir i am writing for first time in your blog ,i dont know u will read this or n’t but i felt to write about my self to you . as ever other one in this world tell you that they are big fan of your i will be also stating the same thing .

i don’t know what is fan @that age but many heroes have come i heard people changed with there taste but i did n’t . you may thinking what new in this but for me it very great thing .
i want to share some thing with u when i was small gril of 4or may 5 i still rememeber my sister who was fan of ur@that time (me and my sister are 9 yrs apart )she was collecting all your picture and pasting in her zoology record kind of book ( now i know it is called Scarp book today ) where ever we see your picture we used to cut and paste it.That is how i became your fan i think so .
we used have a room up stairs where we used to keep all junk stuff there. i placed your pic on table, i think it was paper cut out of dostana or naseeb i used to do pooja for ur pic put agrabatti and i used come and cry in front of your picture and telling some complaints what my sister or brother did to me ……is it not funny ..

Any ways i just want to share this thing with u . i live in US now married with 2 beautiful children, we all came to see you in Torento for the show it was my husband gift for your show . i felt very happy to see u there. i really felt the way u told Dewar movie dialogues MA…..

Indore …………… July 22/23, 2009 …………….. 0300 hours
Most respected Sir,
thanks for sharing the pics; Jr B looks the part and you look fantastic, as ever.
The pic in le petit maison is fab, and yr white linen shirt is so kool with the silver inserts ! Don’t hv good oservational power, so don’t know about the dark glasses, except that they are damn chic. just saw the yellow-coloured part on nose and the stylish red on the side-sticks, Prada-esque !
We, in Indore, were on the belt that would have observed the ‘Grahan’, but it was cloudy, was raining, and thus, no sun. And thankfully so because this part of the country has been deficient in rains since last two years and if it doesn’t rain well this year, there would be a severe drought-like situation, or even worse. Keeping all fingers crossed, and whatever !
The statement by the gent was indeed very strong, great. Thanks.
Noticed a very nice quote in the office today, which you may have read earlier, but just in case you haven’t………
“TREES ARE POEMS THAT THE EARTH WRITES UP ON THE SKY. WE FELL THEM DOWN AND TURN THEM INTO THE PAPER ON WHICH WE MAY RECORD OUR EMPTINESS”
Hope you are as well as you want to be !
We shall meet again tomorrow, till then,
take care,
Shubh Raatri,
Ankit
Dear AB
Took the test and my score was 100% for recognition and 75% for temporary memory, not bad i guess…
This test was fun thanks for sharing !
love
“Old Fogie” yeah right!! You as young as you want to be!! So where SHALL I start…hmmm.. lovely pictures. Are you holding another sun-glass in hands…I am not too observant by nature so I have to wait and see what others notice…
I just squized up to read a few EF posts…looks the the “shall” phrase is catching one…I do actually use quite a bit of shall too…so honestly, I don’t what the fuss was about.
Dear Amit ji,
As far as I know, this type of eclipse will again be seen in 2031. So 22 years from now, not 300 years as mentioned in the blog. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Cheers
Dearest Amitji.. my angel.. It is not necessary to be upset from yesterday’s mail.. It happens..my dearest.. That is lost and do not worry more about it.. It is difficult to restore those initial emotions and let it does not confuse you, my dear.. Means really to it has not been intended to leave in a blog. On the future simply keep written that it was possible to repeat sending in case of failure..
When I read your mail, I feel your presence.. So really you seem nearby.. your emotions.. your laughter.. your eyes and a voice.. your stretched hand.. All is notable.. and it is improbable, dearest!
Concerning the test for memory.. At me of 78 %, Amitji.. I would not tell that a good result.. Means to me it is necessary to think of a sufficient sleep))
Magnificent photos.. I so love them! Handsome Abhishek, elegant and fine!.. Your photo, Amitji.. You very much accept your dark glasses. They look very elegantly and gracefully.. At you magnificent and a delicate taste, my dear!
Further a photo.. You in the room.. The ‘ tracks ’ and the ‘ wrists’.. Your smile.. Your wonderful eyes..
Photo from a blog.. I very much love it.. It costs at me in a mobile phone as a background.. my precious.)
And last photo.. Journalists-photographers-paparazzi.. Rather interesting kind.. Happy smiling faces.. And the cameras directed on you. Amitji.! Considerably that they are flattered by your attention. Mass-media are simply happy!))
Separate thanks for a photo with an eclipse. It simply magic and beautiful.. The bewitching show! Inexpressibly!
The gentleman from Australia is absolutely right. Having told to you ‘ You are as well as you want to be! ’. Will be, my precious! You will be vigorous and new, Bless you God! Have a rest, dear.. Gain strength.. Space, God and our prayers let will help you! With warmth, care and sincere warm love to you.. My gentle embraces.. Yours devoted Lyudmila..
with all due respect What are u on bout Mr B??? south indian film songs are so so bad. so ludicrous looking, so silly with their dances and their storylines. the actors dont look half as sexy or modern compared to the hindi film industry. Nothing attracts me to their films, i dont know what u find nice. hindi film industry has only teaching to give down south, i believe
Dearest Amit ji,
There is nothing to be embarrased, to er is human.. chill…
Yes did notice the dark glasses.. Apart from the Blue and Red corners and the yellow linning under the nose… the image reflected is the same in both the frames… thats what i have observed…
Good to hear good yellow lines would be back… Long awaited !!!
U look fab in all the pics.. thanks
Cherio

Hi Amit
How are you?nice blog today and good to see some photo of you.
How is Amar doing?hope well .
Saw the news about your home and office flooded recently hope everything is back to normal.
Well sir take care until.Shane
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
So I’m writing this for a second time…& dont think will be able to say everything as I had before losing it all! Bad bad server…arrghh
Anyway so had gone to bed and there was no blog from u & then couldn’t sleep and here you are with over a 100 comments!!!And too sleepy to take that test now, tomorrow looks pretty good for it!!:):)
Love & Sugary Wishes,
Mussu
PS: Loved ALL the pics!
hi…lots of luv n respect….beautiful pics….thanx 4 sharing vid ur EF……u rock…..thanx 4 the eclipse pics 2…..u look supercool in every pic….god bless u always
Dear Sir, Lovely pictures. I don’t know if I should be doing the test. I know, for sure that I would not score a lot as I am tired and no matter what the kind gentleman said I SHALL go to bed as I want to!!!!
The restaurant you are sitting has lemons in a basket, another one has tomatoes ( I think ). The guy behind you is kind of dodging the camera. Lots of bottles of olive oil lined up behind. And it looks like you are the only people in the restaurant, unless, people are sitting opposite you.
Anyway, I have another late night shift tomorrow as I am covering for my colleague, who is having a nice break from work. It was frantically busy, but I enjoy my work a lot. As soon as I’m home I tend to chill out and that makes me tired.
Will try the test and let you know. Pranams to you, your family and all EF.
Dear Amitabh-ji,
You got me into trouble today !
Got caught by my spouse reading your blog first thing after coming back from work while Sumi was going on and on about her sister’s all important upcoming wedding preparations. “again with Amitabh, are you?”, she said.
My friend Bikki from California (originally from Amritsar) is a new reader of your blog - when we visited him last weekend, he was introduced to the blog.
Life jumped out of the blog today. There is such sweet depth of human touch in every word you write. Gifted are you as a writer. Loved are you as a human.
Delighted are we as readers and participants in the EF.
Coolers rock. Convex shaped. Power lenses perhaps ?
cheers from NY

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
First, Thank you for pictures ! Gorgeous ! Superb! ( I think you are tired of all my compliments, but I can’t stop ! Sorry !)
Second, I did the test, 98% for recognize and 96% to recognize in which part !
I did good, I was impressed myself ! Ha! Ha!
Third, I agree with you not writing in other program and save. I do the same way, write direct here and after I submit I see all the mistake ! But is my original comment and the mistakes are my “trademark” !
Now, for your picture in restaurant I notice your sunglasses wit red, blue and yellow ! You have always the perfect glasses ! I like them ! I find for myself a pair of sunglasses -Dolce & Gabbana- red, blue , white !
I notice something more, your unbutton shirt ! Your neck still the one you remember few blogs ago !
All my admiration ,
e.t.
Dear Amitji,
You are a 67 ol’ fogie.. who doesn’t listen to your own… (EF).. eating yoghurt 2AM in the morning, watching “enna rascala”… and use a dodgy connection and risk the day’s worth of wonderful memories… you don’t have a clue… what we have to go through…
with the morning coffee on hand… after 20 hours of wait.. when we open the blog and see the unformatted half finished.. article… !!!
yes, we will still continue to read the blog .. “you Afternoon @#$#@$”….
another 20 hrs to go..
SaiRam.
Oh! I thought I would score poor,but in fact memory of faces is my strong point!!!
My Recognition score was 100% and Temporal memory score was 87! I have surprised myself.
That brings me to another subject. I have been offered to do a further course at work. An accredited technician’s course. Not an easy thing, when you have got to work,come home, be a housewife, a mother, a daughter-in-law and then at least score 80-90% in the course. I have to decide myself whether I will be able to cope or not. And I thought you CAN if you WANT to. So I am going to take the challenge and go for it. So please wish me luck, I desperately need it.
Thank you. Pranams to you, your family and all EF.
Oh! Thoroughly enjoyed doing the test. Thank you for letting us know about it. It was great Fun.Pranams
Hello again, dearest everpatient Mr. AB,
As to your musings about the effects of eclipses on people during less scientifically oriented eras, I found the following; it may explain why the Euro had to wait more than 1100 years for its introduction:
“These kinds of ominous events have played important parts in human history. When English poet John Milton, in Paradise Lost, wrote these lines
As when the Sun, new risen,
Looks through the horizontal misty air,
Shorn of his beams, or from behind the Moon,
In dim eclipse, disastrous twilight sheds
On half the nations and with fear of change
Perplexes monarchs
he may have been thinking of Charlemagne’s son, Emperor Louis. This European ruler was so “perplexed” by the five minutes of totality he witnessed during the eclipse of May 5, 840, that he died (some say of fright) shortly thereafter. The fighting for his throne ended three years later with the historic Treaty of Verdun, which divided Europe into the three major areas we know today as France, Germany, and Italy.”
Love, as always and ever,
Renate
Dearest Amitji,
To tell you the truth, I didn’t notice anything about the sunglasses at all. What caught my attention was your shirt, which I think is really very beautiful.
And now I’m going over to the test.
All the best, as always,
Cátia, from Brazil
Dear Amitabh Uncleji,
Hello - thank you so much for the great pictures that you have posted of yourself in London, Singapore and Jalsa ! I enjoyed reading your articles and watching the rare pictures of the solar eclipse that you sent.
As regarding your dark glasses, I can see some white reflection of the image in front of you perhaps…
I shall, yes also write “shall”… and we all should write “shall” definitely have a go at your test, as I do not have broadband at the moment, and I am planning to open it via broadband asap.
Thank you ever so much for all the enjoyable texts that you write and have a lovely time in Singapore !
By the way, hope the “grahan” period was fine for you. I must confess that unfortunately it wasn’t for me as first of all I sprained my foot as I missed a step in the dark while going down the staircase, then I lost my purse containing money and now I am down with fever…
Well, that’s life and the superstitions of an eclipse unfolds for me…
My love and respect for you as ever,
Sincerely,
Sandhya
Dear Amitabhji,
NIce interesting and informative post today.
photographs are bonus. i like the ONE with beautifull white shirt which is having zari lining on the front.
abhishek looks elegent in his suit.
with lots of love,

Namaskaram Amit ji,
I hope you are well?
I hope you had good quality sleep for few hours.
A question time for you:
In fact, I am asking ‘A’ question after a very long time and this is ‘A’ very genuine question. Not to forget, this so called question is not from some tiny weenie Tabloid or afternoon geek squad. It is from your EF, dear Sir.
The question is:
When you sleep, do you sleep like a child?
As Daisy M specified, that it is quality sleep what matters and the important thing was to feel thoroughly rested after waking up. And I simply agree with her. While applying this principle to myself in quest of satisfactory quality sleep, I find long walk, light food (btw no sugary items) NO TV before bed time, little bit of Pranayams and meditation help me a lot. But Sir, Aap too bilkul Ulte hai and still the best………..I guess , you are trying to make the best of each moment, each day and have no intentions of wasting them in sleeping.
And boy oh boy!! I love afternoon nap once in a while. It simply revitalizes my energy level enormously.
Today’s post sounds very interactive, pure and straight from your heart. Thank you very much. It is so nice to feel the direct connection without any manipulation. You speak to us directly, in fact speak to us who are in thousands out here but make us feel that you speak to each & every individual directly.
Thanks for your overwhelming love.
Will definitely participate in test as desired and come back to you in few hours once I reach back home from work. Just trying to avoid using my office PC for excessive personal use.
I SHALL pay best regards for now and see you shortly again……..Vipin

Dearest Amit ji
Just a quick skim through your blog, detailed reading booked for later. Just wanted to say “a million thanks for the wonderful photos”. Yessss this is what I just love, personal photography in your own natural environment. Thank you, thank you and thank you. I love your white shirt of yours, looks very trendy! The multiple photography one is amusing. I wonder what they thought ha ha. You look very relaxed in your track suit and I’m happy to see that wrist band. Feel satisfied now seeing you taking precautions with keyboarding thus preventing RSI.
I also wondered why thos eclipse photos are green, they should be orangie/red instead. However looks very pretty.
Rest later. Enjoy your day.
Lots of love
Divya
Amitji,
Sorry for the delay in response, it was our 6th wedding anniversary today..so been so busy with things, my wife also took her exam for the ‘Life in UK’ test..which she managed to pass, which has made us really happy.
I did realise that your message didnt come out the way you must have wanted it to, plus the link to the memory quiz was missing..Managed to take it now..
this was my result:
Recognition score
( if you saw it )
Your score: 100%
Average score: 92%
This is a measure of your ability to remember the photos you’ve seen, regardless of the part in which you saw them. From all 24 photos shown in Parts 1 & 2, you recognised: 24 photo(s).
Temporal memory score
( when you saw it )
Your score: 79%
I guess we do tend to recognise if we havent seen pictures before, but very difficult to see what order they came in..
the pics are lovely thanks for sharing, in the pics with the shade, were the kids appearing from under the table??? also noticed you had your proper specs in your hand..
Loved the eclipse pics, wish I was in India to witness it..must have been awesome..
Wishing Amar Singh a speedy recovery…how is work with the Pedo meter goin?? how many more steps did you manage???
Sleep well
All the best always

