कुछ लोगों की ऐसी धारणा थी की हिंदी सिनेमा प्रेमी , फिल्म तो हिंदी भाषा में देखते हैं , लेकिन हिंदी लिखने में कतराते हैं . और जिनकी अंग्रेजी कमज़ोर है उन्हें इस बात से नाराज़गी है की क्योंकि वोह अंग्रेजी में इतनी अच्छी तरह नहीं लिख सकते , उनकी बात पढ़ी या सुनी नहीं जाती .
मेरे परिवार के उन बहेनो और बहियों को मै आश्वासन देना चाहता हूँ की उनकी सोच निराधार है . कई दिनों से बिग अड्डा वालों से ये बात चल रही है की वो मेरे ब्लॉग का अनुवाद कई भाषाओँ में करवा कर उसे ब्लॉग पे छापेंगे . परुन्तु ऐसा हुआ नहीं है . कुछ वजह होगी . मै तो इस इंतज़ार में था की यदि यह काम हो ही रहा है तो उसका इन्तेज़ार करना चाहिए . यही वजह है की अब तक मैंने ज्यादा कुछ हिंदी में नहीं लिखा है .
मेरी इस बात को आप सब हिंदी प्रेमी अन्यथा न लें . मै तो इसी प्रयत्न में हूँ की जितना हो सके अपने सभी पढने वालों को उन्ही की भाषा में लिखूं . मुझे सारी देश की भाषाएँ नहीं आतीं . तो यहाँ मेरे हाथ बंध जाते हैं . लेकिन जहाँ तक हो सके गा , में हिंदी में भी लिखता रहूँगा .
आप सभी सदस्यों को मेरा नमस्कार व आभार

My dearest and most loved extended family,
Some of the members have been writing in anguish, of their handicap in not being able to express themselves in English and thereby being deprived of the opportunity of drawing my attention towards them. They exclaim, and rightly so, that those that come on the blog do so because they saw my films; films that were made in Hindi and yet prominence is given to those that write in English.
Their point is valid and justifiable. The server had begun an exercise whereby the blog would be translated in most of the prominent languages of the country. That process has been taking an awfully long time. But the moment I get back I shall initiate talks with them to find out where and why the delay is. Once that process is in place I am certain there shall be no cause for any complaint.

As can be seen there have been some episodes with the fishes ! A marvellous sea lounge in the island of Sentosa was visited today by us, my friend and I, just to take a break from the cooped up atmosphere of the room and this is a part of some of the seaware that we witnessed. Aquariums have been known to be recommended in homes for their benefit of bringing peace calm and harmony. Or so they say. For some it is not recommended at all. Something to do with the stars and astrology, I believe. It is always a joy to witness the glory of nature – a glory that we seldom get a chance to see. The life under the waters is so intriguing and so beautiful and so varied. Just observe the shapes of some of the fishes. The last rather brownish illustration that looks like I missed the fish and snapped the sea weed, is the most interesting. What you see there is indeed the fish. They move and look like an under water plant or foliage. And what about those transparent, blue, mushroom like figures. Truly amazing. They are actually transparent in appearance. It is the peculiar light that falls on them that makes them look like this.

I was most fascinated though by one of the species called the Pharaoh Cuttlefish. Unfortunately I was unable to take a picture of them. They all look like mini elephants with the rear portions fish like. Their heads and the ‘tusks’ and the ‘teeth’ are all elephant like, but they are indeed fish and possessing rather peculiar and interesting qualities !
The literature on them posted outside their containers informed us, that they had the unique ability to change their colours into various shades depending upon the environment they moved in. Nothing very strange about that, the chameleon on land does that too. But the Cuttlefish has another behavioural oddity. One group or family or bunch or community of the Cuttlefish does not permit a member from another community of Cuttlefish to come any where near them, particularly near their ladies. They are fiercely protective of their women folk and when they sense an attempt being made by the male of another community to mate with one of theirs, they assume fierce and violent colours to warn the intruder that they shall be dealt with somewhat harshly.
Now comes the good part.
Intruder, knowing that opposition shall become forbearing on noticing them, changes its colour, with great cunning, into that of the female specie of the opposition party and pretending to be one of their group, surreptitiously slips into their domain past unsuspecting males, and once in, mates with their ladies !!!

I am ending this little story here without any further comment !  And you know why ? Because I want to put this up as an exercise to the FmXt. Were you to be in my position and had you been describing this wonder tale on Cuttlefish, what would you have written after that last exclamation mark above ??

Run wild run crazy. Keep it civil even though we are all adults, but lets have some imaginative inputs.
OOOHHHH.. !!! BOY…!!! This Amitabh Bachchan is going to be most excitedly waiting for all the comments to pour in tomorrow. For once I have turned the tables. Its no longer you that wait up for my blog. Its going to be me waiting for your comment !!

Good night dearies …  as I swim away from the scene of action … Heh.. Heh …Heh !!

    Dear Amitji

    I am so happy to get yet another yellow band from you!..its thrilling to note that despite you so very tight schedule, you do care for us..Furthermore, your reply to me shows that the plans are still on to meet us…Wow…

    Your spontaneity shows the dedication you have to your blog…outside this blog there are many eyeing you in jealousy…

    I read in the times of India Article that Amar Singhji is likely to be fully ok by today and will decide whether or not to continue further more for recuperation in Singapore…I really wish him well..recovering from kidney failure is second life. I pray he get better and better and avoids strenuous compaign hereafter. He needs rest and more time for his family. Disha and Dhristi need their Papa to be healthy for their sake.

    The talk shows these days are really irking me..stars on the TV are only asked about scandals and their past. It is a pity that even people from your own fraternity get into cheap talks…this is not only disgusting, it also shows that they do it just to get attention of their shows…

    Many like me are looking forward to see u on the screen…

    Luv & Regards
    Shankar

    Amitji:

    My Canadian Friends know and love only two Indian actresses: Aishwarya & Lisa Ray.
    And now this young beautiful star Lisa ray has got Cancer. Please ask EF to pray for her. We all need to support her during her trying times.
    Here is the news form Canadian Media and also from her blog:

    Actress Lisa Ray reveals she has incurable cancer.
    Actress Lisa Ray, the green-eyed beauty who starred in the films “Bollywood- Hollywood” and “Water,” has revealed she has incurable cancer.
    The Toronto actress announced on her blog this week she has multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood cells within bone marrow. Ray says she was diagnosed on June 23, and began chemotherapy treatment within days.
    But, as her witty, chatty blog reveals, the 37-year-old remains optimistic. She says she expects she has a long life yet with the disease that is diagnosed in about 2,100 Canadians each year, almost all of them over the age of 60.

    September 7, 2009 by LISA RAY on Her Blog

    http://lisaraniray.wordpress.com/

    A few months ago my bone marrow started sending me messages.
    The signals: I was always exhausted, pale, drained, and completely depleted of red blood cells. The lack of oxygen made me a serial yawner and spacier than a displaced Czarina. Little did I know, but my hemoglobin had fallen to levels where even a dedicated Blood sucker would turn their thoughts to revival. In between work and travel in India this year, I got a routine blood test and the results sent me to the hospital for a blood transfusion.
    But not a reason to stop and, like, change my life?
    The attempt to communicate probably started earlier. Time when I was ‘busy’. Building a career and impersonating myself. Travelling a lot and stock-piling impressions and drama and super hyped destinations and a life in ‘art’. So I couldn’t hear my marrow gently carbonating. Trying to get my attention. Instead of tuning in to my body, I tuned out like a landlocked pirate tuning out the sounds of the sea.
    And then I stopped travelling and returned to Canada. Got myself tested by Dr Susy Lin, landed in emergency and eventually got full membership into the Cancer Club.
    That’s how I found out I have Multiple Myeloma.
    Cancer Club, Multiple Myeloma Division, June 2009.
    aka The Yellow Diaries
    LIVESHOCK: the recurring shock of being alive. More on this later.
    Don’t get me wrong. Its true the deepest crises are moments of great opportunity. An event that shocks you into seeing with heart. A place from which to combine survival and celebration. Our boy Lance Armstrong called his Cancer survivor story: a Journey Back to Life.
    I believe. But right now I’m a Cancer intern, covert social watcher and I’m doing all this against the backdrop of preparing to premiere two films at the Toronto International Film Festival and wondering if I should have cancelled that meeting with that director while bloated up on my ‘roids’ or I should have just come clean. ‘Yes- I have cancer. The meds shift the shape of my body in ways I can’t predict- but I can still perform torridly well and are looks really still that important in showbiz anyways? I have so much more to say now than ever before…’
    Should have said it.
    Didn’t.
    But I’m writing this blog.
    I’m not sure why and that’s probably the best beginning.
    Many people become members of the cancer club. Loads of actors and artists struggle with a the capricious nature of our business. There’s lots of ‘coming home’ stories out there.
    Maybe I’m just finally listening to my marrow.
    I asked around if I should speak openly about getting diagnosed recently with Multiple Myeloma. Some advised me to keep my ‘condition’ a secret as it could negatively affect my career. Buh? I’m plumper, redder, more energetic and wily than ever before- Kiss me like I’ve been kidnapped!
    Tara Maclean, surrogate sister and super talented singer, talked about how the role of an artist is to use every experience- especially the painful ones- and transform them by sharing.
    Laura Simms my NY based professional Story teller/surrogate jewish mother highlighted the ‘pathology of perfection’ which we suffer from in this age. How celebrity culture and media create unrealistic expectations in ourselves and others and how perhaps sharing my experiences in preparing for the Toronto Film Festival juxtaposed with my ongoing chemotherapy and treatments could inform and loosen these expectations.
    Ted Grand reminded me of the power of community and interconnectivity. Ted’s the founder/director of Moksha Yoga and introduced me to the concept of Sangha or a community with a common vision or purpose. Like on the days when your ‘yellow’ wattage is low and the chemo makes you feel like a nauseous mound of subcutaneous fat, well, it’s good to know that there are others feeling shitty in ways which only the Sangha can understand.
    Then there is no getting around this message from Martha Katherine Smith Macgee:
    My husband has Multiple Myeloma. If we had not had Myeloma Awareness and donations in the past, he would not be here after nine years and nine months. Thank you for what you have done and will do for Cancer Awareness.
    http://www.myelomacanada.ca/
    Labelling and categorizing have their perils as well as their uses.
    Sometimes there’s just stop. Find your corner, your own patch from which to speak. And follow the tug.
    The Yellow Diaries. Remission-Transmission. TIFF.
    Besides. I like to work from this place right now. It’s easy to find.

    Thank you Amitji & EF

    hellooo…

    At the heart of each of us, whatever our imperfections, there exists a silent pulse of perfect rhythm., a complex of wave forms and resonances, which is absolutely individual and unique, and yet which connects us to everything in the universe.

    Sir!

    I would like to draw you attention to your diligent effort to reply to reply comments. It looks like you ended up replying people some cases four times for the same comment
    I myself got two replies for same comment. I am not sure what visual interface you have when reply to comments – but I am sure that it is not showing you that you already replied to a particular comment.
    Therefore I suggest you to take a look at day 483 comments and your replies using browser. You will see want I mean. It will surely take you a solid Decade to finish up the task!

    Not that I am complaining about me getting two yellow strips – more the merrier, I surely hope multiple yellow strips are by accident and not by intention!

    God Bless!

    Good to see you taking a break and visiting Sentosa. Thats a great place to unwind and any one who visits that will be thrilled and amazed at the way Singapore government is able to turn a small island into one of the greatest tourist attraction. As far as the aquaraium is concerned, it equally enjoyable experience to see that. I do recollect what went through my mind when i made a few visits there

    Thanks

    Hello Bachchanji,
    It is GREAT to see you in the jungle of web. I’m a great fan of yours. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that I’ve watched and every movie of yours. :)
    This is my FIRST time comment on your blog, sir. Actually I need your help for my volunteer work.

    Actually, I will be a Unite for Sight volunteer in Orissa, India during Dec. 21st - Dec. 28th. For this program I need to raise at least $ 1500 by Nov. 21st to help those in need. So I thought if you can donate to help.

    Unite For Sight (www.uniteforsight.org) is a nonprofit organization that is the world’s leader in socially responsible, effective volunteering and also a leader in providing high quality,cost-effective care to the world’s poorest people. I am asking you to help me make a significant impact by giving a donation in support of my fundraising efforts for the organization. Unite For Sight works very hard to provide high quality eye care by applying best practices in eye care, public health, volunteerism, and social entrepreneurship.
    Todate, Unite For Sight has provided eye care services to 800,000patients, including more than 25,000 sight-restoring surgeries. Iwould be grateful for your support of Unite For Sight to provide eyecare to many more patients living in extreme poverty.

    My goal is to raise $ 1500 for Unite for Sight. $50is the average cost of sight-restoring cataract surgery at Unite For Sight’s partner eye clinics in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. $250provides sight restoring surgery for 5 patients living in extremepoverty. You may donate through my online fundraising page at https://maestropay.com/uniteforsight/volunteers/ref/neilpatel .

    Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I look forward to whatever support you can provide.

    Neel Patel :)

    P.S: - I hope I am First today. :)

    Thank you for responding to me yesterday… I am 26 years old and starting to see various colors of life and freaking out on how to face the problems… Your gracious advise of “face the problem square on ..” will now be my motto.

    I love the way your family holds up to life… Aishwarya is my role model…

    Please give my love to Aishwarya… and please give me your blessings…

    The pictures of the fishes you posted in the blog are very nice… Good night Amit ji.

    Dear Amitji
    I visited the same place with my family and am glad u took some time out today with AS too…

    Wat can we say abt the cuttlefish!…u have put us in a dilema..and u also want us to be civil..

    I saw three cuttlefish wrapping themselves around each other. I’ve never seen this behaviour from cuttlefish before, and the electric blue colour of their frills in the glare of my strobe was absolutely beautiful. (I have seen cuttlefish face stretching, but that’s a different story). The cuttlefish were aware we were there, but unabashed by our presence - they barely backed away from us, so intent were they on mating. It was a truly great end to a dive and definitely makes me want to do more dusk dives.

    Amitji:

    I like the aquarium story. I love watching National Geographic. You may already know about this but for the benefit of EF I am going to mention this. BBC had made a very nice Nature series called Planet Earth. It took them four years and many hours of labour and off course millions of dollars/pounds in making. I love watching it. My friends and relatives from India come here and watch part of it and buy it for their family and friends and off course for their school going kids.

    Please say hi to Jayaji.
    Love

    Dear Mr. Bachchan ji,

    now it is done! Madhushala translated into German (Haus des Weins) is printed. Tomorrow I will get the books by publisher (Draupadi Verlag, Heidelberg) and will be proud to send you the very first exemplar to the adress, given by Mrs. Rosy Singh.

    And wow! Great pictures, love it!

    Sincerely yours

    Wonderful pictures….

    Aquarium is not only recommended by Astrologers but it has got importance in Fang Sui too.

    Heard first time about Pharaoh Cuttlefish will try to find out some more information but I guess their originally these fishes belong to Germany…ha ha just kidding..

    Regards,

    oh yipeee
    i am first. Gosh have to type fast cant think, havent read your post properly either.Your visit to sentosa reminds me of how artificial that is, I live in the Seychelles and get to see so much of the sealife free and at large here, I have woken up in a beach chalet and stepped out and have nearly tripped over some tiny moving rocks which turned out to be litle turtles that hae just hatched out of thier eggs and are lookign for the rays of sunlight to guide them to the sea.

    Oh Your cuttle fish story for sure proves that we ‘humans” do for sure belong to the animal kingdom, cause isnt this how infiltration of any kind takes place.

    what proof do we have that the outside male slips in with “unsuspecting” females?!
    Its probably the wise females that “let” this happen to maintain the diversity in the genepool, hence preparing the brood for better survival against environmental odds! typicalish male statement of assuming the female to be unsuspecting! ;)
    where as its believed (mostly by the hetero gametic population read males) that females are anything but :D

    I just have to say good for the lone soldier making his way into enemy territory..I wish i could do that..haha…I don’t understand why guys think they have to be so overly protective/possessive about their women…i’ve been at clubs and just chatting up with a beautiful lady, when her boyfriend rush to her “rescue” and pulls her away..can’t men and women not just have normal conversation? does it always about to be about one pursuing the other? There’s this primal instinct in us that forces us to be overly protective and posessive…can a man just walk up to a lady and have a pleasant conversation? I guess that’s the true question? what’ the intention? But really It’s up to your partner to decide….so the true question lies with your partner, not the stranger…

    ok, I looked up cuttlefish on the net and it says they’re master of disguise! Its got green blood and 3 hearts and able to change colors in a flash! Sounds like an alien of some sort. But the habits, now thats another thing. I will refrain from commenting on its preying habits. I would love to see yr take on it though

  75. Daisy M says:

    Dear Mr Bachchan

    Oh I am sooooooo glad you have been communing with the cuttlefish (and other dishy fishys) today. I truly believe that the wonders of nature are immensely restorative to the human spirit… I always endeavour most earnestly to visit places of wild and natural glory on my travels… even to the extent of voyaging to places nobody else wants to visit in search of animals that nobody else has heard of! :)

    But to return to your piscatorial challenge … dearest Mr Bachchan all I can say about the mating strategies of the Cuttlefish is… you should thank all the gods that you were not born into that aquatic species… :)

    Despite your humungous acting prowess you would have had EXTREME difficulty disguising your gorgeous self as the female of the species… your masculinity would have shone through loud and proud and prodigious and outrageous … while all the effeminate fishies were cleaning up with the ladies!

    (One of your chief so-called rivals springs to mind… I shall say no more….!)

    So give thanks, girls, that Mr Bachchan is not a Cuttlefish… though I dare say that had he managed to fool the dumb bull males and sneaked past their radar we would MOST certainly have welcomed him into our harem.. but possibly wreaked even more havoc on him than the cuttlefish chaps could have managed…

    With all my love and happiest imagination, Daisy

    I am delayed due to supervisor problems.
    The show I am airing now has just had the dialogue that ‘Something is fishy’ so I will say that something is fishy with nature in this case!
    I loved the photos. I am lucky to have gone scuba diving in the Red Sea and saw amazing fish. Snorkeling in Bali I loved the blue starfish. I better go because the supervisor may come back any time.

    Hi Amitji,

    BIG HELLO AND GOOD EVENING FROM LONDON SIR.

    I am not sure if anyone has continued the cuttlefish ending. I know nothing about them.
    Here goes anyway:

    Once they have mated with the ladies, they must change colours and get spotted by the males and get chased off or even killed!

    It would be good to know the answer.

  81. Manish Bengani says:

    Dear Sir,
    I had posted the following in Yesterday’s post also, but u probably missed it. Kindly reply today Sir.

    Have had the honour of getting your ashirvad & a couple of yellow lines to my comments. Today is more of a request. An earnest request. Sir, I’m a student of International Management Institute, Delhi pursuing my MBA here. It features in the top 15 bschools of India. I’m a part of the Social Club in my college.

    We plan to organize a day long summit sometime in October where we would call NGO’s, eminent people from industry known for CSR, etc, to talk on issues like education for underprivileged, special chldren, women rights, save the girl child etc. With the objective to motivate future managers to help the society as well.

    Sir, my request is if you could grace the occassion for sometime, as per your schedule. The dates aren’t fixed and it can be managed as per your schedule in India. I have read your blog from the start and on many occassions I have read about your generosity - helping those who need treatment, operations, or buildng schools, buildings for girls. In one blog, you talked about how Jaya aunty had asked you to meet a Special child in a hospital in Mumbai who wished to meet you before dying, and you met him.

    If you could speak for even 10 minutes on the NEED TO HELP THE UNDERPRIVILEGED, it would go a far way in motivating about 400 students on our Campus who would in turn help 1000’s in need, tomorrow. Please accept my request. I know this is not the correct way of inviting someone. I would soon write a letter and post it to your Mumbai address.

    Had i been among your close friends, family members probbaly you would have agreed depending on your schedule. I’m not either of them, But i guess i’m a member of your EF. Please oblige me.

    Yours Sincerely,
    Manish Bengani




  82. Dr Anshu says:

    Ahem! What a fishy post!!!!

    And after the exclamation mark we proceed thus…..

    The camouflage technique works well on Amitabh Bachchan’s blog as well. When you are a new entrant, the regulars either ignore you or are wary of you. And God forbid, if AB sends you a yellow line, or worse, a yellow paragraph….. watch them turn various hues.. green with envy, red with rage and yellow like the journalists AB loves talking about!

    You don’t want them to get upset, do you? So dearie, what do you do… become one of them! One day send a nice note to Rochelle, the next an intellectual one to Satyam, the third, ask Daisy about her cats, on the fourth answer Abhaya’s quiz correctly and the next ask dear ol’ Rinku Di (the newly christened one) how she feels when so much love is suddenly showered on her. Simple!

    Now you are one of the FmXt … one of the EF! You have managed to enter the hallowed portals of Big B’s Bigadda! DONE!

    (Sorry folks! My attempt at humour is limp…. no malice intended… just trying to rise up to Amitji’s expectations and failing miserably!)

    ‘Cuttly’ Love to all of you!

The manner in which you have gone about narrating ur day out 2day is as close as being there with you, even closer-seeing it through ur eyes - how much more fortunate can we be? Have the Lion King on the other side of this mail and that we are part of everything he does, in his thoughts al the tym!! We are indeed blessed and fortunate.

    I am not one that thinks on their feet, so for the rest of the write-up I shall comment later.

  84. Mallika Sengupta says:

    Dear Amitji,
    Its really nice and appreciable to see your article in hindi language. I would like to share with you that there are Indians whose mother tongue is not being Hindi, they are scared to express in Hindi. Also there are some people who know Hindi very well, however they are ashamed of speaking in Hindi which is their mother tongue thinking that it might not be so prestigious to speak in monther tongue, rather to speak in English. So once again hats off to you to encourage all Indians to speak and write in national language.

    Wonderful pictures by the way. I cannot swim much so I will never get to admire the deep colourful beauties of our oceans.

    I have asked a couple of times before, can you confirm the following:

    - What is the longest time you have taken to record a shot?
    - Have you ever made up the lines and had them passed for the film without objection?
    - What is the funniest prank you have played on set with other actors/ directors?

    Keep the blogs rolling.

  89. $unita says:

    Respected Amit ji,

    Here is my trial to complete your essay…

    “Intruder, knowing that opposition shall become forbearing on noticing them, changes its colour, with great cunning, into that of the female specie of the opposition party and pretending to be one of their group, surreptitiously slips into their domain past unsuspecting males, and once in, mates with their ladies !!!”

    The mating takes place head-to-head by locking their tentacles and … … … The female fertilizes an average of 1500 eggs. The male cuttlefish aggressively guards the female until she spawns. The female cuttlefish deposits her eggs in clusters hanging from rock surfaces and the male cuttlefish will block the entrance of the female’s den until she lays the eggs. It takes about 14 days for the eggs to develop.

    Thank you,
    $unita

Well this one member of the fmXt.. Jasmine of London .. will not be playing into it! Not that you care, but I am the epitome of decorum and will remain so!! Aherrm.. ; )

    Thank you for the exquisite pictures, a treat for the visual senses and I am delighted you visited the Aquarium I cannot imagine anyone would not experience the therapeutic benefits of aquatic life after being cooped up indoors as you rightly say – Cuttlefish and their solemn duties notwithstanding!!

    Dear Lion King and my friends of EF

    Now that all in this family know my weakness, let me share. I went to Trieste a small place in Italy and went crazy on seeing so many colorful fishes being bought from the port and sent to the natural aquarium out there. I spend 2 days by visiting the place, until my partner informed me that there are other places which we may also try to see !! Next national destination is Goa, I just eat, sleep, think and dream fish there. Amazing truly.
    Our mother nature is the best designer and fishes are the best dressed one on earth.
    Love Mousumi, who is going to again dream fish tonight.




  103. Vishal says:

    Hello Amitji,

    I have been a regular replier of your blogs but have never ever received the most awaited reply from you.

    I have seen the cattlefish too and have studied them.
    Giving you a little more info about Cattlefish:
    ————
    The males signal to the females their willingness to mate by raising two arms. If the other cuttlefish also raises two arms, it is a male and must be dealt with accordingly. Both males then begin to duel with bright colour plays, until one of both competitors leaves the field. The bright zebra colour, in which a cuttlefish is often displayed, signals willingness to mate to a female cuttlefish. What is very fascinating: While this signals willingness to mate to a female, it also signals willingness to fight to another male cuttlefish!

    In some Sepia species, during the period of mating, there are also fights between males, during which they try to push the adversary away or to turn him on the back to show their strength. Sometimes the adversary is also strongly bitten, but usually the cuttlefish in the inferior position will wisely withdraw ejecting ink.
    ——-

    It would be cool if there was a video out there that would show us the above story in action!! I will let you know if I find one.

    All I could find is a video of the cuttlefish mating:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XghGFEb8KrE

    Vishal.

    For AB and Renate,

    Sir, I am repeating this message as perhaps it came in too late on the page and I want Renate to read it. Thank you.

    Dear Renate,

    If you are reading this, do reply…

    Professionals are conditioned to mathematical thinking. Which means we tend to translate thoughts and ideas into balanced equations. It works in the world of determinate sciences. It gets complex with indeterminates where we deal with derivatives.

    Life sometimes goes into a free fall. Some recover, some don’t. Those who do recover scale newer heights because they are not afraid of it anymore. Those who don’t sink into an abyss of bromides and punchlines…

    Guess what I think I have got addicted to these free falls… every some time I let go… and then swing back like a bungee!!!

    Cheers,

  117. Naresh Bhatt - London says:

    Good Evening Amitji.

    One more guess:

    Does the male die after doing his bit and leave the female to do the rest and suffer the consequences from her clan? Basically the rival male gets into enemy territory, firing his gun, runs out of steam after some passion and has a heart attack and dies as the excitement of his achievement gets to him.

    Excuse the vulgarity, I hope it causes no offence, you did ask for us to use our imaginations.

    NB

    Dearest Buddy,

    Wish and pray you are in the best of your health.

    After mating, they join their group and become their FMXT and grow their family more.

    Good you took a break and went out. It gives a great change of atmosphere.
    The fishes are lovely but not lovelier then you. We can see them only few seconds but our eyes get stuck when we start looking at you and get dumb stuck to get hooked on and on to you.

    I have an aquarium at home since 20 years, my favorite are Golden and Angel fish.
    I keep fighter fish also some time since it changes its beautiful colors.

    Sir, unfortunately, we human beings don’t have an option of changing colors neither does exist such human community, else human beings would have become wanderers moving from one community to another, changing one color to another and doing nothing except mating.

    Fishes are so beautiful and yet some of the most dangerous and poisonous in the world like Box jellyfish, Stone fish & Puffer fish. One String ray fish had caused death to Steve Irwin, one of the most animal lovers.

    Warm regards,
    Kabeer

    Lovely pictures of the aquarium..! If only us humans could quietly go about our business like the fishes! When are you returning to amchi mumbai…??




  124. Amit B - Singapore says:

    Dear Bachchan ji
    Saadar Pranaam & Charan sparsh
    Seems most of the EF … has already written stuff and just waiting to paste as soon as ur blog is posted….. a bit saddening honestly ..
    First 60 comments and just one or 2 odd people have replied to your question abt the cuttle fish …
    Anyhow … i would say that humans were the most cunning animal … but in some areas we do have competition .. like in this case of Cuttle fish ..ha !!
    May be some human had bitten the ancestors of the cute species of cuttle fish and they got infected and a mutated gene over the years ….ultimetely leading to this cunning attitude…:) what says u ?
    Best Regards and have a safe and early return back home…
    P.S. - if u get the opportunity … do try the thai coconut ( not the malaysian one ) . The thai coconut is called BOTAK COCONUT … ( is like BALD from outside … and Botak means BALD ). The thai coconut is very very nice.. do try it before u leave singapore. Abb aapney mauka toh diya nahi milney kaa… nahi toh hum hee apkey liye SATTE PEY SATTA wale style mein Tarbooz ki jagah coconut ley aatey :) ….just joking …
    Take care and always wishing you all the best

  126. Raju Ramchndani says:

    Dear Amitji

    After that last exclamation mark I would have written
    “Some fish have all the luck”

    If it was an Aussie Cuttlefish it would have said “Hello Mate”

    I have read somewhere that Cuttlefish mate head to head. So kind of “Ankhon Ankhon mein, baat hone do”

    Sleep well Sir

    Love Always

  131. sharmishta says:

    Tale of the male cuttle fish looks like a fast one pullled by u on some unsuspecting females in the blog!I have visited Sentosa island’s Aquarium and its just marvellous i liked the Sharks a lot ,simply awe inspiring they looked, floating right above us, oh it was scary as all along I was wondering what if the glass panel breaks!
    Never mind if Oudin lost, she showed flashes of brilliance for a beginner.Was a moment of pride for India as both mahesh and paes have reached the Finals opposite each other.But I am very interested to watch the singles more than anything else even the prelims to the Finals has such a great draw, too exciting.
    Today’s been an over worked depressing day for me ,one of those days when nothing goes right inspite of the best efforts put in but then there’s always another day to counteract the previous one and hoping that it is a pleasant one .On that note, good night Mr. B and take care

You are really asset to the country as well as to the mankind.

    Hello Mr. Bachchan,

    If I have the time, I love to read your Blog.. You`re so close to us and your writing like I feel you`re on my side. Not every actor is so close with his fans and I thank you so much for this opportunity..
    Germany is so far away from India, but you must know I watch every new movie of you.. I realy enjoy it.. I invite No-Bollywood Fans to watch your movies, and they are realy enthusiastic of you after watching the movies..
    Maybe I would be have never have the chance to meet you personaly one day, but you have to know I admire you so much..

    A lot of regards and a big hug, from Karla (Gummersbach-Germany, near of Cologne)




  139. rochelle says:

    The fish that I recognize is the anglfish in the third photo. I like the tails of the fish above them.But that seeweed type fish is fascinating. I never heard about the astrology related to aquariums.
    OK I got it!
    The Cuttle fish could star in the aquarium version of ‘Some Like it Hot’ just like Jack Lemmon amd Tony Curtis snuck in with the ladies!




  140. Carola says:

    Dear Mr B, am so glad you were able to get out a bit today and enjoy the beautiful Sealounge. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures..and yes I do find watching fish very soothing.

    Love the way you ended today’s blog…
    What would I say???…
    How God/Nature doesn’t judge just man…
    This ability of the Pharaoh Cuttlefish to Change it’s colours and sneak in to mate with the female is a NATURAL ability that was given to it by it’s Maker…
    So..oo..he is only doing what comes naturally for him…
    To say it is good or bad..is to judge by our standards..and who are we to infringe our societal mores on this wonderful creature. So the moral of my story is that in life, actions by themselves are just actions…it is we who as a result of our culture, studies, beliefs decide whether it is acceptable or not…
    On a Lighter note…
    “Way to Go Mr Cuttlefish…you sneaky devil”
    Sleep well my dear
    All my Love
    Carrie

  145. Lily D'Penha-Frankfurt-Germany says:

    My beloved Mr. Bachchan,

    Hahaha….What a lovely, fishy post! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) Someone’s asking for trouble. How I would love to continue that sentence after the exclamation mark, but you Smarty has asked us to keep it civil and so I am asking myself, how do I put it down in words now? Not happening. I am not going to fall prey to that trap. Sorry, have to disappoint you. Did I just hear you say “Spoilsport”? :) :) :) :) :)

    I would much rather have it that the male species is intruded by the disguised female species and then I would elaborate further and let you know what I have in mind for “Mr. Amitabh Bachchan Pharoah Cuttlefish” :) :) :) :) :)

    Thanks for that tutorial though on the cuttlefish. Made for some great reading. And I loved the pictures. I had the pleasure of experiencing some great species of fish during my visit to Egypt. The Red Sea holds a treasure and I think it’s a diver’s delight. This beautiful natural treasure can even be observed while standing in the sea just knee-deep with bare eyes, as the waters are crystal-clear.I am glad you are giving yourself and your friend some good outing. Enjoy and keep well.

    Love and more-Lily D’Penha-Frankfurt-Germany.

    Dear Dr Anshu ,

    You are absolutely correct!!




  147. Dr. Amit Ranjan says:

    Hi after a long time.

    On your poll. I said ‘no’.

    On the contrary cinema makes us more cultured. Violence was long born before cinema came into existence. It depends up on the mind which sees the cinema; it can extract good or bad from it depending up on its predisposition. Cinema is like water which takes the color and shape of the pot you pour into.
    (I am in a different mood today to give my comments about the FMXT ha ha…may be some time later).

    Thanks & regards,

    Amit




  148. leena says:

    Among those species of cuttlefish, the ability to change body color/camouflage is a way of ensuring survival of ones own genes, so if the guarding cuttlefish is dumb and lets in a male in female disguise, then kudos to the smarter cuttlefish. Let his progeny be produced and hope they survive outwitting dumber fish. Survival of the fittest/cleverest. That is the way the sea of life roils, ma friend.
    Ciao Leena fm Washington DC.

    I’ll keep the story about the fishes very civil and say that thanks to the fact that the male fish from an opposing group mates with the ladies of the other group, the offspring is healthy and genetic diversity is maintained. The wisdom of nature at its best. :)

  154. rachana says:

    hi amitji,
    that was an interesting tale of the cuttle fish . seems like it has been taken sttraight out of the indian movie where the guy tries to woo the girl and get past her parents (usually ,though here it is the husband themselves) by dressing up as girls and in Indian movies its just for a kiss but since this is a foreign movies all of the work is done . u wrote nothing about the female wether she is a willing partner or it is a rape scene . if it is done willingly then dhan tan tan the husband comes and sees them in his water bed and thers a fight in which i suppose the bechaara hero is beaten up and the heroine stays back and watches . OHGOD this has gone too far . i shud stop . i can see u yawning out there
    but i hope u r not going take lessons from the cuttle fish . but wow what a story .
    love
    take care

    dear amitji,

    greetings, great to know that the blog will be translated in other languages too, this is really welcome, as per the cuttlefish one can only say nice to be a male cuttlefish in the aquatic world, having fun at the cost of others on the sly in the world of the cuttlefish is adventurous as well as exciting, even animals r designed by nature to be cunning and cassonovas, in one word nature is amazing, we can leave the rest to imagination only,

  159. Satinder says:

    Hi Amitji,
    you may have seen on the news….delhi deluged… and major link roads to gurgaon roads under knee deep water…harrowing time for the commuters! some of my boarders stranded !!
    My cab on a rescue mission got submerged on a road that had turned into a canal!! Chaos all around with everyone , including the traffic cops, with trousers etc rolled up trying to assist the hapless .. Phew!!
    Thank God home now… meals packed , hot beverages served
    And as I await another morning, on to my favourite time with the EF!
    The cuttle fish masquerades… keeps the ladies also happy..he he!!

    I appreciate your gesture in trying to communicate in as many languages as possible…
    There are may be some others also like me among your EF, who have always enjoyed Hindi movies , lyrics music , etc Yet our major language of effective communication is a kind of “desi” English…. peculiar to India, & Indians.. a mix of the dominant regional local dialect + English…

    for me it has always been Hindi + English… or if i am among punjabis
    Punjabi + English…. unfortunately, i am not proficient in writing or reading the scripts in hindi or gurumukhi.. so ashamed ,,yet an honest confession




  160. Moonie says:

    Dear AmitJi,
    Here is a pic of the cuttlefish http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/storage/animals/520×260/Pharaoh_cuttlefish.jpg
    Some more info on cuttlefish
    A cuttlefish moves by undulating a delicate fringe that runs along its entire body, but for a quick getaway it expels a forceful stream of water through its siphon. When threatened, cuttlefish can produce a covering cloud of ink called sepia. Long ago, this dark-brown ink was used for writing and drawing.
    They also create skin patterns such as stripes, and spots.
    Lifespan is about 240 days.