I am home now and the song ‘Total Eclipse’ has been in my head the whole trip here. This one is a grim interpretation:
Artist: Klaus Nomi
Song: Total Eclipse
Big shots argue about what they’ve got
making the planet so hot, hot as a holocaust.
Blow up, everything’s gonna go up
even if you don’t show up in your Chemise Lacoste.
Total eclipse, it’s a total eclipse,
it’s a total eclipse of the sun.
Can’t come to grips with the total eclipse
Just a slip of the lips and you’re done.
Fall out, nobody left to crawl out
If someone calls, we’re all out, turning in to French fries
Last dance, let the entire cast dance, do the dismembered blast dance
as we get atomized!
About Klaus Nomi:
Klaus Sperber (January 24, 1944 - August 6, 1983), better known as Klaus Nomi, was a German countertenor noted for his wide vocal range and an unusual, otherworldly stage persona.
Nomi was known for his bizarrely theatrical live performances, heavy make-up, unusual costumes, and a highly stylized signature hairdo which flaunted a receding hairline. His songs were equally unusual, ranging from synthesizer-laden interpretations of classical music opera to covers of 1960s pop standards like Chubby Checker’s “The Twist” and Lou Christie’s “Lightnin’ Strikes”. He is perhaps best remembered by the general public as being one of David Bowie’s backing singers during a 1979 performance on Saturday Night Live.
Nomi was one of the first celebrities to contract AIDS. He died in 1983 at the age of 39 as a result of complications from the disease.
I’ll add that he was a big part of the East Village music scene and there is an excellent documentary about him called ‘Nomi Song’. He was so unique. His early death was a tragedy.
Here are a couple of links to different versions of him singing ‘Total Eclipse’:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehPm02c6q00
( a 1981 rehearsal for French TV)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsqsQVzqiis
Yes, that is his real voice! His other videos on Youtube are worth checking out also.
And yes, after enlarging that photo, which I hadn’t realized I could do, I know that the reflection is definitely not a grandchild.
Goodnight.
Love,
Rochelle
Hey Big B,
Nice shirt !! Thanks for sharing the pics.
Just one question, doesn’t “grahan” lunar eclipse happens every year to the moon ???? I am sure it happens every year and pregnant women are told not to
cut anything during that time…………..
Tooh mooskurah jahaan bhi hai tuh muskurah……….
Lots of Love……..Jenny
Hello Mr. Bachchan!
It’s been awhile that I’ve commented on your blog. I was away on a work trip two weeks ago and have been steadily catching up on missed work all this while. I’ve just gone through all your blog entries only to find that you are in SINGAPORE!! My birthplace, where I’ve spent half my life (the other half in my adopted country Canada) and where I will be returning for a family event next month. Is it too much to hope that you will still be there in a month’s time? Oh well, I can always dream!
I hope you are enjoying your stay there, although it is not really a trip for pleasure. I hear that the weather is really hot right now, just be sure to drink plenty of water, and use SUNSCREEN - very important! Please do put some photos if you can.
Lots of love,
Harmeet

Amit ji,
HELLO, HOW ARE YOU, THANK YOU FOR POSTING THE PHOTOS, YOU LOOK TOO HANDSOME!!!!!!!!!!!
I HAVE JUST TAKEN THE MEMORY TEST AND SCORED 95% & 86%, NOTOO BAD CONSIDERING IT’S AFTER MIDNIGHT IN UK, I ALSO DID NOT BOTHER TO TAKE THE 5 MIN BREAKS, I JUST WANTED TO GET ON WITH IT. WHAT WAS YOUR SCORE, YOU HAVE NOT TOLD US?
THE OLD GENTLEMAN YOU MET AT THE HOSPITAL SAID SOME PROFOUND WORDS. HE IS THINKING POSITIVELY EVEN THOUGH HE IS ILL WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT.
HOPE YOU ALWAYS STAY FRESH & ALERT BUT TOO MUCH SUGAR IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU.
SLEEP WELL
LOTS OF LOVE (as always)
YOUR NO.1 FAN FROM UK
Hello My Dearest Mr. Bachchan,
You know something…you are a very sweet person. Yes, that’s the first thing I felt I wanna say while reading your beautiful post today.
there isn’t any need for apologies and you don’t have to be embarrassed because of last night’s post. Yes it was weird in shape, but interesting in content and I did enjoy reading it.
Well Mr.B, I ‘Shall’ not make that suggestion again of you using WORD for writing your DAY before publishing it on the blog. I was wondering why you feel it is impersonal though it is still your Word on your Mac. But I do understand now, and I can see the difference and understand how you feel while writing directly on blog. And actually, I do love when you converse with us…when you converse with me, and I wouldn’t mind getting your posts in any shape, form, length or content. Just keep them coming.
Thank you for sending these nice photos… the dark glasses with the reflections on it give the shape of an eye with the white space and the tiny black circle…or maybe you mean the red color in one arm of the glass and the white color on the second arm….I think I am focusing more on the handsome ‘ol fogie’ in white that I can’t really observe the real subtleties of the sunglasses
And Abhishiek looks nice as well…I remember watching his speech at IIFA when he got emotional talking about you. That was a very touching moment and he really got my heart…and it is really so good these charitable activities made by such a big event like IIFA.
Mentioning photos then, I have taken the memory test. Thanks for putting it up to us…yes, it worked and it is fun….i got 88% as a score. I think this is good at my current state of mind while iam suffering bad memory and complete lack of concentration.. believe me I didn’t expect to reach 50%..so, iam happy with that score for now.
The photos of the eclipse are amazing. It is such an exceptional natural phenomenon.
But I really wish they could be able to find that drug which may make us live for the 300 years to come so we can keep it up here and we still have our connection and maybe discuss and talk about the next eclipse on our dear blog…I wonder what will be the score of my memory test then.
A lot of EF are brilliant and write beautifully. I come across valuable and amazing comments whenever I find the chance to go through the comments. They deserve your acknowledgement and your notice.
Iam glad to find you refreshed and cheerful…
And wish you would always be ‘as well as you want to be’.
Goodnight & the sweetest of dreams
With love…and much more.
Rasha Zayed.

Good morning Amitji
Well, well and well. Every thing looks good, but why you are in hospital Again?
We are here to share your pain, not just to sit and read post and feel handicapped that we can do nothing. It is so frustrating.
I understand your limitation of on Internet but i still wants to be a part of it.
OK If it is PAIN again, I will tell RAVI SHANKER’S magic of relieving pain.
i think it was month of march 2009 , during navratra when spiritual master Ravi Shanker visited Australia. i attended his introductory work shop.
On second day he asked, Does any one has pain here? I raised my hand and i told him about my Kidney pain. This wasn’t due to stone but due to infection. AS i am in kidney failure and going to start dialysis soon. It was due to
inflammation at lower end of ureter which opens in bladder that was inflammed and constricted. i had this pain for about one month . Every day i take two tablets of Paracetamol to get rid of it, but it still lasts for 4-5 hours. i only tremble in bed for five hours. I can’t have other pain killers , they all are toxic to kidney. So i told him about it.
He asked me to put my hand where the pain is, and take deep breath in and out , two times. After that he said , how much of pain is reduced now ?
I said 40 % . he again asked me, to take deep breath in and out and now this time it was reduced 60=70%.
He said it will go away.
Than i told him that i have this pain for one month, all test, ultra sound, CT scan, MAG 3 scan doesn’t show and abnormality or obstruction so what shall i do.
He said me to do in way he told me.And said it is not some one sitting in heaven relieving pain, but it is parana which is relieving pain.
Next day while visiting him again in work shop a , pain started in train.
I thought , should i take Panadol? then thought no, let me try his magic. and i stood up from my seat, and start doing Pranayam , and it was relieved in 15 minutes. i remember my Guru Shirdi sai bab and God .. The pain that use to last 4-5 hours disappear in in 15 minutes with faith in Guru word .
next day in work shop , he came in public down from stage, every one came forward to get his blessing. As i went near him and bowed down , got his blessings and turn back to my seat, My seat was at a distance of almost 12 chairs away, I couldn’t believe his divine energy was flowing up to tmy seat . His aura was so big.
I told my mum and sister go touch his feet , he is radiating divinity, they did it but didn’t feel any thing. i said don’t worry , you still got it because you went near him and he divine.
he said what ever problem you have give it to me . I take them , and you don’t worry. Such are spiritual masters of India.
We live in privilledged world where so many masters are on earth solacing humanity.
i hope every one should get a chance to go near them and get peace from them.
Daihik , Devic , Bhoumik tapa .
ram rajya nahin kahua vyapa.
becuse when mind is fixed on God you don’t feel pain of human body, sorrows or grief of this life, and pain ful memories of past they all get diluted in divine love.
I hope you like it.

It is a pleasure to spend time with Grand children isn’t it Amit bhai ?
I’m enjoying my time with my grand son & think it is so precious .
God bless & warm rgds,

Big B sir,
your entry wasn’t so bad yesterday so don’t be too hard on yourself. actually, i think it was quite okay and in fact, i was kind of surprised that you enjoyed watching Grey’s Anatomy. that only shows that you keep things real and that’s good to hear
nice pictures! i liked them all especially the eclipse pics. it was a pretty amazing sight yesterday but i didn’t get to actually watch it
anyway, thanks for the pictures!
and! i was able to watch you in Talk Asia last night! that was so good. i loved your interview.
my mom found it weird (since she doesn’t watch Hindi films) that i knew the movie clips featured and sang along with some of the songs. the segment was, if i would say it in Tagalog (our national language), it was “nakakabitin” meaning, that 30 minute segment was not enough *sigh*. anyway, i’ll just watch the replays on CNN. LoL
lots of love and good wishes for you and your family,

Dear Amitji,
The sight of your wonderful signature displays the mood you are in …HAPPY! HAPPY! HAPPY!
Thank you for the lovely photographs. You look really stylish in those dark glasses, with the sides being different colours, very unusual and subtle and quite becoming! BUT what about the beautiful white shirt with the satin stripes?!! The material looks lovely and cool and you look absolutely Fab and very Sexy!!!
That was a nice encounter with the gentleman. He seemed very pleased to make your acquaintance and the gentle words of wisdom he spoke after you enquired about him - ‘You are as well as you want to be!’ I shall remember that.
Haven’t attempted the Memory Test, will do so in the morning when fresh and alert, as its past midnight now. Forgot to say the eclipse pictures were truly amazing, how fortunate for the people who saw it for real, something quite memorable. Strange, the pictures coming out in green instead of silvery white/cream colour. Many thanks for sharing them with us.
You’ve let the cat out of the bag! It’s the SUGAR CUBES that keeps you packed with ‘ENERGY’ and ‘HYPER!!’ Goodnight and God bless. And I ’shall’ always look forward to your blog.
With love,
Brenda

मेरे ही स्वर से फिर सारी गूँज उठेगी मधुशाला।।
कल? कल पर विश्वास किया कब करता है पीनेवाला
:-)
हो सकते कल कर जड़ जिनसे फिर फिर आज उठा प्याला,
आज हाथ में था, वह खोया, कल का कौन भरोसा है,
कल की हो न मुझे मधुशाला काल कुटिल की मधुशाला।।”

Hey there, Smokey! I just took your test and scored much better than I expected to! Part 1/Facial Recognition: 100% and 83% on the second part dealing with when I had seen the faces! Wow! I try to pay attention, guess it must be working! Thanks for the fun test! Now as for what I can observe in that picture of you in the coooool glasses… let’s see… you wear NO undershirt, achaa lagaaaaaa… you wear gold/silver combination rings on odd fingers: middle finger on right hand (what is that stone, may I ask?) and pinky finger on your left hand… your nails are nicely trimmed and your face is very smoothly shaved… mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
Anyway, must clear my head, couldn’t make out what was reflected in the glasses and believe me, I tried! Love that shirt with the satin stipes - very nice. Thank you dear for calling us your ’sweet little society’ - I loved that you said that… I, too, feel as though I am typing directly to you here. Also, when I read your words, I feel that you are speaking directly to me - and I now know that you ARE! Sort of…
So enjoy all of this. You are such fun to hang with. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Ahh, FYI, I also enjoy films from Southern India, they seem so much less contrived, a little more innocent, less Hollywood and more India, which is what I want to see anyway! Right now I am watching ‘Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram’ which has been lovely so far… It is on ‘pause’ and I will close for now and go back to it… Tomorrow night? After your blog? ‘Bachban’! Saving that one… With much sincere affection, Valorie XXXXX OOOOO
Dear Mr.Bachhan’
It’s always Goodnight from you and its always Goodmorning from me,this is my time in front of this magical box.
Cannot write much today ,to have guests for lunch.
Comment on your photo-Don’t like pics that don’t show your eyes.

Thank you for sending those lovely photo.
Now lets see my visual test.On the dark glasses I can see bit of red on the left side and bit of blue on the right side and a yellow band in the middle of the glass. In the reflection, top half I can see white reflection of something, cant really make out what it is.
Have a nice day

Hi Sir,

IS THAT REALLY YOU? Didn’t quite recognize you here:
Source: Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
Fogie \Fo”gie\, n.
See Fogy.
Fogy \Fo”gy\, n.; pl. Fogies.
A dull old fellow; a person behind the times,
over-conservative, or slow; — usually preceded by old.
[Written also fogie and fogey.] [Colloq.]
Notorious old bore; regular old fogy. –Thackeray.
Note: The word is said to be connected with the German vogt,
a guard or protector. By others it is regarded as a
diminutive of folk (cf. D. volkje). It is defined by
Jamieson, in his Scottish Dictionary, as “an invalid
or garrison soldier,” and is applied to the old
soldiers of the Royal Hospital at Dublin, which is
called the Fogies’ Hospital. In the fixed habits of
such persons we see the origin of the present use of
the term. –Sir F. Head.