    I can think of some more masala story to add after the ! but I’d keep it to myself :) :D




  161. Sarah says:

    ha ha ha…I never realized we humans shared so much in common with anyone except dear old chimps but cuttle fish amazed me… woww… thats a definate human approach :)))

    good night Sir all the way from Ireland




  162. Nitin says:

    Another interesting fact on fish. There are a variety of freshwater fish commonly called “Fighter”. Their female are supposed to be very aggressive and if you keep 2 female together they will fight till the time one is dead. The male are comparatively calm as compared to the female of the fish.

    What say Amit ji? Btw I have recently started reading your blog and honestly its a readers’ delight the same way your baritone is to someone’s ears.

    May god bless you & your family…. I am a huge Abhishek fan right from his refugee days…needless to say that you are for me the best that has ever happened to Indian cinema….I still rate Agnipath & Main Azaad Hoon as a couple of your very good films. Need to watch Last Lear though….wow this went on from fish to cinema….the power of random thoughts.

    Cheers!

    NDH
    How delightful it is to read that you visited Sentosa Island and were particularly charmed by the fish. I am thrilled to see the photos of the fish.

    Pharoah cuttlefish belong to the family of orchids and squids. That explains look alike tusks etc. They have a life span of 240 days and mate at about mid span. The female dies after laying the eggs and securing them safely for hatching. To deal with the knotty part of your query … needs some humor and wit.. which I am generally devoid of … perhaps Rochelle, Daisy, Jasmine, Lottus, Anat , Shanker, Mousumi, Satyam, Sharmila etc. should be able to give some witty answers. So let us wait for tomorrow…ha ha

    Were you able to understand the response comments to 506 in French .

    My email folder is full and I think I should clear it tonight. Not watching tennis or anything worthwhile on Tv, for quite some time….generally missing my brother in HKG and son In Congo. But the blog is cheerful enough and wonderful. May the Almighty bless you.

    Let me also muster up the courage and request you for an autograph to my mail id on my b’day on 27 th Nov. You are planning to release an edition of Madhushala that day, being your father’s birthday. So , could you tuck this also into a corner of your memory.

    So hullo and good morning. Have a great day

    Dear Mr. AB,

    I wonder about the brains of female cattlefish! The ratio seems pretty skewed. When male fish uses their “brain” - that must be cute!
    Why?? First because it’s a rarity :-) AND then they MUST look irresistable after transformation. I imagine them entering the domain singing and dancing on -

    Mere Angane Mein Tumhara Kya Kaaam Hain…………..

    AND Mr. Charming-handsome-cuttlefish would “do it” with Ms.MUCH-IN-DEMAND-cuttlefish. Guess what, she just preferred wit over force and he just showed he chooses wit over fight - PERFECT!!!

    What happens then? He goes back changing colors, happily, teasing those BIG cuttlefishes..swimming in the same water..in the opposite direction…just like Mr. B…who chicken out in that water!

    Have fun…Stay warm and safe…

    Love ***splashing lots of water***

    Dear Sir,

    Lovely post & wonderful to see you in this element….it only makes you more endearing!

    As you had mentioned sometime back - JAR, JORU, ZAMEEN - the 3 causes to which all disputes can be traced…obviously over here its the JORU or the women again. I have many observations on this!

    1. By changng colours the opposition does deceive the males - but what about the women - whilst mating do they not know better!!
    2. If the answer to point 1 is “NO” then lady fishes are indeed a very sexually liberated species.
    3. I can conclude - lady cuttlefish indeed likes variety. She is the equivalent of the male sentiment that says “Roz Ghar ki Daal nahin chalti”. They like variety!!

    Also there is a short story which will help us in understanding the character of cattle fish - though the story is through the eyes of male human beings !!

    Alex & his wife went to the state fair and one of the first exhibits they stopped at was the breeding bulls. They went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said, ‘ THIS BULL MATED 50 TIMES LAST YEAR’

    Alex’s wife playfully nudged him in the ribs …Smiled and said, ‘He mated 50 times last year.’

    They walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said, ”THIS BULL MATED 150 TIMES LAST YEAR’

    Alex’s wife gave him a healthy jab and said, ‘WOW~~That’s more than twice a week! ………..You could learn a lot from him.’

    They walked to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said, in capital letters, ‘THIS BULL MATED 365 TIMES LAST YEAR’

    Alex’s wife was so excited that her elbow nearly broke his ribs, and said, ‘That’s once a day. You could REALLY learn something from this one.’

    Alex looked at her and said, ‘Go over and ask him if it was with the same old cow.’

    Since then, Alex’s condition has been upgraded from critical to stable, and he should eventually make a full recovery….

    Love n Respect

  181. Shuaib Gafur says:

    …Those Pharaoh Cuttlefishes! What a bunch of lucky so and so! Wow, the world of nature and its inhabitants are truly something to marvel at.

    But did you know that the female cuttlefish dies shortly after giving birth to the offspring - yet before she dies, she makes a lengthy journey into the depths of her territorial den to ensure the safety of her eggs from potential harm until they hatch by themselves?! Tragic end to what was merely started off by a male’s need!

    Could be a effective birth control should the Pharaohs realize the consequence?!

    Sorry if I could not come out with anything wittier!

    On the contrary, my two goldfishes, Jodha and Akbar, have sadly past away within a two days from each other. Akbar died of a lonely heart.

    Take care and love

    Dear sir,

    from a professional point of view , unlike other countries ,all our internal indian correspondence in india, is in english Why is that we do not write in Hindi or regional language ? All small , medium , big companies / corporates communicate in english

    english is the IN thing. Any decent job interview , socialising, business meetings, seminars, conferences, communication with your spouse , children, requires english.

    it is a nightmare for anyone, who cannot speak english

    your decision to blog in hindi and regional raguages is a step in the right direction. it is important to give their due and equal importance to our hindi and regional languages also

    For AB, Archana, Lottus and Gang,

    My answer is at 68. Fish don’t mate.

    The female leaves the eggs in a dump in some nice cozy spot and the male reaches them on his own. There is no mating. No need to change colors etc for mating.

    AB knows his Agatha Christie, he has created decoys in the story!

    Thats my take!

    Hello Amitji…I’m from San Francisco California.

    I simply ENJOYED your sense of humour regarding the cuttlefish…..I guess its not considered shameful to be exposed among cuttlefish…wondering if we humans could literally change colors like that but we do have very colorful imaginations even if we don’t put it in practice due to social norms……tv serials show a side of that imagination don’t you think?…..its sooooooo funny. i couldn’t stop laughing reading your imaginative sense of humour…loved loved loved and laughed laughed laughed reading this blog….its one of those days that made me smile again…..like the blog no. 504 ending story…I also shared it with my didi in Bahrain. It means a lot to laugh at your jokes….it really means a lot. My husband says “Wow…he’s still very ROSHIK”..( in bangla it means having an interesting sense of humour)…simply love you.

    My Dearest Mr. Bachchan,

    That was a wonderful post and I loved your description of these beautiful photos of the fishes.
    Life under water is just charming and it always amazes and dazzles me. I love it when they show videos or documentaries about it on TV, but I am never interested in having an aquarium at my home.
    I am not a superstitious person, but I have grown up hearing that fishes at home are black omen and bring bad luck and even when my brother brought an aquarium at home I was rather suspicious of the fishes, and iam glad they are gone now.

    It was an interesting story that of the cuttlefish and I can imagine this your wicked laugh of excitement at the end of your post in anticipation of the wild comments of your EF.
    I can imagine it that one of the females would just fall in love with the stranger, and when his true identity is revealed a struggle between the two communities begins like in Romeo and Juliet… :)

    Iam happy for you that you had an enjoyable time with your friend watching these wonderful world of the fishes.
    Have a peaceful time,
    And thank you for sharing the photos…

    Goodnight,

    With my love,

  209. Vikas Murarka says:

    Dear Mr B,

    The cuttlefish mates with the ladies and dies. Well that is the fate of the male cuttlefish. More importantly during mating the cuttlefish changes to a colour that is very visible and informs the others of it’s intentions thereby giving him away.
    More facts about cuttlefish.
    1. They are infact not fishes at all, they are related to snails and garden slugs.
    2. They not only have the ability to change colour but even the texture of their skin.
    3. They have been known to hypnotise their prey by changing colours rapidly so they are easier to catch.
    4. Even with the art of changing colours their best defence is the ink that they release when agitated.
    Enough of lessons in National Geographic, but truly cuttlefish are a beauty. It’s amazing to watch them change colours.
    Have a great time in Singapore.

  210. Lovina Srivastava, Canada says:

    BTW, your article today and pictures revived my memories of our visit to Vancouver Aquarium a few years ago, 4 years ago I think. It is Canada’s largest aquarium and I remember how amazed I was to see huge transparent jelly fish move around with such grace and poise. I don’t remember the names of all the different fish but there was one that looked like an old unshapely log but was a ferocious fish waiting for its prey.

    Have you seen ‘Finding Nemo’? I have watched it many many times with my kids and I didn’t realize how realistic they had made it until I visited that aquarium. I had no realization before that day about the extent of beauty that lies in the real under-water world. And then I actually started to appreciate the visuals in Finding Nemo so much better.

    There is so much that is around us that we know nothing about….and probably will never know…but shall keep trying….

    The first lady he swims across looks at him (see picture)

    and remarks “oh grandma, what big eyes you have!”

    “The better to see you, my dear” he smiled.

    The second lady he swam up to, looked at him and cried out, (see picture)

    “Oh grandma, what a big proboscis you flaunt!”

    “The better to nose you out, my dear,” he leered.

    The third group of ladies he sashayed up to, cried out,

    “O Dadiji what graceful undulations, what a wonderful dancer you are!”

    “Oh, it’s nothing, ladies!” he replied.

    “First let me sing you this fun song I know, “Mere Angne Mein,” and after that…

    who knows what fun dances we might do together”?

    Hi Amitji,
    Read the story….glad to see the pictures and your take on them.

    One mistake though…..I thought that the plural of FISH is FISH…not fishes….
    Please correct me if I am wrong…..

    always happy to read your blog.

    My heart goes out to those who feel excluded because of the language issue. But these are still people who actually make it to your blog. Imagine how much worse the situation is for all those lovers of classic Bombay cinema who found themselves left out to dry one day when ‘Bollywood economics’ altered everything by privileging the multiplexes and then making films solely for these audiences. Hence the tickets became too expensive for so many viewers who could not access multiplexes but also the ’subjects’ became alien for them as well. Hindi cinema has been extinct in so called ‘B’ and ‘C’ centers for decades. In the meantime single/double screens find it harder to survive. These days we sometimes see inflated numbers coming in from smaller centers. The reason usually is the opening of a new multiplex in that region that artificially increases the gross. I am launched into polemics on these points forever but essentially the cinema of the 90s in Bombay was brought about by shrinking the audience base. The numbers that emerged were in a sense deceptive because while the grosses were going up the audience base was shrinking. In this decade things have changed somewhat, certainly many have realized the importance of at least trying to make universal films. We saw with Ghajini how a truly universal hit, i.e. in every kind of center, was so much ahead of the ‘blockbuster’ competition (which includes the major films of every top star) both in terms of initial and also for the final gross. So that market is still out there even if few are willing to play to it. Bombay cinema is the one irrational cinema in India that actually depletes its numbers as opposed to maximizing them! Of course the self-congratulatory bourgeois audiences of upmarket India are all too happy with this arrangement. They have somehow deluded themselves that they are watching works of art even as those ‘downmarket’ folks supposedly just want ‘violence’ (I call this the ‘auntie’ argument). I am unable to see eye to eye with most people I discuss Hindi cinema with these days. Because frankly they’re all part of the problem. And when one keeps watching really poor stuff one’s standards are automatically lowered. I always add at the end that there is cause for hope given some of the more interesting trends this decade, some of the better voices that have emerged. But this industry is still plagued by too much complacency. The ‘Karan Johar’ syndrome if you will. Where people making the most pedestrian films somehow imagine they’re part of avant garde movement! I recently came across an interview of Mohanlal’s (a titan who of course needs no introduction) which was unbelievably unassuming. We have of course seen many of your interviews where you too practice a certain kind of (even maddening!) self-deprecation. So Amitabh Bachchan and Mohanlal are very modest about their achievements and then you have the Johars of the industry talking so much you’d believe they were Fellini and Kurosawa!

    When is a fish not a fish? Em… okay, er… em… It’s not funny, actually it’s just a fact… cuttlefish are not fish, rather molluscs with 3 hearts!

    Cuttlefish ink is composed of melanin and has been used as the artist’s pigment called Sepia. Sepia is the scientific name of this fish. For this creature, the ink is a decoy, a means of escape from predators. If a large fish were to attack a cuttlefish it would eject a cloud of dark brown, almost black ink towards its attacker!

    I tasted Black Risotto (made out of Cuttlefish Ink) in Greece. Honestly, I didn’t like the taste but my seafood lover mates loved it.
    Their shells may be used as a calcium supplement, or ground into a powder for polishing silver and cleaning teeth.

    Not only animals who live on land are affectionate with others, those who spend a big part of their life in the sea are so loving as well …..in exclamation!!!

    My bounty is as boundless as the sea.
    Love

    Dear Amitji,

    Thanks for the fishy post today with some beautiful aquarium pictures :) Glad to see you write in Hindi for a change, and its so nice to read the blog in Hindi. Also the Big Boss promo video that you posted couple of days ago was superb. Now looking forward to the actual show…. The tennis episode was good to read and glad that you provided additional clarifications to the EF member.

    Now to the Cuttlefish story….It was very interesting to read about such a fish… So next time I go to an aquarium I will try to locate one.
    OK…after the exclamation, I would have written: “ Now doesn’t this seem like the plot from a funny Hindi/Indian movie ? ”

    Hope you have a good swim and come back to read my comment. :)

    With love,
    Krishna

    Dearest Amit ji,

    thank you for being so considerate about all your EF. To be honest with you i have always wanted to read and write in hindi, the language i am more comfortable with. But the positive side of this is i have improved on my english skills after i started reading your blog and writing my comments. I still make many mistakes but i don’t think you mind it nor my friends…………..

    Wow…..beautiful photographs of the aquarium, you had been to there with your beloved friend. I am sure both of you felt nice, calm and serene from within when you were moving around watching different species.

    Thank you for all your love and sharing…..hope you have a good night rest and a beautiful day to await in the morning.

    I will catch up with you tomorrow.

    Sudhir,

    I hate to disappoint u but the cuttlefish is a mollusc not a fish.
    And this is how ‘its’ done:
    Mating cuttlefish align their bodies head to head so the male can transfer a sealed package of sperm into a pouch beneath the female’s mouth. The female then scurries off to a quiet place where she draws eggs from her cavity and passes them over the sperm, thereby fertilising them. In the event of there being multiple sperm deposits, it is the one at the back of the queue, i.e. the last to deposit, who wins the day.

    Aish.

    Just can’t stop laughing at the ‘task’ in hand…

    Well, after the exclamation mark, you could have gone on & on…, like:

    “So my dear FmXt, this is how the CUDDLY CUTTLEFISH go about in their lives… And this is what happens in the depths of the WET WORLD!

    How better it would have been if God had given this COLOURFUL TALENT to the MALES of the human species as well…. ;-)

    And why not to the FEMALES as well… I’d have loved to see how WOMEN serenade MEN for a change!!!!!

    HA! Interesting thoughts…. and WISHFUL thinkings!!!!’

    Anyways Sir, many thanks for the photographs from Sentosa island’s underwater world! In my opinion, Singapore is one of the best cities in the world, and Sentosa is its crowning glory! I can spend WEEKS in just this island! :-)

  241. Bunty says:

    Dear Amitji,

    IN CONTINUATION FROM WHERE YOU LEFT…..

    In scientific terms this phenomenon is called ‘sexual mimcry’ , because the male member disguises as a female and intrudes into the forbidden land. Females of this particular species reject 70 percent of the mating attempts and to my surprise I learn that the percentage mating with such intruders is higher. Perhaps genetically they want their progeny to be clever and they feel that the genes of a male, who can ward of stronger opponents cleverly, would do the trick!!

    However I feel this is a deceitful behavior. But are we humans any different??
    According to a recent study, males who are impulsive, thrill-seeking, deceitful and callous in behavior, have a prolific sex life. There is something uncanny about the males possessing the ‘dark trait’ that attracts the females. Perhaps they find the conventional ‘good guys’ a bit boring and are seeking some thrill, as human nature is tuned to do so.

    So bad is good in today’s times :-D what say? All you guys out there show of your evil side and then see the magic begin…lol

    However a silver lining to this dark cloud is that girls don’t consider the bad guys as marriage material. They finally like to settle down with the good guys. Is it actually a silver lining…not too sure…any comments Mr BigB?

    dhan ta nan …ta..nan

    imaginatively speaking, a real jealousy that you can feel towards this species…

    And what a touching reply. So touched, that it will always remain with me. Thanx. Thanx. Thanx. And Thanx.

    What if she gets pregnant and delivers baby cuttlefish..can the males in the group identify them as different from males other than their own? hehe..will they held her accountable! ?
    well i guess they dont live by the human morals! good for them!

    hello amit ji,

    i am a freelance writer who writes online. needless to say my day begins with your blog. infact on most days i read your blog before i check my mails.

    very frankly i have never been a great fan of movie stars though i have admired you for your phoenix line resilience. i have fallen in love with you thanks to your blog and the day i can’t log on , the one thing i miss is your blog.

    as for your fishy story …. well….

    could get really naughty here,but the one thing that stumps me is how will a female cuttle fish react to the overtures of another female ( though a disguised male) cuttlefish!!

    love you

  255. Ashutosh Sharma says:

    Respected Amitabh Ji,
    Namaste. Your story on the Cuttlefish reminds me of one Cuttlefish in our hindi movies’ plots. Govinda’s characters, in many of films have managed to meet the female leads after disguising as females. Kader Khan and Shakti Kapoor generally played ‘Scuttlefishes’ in those comic capers. Public loved them all for such comic/romantic efforts and directors duly obliged by putting such scenes.

    Pictures have come out really beautiful.
    Mo’ Please.

  257. ROHIT SHARMA says:

    Dear Sir,THIS IS MY Thirteenth ATTEMPT OF POSTING SAME QUESTION.
    First of all i would like to thank you for regularly posting on this blog giving us a chance to interact with you. I have lot of intuitiveness for asking some questions about your past which i am writing now :
    Sir,in fact i have been your admirer for a long long time. From my childhood memories i still remember when you were injured during shooting of movie Coolie.The whole nation felt a blow and every one was concerned and worried about your health.In fact my cousin sis not only used to weep but she went to a temple and prayed for you and offered bribe to the god that she would keep n number of fasts in lieu of your comeback.Since I was a kid so all this made a permanent impression on me in believing that you are a cult,heavenly figure who can never do wrong and is invincible.After that i started tracking each and every info about you.
    By grace of god you made a comeback and gave several hits to the movie industry.And then you launched AB CORP,arranged a Miss WORLD Pageant but unfortunately things didn’t work financially and it was a big big disaster.I was shocked to read that all so called near and dear ones with whom you had worked tried avoiding you and such worst situation came that your house was about to be auctioned.Now this is something which is unjustified, people with whom not only you worked but made them earn a lot of money through your acted movies,how could they shirk a celebrity like you in lean times ?????????????Amazing human nature ????????????????
    But rightly you again bounced back with help of some real helpful friends.And in fact after that you shut down every critic’s mouth and your celebrity status reached an all time high which is still unparalleled.Nothing could have pleased me better than seeing whole world admiring you. SIR, now i would like to seek answers to some thoughts that have been hovering on my mind regarding your lifespan :
    1) Right from Breach candy hospital ( coolie’s accident) to AB Corp’s failure did you feel dejected by almighty and people around you.One day a cult figure close to being worshiped and the next day same person’s house on the verge of being put on auction.DISASTER.
    2} I am sure that After you successfully came back the same people who tried to avoid you earlier during lean times might have again started hovering around you for financial gains. So did you adept policy of TIT FOR TAT or you forgot and worked with them again.
    3) Most importantly i would like to know that what are your thoughts about your life’s journey especially with respect to almighty,your fans and friends who deserted you in lean times.
    Sir, i know that i have asked some personal questions but it is only because i have been following all the news concerning you since long.And despite going through real harrowing times you have been able to bounce back like a real hero. So SIR, KUDOS TO YOU AND I SALUTE YOUR FIGHTING SPIRIT.
    LOVE AND REGARDS
    ROHIT SHARMA(CHANDIGARH)

    How are you? I wish always good
    I personally very much afraid of the invisible and the sea is such a magical and mysterious space for me.
    Once in my life I dared to dive at the beach called “Coral Beach” and it was a lovely experience, there is a place that is on “Coral Beach” built into the sea and can see through all the wonders of nature as a huge aquarium in the sea, but my opinion on the sea has not changed.
    Aquarium is a different world every home should have one, it gives to look more relaxed.
    My house has a nice little aquarium.
    Is there anything more beautiful than my house more relaxing and we recommend that every member here: your picture:).

    My dearest Amithji,

    How ar you ?

    Hmmmm……..very naughty indeed!
    I wonder how the female fish of the other group will know that it is a male she is mating with? & also what if the male fish try to mate with this intruder , thinking it is a female? Really, very complicated!
    All in all , the intruder male fish has to go thru a lot to finally mate!
    How many times , in our movies, we have seen men covering in ‘burqua’ , trying to woo our heroines, to escape the wrath of the father or brother of the girl. I guess, it is the same in animal world too.

    Amithji, today is my daughter, Tejaswi’s birthday. Please send us your blessings! It will mean a lot to both of us.

    The anticipation of watching you on BB is killing me. Every time one of the inmate is evicted, they will be really glad, because , when they come out they’ll be meeting you!
    Wow! colors has hit the jackpot by roping you in!

    Just finished watching paes loose in the mixed doubles finals of the US open. too bad, he could not defend his title. Hope he wins the men’s doubles.

    Waiting for your wishes,
    my undying love to you , with regards,
    kalpana kakade

    Waise har jagah males hi kyun kamin** (pardon my language) hote hain?????????




  266. Pettssy says:

    Hi Mr Bachchan,

    I always forget to thank you for teaching me Hindi (I’m still learning of course); Watching your movies, it happened gradually, and especially because sometimes I couldn’t find the subtitles in languages that I read, as they say in Economy: the need create the demand. :D
    But it is impossible for me to read the writing in Hindi without translator.
    a small tip for EF: Google can translate any web page with the option in the toolbar “Translate”, you get the navigation page with all links in place, but in the language of your choice, then should’nt complicate your life :) .
    So Mr Bachchan; you can write in any language you like, I’ll always read… I never miss any word
    *
    my version of the further adventures of our jealous fish is:
    The poor male of the other clan, believing approach a beautiful female, begins to flirt with her. and then the disguised fish returns to its true appearance, the battle begins, the 2 males are fighting to death, flattered by the attention the ladies, but eventually the male winner is merciful; He looks at his defeated opponent and takes a voice breaks the silence of the ocean:
    “Hey, I’ll leave you alive, but if I see you around, I will regret it, and you too :#!?¤$ ”
    Euh … you must think that I’m crazy, I make fish speaking now,
    I’m just inspired by a documentary I watched, about martens and they gave human names to the members of the clan: The head is a female called “Vicky” (Ahhhhh the female martens are so lucky! :P ) and it was only entitled to be fertilized and she banished all the other females which became pregnant… I found the story fascinating!

    good luck, You have many other scenarios for this fish’s story to read ;)

    Abhi radio par aapke dwara gaya hua gana sun raha hoon, Mr Natwarlal ka, “mere paas aao mere doston”. Jab bhi ye gana sunta hoon bahut achcha lagta hahi, karan nahi pata. Kuch bhi kaho aapki kuch movies unbeatable hain, matlab, bahut maza aata hai 100 baar dekhkar bhi :).
    aap bahut achche kalakaar aur insaan ho, par wo samay alag tha jab aise simple si pyari movies banti thi.pata nahi ye simplicity kaha kho gayi hai aajkal.

    App please Hrishi-da jaisi koi ek movie kijiye na. Cheeni Kum kaafi close thi us tarah ke cinema ke. Kuch middle class aadmi ke layak movie banti nahi aajkal, jaise Hrishi-da banate they.

    App ko agar ye message mile mera to kripa kar kabhi Kishore-da ke bare mai apne experiences share kijiyega. maza aayega.

    Pranam

    Hi Amitji,

    Very nice pictures and nice blog. It was very smart of you to leave it at the exclamation…

    Well the cuttlefish are known for their brainpower. Just like humans have the largest brain among mammals, cuttlefish have the largest brain to body ratio among invertebrates. Lots of scientists have done research on the cuttlefish brain in order to try and understand the functioning of human brain. I would say they should have just studied their mating habits and attempt to cheat others, probably would have known more about humans from that.

    Now on a lighter note, after the exlcamation, you could have written, “padosi apni murgi ko rakhna sambhal mera murga hua hai diwana”… ha ha ha

    This is a letter of demobilization, sent by a soldier to the Minister of Defense:
    If you feel you dizzy, stop reading
    Minister of National Defense,

    Let me take the liberty of respectfully state as follows, and seek your good support necessary for a rapid demobilization.

    I am a soldier who is currently in military service, aged 24 years and I am married to a widow of 44 years, which has a daughter who is 25. My father married the girl. At this time, my father became my son, since he married my daughter. Thus, my stepdaughter became my stepmother, being the wife of my father.

    My wife and I had ,last January, a son. This child is a brother of my father’s wife, so the brother of my father. Consequently, my uncle, since he is the brother of my stepmother. My son is my uncle.

    In Christmas ,the wife of my father got a boy who is, at the same time, my brother since he is the son of my father and my little son because he is the son of the daughter of my wife.

    I am the brother of my little son, and as the mother’s husband of someone is his father , it turns out that I am the father of my wife and the brother of my son. I am my own grandfather.

    Therefore, Sir, please be so kind to send me back to my home, because the law prohibits father, son and grand-son to be mobilized at the same time.
    In the belief of your understanding, please accept, Excellency the Minister, the expression of my best feelings .

    Hope you enjoy the joke

    SUCKER!!!! SUCKER!!!
    the first one for cuttle fish and the other one for you for dropping this on us ! ha ha ha……..it reveals the other side-evil side of your mind. now thats for sure you must have done something like that in your younger years. heh heh ! i know i know its your turn to be mushy now !! heh heh heh!!!!!!!!!!

    it is true that
    The cuttlefish are also called the chameleon of the sea. They have a very great ability to change their pattern for various purposes. The change of coloration is due to the special cells called chromatophores. The cells change colors when the individual cells expand or contract. Therefore, the cuttlefish are known to blend into many backgrounds with ease. The cuttlefish can therefore change into colors of gold, green, silver, blue etc.

    A strange fact about the cuttlefish is that it can adopt the female coloration along one side of the body as well as retain the male coloration on the other side. Male cuttlefish are extremely alert when it comes to the females, especially if she is laying the eggs. The male will guard aggressively over the female and this is when another approaching male will use his ability to have a dual look to access the female and trick the
    male.

    why not just enjoy and have fun and forget the realities of life….

    Males fight for choice mating dens. Most fights end without major injuries.

    After the males win their territory, female cuttlefish appear at the dens and mate with resident males.

    After mating, the female retreats deep within the den where she lays her eggs one at a time. She coats the eggs with a protective sheath and carefully cements them to the roof of the den.In general shortly after mating, the female cuttlefish will begin to lay eggs.

    Sometimes the male guards it, to be sure, only the eggs fertilised by him are laid.

    She leaves the eggs unattended to develop and to hatch on their own.

    “The female dies shortly thereafter”.

    DEAR AB AND EF’s,Nice way to teach……
    फिल्मी डायलॉग से सीख रहे संस्कृत

    संस्कृत कठिन भाषा है, पर यदि उसे सिखाने का तरीका दिलचस्प हो, तो यह कठिन भाषा सीखना भी आसान हो सकता है। इस बात पर गौर फरमाते हुए गुजरात के संस्कृत क्लब ने अब लोकप्रिय फिल्मों के मशहूर डायलॉग के माध्यम से लोगों को संस्कृत सिखाने की दिलचस्प शुरुआत की है।

    संस्कृत क्लब के सूत्रों के मुताबिक आमतौर पर यह देखा गया है कि लोगों को पाठ याद करने में भले ही कठिनाई हो, पर फिल्मी डायलॉग आसानी से याद हो जाते है। अहमदाबाद के परिमल गार्डन में हर माह की अंतिम शनिवार को संस्कृत क्लब के सदस्य फिल्मी डायलॉग के माध्यम से संस्कृत सीखते है। संस्कृत सिखाने के लिए जिन फिल्मों के डायलॉग का चयन किया गया है, उनमें शोले, गुरू, दामिनी, लगे रहो मुन्नाभाई, दीवार, हेराफेरी, द लीजेंड ऑफ भगत सिंह और क्रांतिवीर जैसी 11 लोकप्रिय फिल्में शामिल है। इन फिल्मों के डायलॉग को संस्कृत में लिखा गया है, ताकि लोगों में संस्कृत सीखने की रुचि जगाई जा सके। उदाहरणस्वरूप शोले फिल्म में गब्बर सिंह द्वारा कहा गया डायलॉग तेरा क्या होगा कालिया कुछ इस अंदाज में कहा जाता है, कालिया तव किं भविष्यसि। संस्कृत में इसका जवाब कुछ इस तरह होता है कि महोदय, मया भवत: लवणं खादितवान, जिसका अर्थ है सरकार मैंने आपका नमक खाया है। आगे का डायलॉग है, तो अब गोली खा जो संस्कृत में इस प्रकार कहा जाएगा कि ईदानिं गोलिकां अपि खादत। जब गब्बर कहता है कि पचास-पचास कोस दूर जब कोई बच्चा रोता है, तो उसकी मां कहती है..बेटा सो जा नहीं, तो गब्बर आ जाएगा, इस डायलॉग को संस्कृत में कहा जाएगा कि पंचाशत पंचाशत योजनम् दूरम यदा कोअपि बालक: रुदति, तदा तस्य माता वदति वत्स शयनंम् कुरू अन्यथा गब्बर अगमिष्यिति। संस्कृत क्लब के इस प्रयास को बच्चों से लेकर बड़ों तक सभी लोग पसंद कर रहे है।

    Dear AB

    Nice to read the hindi writing, though the full stop in hindi (I - a simple line ) is different and not the (.) …just a small correction. It would be wonderful if your blog was translated and put up for the hindi readers.

    Very interesting fishy tale and the exclamation mark was the best ;0) to challenge the EF….interesting and naughty: I know you won’t have written all these things but i let my imagination run wild ;-) Here is what happens next :
    1.The new male fish flirts with the female fish, ” aye kya bolti tu…chalti ka aquarium ghoom ne ?” The female fish tells the new male fish (thinking its her male),” tum aaj bade romantic ho rahe ho ;-)
    2.The female fish tells her male fish(when she realises her mistake),” mein tumhare layak nahi rahi ”
    3.The female fish tells her male fish(after few weeks),”mein kisi aur ke bache ki maa bana ne wali hoon ”
    4. The male fish askes the female fish, ” kis ke saath mooh kala kara hain?”
    5. The male fish says after knowing the whole story of the other male fish trick, mein us kutte ka(i mean fish ka) khoon pi jaoonga…..” ;0)))))
    end of the story….a typical hindi masala movie ishtyle !!!

    Other options are:
    1.The female fish says to the new male fish, “i don’t talk to strangers” - End of the story !
    2.The female fish falls in love with the new male fish and elopes with him and they lived happily ever after…mmmooohhhaaaa - end of the story !

    Hope you enjoy reading it as much as i enjoyed writing it ! Give me your rating (out of ten)for the exercise :-)

    Now coming to yesterday’s blog :
    I did not read your blog yesterday as a punishment for myself as i had not followed the schedule which i made for myself, so i punished myself by not reading your blog(which is very dear to me) and read it today ! It was hard as whole night i kept thinking what you would have written, and finally read it today.

    My comments for yesterday’s blog :
    I agree with what you had written yesteray about history being preserved and technology advancement. I had a suggestion for the big adda people-if your blog had your voice (optional) speaking to us as we read the blog it would be wonderful. You could use a dictaphone as you write your blog, may be then you will not have to write…just speak the words and they get typed as you speak - i am sure there must be some technology available.

    love u loads

    I am much later today in responding.
    The view outside my window will be absolutely marvelous once the colours of Autumn pour out their vast array of harvest.
    When we first moved back here the landscape was barren except fo rthe homes nestled on the terraced hillside. Then, with Spring we had a full view of harmonious pink cherry blossoms followed by our Summer that gave forth an abundance of various greens and like magic….the hillside was occupied by nature overflowing its portals. Now that it is Fall, our hillside is slowly making its changes, scarlets and rusty oranges.
    With my curtains drawn to the sides it looks like I have a painting on my window. I look forward to the Winter snowflakes, but not too much snow. :-)

    Dear Amit Sir,
    First of all thank you so much for your kind note of yesterday on my comment (message) to your post of day 483. Its such fantastic a feeling to get the yellow strip. My mind knows no limits of happiness today. Cannot believe that slowly but steadily you did reach pto my comment of day 483 and rewarded me too with the yellow strip. Thanks once again from the bottom of my heart.
    I did miss the blog for some days togather, due to many reasons, some very private, and mostly due to official exigencies.
    Today as i read your various posts that i missed so much and the comments of FmXt all these days, i understand how much i have been out of touch and lost. However, will update myself in the next couple of days.
    This leaves me well. Hope everyone around you are not otherwise.

    This has been one of the most fun posts in ages… and very revealing too.. the responses have been as varied as the colours of the cuttlefish..

    And it did make me think that anyone shooting a cuttlefish love story could save an awful lot on make-up… and Mr Bachchan (were he a cuttlefish) could have some extra time in bed…

  301. saleh says:

    Dear Amitji,
    have you ever thought about the purpose of this life?
    People everywhere are asking the questions; “What is the purpose of life?” and “Why are we here?” You might be amazed to learn, that Islam is providing clear and concise answers for these questions.
    Most of those who reflect or think about life in any detail will consider and ponder these questions. There are as many different answers to these questions as there are people asking the questions. Some would hold that the purpose of life was to acquire wealth. Yet suppose they were to acquire millions of dollars, what then would they claim is their purpose after doing so?

    If the purpose of life is to become wealthy, there would be no purpose after becoming wealthy.

    The fact is that when people approach their purpose here in this life from the aspect of only gaining wealth, after collecting the money they have dreamed of their lives loose purpose and then they live in restless tension suffering from a feeling of worthlessness.

    How could wealth then be considered as the aim of life?

    Could the acquisition of wealth guarantee happiness? Of course not.
    When we hear of millionaires or members of their families committing suicide, how could we consider the purpose of life would be to gain great wealth?

    A child of 5 years would obviously prefer a new toy to a deposit slip for a million dollars.
    A teenager does not consider millions of dollars in the bank a substitute for movies, videos, pizza and hanging out with his friends.
    A person in their 80s or 90s would never consider holding on to their wealth in place of spending it to hold on to or regain their health.