Hahaha, Love you.
Take care,,,,

I love it when you post babuji’s poems?
Do change them often.
I am reading some of his poems and also listening to his poems sung by you on my ipod, on the way to work.
Why don’t you recite more of his poems and put it up on this blog as a link???? It would be AWESOME. You have a great voice and great talent in poetry recitation.
You know a famous ram katha kar (Murari bapu) used to recite “sher/Shayari” and suddenly they observed that teens and college kids started to come to listen to his ram katha!!!
You can have similar impact….major impact!
Cheers
I feel Word is a barrier. Well I don’t know. I like streams of consciousness. I think it is more visceral as opposed to the more constructed formalities of print.
Good morning sir
Wishing you are in best condition and complete health
and your friend mr.Amar Singh Ji
Thank you for this beautiful posts and pics.
The total eclipse as you mention every 300 years, I wish next time all of us, kind EF, in heaven. Even if this drug that shall give human more long time invented…sorry…its my wish to myself…
Usually after total eclipse or incomplete ones earthquakes takes places around the world, so I hope and pray to my God to safe the world…
Remain safe and fine always
best regards
Love
Amit ji you asked us what we noticed in the photo. Well here’s my input. I can see the ol fella in a Nirma washed, sparkling white trendy shirt. Top two buttons deliberately undone (fashion hunk), dark glasses hiding those ‘to die for’ eyes. The pair of eye glasses in his hand to help him read the menu fine prints. A bread basket in the background, indicates it’s a fine French restaurant. Couple of very fortunate waiters ready to serve the superstar cum down-to-earth family man. Gorgeous smile (can’t see any teeth though). Hmmm where’s the denture case? A ring in the middle finger as well as the index finger on the other hand. That distinctive AB grey beared, evenly shaped, wrinkles around the neck invisible. Hmmm although zooming in, it appears he may have missed the day’s shave. Whewww this quiz was much more interesting that the memory test.
Love you always
Divya
Pls post some pictures of your son and bahu together.
YAY! Got 95% in my memory test…..sorry forgot to mention that before.I got only one photo wrong. thought that was a good one.
Anyway,tomorrow is a 7years barsi of my Father-in-law so preparing food he used to love,will get together with my inlaws and pray with the Kids.
Looking forward to meet my Mother-in-law and the other kids of the family.
Take care,

G’morning.
why was I so sure that we would see some photos of the eclipse on your blog? That is exactly how I saw it ,live, throu’ an X ray sheet last morning. thanks. I will have to googlesearch to figure out why they are green. will do that later.
And now about the pics. Your son looks cool , but could do with a less starved look. He looked good in Dhoom 2 and played a good role in Guru. Aneroxia is not too good.
And now on to you, : the best shot is the one in Jalsa: your affectionate looking eyes are framed just perfectly by the glasses. I also like the snap in sportgear, but the dark glasses— I mean they are too big for your face, and they have some miniscule metallic elements on the bridge and edges … but then .. so what . Not that you dont look snazzy in dark glasses, but those I can now recall are in the Reid and Taylor ads. Yesterday I was looking for a Parker pen with your autograph on it…. but I am told they are out of stock….. bad luck for me.
I will take the memory test during my lunch time …. I must now get ready and leave for work.
here here here …. catch all the good vibes coming your way…. have a great day… and wish the same for me too…. am going through a mildly turbulent time at work
How cute are YOU!!
love ya
hello sir,
I scored 100% and 98% what does that mean i am a littel confused
Dear Big B,
I scored 100% on the Recognition score and 87% on the Temporal memory score.
That was cool, wasn’t it ?
Love,
Subramanian
Dearest Amitji…

Its 4 in d morn…had to read and write 2 you…

Hi,
Total Solar Eclipse of 2009 July 22On Wednesday, 2009 July 22, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses half of Earth. The path of the Moon’s umbral shadow begins in India and crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and China. After leaving mainland Asia, the path crosses Japan’s Ryukyu Islands and curves southeast through the Pacific Ocean where the maximum duration of totality reaches 6 min 39 s. A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon’s penumbral shadow, which includes most of eastern Asia, Indonesia, and the Pacific Ocan…..

The black glasses - Amit jee Handsome as always.
I have a suggestion no matter what you have to say but as a big fan of yours I think you should check once again your 70s picture with glasses. I find you The Best Handsome man in those glasses otherwise currently I find Shahrukh Khan with glasses (chak de) - The Best.
He is one of The Best no matter you say he is the best.
But it is sure that when you dont wear your old days glasses surely he is “The Best”
huh
: \
(few days back I saw one of your pic with white shirt And blue jeans with ray-ban(may be) glasses if I am correct - That was excellent. And listen - The only competitor I find equally good while wearing glasses is Sylvester Stallone. I saw him in one of his movies wearing white shirt/blue jeans/and ray-ban (may be) glasses and coming down from steps. The walk on steps was The Best I have seen till-date by any actor but yes, your breaking of door in the movie Aakhri Raasta is the best till-date by any actor And you were wearing glasses)

As usual great post, great white shirt you have worn and the glares are just too kool…..
Have a nice day, God Bless you,allways,looking forward to see Abhi on NDTV Jai Jawan show

Super green pics of the moon :). The completely dark sunglasses give you a gangster look
I meant it as a joke. Actually, it’s unnerving when you can’t catch even the glimpse of the person’s eyes. You don’t know what he is feeling, where he is looking? It has an eerie feel. You look much nicer when your eyes are allowed to speak.
I am taking the 5 minute break on the test while I write to you. I have forwarded it to my friends. I also love the inspirational quotes you put up from time to time. I cut paste and store them and read them quite often.
I might not write a comment everyday but I love your writing. May God keep you healthy forever. I “shall” get back to my test now
Love
Rachna
How do you do this???? After reading your post either I am smiling, laughing, crying, sniffling or angry (not with you but with the doers of certain wrong doings mentioned in your blog))……How do you always manage to evoke feelings?
I think its because you have a heart to heart talk with us!!
And I love it.
I don’t mind losing a post but wouldn’t want to compromise on this…so pls don’t use WORD.
And I SHALL continue reading your blog everyday…
love u,

Dear Amitji,
I took the test and got 95%. Am so happy. Good to know that you are enjoying urself. Just read on Yahoo News that Abhishek went to Kargil. What an experience it would have been for him….
Take care
Hi,
TV One to begin Sunday public affairs show aimed at Blacks
July 3, 2009
Roland Martin will anchor a new Sunday public affairs show aimed at a Black audience that will debut in September on the TV One network.
The “Washington Watch” program aims to tap into a new interest in politics and government due to the election of President Barack Obama, said Johnathan Rodgers, TV One’s president and CEO. It debuts Sept. 27 at 11 a.m. ET, and the show will be repeated each week at 5 p.m.
Martin, who is also a CNN commentator, will interview newsmakers and members of the Congressional Black Caucus. April Ryan, White House correspondent for the American Urban Radio Networks, and Robert Traynham, Philadelphia Tribune columnist and Comcast host, will be regular panel members. TV One is in about 48 million homes, a little less than half of the nation’s TV homes.
Rodgers said it dawned on him when TV One covered last year’s Democratic convention and saw many Black Caucus members trudge up to the network’s temporary rooftop studio for interviews: these politicians have few outlets to talk about their issues and people have few places to hear them.
“I hope to get smart, intelligent, entertaining conversation,” Rodgers said, “but I put this under the public affairs arena. It doesn’t have to be a ratings success.”
Despite the election of the nation’s first black president, many of TV One’s older viewers — the network tends to get an older audience than competitor BET — wonder what whether his administration will actively push a civil rights agenda and other issues that interest them, he said.
“Barack Obama is truly the American president,” Rodgers said. “He is not the white American president or the black American president. He is our president. A number of our viewers might have had a different expectation.”
Martin said he hoped the show would reflect the state of black America every week.
While the show is Washington-based, he said the concerns of people across the country would be reflected. He said he hopes to have viewers participate in the shows by suggesting questions and topics.
“We want to be bottom up,” he said. “The problems I see right now from so many of these shows is that they are top down — these are the things that we think are important.”
Rodgers said he initially wanted the show to first air in the late afternoon or evening, to distinguish it from the crowded field of Sunday morning public affairs shows. But he was advised that premiering “Washington Watch” at that hour during football season would be suicidal.
Is this ‘Lead Story’ for the 21st Century? (yes, I am dating myself.)

Smokey-ji, finally, I have the answer regarding ‘the subtleties’ of your glasses in todays photo… I looked and looked but couldn’t figure out what you wanted me to see - but then - I saw it! I see the reflections of all of us, your ’sweet little society’. It took me quite a while to realize what I was looking at or at least what you wanted me to see but finally there we were… your EF, smiling at you, reflected in your sunglasses… how very nice…
Loving you lots XXXXX OOOOO Valorie
Did I get it right? If not, I am just going to pretend that I AM right, okay? It makes me happy - khushi khushi

Hi,
Total Solar Eclipse Coming on July 22, 2009
Millions of people in India, China, and other parts of Asia will witness a total solar eclipse on July 22, 2009. Cities such as Surat, in India, as well as Chengdu, Shanghai, and Wuhan, in China, will experience the eclipse’s totality. Visitors at the Taj Mahal, which is listed as one of the modern world’s seven wonders, will witness this eclipse. This eclipse will also occur in places such as Japan, where Tokyo’s residents will witness a partial eclipse.
Many claim that this solar eclipse will be the longest total solar eclipse in the 21st century, and will not be surpassed in duration until June 13, 2132. The umbra* travels along a track that is about 15,150km (about 9414 miles) long and covers 0.71 percent of the earth’s surface area over a course of three hours and 25 minutes. The eclipse’s maximum duration of totality will be six minutes and 39 seconds. Timeanddate.com created an animation of the solar eclipse’s path.
Where will the Eclipse be Visible?
According to NASA, The path of the moon’s umbral shadow begins in India and crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and China before curving south across the Pacific Ocean. A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the moon’s penumbral (partially shaded outer region) shadow, which includes most of eastern Asia, Indonesia, and the Pacific Ocean.
The Eclipse’s Path
The central line of the moon’s shadow begins in India’s Gulf of Khambhat (Bay of Cambay) at 00:53 Universal Time (UT), according to sources such as NASA. The eclipse track is 205km wide at its start as the umbra quickly travels east-northeast. People in the city of Surat, India, will experience a total eclipse for three minutes and 14 seconds.
This image shows the solar eclipse’s annular path on July 22, 2009. The different shades of red depict the eclipse’s visibility, with the strongest and innermost shade depicting 75 percent visibility, followed by 50 percent visibility, 25 percent visibility, and down to as low as zero percent visibility. The maximum eclipse is visible at various locations.
The shadow then moves on to the city of Indore where totality occurs for three minutes and five seconds. By 00:55 UT, the umbra is in central India where it stretches diagonally across two-thirds of the country. The Taj Mahal in Agra experiences a deep partial eclipse of magnitude 0.906 at 00:56 UT. Kolkata (Calcutta) can view a partial eclipse of magnitude 0.911. The shadow reaches the region between Nepal and Bangladesh at 00:58 UT. Outside the path, Kathmandu experiences a partial eclipse.
The eclipse’s central line then reaches Bhutan at 00:59 UT. After leaving Bhutan, the track continues to the northeastern Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. The umbra’s center reaches the India-China border at 01:05 UT, where the totality duration is four minutes and 26 seconds. The southern half of the umbra sweeps across northern Burma (the Union of Myanmar) before the entire shadow enters China’s Yunnan province and the Tibet Autonomous Region.
The city of Chengdu, in China, is totally eclipsed for three minutes and 16 seconds at 01:13 UT. The Chongqing municipality’s urban center experiences a totality lasting four minutes and six seconds at 01:15 UT. Wuhan, which is the fourth largest city in China, will experience a totality lasting for five minutes and 25 seconds at 01:27 UT. Hangzhou will see a total eclipse of five minutes and 19 seconds at 01:37 UT. Shanghai will experience five minutes of totality at 01:39 UT.
After crossing the East China Sea, the umbra encounters Japan’s Ryukyu Islands (Nansei Islands) at 01:57 UT. The island of Yakushima experiences three minutes and 57 seconds of totality. Akuseki-shima experiences six minutes and 20 seconds of the total eclipse. Tokyo will witness a partial eclipse at 02:13 UT.
The shadow encounters the Japanese islands of Iwo Jima and Kitaio Jima at around 02:27 UT. These islands experience five minutes and 13 seconds and six minutes and 34 seconds of totality, respectively.
Greatest Eclipse Occurrence
The instant of greatest eclipse occurs at 02:35:19 UT (latitude 24° 13ʹN, longitude 144° 07ʹE) when the axis of the moon’s shadow passes closest to the earth’s center. The totality here is six minutes 39 seconds. The path width is 258km (about 160 miles) around this time. The rest of the eclipse’s path makes no major landfall – it arcs southeast through the Pacific Ocean hitting only a handful of small atolls (islands consisting of a circular coral reef surrounding a lagoon).
Eclipse’s Final Moments
Enewetak Atoll, an island that was a nuclear test site in the 1950s, will experience totality for five minutes 38 seconds at 03:31 UT. The eclipse track’s final landfall occurs on Nikumaroro Island (Gardner Island), where the total phase lasts three minutes and 39 seconds. The lunar shadow once again becomes a long, drawn-out ellipse. In its final few minutes, the umbra’s velocity accelerates while the sun’s altitude and the central duration decrease. As the moon’s shadow lifts off the earth and returns to space, the central line ends at 04:18 UT.
Eclipses in 2009

HI,
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace. Taking, as he did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that he will make all things right if I surrender to his will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.

Amit,
GOD has created this nature for the human being.
While creating this nature he have thought that all his children on earth will leave in peace and happiness together.But we human beings have not understood this truth of ALMIGHTY and are fighting with each other on petty things.We are trying too much to control the nature through scientific means but while doing so we should not forget that “ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO CONTROL GOD THROUGH ANY SCIENCE INSPITE OF WHATEVER PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE TODAY OR WE WILL DO IN FUTURE .SIMILARLY ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO RUN THE NATURE AS PER OUR OWN WILL AND DESIRE”.
The gentleman have correctly told you that “IF WE WANT TO BE WELL WE WILL BE.ITS ALL IN OUR MIND.MENTAL STRENGTH IS THE GREATEST STRENGTH.IF WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING GREAT WE WILL DO.”

First time reading any Blog, quite amazing from your busy day you find time to write, and such a will written Blog. Is there a collection of Your Father Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s poem translated in English? I lived in India for 6 years, I can speak but can not read Hindi, unfortunatley.

Advance engineering like IT is very useful but interruption is obvious once in a blue moon. We need to keep patience till Engineers solve the problem; you see it’s a machine……that cares software & hardware.
Black glasses with RED corner on right and BLUE on left, what is secret oh holding another glass in your hand. This glass doesn’t belong to you???
Ha Ha Ha…athletic ..what an IDEA sir ji. It feels good when you talk about direct interaction with us if you post directly from your Mr.MAC..
You noticed one lady second from left is hanging out there without camera in the JURY??