    This proves that money is not the main purpose at all the stages of one’s life.

    Wealth can do little or nothing to bring happiness to one who is a disbeliever in Almighty God, because regardless of what he or she would gain in this life they would always live in fear of what will happen to them in the end. They would wonder what would become of them and how they would end up.

    Wealth and its accumulation as a purpose would be doomed to a temporary success at best and in the end it would only spell out self destruction.

    So, what is the use of wealth to a person without belief? He would always fear his end and would always be skeptical of everything. He may gain a great material wealth but he would only lose himself in the end.

    Worship of the One True Almighty God of the Universe [Allah in Arabic] as a primary goal or aim in life provides a believer with everything he needs to succeed in both this life and the Next Life.

    The word for total surrender, submission, obedience, purity of heart and peace in the Arabic language is “Islam”. Those who try to perform these actions are called “MU-slims” [Islam-ERs].

    To a Muslim the whole purpose of life is “ibadah” or worship to the One True Almighty God on Terms and under His Conditions.

    The term “worship” to a Muslim includes any and all acts of obedience to Almighty Allah.

    So his purpose of life is a standing purpose; Worshipping Allah by accepting Allah’s Will over his own.
    This act of ibadah [worshipping, thanking and extolling the Greatness Almighty Allah on His Terms and Conditions] is for the Muslim, throughout his whole life regardless of the stage. Whether he is a child, adolescent, adult or aged person, he is seeking after the Will of the Almighty in all these stages.
    His life here on earth although short, is full of purpose and is totally meaningful within the complete framework of total submission [Islam].

    Similarly, in the Next Life as well, his faith, intentions, attitudes and good deeds will all be weighed into his account as favorable putting him in high esteem with his Creator and Sustainer.

    Because Islam teaches that this life is only a test or trial for the individual to show him his true nature it is only natural that he would accept death as not so much an ending to everything but more as a beginning of the final and lasting life in the Hereafter.

    Before entering into either of the final lodging places i.e.; Heaven or Hell, there must needs be a Day of Judgment or showing of one’s true self to make them aware of their own nature and thereby understand what they have sent on ahead during the life here on the earth.

    Every person will be rewarded [or punished] according to their attitude, appreciation and efforts during this stay on earth. None will be asked about the actions and beliefs of others, nor will anyone be asked regarding that which he was unaware of or incapable of doing.

    As the life here is considered as an examination for the individual, the death stage is considered as a resting period after the test. It could be easy for those who were faithful and dedicated or it could be grueling and horrible for the wicked.

    Reward and punishment will be in direct proportion to each person and it is only Allah, alone who will be the Final Judge over us all.

    So in the teachings of the True Surrender, Submission, Obedience, In Sincerity and Peace to the Almighty One God [Islam], the line of life and its purpose is logical, clear and simple:

    The first life is a test

    The life in the grave is a resting or waiting place before the Day of Judgment

    The Day of Judgment brings about the clear understanding of what will now happen to the individual based on his own desires and actions

    The Permanent or Afterlife will either be spend in luxurious splendor or miserable punishment .

    Following this clear understanding of life, the Muslim’s purpose is clear.

    First of all, he has no doubt in his mind that:
    he is only created by Allah
    he is going to spend a period of time in this material world [called "Ad Dunyah" in Arabic]
    he knows he will die
    he knows he will spend time in the grave, either pleasant or difficult depending on his own choice of attitude and actions
    he knows he will be resurrected for the Day of Judgment
    he knows he will be judged according to the most fair of standards by Allah the Almighty, the All

    Knowing he realizes his attitude and actions are going to come under very close scrutiny
    he knows that this short life compared to the Eternal Life was in fact, only for a test

    This life is very meaningful and purposeful to the Believing Muslim, as he realizes that it will determine is outcome and permanent position in the Next Life.

    The Muslim’s permanent purpose is to Surrender, Submit, Obey, in Purity and Peace to Allah the Almighty, carrying out His Orders and staying in some form of worship to Him as much as possible everyday.

    This includes the orders of Allah in His Book, the Holy Quran and His final Messenger and Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him as follows:

    Believing and declaring that “There is no god throughout all the Creation of Allah that is worthy of worship, all worship is due only to Allah, alone and He has no partners or helpers nor does He share His Lordship with any of His creations. And Muhammad, the son of Abdullah ibn Abdul Mutallib (1450 years ago) is the last and final messenger and servant of Almighty Allah, and is the culmination in a long line of prophets sent to mankind throughout man’s history, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus Christ, may Almighty Allah’s Peace and Blessings be upon them all.”

    Establishing the regular five times ritualistic prayer [salat] in the stated times (in the mosques for the men when possible)

    Paying the charity tax [Zakat = about 2.5% of one's holdings - not his income, annually]

    Fasting the month of Ramadhan [lunar calendar]

    Pilgrimage to the House of Allah in Mecca at least once in the life of the person, provided he has the ability and the way is safe

    For a disbeliever the purpose of this life is to collect and amass great wealth, money, power and position. Over indulging in eating, drinking, drugs, sex and gambling are a high priority to them. But all of this will not avail them anything good in the grave, on the Day of Judgment or in the Next Life. Eventually he will be faced with the question:
    Now what?
    What’s Next?
    Where am I going?
    What will happen to me?

    He will come to know. For sure he will come to know. But then what will the knowledge avail him?

    Look how Islam solves the mystery of the puzzle of life. It provides the answers to the questions and concerns of the human beings on all levels and in every aspect. It is really quite simple.

    The purpose of life as understood by the Believing Muslim can be simply stated in only two (2) words:
    Obey God.

    Our only purpose and salvation lie in these two words.

    We must come to know our Creator, Sustainer and Ultimate Judge. We must learn to believe in Him, thank Him, praise Him, honor Him and worship Him, alone without any partners from His Creation. We must learn about His Messengers and Prophets, peace be upon them, and the message with which they were all sent. We must learn the Word of God as was directly revealed, preserved and memorized and passed down by memory throughout all the generations of Muslims to the present day.

    Those who are in search of truth, having open minds and hearts will recognize this as a message in truth and sincerity. Open your heart and your mind now and ask the Almighty God of the Universe [Allah] to guide you now to His True Way. And then be ready to accept your true purpose in life.

    Dear Amitji,
    Wow- amazing stories!!I think, all animals and other creatures have some similar senses as far as opposite sex is concerned, We all try to impress opposite sex in some way or other and attract them, not necessarily in bad intentions all the time, but it is natural!! We do not chage our “colors” or our outer part of the body, but our behavior changes and so our expressions. About cutterfish, I do not know what to say!!! It is kind of “sneaky” to get into opposite group behaving or pretending as a female!!!! Thank God, I am not born as cutterfish!!!
    We did go under the sea when we went to Hawaii- saw beautiful creatures under the sea and nice beautiful fishes. It is a different sensations when you are in aquarium vs under the sea.
    love
    Ashesh

    Black’ holds third spot at Korean box office
    ====================================
    Dear Amitji, and Big B Fans,
    I urge all fans to share good news related to Amitji, Here is one

    Black’ holds third spot at Korean box office
    Mumbai, Sept 10 (PTI) Less than two weeks after its Korea release — billed as the biggest for a Hindi movie there — Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s critically-acclaimed “Black” has shot up to the third spot at that country’s box office.

    The Rani Mukherjee, Amitabh Bachchan-starrer opened on August 28 at 180 screens in the country and was one of the biggest releases for a non-Korean or Hollywood film.

    The movie is now behind Korean blockbusters “Take-Off” and “Haeundae”.
    The opening of “Black” in Korea has gathered a lot of attention from general audiences and industry insiders alike.

    Thanks

    My dearest Mr. Bachchan,

    Okay you know I cannot resist stupidity and I am in agreement with odd comment in that the activity of the Cuttlefish makes a good 1970/80’s Indian movie! I was imagining a good old fashioned love triangle complete with the chase, the sequenced dances between two shoals of fish during which the intruder creates a diversion by changing into a colourful sari, thus allowing him to fin around with the lady. Just before the cameraman has the need to swiftly remove focus from the mating fish to seaweed nearby in an effort to leave ‘something’ to the imagination…. the good-guy Cuttlefish swims in! An intense fight ensues between the male fish eventually leading to the good-guy fish winning the fin of the fair lady fish! And they all lived happily ever after!

    To answer your question and on this side of the millennium of course the males and female Cuttlefish would be on the Jerry Springer show asking for a DNA test some months down the line!! ….’Ah yes a fishy business’, he would say!

    And ‘that’ is as far into my imagination as anyone is allowed.. back off.. this is a no entry area!! Hehe..

    Mr. Bachchan I do wonder whether you were actually “fishing” for ideas for a future film!!

    Okaaay, enough of my stupidity for one lifetime !

    Goodnight again, dearie.
    With much love..
    Jasmine

    Such lovely post and photos… dearest and mosr loved Big Boss :)

    I don’t have an aquarium… it is like a little cage for fishes.. as i don’t have birds as pets in home… they don’t belong to limited space.. they had been born free.. so why we lock them in tiny cages..? Enough all the cages we are locking ourselves in.. no need to treat these lovely creatures by the same rudness.

    I don’t have good memories with seas, oceans.. i feel panic in water just like any fish repects her ownself when she finds herself on land.. we belong to different worlds.. same rules.. similar behavior.. same violence.. even under this peaceful figure of swimming fish…

    I wonder The pharaoh cuttlefish Intruder when he is sneaking after the female specie of the opposition party.. and mate with the ladies.. it resemble human adventures.. what happenes to a human who is exposed to an extra ordinary pressure or in the middle of danger… their glands excrete adrenalin… pharoah cuttlefish excrete brown ink.. so the male who excretes brown ink… is a sneaker and get caught by the males of the other community whom will certainly revenge harshly for their ladies.. and for being fooled.. !!!!!!

    Well my dear Amitji you are full with supprrises :-)

    Even if I try hard I could never write as you.

    Don’t forget that you ecome what you are today because of your givet, a great abilty to nominalize almost every thing even the most un important things/situations in the world.

    Look at this! you are taking a manifestation of nature and turn it to a dramatic/romantic/exciting act like in a big hollywood or bollywood movie…..

    Sory Amitji, I don’t have your givet, I don’t have this imagination and such high language!

    So i use my option in the game to turn the table back to you, and to wait to your fantastic way of describing and writing the wonder tale of Cuttlefish :-)

    I look forward to read the deevlops in the story……………

    Yours for ever,

    Hi Ami ,

    I am sure u must have read # 3 comment by Dee Bank, on actress Lisa Ray being diagnosed with cancer. Itz really sad, and I hope and pray that she can brave through the rounds of chemo and radiation, bcoz any type of cancer can really eat u up :-(.

    It is nice to see the Hindi version of ur blog post. But since being in US for almost 10 yrs now, it takes me forever to read a para in Hindi, of course not because I feel I am more westernised, but bcoz being here, I have lost the practise of reading and writing in Hindi, which is more common back home in Bombay.

    Today ( Thursday), last week ( Sept 3rd ) was my last radio show and I am kinda missing it :-(. But I am hoping I get enough sponsors to get my show back ” ON-AIR ” soon :-).

    Keep Well, my daughter’s Ami Bachchan
    Love,

    Its Singapore’s only preserved coastal fort stands . It has the largest collection of World War II memorabilia with life-sized replicas, interactive exhibits and even authentic aromas are lovingly recreated. Its worth a visit.

    Glad you swam away from the scene of action and in this kahani of “Kaun Sachaa Kaun Joothaa”, in delight the lady sings,

    “Pardesiya..Pardesiya yeh sach hai piya

    Sab kehte hain maine tujhko dil de diya

    Main kehti hoon tune mera dil le liya

    Phoolon mein kaliyon mein gaaon ki galiyon mein

    Hum dono badnaam hone lage hain……..”

    And Jootha replies,

    ”Logon ko kehne do kehte hi rehne do

    Sach jhooth hum kyun sabko bataayen

    Main bhi hoon masti mein tu bhi hai masti mein

    Aa is khushi mein hum naache gaayen

    Kisko pataa kyaa kisne kiya

    Sab kehte hain tune mera dil le liya”

    Lady Cuttlefish says,
    “Mera dil kehta hai tu dil mein rahta hai

    Meri bhi dil ki kali khil gayi hai”

    Jootha Cuttlefish says,

    “Teri tu jaane re maane na maane re

    Mujhko meri manzil mil gayi…”

    This comes to an abrupt end as Jootha gets found out by Sachaa and the usual exchange of the filmi dialogues,
    “chun chun ke marunga gin gin ke maarunga…”etc.. etc… follow on

    As both Sachaa and Jootha get locked in a tussle, there is a tragic end….
    The lady dies after spawning.

    Joking aside, female cuttlefish dies after laying her eggs.

    But I think in your sincere, humble and educating way you would have gone onto to explain more about their life cycle.

    Regards
    Rajesh

    Dear AB & EF

    Just discovered a faster way to go to blog’s previous entries, if one wants to visit 10 days old entries instead of hitting the previous entry again and again simply use the link below :
    http://bigb.bigadda.com/?paged=14

    Instead of “14″ just type the number of days you would want to go say 6 days old then type “3″ (as the blog shows 2 posts per day u have to calculate accordingly :-) instead of 14.
    Hope it is helpful & useful. if their is any other faster way,please share with us.

    “”PHARAOH CUTTLEFISH”",,,

    before!!!!!!!!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,,I would like to mention that more than messege(or interpretation) story has some facts,,,,its with the word Commitment or Trust,Love, cheats,survival and Sacrifice!

    Trust- for female cuttlefish ignores almost 70% (male)as n average to
    choose one as mate,the couple then lives in den to mate(strange)
    Love- Male Cuttlefish takes the responsibility of protecting from other
    male outside the den untill female lays egg,its something unusual
    for wild life to have intimacy of mating with couple.
    Survival- Minor Cuttle fish(male) in order to save life not just pretends but
    mimics even physical appearence of female,its sign of
    intelligence for survival.
    Cheats- The fake female(the actual male fish) even mates with real
    female,its simply cheat but female living under protection level
    of her choosen male are not be blamed much as even male get
    misleaded by mimicry (even in anger) .
    Sacrifice- Sacrifice,may be its not that conscious but just after mate,
    female (as to be mother) take very good care of her diet and
    dies a few day later after she lays eggs,the father protecting
    outside the den also dies a within few days of mothers death,the
    eggs get hatched themselves and kids starts feeding “Mysid”.

    Anyway,namaste Sir,(charan Sparsh),Thanx for ur concern over we hindi(or regional Language) speaking people.But I would like to point ur attention towards so many people like me who adore u and concider u as lovable as their own self,,,but they r not “NET-FRIENDLY”,,so can`t visit ur blog but for sure love u limitless,they r restless to listen anything about u for they truly love you without any reason or condition on ur side,,,I wanna ask ,if we ,who adore Amitabh Bachhan with ,,his name,,,,feel his presence all the time with us,,and almost die to see him happy n blessed with divinity in every moment of life,,,r we also member of ur EF,even if we can`t always visit ur blog (`coz of some unwanted reasons),,,???

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,
    It is wonderful to read about your relaxing day with your friend and the fish story. Nice pictures. I thinking back to my holiday on the Maldives many years ago. Ihuru the circle round island has a diameter of 200 m. I snorkeled always around the island and saw the beautiful colors of coral and the many various fish it was absolutely fantastic.The highlight was the diving course and therefore the underwater world. How colourful and diverse is this paradise.I know still weeks later back in Germany .The very friendly and helpful humans from Maldives. I had still the feeling from sand under my feet and … Ohhhh
    …the memories come back through your story, Thank you so much!
    Now I must look in which box is the album.

    quote; about cinema

    “Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. It is a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream”

    best wishes, a great day tomorrow,
    a big hug and my Love always

    good night
    Carla

    And the females also welcome the thrill and excitement of the whole process, and as the “disguised” males make their way out, are gleefully satisfied and happy with their accomplishments and do not care even if they have to lose their lives while swimming their way out of the enemy terrritory…they got what they want and if death came in that process at least they are dying being satisfied!!!!

    With lots and lots of respect dear Amit jee,

    Here is one———–After spending some time with female friends dear intruder lifts his घूंघट ( comes back in his real colour) and by this time its too late for them to kick him out because दोस्ताना had already happened.

    Ha ha ha ……….I hope you find it funny too………..

    Many Obstacles
    By Renate

    In the big blue Indian Ocean
    There once lived a cuttlefish
    Akhnaton was his ancient name
    And Nefertiti was his love

    One day she had gone missing
    Akhnaton searched the sea
    He found find her in the harem
    Of a stronger Pharaohfish

    Akhnaton went to see her
    The Pharaoh was big and mean
    He flashed his many colors
    To make his message seen

    But - Akhnaton had watched Laawaris
    BigB had done it there
    He dressed in choli and sari
    And undulated in

    Akhnaton played the lady
    And found his waiting love
    Alas, their trials weren’t over
    More troubles were to come

    “You are fish, you do not mate”
    Friend Sudhir said it twice
    Aishwarya knew the real truth
    “You’re no fish, you’re mollusks

    So go ahead and sin”

    She even gave instructions
    And Phyllis showed the pictures
    Fie - the details were too detailed
    And for the Sensitive too crass

    BigB, always the gentleman
    Did not like this rating “X”
    And set his exclamation marks
    No less than three at once

    Is there no end to suffering?
    Who can help us now?
    Tehreem came to the rescue
    “Did you forget your ink?”

    So in a cloud of sepia
    The final act took place
    In the big blue Indian Ocean
    Or was it Sentosa Isle?

    Dear Valorie, I hope you don’t mind my intrusion into your domain - it’s for today only and you can see I don’t share your talent for rhymes (or poems ….lol….)

    Love,
    Renate

    Here are some of my top-of-mind comments…

    1. Sigh! If only I had known this when I was much younger!

    2. Oh I better watch out or the media headline is going to be - Amitabh lowers blog standards after signing up Big Boss! (of course it doesnt make sense - isnt that how it is often?)

    3. Maybe they should be called Cuddlefetish!

    4. Now, imagine if that was possible among humans?

    5. The Cuttlefish might fool everybody, but I am sure it can’t fool its own mother!

    Amithji

    Koti Koti Parnam Mera,

    Okay, the mood you are in today, makes way from Kalu to Kaalia as it plays in my background. Looks like either the fish have got you excited, or something in the fresh air of Sentosa… Something really fishy going on there , just wonder what your dear friend is thinking ?? …lol..

    But hey Yes you are right they are truly amazing, in fact there are I think, over 25,000 different types of fish in the world, thats more than mammals, reptiles and amphibians.

    This excercise that you have put to us, is really not fair… would have been nice to hear your version first… But as One diplomatic to another I suppose!!!

    It is a wonder of such realisation that God made this Kingdom, that the animal world should behave and imitate mankind, or mankind imitating the animal kingdom ?? Who really knows ?

    All sharing a deliberate chosen route of being the same self centered , selfish cunning, nature that embeds the mind regardless of which ever speices we may refer to…For our own individual survival of the fittess…. But then I suppose they never have to deal with the depth of Pain as us humans do..

    The answer to your exclamation mark would be sensible just to allow it to be as completed simply in more kinder words as ‘Clever Tactics’.. what random behaviour Ghosh….

    I refuse to enter a zone of chauvinism, sexism, or shrewdness exisitence with a currently totally drained and exhausted brain today.. so please do forgive this lack of co operation and communciation… One can but laugh at such behaviour.. truly brains of their own and how remarkably self determined and confident.

    Amitji, am extremly tired today, so please do forgive me, must get some rest. Enjoyed your mood and sense of humour today…

    May I say how wonderfully high it raises my spirits & gives me a sense of contentness, when I feel the laughter and smiles that your vibes transport over this cyber space to us…

    Baas aap sada muskarate rahe meri dua hai yeh…… It makes me feel so good and joyous…

    My love as always @ 12.45am

    Oh by the way I have no words that can be expressed enough to reach your disturbance… With my complete gratitude & sincerity I Thank you from the most deepest coral reef level of my body n soul … The happiness was surrounded in a massive ocean of relief on the other side… Your immeadiate reaction did the trick… Sumjhe Aap ???

    THANK YOU MY HUMBLE CARING BB…

    Thank you to Dee #3 for leting us know about LISA RAY’s illness, it is very sad and a shock. May God give her and her family the courage and strength to be strong and supportive. May Lisa only contiune a life of PAIN FREE TREATMENT… May God bless her , My thoughts are with her…




  334. Valorie Adams says:

    My Dearest, Dearest Man…
    ***You ask me ‘What would you have written after that last exclamation mark?”
    Then you add to it by writing “RUN WILD, RUN CRAZY! Keep it civil, even though we are all adults, let’s have some imaginative inputs!” Well, never let it be said that I don’t work well under pressure… I LOVE A GOOD CHALLENGE!
    ***In answer to your question, I would write you a poem… (What? You expected something else???) Thereby keeping my promise of ‘one poem a day’ to you as well as giving you a sneak-peak into my imagination… And here is is..

    drum roll please……………………….

    “CUTTLE BUDDY” by Valorie Adams

    I once lived in a cuttlefish harem -
    way down beneath the blue sea.
    I must say my cuttlefish ‘Master’
    wasn’t taking very good care of me…

    A foreign fish snuck in one evening -
    He was all dressed up in girls clothes!
    He thought he’d creep in and have his way with us -
    and do it all right under ‘Masters’ nose!

    Well, he didn’t count on us Ladyfish -
    being as lonely as all of us were…
    We duct taped his mouth and put a veil on it -
    Then we handcuffed him still in his skirt!

    We sat him on a pillow in the corner -
    and we do with him whatever we want…
    It doesn’t appear that he minds much -
    though his face looks a little bit gaunt…

    See, we were too smart for that fella -
    We sure couldn’t let him get away.
    ‘Master’ just thinks he’s an ugly concubine -
    In fact, he’s still chained there today…

    and now……………TAAAAA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! :)




  335. Ravi says:

    Dear Sir,

    I am reading your blog for quite sometime though not able to read daily. But if my day starts with your blog that is the best. I really thought many time to write you but dont know why I couldnt… might be I thought that what I read will be read by Mr Bachchan.. Wowwww…. and that thought sent chill in my bones. But once I read and came to know that you are in Singapore cant stop thinking to write you and then today I crossed that barrier from the word “should” to “will”. When I heard that you are here I thought may be somewhere I can see you.. I know for that one has to be extremely lucky.. lets see. And I am not going to leave the hope :-)
    Wishing you all the very best for everything Sir, and your efforts to make your fans very very happy…
    regards,
    Ravi




  336. Tatiana says:

    Dear Amitabh Bachchan,

    Came from work and now I can comment..: ) Sorry to keep you waiting..: ) Just kidding.. !
    *
    Thank you for the pictures from the aquarium.. Seeing them here made me feel happy !
    Good for you and your friend that you could go there.. Looking at this amazing unknown world gives a special feeling of the magical encounter with the countless wonders of this creation …
    I went in museums aquariums in San Diego many times and in Boston and I took pictures just like you posted today..

    I also enjoy very much and I am at awe watching programs like “Planet Earth” and “Blue Planet”
    and others that show glory and wonders of underwater world. Some deep sea creatures look like space ships from deep space or even resemble constellations - with their chemical lights in the pitch blackness of the aquatic abyss…

    On the first of your pictures one fish turned away form the school and is not smiling : ) …

    On the second, camera flash looks like the sun in the blue skies of the aquarium with jellyfishes.

    I have a picture of seaweed fish which indeed is a species of a seahorse fish - resemblance to the plant.. On my picture they are a little different - less branchy and more of bright shades of green.
    *

    Cuttlefish, which is a mollusk, behavioral habits are fascinating..
    On the ones that you described, all I can think logically of is a biological side of it..
    In this cunning and ingenious way nature overcomes inbreeding - the process of mating within closed group of organisms. Community of Cuttlefish is being overprotective for crossbreeding to take place ( the exchange of variety of genes necessary for species survival ) .
    So, after those “!!!” marks, - the new generation of Cuttlefish will be coming to life - with stronger genetic pool..
    So, I think maybe it is evolution’s way to solve and deal with it..

    *
    English is not my native language indeed and I mentioned more than once about my difficulties when I use it, but not any where near a complaint though - rather apologetically for any shortcomings..: )

    I saw your films dubbed in Russian !! : ) So, all Indian languages on your blog that are coming up soon, I suppose, are not going to help me to advance much here : ) Ha ha ha .. It made me laugh : )

    Yet, all the same, I write here not to promote my views or myself, but to give you a support..
    I share my thoughts and ideas with the same purpose - maybe it can be of use and give you something positive in support..

    Here is something I would like to say on the theme of you comparing your blog to the house of ‘BiggBoss’ the other day.

    EF is a very variegated community.. Multi cultural.. I always try to consider it when I write ..
    Ethics and other traits are greatly a cultural inheritance..
    I can not expect everybody live by my ethics and I am not inclined to abandon mine.. Everyone has their own that they adhere to..
    For a comparison I have a close circle of friends who share my ethics - communication with them is most rewarding … I think it is the same way for everyone..

    I think here we all share love and solidarity as human beings and mutual respect of the same …
    And, of course, we are all here for you..

    For months now there has been talk on the blog about envy and jealousy. I abstained from expressing on this topic earlier. But I would like to say that they are natural and most uncomfortable traits of human nature connected deeply to feeling of fairness and of a competition as an evolutionary inbuilt in us..
    In my system of ethics and beliefs, inducing them should be avoided as much as following them..
    Because if we care for one another we would care to understand and not inflict the pain that is intrinsic to weaknesses of human nature.. As much as we should try to grow and become stronger..
    Only spiritually highly advanced individuals had won the battle over their own Ego.. And such are very few individuals though the whole history of humankind …
    Actually, it is the core issue and mechanisms which can explain why perpetual peace and love does not exist on Earth.
    People need gentle care on this issue.. I consider it worth mentioning and share these thoughts now because there was a mention in you blog of an ‘Ego’ couple of days ago in connection to your new “Big Boss” project and I did not have time and energy at all to write on this subject at the proper Day of the blog.. So, I thought I would..
    *
    I apologize for the length of my comment - somehow I do not possess the talent of brevity in expression : ) All in good humor … : )

    *
    I wish you to have a beautiful day.. And thank you for this very interesting and generous entry..

    God bless and take care.

    With much love.
    Tatiana S. USA

  340. PB a fan in Texas says:

    Mr. Bachchan, it will be wonderful when you can have an everyday bi-lingualblog! (Or more than that eventually, from what you say)

    I am very, humbly grateful that this blog is written in English, since I have no Hindi to speak of, but I totally sympathize with all the speakers of your native language who want to hear you in your common mother tongue.

    So many of you in the FmXt are terrifically fluent in Hindi and English both, and I am in total admiration and envy of your abilities!

    But I am in just as much admiration of those of you who claim your English is not that good (although most of you sound quite eloquent to me!) and who with dictionaries in hand, are using this as a challenge to improve your skills in a language not your own. My hat is off to you!

    As for me, I am a rank beginnier in learning Hindi. I like it when things are written in the devanagari script, because it gives me a chance to practice my remedial reading skills. Also, it is better than romanized for me, because with the latter I am always having to try to figure out which d or t to look up first in my Hindi-English dictionary!! ha

    Anyway, this is just another one of the wonderful multi-cultural virtues of this world-wide beloved blog!

    Achaa, y’all!

    Phyllis

    Goodmorning amitji,
    ….and once in, mates with their ladies !!!
    The continuation could be:
    But when ‘he’ tries to escape, the fiercely protective males thinking that one of their ladies is attempting to slip away, capture ‘him’ and send ‘him’ straight back in! The poor intruder is forced to spend the rest of his life a transgender! And the happy males exclaim, “She isn’t straight, but she’s a beauty!!”
    THE END.

  345. Aruna Vasu says:

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,
    About the story of the cuttlefish … imagine the chagrin of the intruder when it turns out that …
    “Main yahan kisi ’she’ ki talaash mein aaya tha ‘main’ nahin ’she’ ban ke, … aur ab yeh soch ke mera peecha kiya ja raha hai, ki main ‘main’ nahin ’she’ hoon”.

However, I am on the other side of the planet, dear - precious - sweet - friend… please understand that I never found your message from yesterday @ #420 until just NOW - the NEXT night!!! I still don’t know if there are any other messages from you for yesterday (I read them backwards… I know… I’m strange that way…) so now that I have left THIS answer to you, I will go back to yesterday and continue to read what I missed by being asleep last night… I love you… I would never intentionally not respond to you… know that, okay?

    Cheeky post aey. Umm….. I would have said how amny offsprings came about because of the the mating and i would have narrated the growing up tales of those offsprings … and then their offsprings and so on.
    As u can tell its a good story that’ll never end. Much like some of our TV serials. I hope no one gets an idea from this comment as it will be painful to watch.

    You are not that bored are you ?

    Renate, thank you for including me in ur poetry.
    Sudhir, I hope u didnt find it crass too…it was meant to be in response to ur comment #203. I copy pasted it from a site called dive-the-world.com and didnt bother to edit it. The contents, in my sleepy state last night, just seemed like XII grade biology.

    Love u all and have a beautiful day,

  354. serenita from boston says:

    Hi Mr. Bachchan,

    How beautiful is your script, however, the “period” or “full stop” is dneoted by a vertical straight line in the devnagri script form which hindi originates. Methinks you are too used to rapid postings!!!!!

    HA HA, reminds me of the oft-hilarious comedic ploy in Hindi movies where the amorous hero gains access to his love by disguising himself in a lady to join a group of identically burqa’d group of ladies. Ha Ha Ha. Ze fox in the ze henhouse!

    You have never looked better and the place suits you. I thought I would share the following with you before going to bed.

    1. No matter how delightful slices of life may be captured, there is no excuse for surveillance basd programming to enter our entertainment sphere. So, unless you are immune to what has happend to the once path-breaking and leadership oriented Brits under the warrantless, relentless, mind- and creativity numbing surveillance that current Brits are subject to, I would dearly plead with you with all of my chakras to yours - please choose another worthy recipient that would capture India’s slice of life portraits rather than contrived shows - you know once the camera is on, you can never guarantee authenticity anyways.

    2. On behalf of all our hard-working countrymen and admirers worldwide as well as the spirited people of the Bahamas, thier media……THANK YOU EKTA CHOWDHRY, MISS UNIVERSE INDIA 2009. You represented us so well to the world…classy, stunningly photogenic, stand-out in national dress, a great showcase for India’s design talent and ooh la la - the chicest blunt bob that set a trend across fashion circles everywhere.

    Of course Mr Bachchan, you may not have the chance, but as a global amith ambassador and a person who understands the value of nations (rashtras) not vague, large economic units aka NAFTA, EEU or other doomed entities….but people everywhere were very sad at the opportunity that was lost at this years MU contest. Blatant selection of pre-chosen candidates with a smattering of openly undeserving candidates made up the top 15 and the rest is history. More pictures at the sad little website http://www.voy.com/81120/ and http://www.missosology.org.

    Ekta did a terrific job representing us and for that THANK YOU DEAR LADY, no matter the negative posters, WE APPRECIATE THE EFFORT!!!

    By the way, the exquisite Miss Universe Singapore, Rachel Kum of did your host country proud - exquisite among the very strong Far East Asian contingent. (another casualty of this contest this year, did not place)

    3. If every you needed to read the “real” unfooled around with word of one of the greatest teachers in modern times, do read the Essene Gospel of Peace or what is otherwise known as the Gospel of the Holy Twelve…..much hidden and much kept out of the McDonald’s version…..tell me then you dont hear the exact words of Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita or Lord Buddha or by reading this know that the Lord is ONE as we worhsip in love and tolerance in many, many ways….

    Good night sweet prince! Hari Om. Still awaiting your yellow thread from day 485, forget not.

    Also, if you ever need to see a movie will gt under you skin… see Tarantino’s latest with Brad Pitt. Another deeply humanizing movie…District 9.

    Much love
    S




  355. Aishwarya, TVM. says:

    Lottus…a special hi for u. Love to lil Vanshika.

    Archana, my love to Chinmayi (Rakshita).

    Hi to Tasneem, Jyoti Chander, Valorie and dear Sharmila. I hope I didnt miss any of my friends out. Have a nice day all of you!

    Love,

  356. Dharmendra Singh says:

    Amitji, having done Marine Biology, I have witnessed these creatures at very close range in the sea at great depths. Yes, their mating habits are a little weird as you described but so are mating habits of many other creatures. Animals on land like Lions, Monkeys, Stick Insects, spiders, etc are all very bizarre to a normal person. When stick insects mate, during this mating, the female eats her male partner. Therefore, to avoid being eaten, the male brings a gift in the form of another insect for the female. Therefore, while he mates the female can chew on this gift and the male survives‼!
    The beauty of marine creatures in their natural environment cannot be described in words. I have spent numerous months only studying some of these water specimens in the sea, especially on reefs. They are absolutely stunning. If you ever see a nautilus, do sit down and see how it moves about, as I studied their movements.
    Anyway, how do I answer this question of yours, as it seems to me very fishy indeed.
    If I was the cuttlefish, I would do the same, as I would be required by nature to do what is essential to add variety to the genus for its survival. Otherwise, these cuttlefish will disappear like so many other organisms from this universe.
    If I was a human being, living in the stone ages, then once again if nature so required for diversity of genes for survival I will do what the cuttlefish do.
    However, as of now, I would not do anything like such as it is very selfish and very opportunistic behaviour only to mate. There are so many other opportunities if I needed more females to mate though I do not use these as I am a married person and very sincere to my wife since marriage. The trust is always there and on this trust, I have maintained our relationship for so long. I like it like this‼!

    So Amitji, do enjoy the write-ups on this fishy issue.

    Dear Amitabhji,

    Something you said has really been bothering me for two nights, and I just have to get “it off my chest” as we say in our American vernacular.

    What I need to respond to is your statement “the promo of BiggBoss finally opened and the level of resentment for my association with it still remained, among a few.”

    In this case I feel qualified only to speak for myself.

    My personal experience of your films, of Hindi films, is barely two years old. My personal experience of your blog is not quite three months old; the first day I gathered enough courage to leave a comment was July 2. But the vortex of your charm on this blog pulled me in, and here I am still, writing to you still, as if I belonged here, hoping that perhaps I do.

    And on day zero when the Big Boss surprise sprang out like a large, unexpected jack in the box, there was no resentment in my feelings, only shocked dismay.

    Initial disbelief, fearful uncertainty, bewildered consternation, doubt, disappointment, trepidation, concern, but never, never resentment.

    And I can’t help thinking that if I had such a strong emotional response to your news, how much more would it have been had I grown up knowing you all my life? So, although as I said, I can speak only for myself, I can’t help thinking that all of that EF torrent of protest came out of something other than resentment also.

    To me resentment is something that springs out of negative feelings such as dislike or hatred. All those other feelings I mentioned spring out of positive feelings like admiration, respect, hero-worship, care and affection.

    I am trying to imagine how that torrent felt from your side. Honest debate is one thing, but when suddenly the verbal missiles were all flying in one direction, I think it must not have been easy. It must have felt something like “O ye of little faith!”

    But we are your loyal blog companions and not, as that lady journalist would have it, your chamchas. With loyalty comes honesty. An honest comrade, an honest friend, admirer, fan, will tell you how she or he feels and thinks; a sycophant will not.

    We get upset with, we remonstrate with people we care about. A million other famous people could have signed up with that show and we would not have batted an eyelash. But you are not those people, you are “the one in a million” who truly matters to us. Look through what we say to you, and underneath the words you will see only… yes, only love.