Sir,
I was a bit intrigued by your mention that the next such occasion - pertaining to solar eclipse - will be 300 years later. I am sure I read something wrong there or did not get the context of the line, for the next solar eclipse is on 15th Jan 2010 and ’shall’ pass thorough Kerela and Sri Lanka.
Also did you know a trivia that Earth is the ONLY planet from which you can see a total solar eclipse? It is uncanny that the moon is at a precise position between Earth and Sun and is spherical in shape so as to exactly cover the sun and give us that brilliant view. No other planet in the Solar System can witness a total solar eclipse.
Once we discover alien lifeforms maybe this could be a good tourist attraction.
With respect,

Hi,
U sure have a way with words. I love reading ur blogs…how beautifully u express urself…every simple thought, act, or mundane daily activity gets a new beauty of its own when u describe them.
My mom is a big fan of urs…and I think u are super hot too…u are God’s gift to women…:) Thank you God for a wonderful gift…
Love.

Hi Mr. B,
With ur dark glasses on you are staring at me buddy what else?!!Boy and dont u look smashing “Move over Hugh Jackman Mr. B WAS always there” ;giving all the new bacchas a run for their money are u?But seriously those were indeed great snaps.Did u flirt with some of the chicks around or not?
yes there seem to be some who want to grab some more of ur attention ,I dont blame them though being possessive to me seems a bit stifling.To each their own i suppose.
I agree with u whole heartedly some of those tamil songs really are eye catching spectacular I have watched them many times andd really enjoyed the locales ,music, dancing especially.
have a bit of work to do shall catch up with u later so byee and take care.
Oh one more thing this is out of context but all the same i have like u best with Zeenat Aman, both of u looked so sylish together and to me its syle that matters, esp, loved u in “Pukar” in that raunchy number with Zeenie tina and randhir kapoor oh its was just mind blowing ;on that note ta ta and ciao sharmishta
For AB,
Your decision of not mentioning names of EF in the green-room script above is most untimely!
I feel like Vijay in the last scene of Deewar. If I were to write that scene today, in this context it would read like this:
Sudhir: Main aa gaya Ma… dekh main aa gaya..
… … … [I am back Ma... See.. I am back]
Ma: Sudhir! Ye kya ho gaya bete?
… … … [Sudhir! Oh, what is this, my son?]
Sudhir: thakk gaya hun Ma… AB ke blog pe likhte.. likhte… bahut thakkk gaya hun!
… … … [Tired Ma... Writing... writing on AB's blog... I am exhausted!]
Ma: Tujhe kuch nahin hoga bete!
— — — [You'll be alright son!]
Sudhir: Tujhe yaad hai Ma… jab is duniya mein… AB ka blog nahin tha… tu maar maar kar mujhe sulaati thi?
… … … [You remember Ma... when there was no AB blog in this world... you would spank me till I went to sleep?]
Ma: Haan bete, mujhe yaad hai
… … … [Yes son, I remember]
Sudhir: Uss din se… aaj tak… main kabhi nahin so saka Ma… din raat blog par likhta tha.. mujhe kabhi neend nahin aayi Ma!
… … … [Since that day... I have never slept Ma... day and night I write on the blog... I never could sleep Ma!]
Ma: Nahin, Sudhir, Nahin!
… … … [No, Sudhir, No!]
Sudhir: Ma, ye blogging hai na… ye football ke jaisa game hai Ma!… Pata hai kal kya hua?… Main saare players ke beech se goal tak pahuncha Ma!…
— — — [Ma, this blogging... blogging is like a game of football Ma!... do you know what happened yesterday?... I tackled all the players in the mid-field and reached upto the goal Ma!]
Ma: Goalkeeper ne ball rok diya?
… … … [Goal keeper stopped the ball?]
Sudhir: Nahin Ma… Main goal maarne hi wala tha, tab AB ne goal post hataa diyaa!
… … … [No Ma... I was about to score a goal and AB moved the goal post!]
Sudhir: Main thakk gaya hun Ma!
… … … [I am so tired Ma!]
Ma: Koi baat nahin bete… aaj se tu khana bana… main AB ke blog pe comment likthi hun!
… … … [Never mind son... from now on you cook the food... I will write the comments on AB's blog!]
Sudhir: Aayen?!
… … … [Aayen?!]
Ma: Haan bete… main comment likhun gi… Bhagwan Maradona ne shrimad world-cup me kaha hai… jahaan payr nahin chalte… vahaan haath se kaam lena chahiye! … Main likhungi… Aaj ke baad koi AB goal post nahin hilaayega!
… … … [Yes Son!... I will write comments... Lord Maradona has said in his book The Holy World-Cup... where the feet are not useful... use your hands... I will write..... from today... no AB can move goal posts here after!]
Sudhir: Ma, tussi great ho ji! Sadar charan sparsh!
… … … [Ma, you are great!]

Dear Amitji, thank you for sharing the solar eclipse pics with us. If I am not wrong, the next solar eclipse will be seen after 150 years and not after 300 years as you have mentioned. Anyways, we won’t be around at that time to witness the event.
Keep writing and be well.

Dear AB,
Just Came back after a long Vacation. Took the kids to show our great country. Went to Himachal for 15 days up till Rohtang, also went to Agra and Delhi…and now back to the grind back to the blog…..Printed out all the missed posts and reading them one by one leisurely….What a great reading!
You are as well as you want to be !…..What a great statement….

Woo hoo! 100% and 86% on the memory! I rock!
Amit Uncle…those pictures are really nice. Not a fan of Abhishek anymore though. I love your pics though.
Will you post pictures of Shanouk when you get back home? I miss seeing the “little” guy.
Damn…you’re hot!
another enjoyable blog post has been read! one has to admire the power of sugar when it is put to good action!
dont be alarmed by the name “abstract”, its a codename haha my actual name is jennifer but thats a common name. from now i will use it here so you will know its from me 
Good day, evening amit ji. Hope all is fine and a sugar crash was avoided. i love reading your blogs everyday from the start but dont make alot of appearances on the comments area and if i do a word of praise, its from a different name so i have been a slick fan
Thanks for the test & lovely photos. uhhh..umm..im a bit apprehensive about taking the test in this tired and yawning state but ok I ‘shall’ try it now and ’shall’ take another test when im awake to compare results………ok before I click to see my results, its safe to say that I should be approached for a role in “Ghajini 2”…lalala…AH! oh I did pretty ok I guess! Recognition: 91% Temporal memory: 84%. im proud to say I got all correct for part 2
back to the photos you posted—I quite enjoyed looking at the one with all the cameras pointing to you. Pictures like these show not only the variety of ‘picture-taking devices’ but the energy given off when a great being makes their entrance. & not to worry much about the green sun, the distinct color adds a bit of a magic touch to the eclipse. I wish I was on the west side of the world to see the special event but guess I have to wait 300 years…what a wait! but what lies outside our little small planet is a true mystery. hopefully some chapters would be uncovered one moon step at a time.
have to take my leave now but will drop in later. Take care and enjoy the day AB!!!
Dear AMit Uncle,

Hi Mr. Bachchan
“You are as well as you want to be”
I shall always remember that.Wonderful, simply brilliant, how this simple sentence fills you with energy & exuberance.
Thanks for the nice snaps.Liked all of them.especially the one at London restaurant.I hope for once your grand kids allow themselves to be clicked with you for the EF.
The solar eclipse, I was so excited,in Mumbai the sky got a little dark for 10 mins & that’s it.Wanted to catch on TV but couldn’t got back from work very late but manged to see on the website of Times Now.
I really got excited to read that u enjoy watching the south indian songs on the regional channel !!Its the same with me at times !!In case you are interested I would like to tell you that there is a movie (rt now in post prod)called QUICKGUN MURUGUN.From whatever I have seen its hilarious !Don’t miss it.
Take care
Love & regards

Good test indeed.
I saw the total eclipse from Delhi & the sight will last me a lifetime. I dont remember seeing as spectacular as this.
Nice pictures…
‘You are as well as you want to be !’
such a wonderful thought!
mind-body-spirit awakens to full throttle as i read!
thanks for sharing with us all.
also wish to humbly convey, this is one of the most inspiring posts, and cannot help but feel the charged up energy flow and spread all around!!!!!!
wooosssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Chacha jaan..
I don’t think this post #202+ of mine will ever get a yellow strip but what can I say it certainly does not outdo the audacity of my hope!
Regarding the riddle or subtleties of your dark glasses - It appears that they belong to a lady who is taking your picture. Although most eye wear these days is classified as UNISEX, the glasses in question have quite the colorful temples and a yellow bridge!! Not to mention the fact that you are holding a pair of glasses in your hands too. Which I presume are yours. And that my dear Watson is how the mystery of the dark glasses SHALL be solved.
And, of course, how can I not post my memory test results, they were 100%/ 95%. I got one wrong. Oh how I fear that this one wrong answer can strip me of a well deserving yellow strip!
Who knows I may get an email response. I promise will not bother you unnecessarily. Oh the audacity of hope.
The pic at Jalsa gets my vote over all others. You should make it the main pic while the blog loads.
and with that.. loads of love.

Dear Sir,
that was a good & fresh & lively post.

dear amitji,
at last someone’s taking care of “bogus voting” on our polls!
had pointed out certain bugs in the polling mechanism sometime ago, but regret to say, there was no response from yours truly, so thoda sad ho gaaya
in the meantime had a great fun everyday, voting for ALL the options, with the hope someone would notice…. think someone did notice atlast!
today, deliberately voted for the first option, refreshed and then tried voting for the second but got this warning:
you have already voted option #24 !
someone up there is listening… er, READING every word!
mogambo khush hua
just to add, had reported on this poll bug ref: day 409 at 12.45pm 6th june 2009

Dear Amit Ji
What we think,or what we know,or what we believe,is, in the end, of little consequence.The only consequence is what we do.
Can we meet on your visit to Delhi.

hey amtiji, i took the bbc memory test and i am glad to tell you that i scored a good number..thanks for sharing the link..it was an interesting exercise
I loved the Afternoon Dispatched to an Outer Space part..i was in splits after reading that section of your blog today:)) Keep writing, amitji. It’s such a joy to read your thoughts day after day. God bless you with loads and loads of good luck, health, and joy. Love ya.
hi amitji,
U LOOK SO ADORABLE . feel like reaching out to ur forehead and asking the ol’fogie to go to bed .
love ur sense of humour , u and ur son .
u won’t listen na? i have told u time and again but u shall stay awake and disturb ur health in the process but i won’t stop telling u to sleep early . i SHALL be OBSTINATE TOO . if sleeping times r not proper or even if u take tensions it leads to a lot many diseases . u call urself an ol-fogie (though u don’t look one) so please follow good sleeping and eating habits .
the solar eclipse pictures must have come out green ‘coz they might have been taken thru’ the xray films to protect ones eyes .
the snap in which u r with ur grand kids whats so special ? u have asked us to notice it . i kept looking at it hard but other than the silver lines on ur shirt i noticed nothing. i tried checking out ur glasses whether anyone was visible but no luck there too . so tell us .
abhishek as usual looks the son of the handsome hunk that he is . is it a b/w photo or what u call sepia .he looks like an actor of the b/w era .
btw if u use an athletic gear to communicate with us i suppose the timings of communicateion should change too . ‘coz jogging is usually done in the morn. so again sleep early and talk with us in the morn .
so ‘U R AS WELL AS U WANT TO BE SO U SHALL REMAIN AS HAPPY AS U WANT TO BE ‘ its all in the mind ain’t it amitji ? so be happy . singapore is suiting u a lot . u r feeling very happy amidst ur friend but v r missing u too . so come back soon.
i love tamil choreography too . they dance beautifully and even the romantic scenes r so good u want to fall in love once again . bye . take care . aaiting the yellow lines .
love u
rachana
Dear Amitji,
You asked us to figure out what we noticed about you sun glasses ?? Are we talking about the ‘Blue’ and ‘Red’ colour on the corners ???
Love your Shirt - linen with the silver stripes !!!
Best regards,
Prakash
Hi Sir..
I guess the subtlety about the Glasses you wore is ‘ In the left there is blue color and red in the right side’… And one more glass is in ur hand …
i hope i m getting what u meant..
do let us know..
Thnx..

Hyd,India
yes i do agree with you that writing directly on the post makes it more personal, almost one to one.when i am writing to you i feel as if you are right in front of me and i am actually talking to you. almost visualize your expressions.and i love it.
the memory test was good my scores 95/65 not bad for a 46 yr old .i forwarded the link to my family and the friends,and they are loving it.
thanks for the pics.the best one for me was the one in jalsa,i am sure i saw it in the blog a few months ago.your dark glasses looked good on you.on enlarging them i think i saw the reflections of the objects in front and the windows or were they painted on the top part.did not quite understand what you meant by the subtleties of it.wish you would explain and not just wave it off as ok for them who got it as well as who did not.
the grahan pics were awesome,thank you for sharing all.
i adore your humbleness.be as well as you want to be.
i am missing angles pictures,i wish she would be back.
love you sunshine.pradipta.

Hi Mr Bachchan
Hope my mail finds you in the best of your health and spirits.
I must say you have a tremendous sense of humour.Reading your blog is the most exciting part of my life.
‘You are as well as you want to be !’ I shall try to be as well as possible from now on and shall always remember this phrase and Shall always use ‘SHALL’ no matter what some newspaper say.
Yipeeee.
Thanks for all the photos and am also trying to take the ‘BBC HUMAN AND BODY MIND TEST’.
I wish someday your grandchildren wouldn’t fell shy and appear on the blog.
The colour green of the photos of eclipses may be due to some colour setting problems in the camera.That has happened with me once so I thought to share.
Keep blogging.
Take care loving and sweet ‘young fogie’
Love & warm regards
Priyanka.

Sir:
Thank you for the test link. I was below average in both the tests. Wonder what to do now??
Cannot notice anything in the glasses save for three different colors. Maybe I cannot notice because I have failed in the above test also.
Comment (134) (29)….
Terrible Test……….
False Postives(s) — 0
Recognition Score - 58 % — whereas average is 92 % I am way behind.
Temporal Memory Scaore - 71 % — Average is 68 % I am just above average.
We would like to see the photograph you snapped when you met this ailing gentleman from Australia who was pushing his own wheel chair with his son.
His reply ‘You are as well as you want to be!’…not only show his opinion on his own condition that he recovered as he wanted but the will innerside of oneself SHALL have if he/she is suffering from any atype of ilment.
Sometime I yell blissfully ” I am what I am , go hell with what I am not”.
Regards……….
Excellent memory test site.
I got 100% and 91%.