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,

    Namaste. I am a teacher and writer in Washington, DC. Currently in an MFA program at a reputable University here, I am working on a project to translate some of your father’s poetry. He is a writer that I deeply respect and one whom I am extremely interested to make more accessible to English readers. As it is now, only Madhushala seems available in the US. My goal is to hopefully translate and publish a small collection of some of his other work. With that same sentiment that you mention on this blog about your posts not being available for those who do not read English, I hope to bring the elements of your father’s influential poems to those who are unable to read Hindi.

    Please know I consider it a great privilege to be working on this project. If you would like to be involved in any way, or have some poems which you feel might be significant to translate, it would be an honor to hear from you. I am glad to describe more about this translation project and myself. I can be reached at hrbtranslation @ gmail.com

    Thank you so very much for your time.

    Sincerely,
    Michela, Washington DC

    Dear Amitji

    Few versions of what I would have written after the exclamation marks….

    1
    The “sneaker” male must be thinking …maine kiya pyar, tume soocha balatkar !!

    2
    The sexual deception ends in a tragedy, as male cuttlefish are known to die after the process of mating and the female shortly after laying eggs – lesson to learn, promiscuity doesn’t live long !!

    3
    This mating trickery is not restricted to cuttlefish alone, as Fruit Fly, Bluegil Sunfish, Green frog and even Bed Bugs too exercise this deception. Thank heaven humans do not have such skills, or else the time it has taken to reach 6.8 billion people, from the days of Adam to Eve to now, would have been extremely short !!

    How about a prized recognition of the best post exclamation versions !!!

    Dr. Anshu @ # 82…..what you call camouflage I call good social skills because I think that is how we get to know others in a group setting. I do not think getting a yellow line from Mr. Bachchan prompts it but a genuine want to be accepted in a group makes people respond to others. … anyways I like your quizzes and your responses and you getting a yellow paragraph from Mr. Bachchan did not prompt this….lol

  361. E.T. says:

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,
    “Good night dearies … as I swim away from the scene
    of action … Heh.. Heh …Heh !!”
    I hope you did not disguise and swim in the neighborhood,
    because for you is not safe …. with your great anatomy,
    anybody recognize you !!!!! Ha ! Ha !! Ha!!!
    To be short , after exclamation mark, it is bad for male ( ha, ha ).
    How much protective the male can be, he can’t be sure what his lady
    is doing behind his back ! In our life I’m sorry for all husbands !
    For this reason in some countries , the nationality of a child is taken
    from mother !!!! Who is the winner in a fish life ?
    The one who is fooling around ! And it is the through for any life !
    The comments can go on, and on, but I stay in the safe zone.
    You are witty !!!! You have some good time over there !
    I like you in that “mood” , your tone is the one of a young person,
    And I’m sure you feel this way !
    Dear Mr. Bachchan,
    Good morning and have a great day ! (Are you going fishing soon ?
    Oh ! forget it ! Just kidding !)
    Love and happiness,
    e.t.

    My Dear Mr. Bachchan
    How are you?
    Good to keep the Hindi language going…..
    Nice to know you and your friend had a wonderful ‘fishy’ Day!
    I love the colorful pictures of the fishes …. Thanks for sharing!

    It’s interesting to read about the Pharaoh Cuttlefish.I’ve never heard or seen any thing like it.Nature is truly fascinating.Looking at the lifestyle of the cuttlefish reminds me of some human behaviour.
    Disguising to intermingle with the females almost sounds like having an adult halloween party!
    After the exclamation mark…i’m not going down that road!
    It’s amusing to read some of EF comments on ‘fishy’

    Have a Great Day…to you and your friend!
    May God always Bless and Protect You, Your Wonderful family and all Dear FmXt!
    My sincere Love always…
    Saroj

    Sorry for the late response
    Kashmira ji…Thanks,you too and all Dear FmXt are always in my thoughts and prayers…Love always…

    Dear Smita
    My Love and regards…
    Saroj




  363. Hitesh says:

    Dearest Amitji,

    Cuttlefish is actually a mollusk, which according to the dictionary is “invertebrate having a soft unsegmented body usually enclosed in a shell” I’m a bit saddened by what I heard about Lisa Ray - hope a cure is found and that something can be done…

    Hope you’re doing very well…I’m positive you’re going to have quite a bit to read today :-) I do hope that I get my first Blog Response :-) That’d be awesome :-)

    Lots of Love and Best Wishes,

    Hitesh

    Hi Mr Bachchan
    Hope my mail finds you in the best of your health ans spirits.
    The pictures are very fascinating indeed.I have been to lakshwadeep and I have witnessed the underwater enviroment on a boat.We also got few pics of that.The enviroment inside is very mysterious and beautiful.
    Thank you for putting up the story of Pharaoh cuttlefish.It’s quite interesting how he enters the enemy teritory and mates with their ladies.My comments after the exclamation mark though shall take time.So wait…but yes he must have said ‘I had a nice time with you dearies,byee’.
    Take care
    Love & warm regards
    Priyanka.




  372. Praveer kumar says:

    Intruder, knowing that opposition shall become forbearing on noticing them, changes its colour, with great cunning, into that of the female specie of the opposition party and pretending to be one of their group, surreptitiously slips into their domain past unsuspecting males, and once in, mates with their ladies !!!…………………………………………………………………………………But little does he realize that the opposition is as cunning as he, only perhaps more. For the opposition has runners that warn them of possible intruders ahead of time,whereby the opposition does a role change. The male camouflage to female and vice versa. And they wait for the intruder to slip in and attempt to mate with the “ladies”!!

    ~Praveer

  374. Sharmila says:

    Dear Lion King,

    At the outset, the male species is more attractive be it in color and form in the animal kingdom and restrictively so. The primary reason is because it is always the male that entices the innocent female with his body language with varying degrees of promiscuous behavior. Deviousness forming a big part of it. However the nobel male has godly intentions despite this kind of behavior, an intention to produce the next generation.

    The sole purpose of mating in the animal kingdom is evolution. The male is forgiven for his deviousness.

    The sole purpose of mating amongst homosapians vary from procreation , lust , power , fame and fortune. A lot of boxes to tick on sometimes if the reason is more than one. Both the male and the females indulge in deviousness of varying degrees.

    Have you noticed how magnificent the Lion looks, a true King, he walks with a swagger , his golden flaming mane bouncing with every stride he takes as he checks out his pride. In comparison the lionesses are plain Janes, who roll around in the golden grass of the Savannah and playfully put their paws out and beckon his attention. He then selects his mate, a careful thought process, mentally affirming which lioness will produce the strongest cub perhaps? A clever and nobel process of elimination all for the higher “genetic” good.

    Then we have in the homosapian world, Emperors and Kings ( men of power )who have at times a singular Queen and an array of concubines. The concubines are chosen only on the basis of their physical appearances. The Queen has been previously selected for her political connections and stature primarily, anything else is an added bonus. The concubines and the Queens will go on to produce sons, but only the Queen’s son gets the right of way. For this reason alone many a treacherous acts have been performed by the female species, for power alone. At times the Queen is not aware of the concubines and the “illegitimate” offsprings till its too late.

    And then in my world, I have two male cats who have been extremely promiscuous and whose acts I cannot mention in the confines of this blog. But the two fellows have impregnated many a female neighbor cats ,of course with the nobel intention of producing the next generation of tuxedo kittens. A complaint which I had to act upon left me no choice but to follow the doctrine of the late Sanjay Gandhi. My two boys have never forgiven me to date, they give me a dirty look and a low pitch hiss when a female struts past.

    I am sure many ladies in the homosapian world wished they had the liberty to err… tie up their men for nobel reasons of course.

    Sentosa is a lovely place, but it’s location is not very ideal. Too close to mainland Singapore and too much port activity around. Nevertheless, glad you had a lovely time. If you come to HK, I would love to take you on a mesmerizing cable car ride to Ocean park and we could dwell more on the lives of some interesting aquatic species.

  375. kalavati says:

    Sorry amitabh, I just cant help being naughty naughty. You dressed as a lady(Lawaris Mere Anganeme) break into a party as a dancer. They all exclaim, “Oh, what a Amazonlike lady!” and then start flirting with you. And you, start mingling with the ladies , starting your own flirting as as everybody looks on bemused and bewildered.

    The said male cuttlefish is an incurable casanova and intelligent to use Nature’s gift to turn into ladylike and enjoy until another smart one comes along.

    Many in the blog forget that talking about naughty things is not disrespectful because we should never forget that the entire world is alive because of this naughtiness.

    Respected Amitabh Ji,

    Namaskaar

    I am back after a few days break. I will keep writing to you when ever I have an opportunity to write to you. It seems that the fishes are smarter than the human. After the exclamation, where you stopped, the male will sing for the female “ aa ab laut chalane” or may be ” ek nai duniya basane dekho chale do dewane”.

    With my love and regards

Very glad I got thru initial violence because the rest of the movie is rivetting… EF friend “PRATIK” was right… And Aishwarya R. Bachchan is wearing some very pretty saris and singing and dancing - like icing on the cake! I have never seen Ajay Devgan in a ‘bad guy’ role - he is doing a very good job of it!This fellow, Akshay Kumar, looks alot like Tom Cruise - except more masculine! Over-all, I am really enjoying this movie. Just can’t stay awake anymore tonight as I get up at 5AM and it is now after 10PM - gotta go to sleep so I can get up and do it all over again tomorrow!

    आदरणीय भाईसाहब
    सादर चरण स्पर्श
    आपने हिंदी में लिखा है इसलिये मेरा कर्तव्य बनता है कि कम से कम मै भी कुछ शब्द हिंदी में ही लिखूं । एक मजेदार बात यह है कि आप की पीली राम-रेखाओं के बारे में कम से कम मुझे तो पता नही चल पाता । आज सुबह जब कम्प्यूटर शुरु किया तो मेरी प्रिय मित्र रीहम का संदेश देखा कि आपने 483 पर मेरे लिये कुछ लिखा है, आगे पढने पर पता चला कि यह कुछ से कहीं ज्यादा है । आपका ह्रदय कितना विशाल है इस बात का अनुमान लगाना नामुमकिन है, कितना प्यार आप्के दिल में हम लोगों के लिये समाया हुआ है इसका छोटा सा नमूना देखने को मिला । आज तम मैने आपके लिखे पर कभी प्रतिक्रिया नही व्यक्त की, यह एक भूल भी थी या कहिये कि मैने मान लिया था कि आप्प को मेरी खुशी का अंदाज़ा अपने आप ही लग जायेगा । चलिये तहे-दिल से यह बात कहने में मुझे कोई संकोच नही है कि मै भी राम-रेखाओं के प्रति उदासीन नही हूं, हां मैने यह अवश्य कहा होगा कि अगर आप कुछ मेरे लिये ना भी लिखें तो मुझे फ़र्क नही पड़ने वाला मै तो पको लिखता ही रहूंगा ।
    डाक्टर अशु की बात अगर सच है तब तो पने शायद मेरी क्विज़ पर भी उतअर दिया है , क्षमा चाहता हूं मैने वह नोट नही किया अब देख लेंगें ।

    हां हिंदी में टाईप करना कठिन अवश्य है पर नामुमकिन कतई नही, थोडे प्रयास थोड़े अभ्यास के साथ यह अवश्य संभव है, वैसे तो दुनिया में कोई भी कार्य असंभव नही, पर हर किसी के लिये हर एक काम आसान नही होता मसलन कॊई अगर मेरे से कहे कि मै आप जैसा अभिनय कर के दिखाउं तो क्या यह मेरे लिये मुमकिन है, सवाल ही नही उठता । आपको कोटि-कोटि प्रणाम कर हिंदी का उत्तर यहीं समाप्त करता हूं, आपके प्रति मन में जो श्रद्धा-भावनायें है उनमें कहीं कोई कमी ना आये ऎसी प्रार्थना मेरी प्रभु से सदैव बनी रहेगी ।

    The male fish of another group would first try to win the hearts of the female species.. look I may be from the other group.. so what.. I am stil a male species.. I am still capable of loving.. I am also able to reproduce to unify us.. to make our world a hybrid of new forms of life that would have best qualities of both of us.. if not now may be over some generatioms later.. you don’t say no to my love.. you gotta know that I love you and I love you as much as a male on this earth can love a female.. I can even sing a song for you running around you.. in your praise..
    Hai duniya usiki
    zamana usika
    mohabbat mein jo
    ho gaya ho kisi ka..

    My story or respnse ends.. I can not describe beyond that.. for me winning of hearts is more important than wha follows it..

Remarkable photos of the underwater world, magnificent kinds and the surprising story.. But i so understand that a narration not from an empty place, my dear.. Here deeper sense, instead of desire to tell to us about behaviour of sea inhabitants is hidden.. Though i can be and am mistaken.. probably i am too hypochondriac and inclined to try to discover other sense in words..)

    What a beautiful post today, nice photographs of fishes and the behaviour of cuttle fish is…. I guess its a law of nature…
    Hey did you see “finding nemo”?? its a great movie about a FISH

  392. shashi, (bangalore) says:

    hi amitji,
    lovely pics and a fishy post! i really wonder what i am doing here, when i would have much preferred to be underwater! what says you, eh?
    i was really intrigued the first time i saw the movie 20,000 leagues under the sea. i was simply fascinated by nature’s wonderful and bountiful creations. i have always been so so very impressed with life underwater.
    ok, well that Pharaoh Cuttlefish story was amazing. you should write posts like this which are a wee bit naughty but nevertheless a breather from the normal boring stuff that we go through in our everyday lives.
    Intruder, knowing that opposition shall become forbearing on noticing them, changes its colour, with great cunning, into that of the female specie of the opposition party and pretending to be one of their group, surreptitiously slips into their domain past unsuspecting males, and once in, mates with their ladies !!!—- Once that is done, intruder is one little satisfied cuttlefish for he knows that perseverance pays. pats himself on his scaly shoulder and says, “yes! i have done it!”. he then disappears quietly into the night and manages to sneak his way out before he is caught and taken to the gallows. but manages to assure his lady-love (or ladies) that he would be back soon! the teary-eyed ladies wave goodbye with their dainty fins and head back to the confines of their home. the ladies manage to cleverly camouflage their tears in the salty waters of the sea and the males don’t seem to notice any of this.
    weeks have gone past and there is no sign of intruder. the seas seem to look lifeless. the ladies pine for their loved one. just then, they hear some commotion and all the ladies rush to see what is happening. Oh God! it is intruder. he has been caught and he is being taken to trial. after a long arduous trial he is being sentenced to 5000 lashes with the seaweed. after hearing the sentence, some of the ladies swoon. but one brave little lady stands up and says, “this is not fair! if this punishment has to be meted out to intruder, then we too should be punished. for, it is with our consent that intruder did what he did.”
    the jury seems to be in a dilemma. the point is valid. gents or ladies, the law must be fair. but the chivalrous men who have thus far protected their female species so fiercely against forces of nature and the other species, cannot bear to see their ladies go through this gruesome punishment. hence, they all gather and have long discussions behind the rocks underwater. after considerable deliberation on the matter they voice their opinion to the jury. the male representative says, “Your honour, we understand that our ladies have committed an act which is unpardonable. but we have also taken our vows to protect our ladies, which we did so far. but looks like we have failed in our duties somewhere. why else would all our ladies take this dangerous path and bring dishonour to all the males here? hence, we have decided that, if the ladies feel that their happiness lies with the intruder, then we would want to annul this marriage between our respective spouses, so they can be free to do whatever they wish to.” He continued “WE SHALL FORGIVE THEM AND WISH THEM HAPPINESS WHEREVER THEY ARE.”
    the jury had never come across a situation like this underwater ever since the creation of the universe. after a long discussion amongst the learned members of the jury the verdict was pronounced “KEEPING IN MIND THE WELL BEING OF THE LADIES, GENTS AS WELL AS THEIR OFFSPRING, THE JURY HAS MADE THE DECISION THAT THE LADIES WHO HAVE ERRED AND THE ONES WHO DO NOT WISH TO STAY WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE MALE PARTNERS, MAY PUT FORWARD THEIR REQUEST TO ANNUL THE MARRIAGE. THIS REQUEST SHOULD BE PUT FORWARD BEFORE THE NEXT HIGH TIDE.”
    The ladies where thrilled with the verdict. most of the ladies agreed to put up their requests before the high tide (although, they did not know the reason behind this thing to do with the high tide). their requests were granted and the marriages annulled. years went by after this landmark decision.
    it is now said that the ladies live in a harem with the intruder somewhere in the salty seas where every lady cuttlefish and intruder cuttlefish live in harmony with their offspring. The high tide brought with it other cuttlefish from faraway currents and the males then found their mates in the new school of cuttlefish and they continue to live on with their progeny.
    LIFE GOES ON UNDERWATER. MR.INTRUDER HAPPY AND CONTENT IN HIS HAREM AND THE MALES HAPPY WITH THEIR NEW FOUND LOVE. They all lived happily ever after………………..SUCH A WONDERFUL TOUCHING LOVE STORY ISN’T IT?????????
    OH! by the way the secret behind the happy ladies in the harem and the intruder seems to be a species of algae in the deep seas…………..which seems to have those powers that has kept Mr.Intruder in the pink of health and he has thus maintained his vigour and vitality that would be required to keep the entire harem happy……………something called …….algagra or something……..not sure about that. Hey Folks! please dont shoot me with a double-barrel gun. just something for FmXt to have a hearty laugh! laughter is the best medicine after all isn’t it?
    OK SIRJI, AND BELOVED FmXt now its time to go get some breakfast cos i’m ravenously hungry and time to get back to the mundane chores. IF ANY OF YOU LIKE THIS STORY I SHALL WRITE MUCH MORE STORIES BUT DO GIVE ME LEAD LIKE SIRJI DID AND I SHALL TAKE IT FROM THERE. OK FOLKS?
    bye for now and god bless all of you. thanks sirji, waiting eagerly for your reply……………..lotsa luv

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,

    Some of the possibilities in the Cuttlefish Story:

    The male Pharaoh Cuttlefish would discover that the baby cuttlefishes (from the eggs) do not have the colours nor resemble the male Pharaoh Cuttlefish and out of rage is intent on “mummifying” the new Mummy Cuttle fish ……… what a sad tale !!