Dear Amitabh Bachchan,
I am back to your blog and … the test !!…
It was real fun ! I scored 95% x 95 % in both categories and I know I could have exhibited even better memory results ! : )… but … here it is - where it turns from fun into real funny…
When I took a recommended five minute break between the parts, out of boredom of just sitting and staring at the comp I’ve decided to do something useful in the kitchen…and… got so involved in the process - I ‘completely forgot’ what I have been doing in the first place, I mean taking the test : ), and I continued with my chores for a while… hahaha : ) It is self evident !… of my memory… I mean, that I must have forgotten a couple of faces under the circumstances : ) and could not have produce a better result…: )
*
Pictures of the Grahan are very precious..! As is the description and your thoughts about the eclipse.. It must have been very scary for the people of previous centuries to experience the phenomenon - of the Sun swallowed by the shadow of the Moon… And it could have induced a superstitious fear of the world coming to an end indeed…
Now we know better, but I bet it still derives a reverent awe as an event of cosmic proportion and I loved you writing about the scale of the Earth and humankind in the vastness of the Universe filled with billions of galaxies and all our ‘earthly’ quarrels being insignificant and inconsequential on the background of such magnificent Creation…

I love the starry sky and astronomy and when I got to America I’ve learnt about it even more from Astronomy magazines and observatory on Palomar Mountain in California and from the trips with our friend and his telescope to the distant places in the desert where all the stars in the sky can be seen clearly at night… I have seen Jupiter and its four moons through the telescope…And also once, I have seen the Shuttle launch on Cape Canaveral in Florida in 1996… It did give a feeling of a cosmic event - all the ground was shaking and vibrating even as we were watching across the channel.. After that I was certainly a fan of the American movie “Armageddon”…: )
*
What a joy is your entry today ! Especially the photographs and cheerful ending !
Abhishek looks great and I did see him speaking at IIFA awards in Macau on Youtube - it was splendid !
Among the ‘subtleties’ on your sunglasses picture I can see the reflections that remind in shape of cat’s eyes. And, on the enlarged version of photograph, there is many little details, but it is hard to describe what they are…
The photograph in ‘athletic computer gear’ is gorgeous ! Your eye are beaming !! : )
Thank you for posting it… And all the rest… The one from Jalsa was my favorite of you so far…
You look so young and handsome on all of them - please, do not even ever think of yourself
as “ol’ “ ! : ) You are amazing !!
Also the picture of all the cameras directed at you is very revealing.. I admire your patience of facing them all the time…
*
Here it was very hot today - 90-es and 100 … I went to the pine forest for a bit .. Heated piney smelling air and complete stillness - no creature is out for the day at such temperatures !
A delight for my senses… : )
Have a good day and remain well..
God bless and take care.
Much love to you.

I just love u sir…U r simply adorable !!! Ur posts are the best hook i can get on the net….
Hello Mr. Amitabh Bachchan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am your fanat. My name is Igor .I am 16 years .I am from Russia. You are the best actor of Bolliwood. I wanted for you to know about your new films of Teen Patti and Shantaram. What will these be films? Where do you intend to make them?
Yet it would be desirable to know about a film Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag. I did not yet see him, but read, that this film remake of your immortal and great film Sholay. you in him act part of Amjad Khan. Will you have projects in 2010?
I wish you a health, success, love, happiness and all wonderful in life.

For AB,
Regarding the subtlety about the glasses.
I can’t see the reflection of the camera-person in the glass even though you are staring straight at the lens!
I call this the Moghul-e-Azam effect!
The famous song, “Pyar Kiya to darna kya…” was shot on the sets of a palace of of mirrors. One can see Madhubala in every mirror around but there is no sign of the camera in those mirrors although the shot is at eye level!
And imagine that in the ’60s… when the only special effect was a pre-recorded song!

Dear Mr B,
I think I scored well on the test. Recognition score of 93% and Temporal memory score of 98%.
Anyway another great post from you and whatever you write I SHALL continue to read your blog in darkness and in light.
Loved the photos that you have posted but have not been able to decipher anything from the photo in a London resturant. You look ready to take your fingers for the 10,000 step walk with the EF but I don’t see the extra cushions and the neckpeice. Please do what the doctors have asked you too.
Have a great day.

Respected Amitji,
Its a late reply again. But i S H A L try to come early.
Anyway it may not suit you to write in “Word” but writting in post directly always pose a threat of erase of whole document but fingure mistake or some tech failour. But its your choice.
But no matter in wht topic you write, we are here to read your thoughts about any thing. It does sound little stupid…but our love for you in such strong. Thanks for sharing the snaps…Honestly speaking you look good then avi. The glass you wear make you look more dashing then wht you wear at Jalsa..
Lastly thanks for appreciating us for our comments.. Its our honour to write in your blog..Hope someday you will reply…
Be Happy & stay fit….(Hmmm U watch SUN TV)

Darling Amitabh,
You’ve outdone yourself tonight. I loved the whole post, pictures, test, everything. I know exactly how you feel about not posting to Word first. It’s true you risk losing what you’ve typed when you post direct to the computer, but it does have a wonderful sense of immediacy and contact with each other. I say do it in whatever way makes you feel easiest communicating with us.
I love seeing you in sweats. It reminds me of scenes in Baghban and Cheeni Kum. Maybe not the exact outfits, but close.
Tonight was movie night at my house. This time it was an old John Wayne film with Joseph Schildkraut and Ann Dvorak called “Flame of the Barbary Coast.” It was a favorite of mine when it first came out, and I wanted to show it to my friend Sharon, who is considerably younger than I and didn’t see the good stuff that was around when I was a teenager. Unlike most John Wayne pictures, it was mostly romance and little action, and although it took place in San Francisco, it was definitely not a western. I think you might like it. Netflix has it.
I’m going to do the test now and find out how I come out.
Two more weeks and I’ll be 81 years old. The brain seems to be holding up pretty well so far but I imagine in a year or two it will begin to lose traction. We’ll see.
Aloha from Hawaii, where it’s pouring rain …

My dear Sir,
Many thanks for the lovely blog, wonderful photographs (awesome!)& for the memory test too. Oh no no No need to apologise! Don’t worry! I think its wise to save the document first & paste it in to your blog later – I’ve noticed that you’ve lost your original blog for several times – so please save it first & then continue.
Did the memory test & my scores are:-
“Recognition score
( if you saw it )
Your score: 100%
Average score: 92% - This is a measure of your ability to remember the photos you’ve seen, regardless of the part in which you saw them. From all 24 photos shown in Parts 1 & 2, you recognised: 24 photo(s). Temporal memory score
( when you saw it )
Your score: 83%
Average score: 68% = This is a measure of how often you recognised a photo and matched it to the correct part, instead of just remembering which ones you’d seen. From all the photos you recognised, you matched: 20 photo(s) to the correct part.”
Was able to match only 20! Missed 4! Should have done better than this! Pity – isn’t it?
Re: the photographs –
Photo No. 1 – Your son – no comments.
Photo No. 2 – London Restaurant – awesome – noticed many things!
Photo No. 3 – In your room in Singapore – simply wonderful.
Photo No. 4 – At Jalsa – This is the best ever picture I’ve ever seen! Lovely.
Photo No. 5 –Cameramen - Yeah, very interesting!
The Eclipse – well, I missed it but watched it on TV last night – many thanks for the lovely photos.
Please do take care of yourself & enjoy your stay in Singapore.
May God bless you!
With lots of love & all good wishes,
Shyama

Dear Jasmine (comment No. 256 – Day 456)
Many thanks for your note – was very kind of you! Well, I’m trying to find the correct answer to the last question re. cats! Hope I’ll be able to find the correct answer & will let you know – a bit later. Hope all is great with you & have a pleasant day & enjoy!
With lots of love,

Hi Amit Ji, I admire you a lot since you’re one of the rare actors in the world with such an appeal across time and space. I am sad to see how most big stars are happily twittering away but no one gives a thought to tens of millions in India who do not have regular access to internet. Most of your fans have a mobile phone though. I think you’re THE Star of the masses, so you should use SMSGupShup instead. I read they have 20 Million users in India, much bigger than Orkut/Facebook/Twitter. You can send SMSes to thousands of fans free of cost. Imagine the smiles on the faces of your fans when they get an sms from you!
Namaskar…………………..
Well. I got 70% of the “when you saw it” pictures right, and I got 100% of the “did you see it at all” pictures right.
I didn’t realize I’d have to remember which part I saw them in, or I would have concentrated on that as well.
I often wonder how people learn lines so well in movies and TV. I watch West Wing fairly regularly, and the speed at which people say the lines astounds me. They go on in these long scenes with people just talking away a mile a minute and not forgetting their lines. It’s absolutely amazing to me. I don’t know how they (and you, and all actors) can manage to remember them all. It’s not as though they were the same lines again and again; they’re complicated on WW and on every subject under the sun.
I guess I’m glad now (I wasn’t always) that I didn’t go into show business. At least the talking part. Playing music has always been the part I liked.
Aloha, dear boy …
Love, Dorothy

For AB,
Your take in todays post that - “Everyone spends a great deal of time getting to the text, reading it understanding it … … and then commenting on it… a massive dedicated exercise … ”
Need a slight addition to the acknowledgement list… the bosses in the offices during working hours!
Allow me to give you an example -
Here is a person sitting in her office… … Boss walks in… and finds the sub in deep thought… hair in a disarray… the brooding look of a female Einstein…
“Hi, busy?”
No reply.
“Ok. See you later”
===
And here is what our dear brooding sub is doing on her pc:
My Precious, My Dearest Mr. Bachchan,
I love your eyes, and nose, and ears, and eye brows, and french beard, in Alladin. I am pathetically in love with your pathology!
Muuaaaaahh
xxxx
====
So, the message is, while we are glad that you appreciate our efforts, please don’t forget our kind bosses… in the offices…
===
Today’s sad news is, starting this afternoon, we are on an extended weekend hoilday and offices will re-open only on Sunday.
So until then, there may be a short lull in the steady stream of comments from this end, like what you see during our routine busy-ness in the office hours!

Sudhir
Dear Boss,
The sunglasses has two colours red and blue on frame, which tells the on comer that you are coming and not going, same like we have it on ships and aircrafts, secondly, the lights are lit on the celing when its a bright sun shine outside, waste of electricity and finally you are wearing a wig or implants and thats not your original hairs.
Best Wishes,

Dearest Mr.Bachchan,
Please, please do not apologise for the bad presentation or the tacky contents. Its you being in touch with us what counts and not how the blog is presented. After your sweet declaration about why you defer to use Word nobody from your EF will ever again request you to write and save in word. Its so sweet of you to say that you feel that we are all sitting in front of you when you punch in and sharing your mirth and laughter and you forget, sharing your anger and frustration when the media writes and highlight you in a bad way too. When I reply to your blog I feel the same believe me. Its like you are here in front of me when I punch away…. Marigold yogurt with 2 sticks of sugar can get you HYPER. Your blog without the yellow slips even, get us hyper. Thank you for those pics, You look Marvellous as usual and Abhi is no less either. I loved the one in the close up shot at Jalsa the best tho’.That outfit for computer work is very cool, the photos of the eclipse are good too but have seen enough of those whole of yesterday on the news channels. For me the eclipse is just that. Will take the Memory test now and tell you honestly how I fared.Your blog today was very enjoyable and please don’t call my Mr. Bachchan “ol fogie”ever. With warm hugs and all the love.
FANTASTIC…n thanks a mil on the effort u’ve made n the thought 4 availing us the memory test….cool stuff…..nice 2c sum snaps that u’ve put up 2….
1 doesn’t often comment/s on ur blog…it’s a sheer pleasure 2 read it everyday….thanks 4 writing everyday 2…..n the polls that u put up r interesting 2…..Take care n GOD Bless……
Thanks for the pics. I liked your shirt as well….
Dear Amitji, Good Afternoon. Your acknowledgement of our contribution to the blog is like bouncing the ball back and forth. We write because you write and issues of importance do get generated. Your watching SUN TV for South Indian songs and dances itself is testimony that you read very carefully what we write on the blog as comments and personal experiences.
I feel happy today that I have been able to resume on of my lost hobby of many years due to someone relighting an estinguished flame of my heart’s candle. Life is so beautiful when lived with appreciation from people who value our work and relationship. It is difficult to explain but human beings are always starving of love. If they get love in abundance they again self doubt and feel afraid that love is in essence true or is it undeserved liking. My personal experience of life says we spot love in smallest of the things people do for us. It may be as small as someone trying to read and understand your name. someone looking in your eyes and even a small glance of appreciation can kindle love’s flame. Or someone wishing you sweet dreams or just saying Take Care. Life is lit when someone genuinely is concerned about us and wants to know wether we have eaten food. A fire is a late occurence but striking the spark is the real occurence. So is true with love. Amitji lives are enriched when we find there is purity of love flowing in our thoughts. Sometimes we do begin lifetime relationships or may be saat janmoka saath by a smallest act of concern for someone. Honestly I admit that is what makes many to write so that someone who touched our life somewhere may read what we write and rekindle a flame long lost forever.
Your appreciation of our writing on the blog also is an exchange of unselfish love bonding that exists. Somewhere something remotest may have touched us in our life. It may have been a dance step or a song line or your love scene or in reality your talking to us in real life. It is difficult to explain where such a beautiful river starts flowing.
The best !dea exchanges are when we accept to change our views or way of life. Even on the blog we have found such acceptances and that is what makes it a two way communion of communication. Jeena yaha marna yaha iske sivay jaana kahan…Jab khel me hum na ho… so we are always leaving our immortal self on the blog so that people can see and understand what is life when there is unconditional love.
Love you for your honest words and let someone burn all those grammar books..
Have a nice day and enjoy life.
Regards to you and all EF members who motivate us to write and sometimes spill the hearts or beans.

Dear Bachhan Saheb,
Amazing memory test it was. I loved it. Scored 91% (average 92%) on the recognition one and the scored 81 % (average 68%) in temporal memory score. I am happy as i can not say to myself that i am getting enough sleep. Thanks a lot Sir. My dad always used to say that you are healthy only untill you are getting enough sleep. Bachhan saa’b, i just think that you are a true thinker and want good about your society and your country. Thanks a lot sir. Please keep up the good work. Thanks and Regards. Manish
Sir, did you get a chance to think about my suggestion of setting up a website dedicated to Hindi literature and writers…?????????
Oh Mr. Bachchcan I score 95% in recognition and 86%in tempory memory..how good is that??????
~
~~
~~~
Dear Sir,
Many Many Many Thanks for the lovely photographs!!!
Abhishek is looking dapper in his smart suit!
And is every-bit a true gentleman AND a youth icon AND a thinking man!!!
ALL your photographs are lovely, especially the first one!
As for the dark glasses and its subtleties..? Well….
There’s BLUE on one side, RED on the other side, and a dash of YELLOW in the centre! But nowhere could I find the reflection of the photographer or of any of the kids hidden here or there or under…!!!
The eclipse photos are interesting, but even more interesting is the photo of those lens-wielding journos! At times I pity them… but mostly I DESPISE them!
And now for the memory test! The BBC’s THE MEMORY TEST!
Well, I took it following all the 5-minute rules, and here are the results:
Recognition score (if you saw it): Your score: 100%
Temporal memory score (when you saw it): Your score: 58%
I’d say — PRETTY IMPRESSIVE!!!!!!
:-)

Dear sir,
Thanks for solar eclipse photos , looking Green and unique .
I was hoping for that ..only missing that this photos has not taken by you .
I am also agree with you sir ! despite of many error in my response ,In word i find uneasiness as if I am losing the direct connectivity , so always i write in online whatever i think and never shy of mistakes just follow the connectivity line of soul because here I feel you are in front of me.
behind of you An employees of hotel is taking snap of your as still photography.

LoL..loved your sun glasses…with multiple colours at the edges..Were they really yours??
Nice Eclipse pix. And thanks for sharing rest of them too.
I prefer reading your blog with personal touch to it. today was one of it . I read ALL
Yes I think it is being fair not to say names as it becomes unfair with the rest of EF’s. At the end of the day WE all put effort not one or two. You may have your fav but to express loudly breaks many others hearts.
Today we have a bit relieve from hot hot weather …some sea breeze here and there making it bit comfortable to be in the island.
loved your gadget for you blog , I ought to get one too
take care
Dear Sir
I am part of your EF based in Uk. I have to say I feel better and get cheered after reading your blog. It has become a routine for me. so please ignore the comments of the afternoon daily and continue to enlight us with your wonderful thoughts.
Kind regards

Dear Amitji
This is the first time i m posting something on the blog.i read ur todays post.I must say i was quite pleased reading it until i reached the SUN TV part.Now i am not sure if u were sarcastic in the comment about the colors,clothes.I get really annoyed when someone tries to make fun of south indian movies,culture,attire and everything. i am a proud south indian and i feel one must respect other cultures.
and here i am with the result
part 1=100%
Part2=83%
I enjoyed taking it..thanks for sharing
I scored 96% but I can vouch for a fact I def. do have a better memory.Sudhir (193) got me into splits on his conversation with his mom regarding our mr. B.Oh it was hilarious to say the least.
Dear Amit Uncle…
Very surprisingly i scored…100% and 95% respectively on the memory test.
Am totally impressed …Very unexpected..considering the ways i forget things at home. My phone…I woudnt know where it is…My keys…i would be hunting all over and thinking if only they had a functionality of search…My specks- Always lost…
Nevertheless you are the cutest…Thanks for the link..
My wish- To be able to meet you someday
….Miles to go before i sleep…
Yeh test vest apen kaam ki cheez nahi hai.
I am the King of the Laziest … Haa King at last!
It takes great amount of work to open the test page and go through the pictures and remember and then go over again jog the memory trouble the poor mind of greatest villain in the history of Indian cinema the great “GABBAR”
No way I will conduct such test.
Maybe it is the story of my life or my destiny to MISS OUT all the best things happening in the world like the “Eclipse” which will never come again until after 300 years now. I missed the Unforgetable Tour, Never got chance to see Michael Jackson etc etc many more things which doesn’t come to mind at the moment.
Dear Mr Bachchan
One of the - MANY - pleasures of your Blog is how we examine your graceful and original use of language. Take today… two columns of sugar to sweeten you yoghurt….
Could this be a vision of sugar pouring down from a sugar shaker, in long fluid columns? Probably not.
I pondered further, and felt that the ‘literal truth’ might be that these are the long, thin, tube-shaped packet of sugar commonly found in hotels and restaurants. (A duller mind might have called them sticks of sugar).
But the poetic truth is so much more beautiful. A column of sugar, evoking perhaps the biblical ‘pillar of salt’.
And making me think that a ‘column of sugar’ is not a very sure foundation for keeping energy levels up - the glucose high will soon dissolve and leave you in danger of crashing down…
Sending you the sweetest and most indissoluble love, Daisy
GRAND QUESTION TIME:
Now that it is confirmed that Hritik Roshan will play the role of the great “Vijay Dinanath Chauhan”. What does the people think, Will he be able to do justice to that character? And DOES he fit in ones mind for that role?
Every time i try to imagine Hritik - especially where the scene begins where Amitabh Bachchan sits opposite the policeman “Vikram Gokhale” saying in his huge baritone voice “Vijay Dinanath Chauhan” pura naam umar somethin something while raising hand to constables in the background.
“HOW ON EARTH WOULD SUCH GREAT EXPRESSION BE DONNED BY HRITIK ROSHAN? He may be one of the finest actor but he still has to prove also.
Lets wait and watch time will tell how will he do it. Every actor in the future will work in one Big B’s movie remake.
Hi! DEMI GOD!
It has finally rained in Delhi and in bountiful abundance. Queer are the ways of nature. it has provided the much needed relief to all & sundry and even ‘THEY’ are not complaining…the mortals on roadside. the clouds relentlessly outburst when HE pricked them. It has drenched the parched earth and may be repeated beggings & yearnings has moved him emotionally…hence TEARS OF JOY AND SORROW FOR THOSE CHILDREN OF LESSER GODS!!!
A NOBLE SOUL OF THE STATURE OF GANGA BAI HANGAL HAS FINALLY TAKEN HER LAST SLEEP. MAY GOD GRANT HER HEAVENS….
My unmeasured love for you,,

All those who scored above 85% — YOU ALL CHEATED!!!!!!!! Period No arguements.
Dear Mr. Bachchan,

take care…

cool test.
i got 83% and 75%.
what did u get
Hey “Shall” Buddy, you are as much a crazy kid as I am..!! LOL..
Dear Snehaji, comment 285. Nowhere I find sarcasm in what Amitji wrote. The fact of the matter is songs which have been imported in to Hindi movies especially for the music and the choreography when viewed in real South Indian sequence are much better in their research and adaptation. I may add here that even in present day South movies one can hear the diction of leading lady resembling that of Hema Malini Rekha or Jaya Prada. We have best of Amitji’s movies with them and must admit somewhere there is a deep connect of his success with the roles played by his leading ladies. The list can be endless Sharabi Jaya Prada Baghbaan Hema Malini Mukaddar-ka-Sikander Rekha. When one sees the dances one does feel South has a leading edge. My all time favourite is Prabhu Deva the bone-less miracle.
My sincere regards for AR Rehman and his colleagues who put us on world map of film music and fact is we haven’t even understood the mammoth contribution from this unassuming man of few words. May his tribe increase.

Dear Sir,
Thoroughly enjoyed reading today’s post. My comment today might be in bits and pieces as I have deadlines to meet. I forgot to mention this yesterday, there is exclusive video footage of the Eclipse on bbc.co.uk/worldservice Spectacular photography. Eclipse as viewed in India and China and reactions. I shall write more later.
Love,
Daksha
Mr B, with regards to the glasses, I notice two things:
1) you have another pair in your hands
2) the fact that you are wearing sunglasses indoors must mean that they are prescription glasses.
Love
Ben
It’s always a great pleasure reading the contents from your blog Sir.
God bless you Sir.
Hahaa,, I simply love your humour and wittiness !!
Hiya Senior B,
The Dark glasses…and how dark are these..caution don’t wear them out at night you’ll definitely miss a step. Aaaah…or are these the ones i want so that i can ogle at will without being caught!!!gotcha!!
pretty cool anyhow . love the colours which are subtle and not quite like Uncle Sams overpowering coloured ones.
My favorite one is the last pic….you look quite the dad who can calm the nerves by just one stretch of your arms .
The one in the tracks is going to start a brand war…nike wristband and reebok tracks…..man they’ll be killing each other over it….were the shoes addidas?…lol
‘You are as well as you want to be !’…well said by the man in the wheelchair…does he have a name…has to have a name…then we must know what it is …cant keep calling him the man in the wheel chair..no fair…do u agree?
The eclipse of the mind plagues humanity and yet we look skywards when the answers are starkly staring us in the face. This is how i see the eclips:
The sun is out there to shine like our life, we build up a bank of grudges that causes the eclipse…only if we had the wisdom to move the eclipse out of our lives fast enough by being compassionate and grateful for everything…cuse life itself is enlightenment…oooh did i just write that…i just impressed myself…
heading off to give myself a pat on the back…
back….so hows you’re buddy? Has the transplant gone well…give him my best.
hear mumbai is rocking…literally…my pals building rocks every time a wave crashes in on the 4th FLOOR!! sounds scary….mother nature is freaking out..being the “Bhai”…So mumbai ka Bhai Kaun…?
looks like i still need to learn about the yellow highlights….what in heavens is this commotion all about…I just have to know.
Got to go get my chai fix….will check out the brain quiz…not sharing it with dad cuse i know he;ll win….my advise to Abhi also stays the same…don’t mess with the dads brain…cuse they win and then they never let you forget it!!
Big tight Jhapphi!! feels like a Jhapphi day!
Chai cheers!!
Dear Sir,
Sorry, i did not understand the memory test.
We would be happy if you shall explain to us what it is.Then we shall do it again.
Regards,

Sirji
You are looking just fantastic as always. This sunglasses suits you very much.

Sir, I have gone through the test and scored 86%.
Waiting for just one email from you.

Dear Sir,
I enjoyed the memory test and got only 92%.What a shame!!! .i envy you for this.I must say you really take a good care of your health and i must now start concentrating.
Neways the photos were awesome.Brilliant!!!
Liked ur pics but would be happy if u cld pls send in some of Shanouk’s recent pics.
As far eclippse is concerned it was all over the place and a small correction.It will occur next in 123 years.I guess ihv not offended u.
Just wanted to share a small story which would compel you to everyday express ur love to EF—-
Brittney loved basketball, Friends and parties too, And when it came to painting,
That’s all she wanted to do. She painted everything she saw, Birds, flowers, and the sky, Some
days she sat at her window, And painted everything that passed her by. But lately she’d been
feeling woozy, Her muscles ached a lot, And her parents got kind of worried, So they took her to
the doctor, The doctor took a couple of tests, To see if everything was okay, Then the nurse came
out with a look of sadness, And this is what she had to say..
“I’m sorry, but you’ve got leukemia, ” You’ve got about 3 months more.” Then Brittney got up
and ran out of the room, And slammed the office door. She ran down the street screaming,
And cried her eyes out dry, And stayed up all night, Wondering what it’s like to die.
Her parents held her tightly, And said, “We love you,” We’ll make your last few months the greatest,
“We’ll do anything for you.” So Brittney and her parents moved to Florida,
to live by the sea, Because Brittney loved the ocean, And when she died, that’s where she wanted to be.
She spent her days painting, And horseback riding in by the bay, But one day she met this guy,
And his name was Jay. They collected seashells together, And talked about all kinds of things, And then
one day while walking, He handed her a ring. It said, “I love you,” Which brought tears to Brittney’s eyes,
And when he put it on her finger, She began to cry. He asked her what was wrong, and she then replied,
“I’ve got leukemia, and about a month more. ” He said,” No matter what, I love you And no matter what,
you are the one I adore.” So they spent everyday together, And swam in the Atlantic all day, But Brittney
was getting weaker, And it was hard for her stay awake. So one day Brittney painted her picture,
And gave it to Jay, She said, “I want you to remember me,” “Even when I leave this place..”
And one day while they were walking, And searching for seashells in the sand, Brittney collapsed and started
to lose her breath, And said to Jay, “Please hold my hand.” I love you more than anyone,” You are my only
true love,” But now my time is up,” And I’ll watch over you from above,” Then Brittney’s body was lifeless,
As she lay in Jay’s arms, And he sat there all day, And kept her safe from harm..
I hope this teaches you a lesson. To tell someone you love them whenever you can. Because maybe they’ll
be gone tomorrow. And you won’t be there to hold their hand. Because love is everything to everybody. Without
it, the world would be dead. So always tell someone you love them. A parent, boyfriend/girlfriend, or friend.
Send this to everyone you know, it makes a big difference even though you don’t think so . . .
Everyone deserves an “I love you..” Because there may be no one for that person to say it back to . . .
Love & Regards
Rohit

For AB
The paragraph you have written about space and our place in the universe is most intriguing and definitely calls for some introspection.
———-
I quote here my own words from my weblog which is dedicated to my philosophical musings:
—
Thus in the source of everything, this is the real, this is the true…
The Absolutes do not need my senses for being. The Absolutes do not gain existence by my witness. They just are, as they were, and they shall be, long after I am gone.
I do not know if the Absolutes were created. I do not know if the Absolutes will perish. I know that I am mortal. I do not know if the Absolutes are immortal. I am only a witness to the reality of this moment.
My work is my learning. My consciousness is my driver. My knowledge is merely the knowledge of the Absolutes. My wisdom is merely in its application.
The immortal is thus veiled by the Real. This is the Truth.
—
I persevere with caution lest I become what I dwell on.
My intellect fills with entities, phenomena and their qualities.
I receive them as learning, for I am not the source of this occurrence.
I receive them with humility, for I am awed by their manifestation.
Surely I am in this state of consciousness; yet I am not what I perceive.
See how my joy makes me suffer!
My association with the Absolute is phenomenal… from my first breath to my last…
—
Contemplation is a state of consciousness. It is not limited to philosophy. It is the source of all my conviction.
An identity is an Absolute. I cannot reflect on nothingness.
If everything that moves is alive, then nothing is dead. If everything that is alive is mortal, then nothing is immortal.
I do not pretend that the universe exists for my detection.
I determine this relationship for my own pleasure.
This is the beginning of the beginning.
—
I am not a dispassionate witness.
This duality is indeed prodigious.
The knower seeks the known, the doer seeks the done!
Life luxuriates in the real. This reverie does not create; it merely exults or endures in acquisition till death obliterates the body, the mind and the consciousness.
Truth prevails…
Immortality is such a relative anti-concept!

Angel,
I got 83% in recognision score and 85% in temporary memory score.However I haven’t taken a breaks in between.
Trushar
U have decorated today’s post very nicely, Dearest. Very interesting to read and with lots of varieties. U always present the best to us, so eclipse pics are beautiful. U care so much for us. So, u r lovable.
Abhishek looks handsome as usual, father also looks handsome, now the question is who looks more handsome, father or so. If I say father looks more, son may get offended and fathers always want to see their children on top. Now, if I say son looks more handsome, father may think, oww! It’s may be because of my age, so I am in total confusion (in Bappida style), let’s not get into the arguments………… I know who to vote for though u have not asked for, I keep it as secret.
Another thing is very clear from Ur posts that U are scared of our lectures of early sleep and U always try to justify Urself, why U go to bed so late. I always scold U for this, U like it or not, U listen or not, I SHALL continue to do the same as it’s my nature. But when U said, ”……….That holds my hand as I reach out. That comforts my forehead and tells me - ‘get to bed you ‘ol fogie.. we have had enough !!” it really mans a lot for me. Thank U again and again and millions time again……………………
Not yet done the memory test, I afraid to check my poor memory, still I shall do it today, because I could not sleep well yesterday due to throat infection, so today is the best day to check it……….. ha ha ha… will let U know the result.
Subtleties thru the black glasses, can’t be seen properly, but I guess one of the kids is taking the pic. Am I right???
All the best again for 10000 steps……………… any new achievement on this??
With endless love,
Tumpa

Dear Amit Uncle,
I have been writing you in the hope that someday you will also acknolwdge my conversation like I do yours.
Now when I see those yellow line replies to the First Commers, I try and feel happy for them but end up jealous.
Anyway, I am sure once you will start from the end and read me and reply too.
Thanks a lot for Abhishek’s picture.. I love your son.. He is the MAN… so real and no Hero but a Star.. And I love Aishwarya ‘coz she is the epitome of grace , talent and culture.. And I love Jaya AUnty.. She has the guts, the vigour, the talent and then she ‘z from bhopal( I ve met her when I was 2, you know..!)
But I love you.. Coz you are a sweetheart, intelligent, thoughtful, legend but feels like someone very close..like my Dad..
Take Care Amit Uncle..
And please do reply to me..

Hey Sir! I have tried Face Memory Test and would like to share the results with you in first box I got 92% and in second box it was 86%. What was your score??
Love Sunita
We are waiting for will come to visit us in Israel
I read and enjoy your blog everyday. Your efforts to post eclipse pictures/memory test and many other things to EF despite your busy schedule indeed is commendable. Your description of Mumbai rain is so vivid. Your points to ponder - royal abdication, our nothingness in the universe etc., compel us to ponder about finer aspects amidst our routine. On the whole your writing reveals what you could have been other than a fine spontaneous actor - ‘a writer’ ‘a teacher’.
’shall’ in today’s blog is apt and also amusing
EF should thank you abundantly for all your efforts.
Wish you all the very best.

Hi Sir,

I read ur blogs regularly.. Its very surprising for me to see u write about Sun TV and movies here… Actually speaking we here see more of the movies there and think they were stunning…
Thank u very much sir… God bless…
Dear Sir,
It was hillarious, cant stop laughing, people in the office started looking at me as to what happened to this guy, I am talking about the number of SHALL you used specially the one SHALL BABY!! was sooooooo hillarious, I am actually giggling while writing this also, good answer to the newspaper for the outer space, he he he.
Thank you so much Sir for making me laugh so much.
The pics were awesome, thanks for posting them.
I scored 87% on the memory test, guess its below average, I need to have a better sleep, thanks for posting the test.
And yes I do expect a yellow line below whenever I put a comment, but I can never ever get angry on you Sir if I dont find one, neither I get upset, I truly understand that it must be difficult for you to reply to all the comments, I would say it is a priveledge for me that I get to read your blog, but the yellow line will surely put a HUUUUGE smile on my face, I have never got it till now, eagerly waiting for the one.
Thank you Sir for being there for me, with lots and lots of love.

I found the memory test very interesting & useful my husband Dilip whom you talk to on the blog from time to time were having a competition to see who has better memory well, lets say it was neck & neck on recognition but my Temporial memory was better than his. Also, great photos especially the one you have taken of the paparazzi, now we know how you all feel when cameras are pointing at you all the while. But you see this is the only way we can capture the great moment when we see you yes, our memories hold all the details but kya kare we need to have photos to look at and prove to ourselves and others we have seen you. My husband always updates me on the latest news from you but I have less time to reply to you but, today I made time . Hope your health is improving god bless you all. Illa

HEADS OFF TO YOU
Dear Amitji
Thanks a million to respond to my messages!, i have waited long and i don’t mind waiting for some more time. I am now stationed in Abu Dhabi and so i will need at least a weeks notice to come down to Mumbai.
Right now, i am unwell with a back problem, i am at home laying on a firm bed. If all goes well, i should be fit beginning of Aug’09.
My kids are so excited to see your replies and thank you for making them feel good.
This blog has created so much of love and happiness, i see so many of them sending messages repeatedly like me, some may do all the writing in the morning and paste when ur new message pops up. On the whole, we all love you Bachchan saab.
I am so glad that you do read all messages and that makes us more comfortable.
Take care..wish you the best always!

shankar
Dear Amit Ji,
I guess you have a loads of reading to do to get to my mess, but then again i would never know when you would reply back to me, so i read your entry last ngt or this early mor n then i realsied well wht you said tht we all are i guess million n millions away from wht reality is, we still fight bout religion n customs n petty things which do not or should not matter but as a matter of fact to do, a present experience of mine has shown me tht it does it very well does, very very few people are like us for whom its like one being is only imp buit im sure even you must be keeping some closures for some people im not saying caste or religion because i know u will always say u believe in all but somewhere i just wanna know there will be one thing tht u must also be particular bout as far as people are concern ?????
hopefully its not intruating in ur privacy
Awating reply,

Sir,
This is the first time i am writing to you and must say its giving me jitters. I just love reading your blogs and so whenevr i get time out of my work schedule, i make sure am on to this site and reading your blogs.
I believe its very difficult for a busy person like you to spend this much of time with your fans and sharing each and every feelings, thoughts, emotions that you experience each passing day. I am glad to have people like you in our country who do not throw tantrums on being a superstar; rather are very down to earth and so very expressive.
By the way, before i forget, i am sending this message to you as I tried out the memory test and my score is 95%….Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!…Am so very happy about it.
Anyways….its really nice to be in touch with you through your blogs.
So keep writing in.
Regards…
Dear Mr Bachchan
Thank you for SOOOOO many yellow slips, including my Lemur Love!! Baby, I am tuning up to sing a very joyful song….
And I learn yet more from your replies… that your two ‘columns’ of sugar were a witty play on their stimulant effect like ‘lines of coke’ . As ever, we struggle to keep up with your sparkling synapses.
With so much love, Daisy
indeed a red- letter day in the lives of many bloggers who were pleasantly surprised to get individual reply to their posts from the legend himself.KYA KHAYA THA KYA PIYA THA. LAGE RAHO AISAHI KHATE PEETE RAHO–KYA MAZA AA RAHA HAI. JEEYO HAZAARO SAAL-MAY THE ALMIGHTY SHOWER HIS CHOICEST BLESSINGS UPON YOU AND YOUR DEAR AND NEAR ONES.
For your information the clouds have been blown away by the strong winds and we may get sunshine in mumbai for the next few days.there could be intermittent passing showers at times.i think the high tide warning from 23rd to 26th july by the MET OFFICE may not have much effect.
enjoy yourself. happy landing at chhatrapati shivaji airport,mumbai.

I quite agree with your sense of something being lost for ever if it is lost.
Something to that moment in time, isn’t there?
Your points against draft mode are dutifully noted, but not complied with.
Grahan pictures were beautiful.
In case you have gmail, have you tried the Universe theme setting? Just beautiful. And it is humbling to be reminded of the enormity of soaring space as one goes along mundane tasks.
“You are as well as you want to be” BRAVO!
Glad to hear about your family member doing better.
A very poignant thought,” you are as well as you want to be”
Thanks for sharing!!

Bunty
I finally took the memory test and did much worse than you. I scored 91% and a lousy 63%. I can always use the excuse that I didn’t have the full 5 minutes to wait between them because I have to start work soon.
I noticed that you spelled the word ‘honoured’ in my reply (thank you) and I once saw you spell the word ‘color’.
I must start work.
Hi! DEMI GOD!!
yOUR WHITE LINEN EMBELLISED SHIRT IN YOUR PIC IS PERFECT FOR THE MOOD.
KEEP SMILING…! IT IS PRICELESS AND COSTS NOTHING.
My unmeasured love and much more…

Dear Amitji, Good evening. The memory test was a good excercise and I got 95% and 88%. Next time I will not ask my wife or children the characters in the movie. I will study the poster and sit quitely and watch the movie instead of asking disturbingly who is this or that throughout. Ofcourse your PAA face will be real test!!!

Dear Amit Ji,
I am also a BIG FAN of you just like yours 100000000000000 fans, After my Birth time I never missed your single movie. My mother said that I had stopped my crying to see your picture or listen any movie song of yours. From my childhood I have a Dream that you give me a Big hug.
I don’t know that my dream ever comes true or not but I wish that You Always be in my SOUL.
And Today I am 28 but still same feelings are remaining in my dream and in my mind. And I wish your Better Health condition will continue and The Blessing of GOD will remain Forever…
Best Regards,

Dear Amit uncle,
How r u doing……
I have’nt been able to keep up as my hubby had a minor surgery.Reports expected next week.All’s fine , nothing to worry.
Today I am going to go birthday shopping as it ismy birthday on the 27th as i told u already.
I am in Germany and yesterday they telecast Talk Asia with Anjali Rao.And it was your interview from Macau.Wao! u were awesome Amit Uncle.It rocked.
I took the Test link u gave ans scored 92 and 68% with just one wrong answer…looks like i am doing just fine..
I have a solution for you.Since you donot want to write in WORD since it takes away the feel from you.Why don’t you slect all the content and click COPY before posting it.So that even in the case that it gets lost u can again PASTE it and post it again.Please try and let me know if this works for you.
Lovely picture.I thin in the Delhi foto its ur grandchild taking the pic……
Sun Tv ….ya i use to watch the news channel regualrly when my dad was alive as being the nuclear scientist his interviews were aired regularly on the channel regarding a plant down south.
Hope Amar Singhji is recovering well.You too take care Uncle.
We all love you.
Luv Swati
Dear Amitji;
Low fat Yogurt for some sugar to stay HYPER .. and WOOOOSH.that’s funny, Did you get your sleep then?
reading your blog everyday is not only getting a peek into the brain of most known personality and sharing knowledge with high-end language, but is also great simple fun.
Will take memory test… and through the “dark sunglasses I see some silver linings on your eyebrows , are your having some makeup left for another shot or something? well will know tomorrow.. or wait you may answer me..!! silly me ..then again may be.
with love and regards Avani
Dear Mr.Bachchan

Wishing you tons of happiness..
Love always..

Dear Sir,
This is such a humorous post, you are in high spirits. Thank you so much for acknowledging EF once again. It is nothing but sheer pleasure writing to you on this medium provided by you for all. When I was little….going to cinema was not a tradition in my family and whenever we did get a chance to see one, we would think about the story for the next six months until we were allowed to watch another one. Human psychology is such some things from when we were young would leave their mark on our hearts and minds. You know how you have just talked about planets and galaxies and how distant and unreachable they appear to be, it was the same with me…never envisaged this connection you share with EF. Now with the blog, I am in real sense over the moon…one small step on the blog, one giant step into the world of the living legend.
I am happy for you to just be. Several times you have acknowledged our existence, I will not ask for more and have never thought about a yellow slip. Contentment…I am like that only….!
By the way, the day you talked about Suhag, I forgot to mention it altogether didn’t I? I praised everyone else, choon choon ke sab ki tarif ki aur aapke blog pe aap ki post me aap ki tarif karna bhool gayi! Silly me!
I cant do the mental test or the quiz now, mind is not clear, not relaxed, overloaded as usual…but I shall be back..
Love,
Daksha
dear mr. Bachchan,
Just finished my night shift and traveled to spend few days at the beach loved ur pics very much. Thanks for the memory test. Scored 95% only but i know i am somewhat sleep deprived. So happy with my score. The photos of the eclipse are great..thank you and your crew. Tomorrow is my birthday and i would be honoured and very happy if i got a reply from you. Best regards to you and speedy recovery tn mr.singh. Nuja
Dear Mr B ,
You sound sarcastic regarding your comments on Sun tv. I hope not.
Be well Mr B

For AB,
Just saw “Last Chance Harvey” starring Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. Another fine performance by Hoffman.
Papillon (1973), Kramer Vs Kramer, Rainman and now Harvey, Hoffman can make any award ceremony look like a tea-break!
One word ‘Amazing’!

Dear AB,
After reading your cheery post and use of words like ‘Photoshop’ (My favorite program) and photographs (not picture) brain/thoughts decided to get happy as much as it wanted to! But…After disatarous result of ‘Test’ it again decided to go into uncheery and gloomy mood. You are as well as you want to be !
That word ‘Ol fogie’ and photo at ‘La Pettite Maison’ made me curious and came out with following
Ol fogie -An older or elderly person or someone younger who resembles or has the traits of an older/elderly person in thinking, actions, or demeanor.
The word is said to be connected with the German Vogt,A guard or protector. By others it is regarded as a Diminutive of folk (cf. D. volkje). It is defined by Jamieson, in his Scottish Dictionary, as “an invalid or
Garrison soldier,” and is applied to the old soldiers Of the Royal Hospital at Dublin, which is called the Fogies’ Hospital. In the fixed habits of such persons We see the origin of the present use of the term.
La Petite Maison
Part of the buzz around this place is that it’s based on a namesake in Nice and co-owned by venture capitalist Arjun Waney, one of the owners of Roka and Zuma . It is on a triangular corner plot on a Mayfair backstreet, the windows letting in plenty of daylight without exposing the lack of any view and, from the pavement, you can see every move in the kitchen. The food arrives in novel way !(that is when it is ready to be served, not necessarily when you are). You are encouraged to share the food – a disorienting experience that makes the place seem more informal and allows diners to explore their mutual status.
That photo of ‘ol fogie’ at a London restaurant - le Petit Maison screaming to use that pedometer (10000 steps!) or use ‘photoshop’….no the first would be right choice! Sorry! for stepping in ONE DAISY M’s domain!!!
DAY 5

Go thru the sher of the day……….arz hai
Shartein lagai jati rhi dosti ke sath

Good Evening!Tomorrow is my birthday and I am throwing a party to celebrate it and on Saturday I will give food to poor children.I received a mouth organ from a near and dear aunt who is my mother’s friend.How essential is it to have friends.I have invited my 7 good friends for the party.Bye.

Uncle,
If one looks at the sunglasses, it appears that there is a pair of eyes on each lens-most peculiar. By the way, know somebody who was involved in a concert you did in Orlando many years ago. Mahesh from Radio Asia, Tampa, FL. And, also Arjan Uncle who constructed the sets for Mohabbatein in UK. I used to reside in UK until 2004.
Mahesh recalled how gracious you truly were when fans were clamoring for autographs and other artists begged off due to exhaustion and how you actually came out to meet fans and sign autographs.
i do hope some sort of event is planned in Florida one day sir-it would be most delightful to meet you-samja kya…abhi samjya hahaha

Hi
Dear Amitabh
i watched your interview on CNN and was pleased to hear your answer for the doctrate award you were to recieve in Australia. IT was nice to see that you cared for people, indians who are being subjected to racism in that country..
I am so proud of you………
Sir,
I just want to tell you that I have had the opportunity to use the Deodorant named after your name. Without doubt I can say it is the best Deo I have ever used. I am looking forward to use a perfume named after you as soon as I get it in a shop, and I am sure it would also be one of the best perfume.
Thanks

DO I HAVE YET QUESTION ARE CARRIED AWAY LI THERE YOU BY CRICKET?
My e-mail t426745@yandex.ru
Whether I get a “peela” line or not - I believe you have read my messages so far - from the what was written today.
My score was 87% and 61% - what was yours ?
The picture of you sitting in a restaurant in London, you are holding another pair of glasses how come ? One wearing and one in the hand. Hmmmm wonder why that is.
thought would share.
One day a professor of a university decided to defy his pupils.
He asked: did God create everything that exists?
A student answered bravely: ‘yes, He did.”
Everything? Asked the teacher
Yes, everything. Was the answer of the student.
In this case, God also created evil, correct? Because evil exists. Said the teacher…
To that the student had no answer and remained in silence.
The teacher was delighted at the opportunity to prove one more time that faith was only a myth.
Suddenly, another student raised his hand and asked, “May I ask you a question, professor?”
“Of course”, was the answer
Does cold exist?
Of course, answered the professor Don’t you ever feel cold?
Actually sir, cold does not exist. According to studies in Physics, cold is the total and complete absence of heat,
An object can only be studied if it has and transmits energy and it is the heat of an object that transmits it’s energy,
Without heat, the objects are inert, incapable to react. But cold does not exist. We created the term cold to explain the lack of heat.
And darkness?, continued the student
It exists, replies the professor
Again you’re wrong sir. Darkness is the total absence of light.
You can study light and brightness, but not darkness. The prism of Nichols shows the variety of different colors in which the light can be decomposed according to the longitude of the waves.
Darkness is the term we created to explain the total absence of light”
And finally, the student asked:
“And evil, sir, does evil exist?”
God did not create evil. Evil is the absence of God in people’s hearts, it is the absence of love, humanity and faith.
Love and faith are like heat and light. They exist.
Their absence lead to evil”
Now it was the professor’s turn to remain silent..
The name of the student was :
ALBERT EINSTEIN

Hi there
Wanted to say hello, not in the mood to write anything particular…
love and take care, Rachana
Speech by Chetan Bhagat in Symbiosis Institute of Management:-
Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a
marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no
point coming first. Same with life, where health and relationships are the
marbles. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life.
Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being
excited and alive, will start to die.
One thing about nurturing the spark - don’t take life seriously. Life is
not to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a
pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another
50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so
worked up?
It’s ok, bunk a few classes, goof up a few interviews, take leave from
work, fall in love. We are people, not programmed devices.
“Don’t be serious, be sincere.”!!!
Love you,
Take good care of yourself.
Rajesh

Hey Mr B…snorting sugar cubes are we..?! Careful now…we don’t want to damage the nostrils…
Fantastic post. Great pics.
The staff did a good job on capturing the eclipse.
Love the frames. Didn’t notice the detail until someone pointed them out. The yellow trim is the best. And you know, the shape of these frames suit your face better than the other rounder frames you sometimes wear. They remind me a little of Harry Potter’s specs…not that there’s anything wrong with Harry…he was ‘the chosen one’, after all…just that I picture you more as…Dumbledore… What!! He’s kinda hot you know..in his own wizardy way, i guess…if you like that kinda thing…!!
Take care…and love..
Shams
Dear Sir,
I wonder whether the Eclipse had anything to do with you being in a very jovial mood. You had yogurt with sugar, I had it with honey. A smoothie made from frozen yogurt cherries orange banana and golden, dripping honey. Not the weather for it but treat now and again does no harm. I shall not enquire why Abhishek’s photo is that colour….and you Sir, what would your dark glasses do without you? Why do you wear sunglasses? Because your EF is so…bright! Absolutely no doubt white is your favourite colour and THAT ONE (guess which one) reminds me of something…(guess what)!
“”Ol fogie?” Never!…… Shall Say Sir!
Love,
Daksha
Great post, Mr. B.!
Some very cool pictures, especially the one of you in the dark glasses in London. Although its a shame to hear you’ve thrown out your aviators! Should have sold them on eBay and made a ton… Sunglasses worn by the Big B… I would imagine there would be a riot of people bidding to own them!
I scored 95% and 82%. Could have done better, I suppose.
What plans to visit NY? I would love an opportunity to fulfill a long-held ambition: to meet you and warmly shake your hand. Was hoping to do so at your last visit to the Lincoln Center but was unsuccessful.
I saw Shahehshan again the other day… Absolutely love the bumbling inspector character you play in that movie… A fantastic performance… I especially love the scene when Mukhtar Singh comes to the police station and explains what happened to the previous inspector who refused to accept his proferred “mithai”… The expressions of incredulity and horror you showed on your face are priceless to watch!
I *shall* write again very soon. Ha ha!
Regards,
Guru
Dear Mr. Bachhan,
I just received an email from my mom, which she obviously got from somebody else, quoting your thoughts. While those quoted thoughts are really lovely and thought inspiring, I just wanted to conirm that they reall are your words and thoughts. I will paste them here.
““Memories are very confusing.. they make you laugh when you remember the time you cried together !! But make you cry when you remember the time you laughed together !!
“We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more.”
“A man was walking on a shaking bridge. He prayed for help.. he saw God on the other side of the bridge and asked God to come near, but God did’nt come. Man got angry. With great difficulty he crossed to the other side and saw God holding the broken bridge ! Trust HIM. HIS ways are amazing !!”
“The moment you think of giving up, think of a reason why you held so long.. Do or die is an old saying … do it before you die is the new one..!!”

Jasmine 395 - you are so sweet, big hugs, and yes I have to confess I do get a BIG thrill of happiness when I see that yellow slip…. not just for me but for other members of EF…. don’t EVER want that feeling to go away.
With love from Daisy
Hello AmitJi,
well, yes the glares look extremely cool on you, I notice surprisingly that the glares did not reflect the flash [ likely would have been used to get such clear picture inside the restaurant]
Mere pyaare Amitabh,
laakh laakh dhanyavaad hume “yellow strips” dene ka!!! Mann kush kar ditta ei!!
My scores look shameful as compared to what you achieved, well no excuses but it was mid-day and I guess I was being hit by hypoglycemic attack but still gathered myself and completed to see how much the mind remembers when the body is playing tricks with it. I guess I should have popped those sugar columns for some instant sugar relief….ha ha! well, thanks for explaining the “columns” of sugar … well you certainly are naughty at 60!
Chalo, atleast I got the subtleties of the darkglasses part right!!
Hope you had an enjoyable day…
Good Health

I think at ‘ol fogie at a London restaurant -’the dark glasses shows a garden behind but no image of children I notice
==========================================================
For AB & Jasmine, London,
Yes & No… Shifting the goal post is actually management jargon. Its similar to what our spin doctors in HR call ‘Continuous Improvement’ in the US (Six Sigma) or ‘Kaizen’ in Japanese Quality Circles.
I am not sure it fits well in what AB meant in the post! It would indeed be presumptious if I thought AB was thinking of me on the post! I was just having fun when I spoofed that dialogue of Deewar!
But the goal-post shifting and Lord Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ went well with Salim-Javed’s screen play of Deewar! So a bit of spoof never harmed anyone!
I don’t think AB will be able to reach and read #193 today in case he stands by his determination to write a yellow slip for every entry in an order. Thats a himalayan task!
Till that happens, I am glad to be a part of the EF and have some spontaneeous fun.
And Jasmine, you hit-bulls eye about my failure to take the memory test!
It was a non-starter! I ‘forgot’ to take the memory test! For people like me a message to remembered has to be simple and said very slowly…
Like this news headline in a Florida Newspaper called, ‘Keystone heights’
It says, “The Labor Department said the increase in unemployment last month resulted from workers losing their jobs…”
See? Simple, clear and very American!
Love
Sudhir
Shree Amitji,
Thank you for your keeping touch with our feelings.
We see your acting in film which is directed by other`s ,but in blog we can know your real thoughts .And as you know life is real not a reel .
Thank you again.
Hry Mr. b
Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your amazing life..You truly make us part of your EF.
how’s the step counter going? are you up to 10,000 steps a day? That sounds unreachable..
D, Toronto
To hell with the tabloid.
Please keep on writing as long as you wish but please take care of your health.
I am not a regular visitor but visit quite often.
I do get frustrated sometimes (due to the content) but that’s ok.
I won’t visit if I don’t feel like.
I scored 91% and 54% in the memory test
May I ask what was your score in the memory test?
Ravi
amitji–are u scared of alzeimer disese? ur mom died of it? may be u work mentally–u can overcome even if u have gene–u can defy research theory too
Alzheimer’s gene speeds memory declines before 60

By Julie Steenhuysen
CHICAGO (Reuters) - People with the “Alzheimer’s gene” begin to have memory declines tied to aging before they reach 60, even if they have no clinical symptoms of dementia, a U.S. research team reported on Wednesday.
In a separate study, a second team found that people who learned they had the gene were not emotionally scarred by it

ALSO IN THE INTERNET I LOOK SHOW OF KAUN BANEGA CROREPATI. YOU ARE THE BEST ANCHORMAN. YOU READ QUESTIONS VERY BEAUTIFULLY. EXACTLY YOU are CREATED in Order to CONDUCT IT SHOW.
Hope alls well..i am yet to read ur blog of today…hope alls well with u ..take care and wish u well..kindly read my message of yesterday. Blog..i am the first one ..wish to hv ur reply!
Yet it would be desirable to know about a film Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag. I did not yet see him, but read, that this film remake of your immortal and great film Sholay. you in him act part of Amjad Khan. Will you have projects in 2010?
Will you have films yet, where you will play itself in 2010?
I wish you a health, success, love, happiness and all wonderful in life.

I think that although Shahrukh to you colleague, but it seems outside, that you are a father and son. I very like the stage from a film Don,gde your character strikes bargain with gangsters.I like when you banter, and gangsters open a mouth only.

Dear Mr. AB,
Please forgive me if I use this space to reply to Jasmine’s #399 suggestion.
Oh yes, Jasmine, Viren Sahai owns a peace of my heart, too! But to explain my choice I would have to reveal more of my dear husband’s soft core than he would ever approve of in such a public spot. Shekhar’s death would have been too much! He is very American - the more bad guys die, the better; but you should have seen him right after Sholay ended!
Love,
Renate
hi sir, yesterday’s blog was really good but I am too late to respond sorry. there were quite a lot lucky guys to get yellow line . It’s quite late but there is no blog for today. Waiting for ur latest piece of writing as its always a pleasure to read what’s on ur mind.
Love prachi
Hi
I think I am the last one to respond to this.
I thought of doing it here only as I liked the particular line ‘You are as well as you want to be !’
Very aptly describes the state of life, like someone said we are the builders (and destroyers) of our own destiny.
Thanks for sharing these lovely experiences. All the photographs were great except for the grahan ones because all the news papers are full of much better pictures on he front page.
Lots of love
Naresh Kapoor
Dear Amitji,
I am going backwards- i am sure, you won’t be seeing this comment as it is “old”. Loved your pics- could not comment for 2nd pic in London restaurant besides you look very handsome!!!! And shades looks great on you. feel sad to miss your “yellow line” as i could not comment on time. I was on “vacation” with no computers allowed by “family”.
love
Ashesh
Extremely well written post, Amitji. Humourous and frothy. Made me smile a lot.
My compliments.
Hemu Killawala
Sir,
I tried the Face Memory Test … and got 67% and 92 % in the two results shown,,,,
Hi Amitabh,
Great to see you blog. Amazing to note that you devote time to some writing (I have read your dad’s works).
You think our Indian stars (such as yourself, Shah Rukh, Salman (not sure his IQ is capable of understanding), Aamir) who are fairly intelligent apart from having acting and entertainment talents, should do more for our society?
You have the honour of having an audience and a platform from which to make changes. Real changes.
I encourage you to put your thoughts in removing poverty, providing education etc for India. I know you are involved to a good extent, but we would appreciate if you would take it to the next level.
Jai Hind,
Dearest Biggest B
I know commenting on ur old posts is just wasting of time nothing else
but i cant stop myself to comment on ur post.So doing my duty.
with luv

hey sir,
greetings.
i am a fan of your fathers writings and my ever favourite is `madhushala’.and i like it even more when its sung by you in your voice.can i hear it sumwhere or can i download it from somewhere.????
Dear Amitji,
Nice quiz - my score 79% and 73%. Liked both excerpts. Like Woody Allen -
may I suggest that you start to “paint the yellow lines” backwards?
Went to see Harry Potter - please explain the craze to me - I am not a huge fan.
I don’t know what all the fuss is about?!!!! Some good special effects but not that great!
Loved the blog comments. Thanks for sharing.
LOVED, just LOVED the pics. I notice you are holding a pair of glasses in your hands.
Sangita is a regular contributor to the blog!
Speak soon. Good night and God Bless
Love and best wishes
Sangita xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nice shirt. Gorgeous pics, thanks.
Dear Amitji, I’ve just off late tuned in to your blog. I wanna ask if you follow Baba Ramdev’s pranayama. Take care, bye, I wont cease to keep in touch from time to time.
HELLOZZZ BIG B ,HOPE ALL FINE……..
namaste amitji,
namaste amitji,
muje apki ek baat jo mene kahin par padhi thi, aur vo ye ke ap jab younglife me shooting par jate the aur apne children ko saath le jate the to aap apne shocks me coins rakhte the..kyunki bachche to kabhi bhi koi cheez mang bethte hain. aur apki woh baat muje badi pyari lagti thi. ab jab mera bhi ek chota beta hai to main bhi jab esi kisi bhi chotisi baat ka khayal karti hun tab aap ki yaad aa jati hai. mene apke pitaji ka ek kavyasangrah jisme choti choti kavitaon ka sangrah kiya gaya he wah padhithi. muje bahut pasand aeethi. apki adakari aur unki likhavat (shabdo ki adakari)dono hi sarahniy he. mene aaj pehli baar apka blog search kia he. me khushnasib hun ki me apke jese adakar ko dekh saki. aur aap se baat kar saki. thanks. take care.
WOW, I found your site on Google searching for something completely unrelated, and now I’m gonna need to go back and read through the old posts XD So much for my spare time today, but this was a great find