    Not over as yet, there is a twister here !!!!!!

    The Mummy Cuttlefish would change colours to s”cuttle” the plans of the Pharaoh Cuttlefish and elope with the Intruder, from the other Community and the true father of her baby Cuttlefish. They elope to a different sea-bed and live happily ever after !!!!!!!!

    Moral of the Story - “Life can be colourful and a bed a roses too” !!!

    Has all the ingredients of a Hindi Movie …… Love, action, drama, communal harmony and disharmony, romance, scenic beauty, etc.

    Thanks & Regards

    Dear Sir,

    It was great to read ur Blog in Hindi today. I am teaching Hindi to my 6& 1/2 year old son these days and myself come across such grammatical mistakes that we make while trying to pen down the words we speak. And today while reading ur blog, along with my son sitting right next to me, could notice similarities. In fact, he was the one to point out the spelling of “Bhaiyon” and “Behanon” … since i don’t have the software, he couldn’t type it.. which he was desperate to.

    I felt such pride in realising that he has started understanding the phonetics of Hindi as well as he does of English.

    I believe, being a part of ur extended family we all have the liberty to talk to you (my Father Figure) like that…. And above all that you are the best!!!

    Regards

    Good morning, Amitji. Loved the fish stories and pictures on your blog. I’m so thankful and feel personally grateful to you for a lot of things that will take a very long time for me to recount , but in a nutshell, for making my life so much richer in so many ways. But most of all, I thank you for sharing yourself with us so generously, and for making us THINK.

    I hope you have a wonderful day ahead. I went back to yesterday’s blog, and it was so nice to see the bands of gold so generously bestowed on members of the family. You really, literally, light up our lives.

    Dear Lion King,

    The reef world is a world of its own, from colorful coral reefs, to the common nemo , turtles , jelly fish etc. So pristine. The second picture of the jelly fish is great, but behind that divine look lies a sting which is lethal. The Australian government is marvelous with their conservation efforts of the great barrier reef. Breaking a coral reef and taking a chip as a souvenir can attract a fine up to $10,000.I have snorkeled at the great barrier reef and it was an experience of a lifetime. Never before, never after!

    In India, the olive ridley , the smallest of sea turtles needs more protection. It is already an endangered specie and the beaches of Orissa are its only nesting habitat. I wish the government takes more initiative to protect this wonderful specie which is fast dwindling.

    We can learn a lot from the determination of these animals, not just on the mating scene. The female penguins in Australia swim in the torrential currents of the pacific ocean for three days non stop, braving the threats of seals and sharks to hunt for food for their little ones who patiently wait for them in the burrows of Philip Island. Overfishing and dredging has left very little food for these brave penguins and disastrous level of ecological imbalance has destroyed many marine species . The rangers had mentioned there was a time that the penguins would be back with food in hours, but no longer. When the sun sets, these mother penguins tentatively return back to their homes, every call of the young one is unique and can be identified by the mother. There are hundreds of such burrows. At times the mother does not return, the young ones frantically cry out as they have not eaten for days. If the rangers do not save them. They perish.

    When man realizes the chaos he has created and rises over the lust and greed, it will be a new beginning.

    dear amitji,
    it was very interesting to know about pharaoh cuttlefishes and their behaviour.
    myself a biology student,this information means a lot……..thanks for sharing it with us.
    meanwhile i would also like to share a important newspiece with you……..its also about the wonderful creation of the nature…..

    A Mysterious Tree in NALGONDA — Andra Pradesh — India

    At a glance you may be confused the tree with a massive trunk with a ‘Baobab’

    tree (which is renowned to possess the largest tree trunks of the world) but, this is yet

    another unknown specie which is seen in the close proximity of a hermitage deep in the

    dense forest in ‘Andra Pradesh’ in India.
    On having a close look at the bark the unbelievable figures of creatures engraved in the surface are seen
    on the entire tree trunk!!

    Absolutely real!!!

    i was unable to post the related pictures to make you believe that this newspiece is really true.
    well, if you will give me your id…….i can email it to you…..

    GOOD DAY,
    WITH LOVE AND BEST WISHES…..

    Dear Amitabhji
    Nice to see the sentossa park aquarium. I had been there last year. To carry forward your story of cuttlefish, I would have written that even the animals understand that to enter the other’s territory, one has to be silently and patiently behave. Why then we human always go for head on collusion with competitors. This can be a good management style.

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,

    It would be great if the blog gets translated into as many languages, both Indian and foreign, as possible. But it will become all the more difficult for you to read and reply to all those comments.

    The pictures were great. And the Pharaoh Cuttlefish story was really naughty. And the naughtiness seems to have rubbed on you.

    Here is my version of the conclusion to the story:

    The intruder’s joy at having conquered the citadel and preyed on the females of the opposition camp was short-lived. He was caught and his ambition of becoming the Pharaoh of the species was cut and scuttled. And there onwards, his tribe came to be known as the Pharaoh Cuttlefish.

    The moral of the story: Paraya dhan parayi naar pe nazar mat dalo
    Buri aadat hai yeh aadat abhi badal dalo
    Kyonke yeh aadat to woh aag hai jo
    Ik din apna ghar phoonke phoonke phoonke re!

    Regards,

    Melwyn

    Hope i will be in your touch for a life long time.




  428. NO: 1 FAN FROM SRI LANKA says:

    My dear Sir,

    Very good morning to you.

    Many thanks for the wonderful blog & for the pictures. Lovely!

    Everyone would love to express themselves in their own language instead of English – no doubt about that. But in this case, we cannot express ourselves in our own language coz we are writing to you from outside India, hence we have to write to you in English coz we have no choice! In my point of view, I think that the members who are writing to you in HINDI have no reason to feel like this coz I’ve seen that you used to reply to them in Hindi too. I know that it’s really difficult to type in Hindi /Tamil etc. coz our Keyboard is in English hence we “ALWAYS” prefer to type in English rather than Hindi / Tamil etc. It’s easy for us to identity the characters coz we are used to that & if we start to type in other languages, it takes a lot of time for us to find the Characters! Am I correct?

    So dear FmXt who writes to dear Sir in Hindi – be patient – I’m sure he will find a best solution to this asap. :D - coz he says “But the moment I get back I shall initiate talks with them to find out where and why the delay is. Once that process is in place I am certain there shall be no cause for any complaint.”

    Oooookaaaaay – I give below some facts about Cuttlefish – hope you enjoy reading the same.

    “Many cephalopods are short lived and only reproduce once. For example, most tropical and semi tropical species of octopus live for a year or so, and the females die after their single brood of eggs hatch. The males also have short life spans. This strategy seems odd to us; people tend to associate long life spans and iteroparity (producing offspring more than once) with intelligence. It seems a waste for something as intelligent as a cephalopod to have such a short life cycle. Mammals, however, are just one of many groups of animals and we should not expect other groups to have the same reproductive strategies that we do.

    The cephalopod strategy can best be summed up by the phrase ‘live fast and die young’, though there are a few exceptions. Sepia officinalis is fairly long lived for a cephalopod, they live for 1.5 to 2 years, depending primarily on temperature. Because of their short life spans, it isn’t uncommon for a cephalopod to reach maturity and reproduce in a home aquarium.”

    Run wild - Run crazy!! Ooooooooooh boooooooooooooooooy –Now I got you!!! LOL :D :D :D D

    Take care, rest well & enjoy every moment of life!

    May God bless you!

    With lots of love, kind regards & all good wishes,

    Shyama

    There have been some typos sona had becoms sons.. at one place cuttlefish B had become cuttlefish A.. that is an error.. serious error.. I hope you are still able to enjoy it..
    My sincere aplogies to all non-hindi speaking friends.. I can not do nothing to impress them what went on afte the two stranger cuttlefish had become friends.. These are all hindi love songs.. My knowledge of western music is very limited.. and I did not know if the cuttlefish could perform in English..
    yet one stage the cuttlefish A would have probably said:

    Hello! I just called to say that I love you..

    and initially the cuttlefish B would have replied :

    I beg your pardon, I never promised you the rose garden..

    Well somene could do it for western folks much better than just this.. that way I too would know some western numbers..
    Love to all cuttlefishes B from all cuttlefishes A ( just sincere love to all )

Have a heart and a good day and don’t forget to admire the neem tree drenched in rain. Being the breeding season for fish, my aquarium is blessed with fifty odd babies.

    Dear Amit ji ,

    Sadar pranam…….!!!

    Just felt like changing from a regular modern hi hellow to something more respectful and more binding a head bent acknowledgement as i wud do from someone of my fathers age.

    These days dont know why but i have undying desire to meet you n just touch your feet and feel the hand of bless touch my head……….think that will make me feel complete or clear the many doubts n cloudniess of thoughts i have up there in my mind..

    On the Fishy affair as above in your blog that you want yor EXFM to reply can only say that……….Once he mate’s………he would only be having on his mind that one on finds out and if they do he would have it at the cost of his life i suppose……………others would not make him thier leader for sure…….Just want to add to anything that is done by trick or keeping things in dark cant be enjoyable n Luv………….its only LUST……….and lust is not heart quenching .

    Most of us always mix up LUV n LUST and when in life we realise it we become more better, composed n at peace in everything……….luv has a calming n positive effect to life……….its it not so then its not luv…..

    GOD BLESS U……..

    LUV U…….

    अमिताभ जी
    सादर अभिवादन !

    “कई” लोगों की धारणा है कि अधिकांश हिंदी फिल्म अभिनेता/अभिनेत्री हिंदी फिल्मों से पहचान, नाम, धन आदि अर्जित करते हैं लेकिन वे हिंदी बोलने और लिखने से परहेज़ करते हैं, कुछ को तो शर्मिंदगी भी होती है

    आवश्यक हो बहां अँग्रेजी का प्रयोग विवादों से परे रहेगा.

    जहाँ तक आपका सवाल है…. आपकी विवशता हमें समझ में आती है. तकनीकी समस्या है.
    हमें भी इंतजार है….. Bigadda Ji come on.

    Though you have completed the story of behavioural oddity of Cuttlefish.
    But your exclamation mark says remaining story itself.
    Like 60’s-70’s movies -

    At the cost of sounding corrective, I have to say this. There are no full stops (.) in Hindi. In Hindi the end of a sentence is marked by what is known as a ‘purnaviram’ (|).
    This is on the same key as the ‘backslash’ on standard keyboards. You just need to hold the ‘ctrl’ key at the same time, just like if you were typing in capital letters.
    Hope this influences your future writing forays in the vernacular.

    Oh My God! at the outset whe I was describing or rather introducing I noted that cuttlefish A and cuttlefish B both were declared males.. so sorry.. I turned them into gay.. cuttlefish B actually of the female gender.. that is official intimation.. for avoiding any courting action from the cuttlefish community..

    DEAR AMITJI,

    FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR POSTING THE NICE PICTURES OF THE UNDERWATER WORLD FROM SENTOSA. AND ALSO GIVING US A BRIEF DESCRITION ABOUT THE WAYS AND MANNERS IN WHICH THE SEA LIFE GOES ON, ESPECIALLY ON CUTTLEFISH, IT WAS INTERESTING.

    I THINK THAT CUTTLEFISH RESEMBLES THE HUMAN NATURE MORE…. OR IS IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND ( A TOPIC FOR DEBATE ? ? )
    ALL OF US ACT ON THE PRINCIPLE OF “ATTRACTION OF OPPOSITES”.

    MANY OF US WOULD LIKE TO BEHAVE LIKE THE FISH MENTIONED ABOVE……HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH

    TONS AND TONS OF LOVE AND WELL WISHES ……….HAVE A NICE DAY

    dear amitji
    As I wrote before the sea is a mysterious and magical place you do not know what’s down there and what you can come across
    And our lives are like that we never know what we designate tomorrow (that’s how I see the face of things)
    Courtship like that in our water world (film) man will do everything to win the woman he desires (and vice versa).
    There wear a costume (like changing the color) and there will be people who are not only to please the opposite sex, there is a strong fight any man / production, that has delicately Courtships congratulations to reach the target and those of “the ends justify any means” and prepare enough to win the whole campaign .
    Such is our world at any time and place of production or a person / player and usually all for the strong survive …..
    Oh amitji never thought of such challenges let me ha ha ha
    Have a lovely day and will continue to fascinate us
    Love always and forever

    Hi,(a soft hi…whispering)

    How are you?The cuttle fish story is interesting.I think the lady cuttle fish has the uncanny sixth sense so she will never allow the intruder to come close to her. & as the cuttle fish is protective he will take care of the rest…intruder will be killed ,& then …& then…now its the cuttlefish to take care of the lady cuttlefish ,& not to hurt her , not to leave her as she is very sensitive & needs to be caressed .

    Dear Monalisa!
    I take serious objection to your comments.. first and foremost for replying in English… and secondly instead of appreciating his efforts you are trying to find faults.. it is all right.. I have no sympathy for such people.. and my worst feature is that I can not hold back myself when I am angry.. don’t know how to be polite.. yet I would not mind if my words do not put you i some stress..

    The grammar and typos or whatever the errors that you have framed.. they may be in place.. yet do they or do they not communicate what he wanted to say in the first place..

    As for his Hindi knowledge.. and the requirement of dialogues being written in Hindi probably you are among those unfortunate Hindi lovers who did not see the KBC part 1 impressed by is Hindi people from even Tamilnadu were impressed and watched his programmes.. it is a known fact tha our kind in Tamil nadu do not want to acknowledge Hind as important.. I think though the questions on the screen were in English he used suddh Hindi for entire KBC -1 series.. I wish you could be more polite with someone who is the son of the soil besides being the topmost actor that India produced..

    I am sorry brother for being so harsh on Monalisa but if yo don’t like my this act.. I am not afraid of any consequences.. I know how difficult it is to type in Hindi.. and I am from the world of computers myself.. people should have some decency while registering a complain..

    Dear Dr. Anshu

    Now this s not a complain.. even if it sounds like one.. I do not seem to knwo which day did brother replied to my quiz.. it is all right.. could you substantiate on this or it was just to add what all he might be doing.. all other events were true and you have been getting yellowed quite often.. not complaining.. I am rather happy.. I wish he does it to more people.. I mean responding.. to more people.. I know it is quite difficult.. yet to reply on day 383 when some of us would not know tha he had replied I suggest a way to find out more easily.. I know going to day 483 or backwards is quite tedious on this blog..

    In the google type Amitabh Bachchan day 483.. chances are one of the links would be from bigb.bigadda.com that wold actually be taking you directly there..

    HO,MY DARLING AMITABH..
    good morning to you my dearst…how are you this morning?i hope you still got that naughty mood of yours from last night…
    well ,all i can say it was very hot here in israel last night after reading your post…and we are very pleased…very much….and thats all i can say……:))
    i thought about the story and i came to think about something….
    well…if the intruder is changing to a ‘female’ so what would the male think about thier females…if they see them mate???i think that they would surely show their females what a man can do!!!!its a different kind of love…male and femaale…..yes a females love is very sweet and gentel…but a man has got to do what a man has got to do!!!!right???
    so…what can he do being a ‘female’ at that time???think about it…..
    have a wonderfull day…
    thank you for the lovely post…just loved your mood on this post….
    i cant waite to read what you have in mind after that exclamation mark….
    love you so very much…
    all my love to you as allways…
    yours for ever…

    Blogbaba,
    :-)) This is a huge grin…grin generated form your cuttlefish story.
    First off, Plural of Fish is Fish and not fishes. LOL. I opined yesterday that we derive pleasure from finding other’s mistakes. I do too with my own baba…Fish it is! LOL.
    Secondly, What would I do if I were the male cuttlefish?? I’d probably pose like a female myself and assume the color of the females in my gang and the when the other male arrives….chew him up and spit him out/ Beat him black and blue/ Curse him “avada Kedrava” or better yet, make him stay in the female form for ever and summon “Naach, basanti Naach….! LOL. OR all of the above though not in the same order.
    I am female and it is kind of goofy to imagine what i’d feel like to be in the male’s position. Now Siree, do tell us what your treatment to the predators would be. :-))

    I am sure we’ll split our sides reading your comments and follow up tomorrow. In the meanwhile, I am keeping all fingers, toes and tableware around here crossed that you’d go reading this far into your comments.

    The hindi opening took me very long to read. The sentiments are rightly expressed and once more I reamin swooning how breathtakingly beautiful the language sounds specially in your words. :-)

    Much love form your blogbeti L addanki.

    The night F1 race in Singapore what are the chances of Indian force.. are you going to watch it.. (or the event has alredy taken place..)

  471. SB says:

    Once the intruder successfully consumated the relationship with the females, the true identity was revealed to all ! This caused an uproar of anger amonst the males of this particular sect of the cuttlefish community. Although the sly nature of the intruder hastily decided to survive this I must think on my fins ! All the female cuttlefish had gathered into a little shool being guarded by the males. The intruder, built up his strength and swam at full speed into the shool at the same time changing colouration to merge into the females once again. This caused the intended havoc and chaos causing everyone to flee in all directions. Taking advantage of the situation the sly cassanova also swam for his life to safety, and so began the story of the new breed of cassanova cuttlefish. They believe in the philosophy to swim with the waves is easy we swim against ; )

    Dear Lion King,

    It is so sweet of you to make all your fans feel at ease by asking the server to translate the blogs in hindi and other languages. Despite being a tamilian from Bangalore I am very fluent in hindi. It was my second language in school and initially I was not very good at it. Neither of my parents could speak hindi properly, a tactic which worked for my proficiency in hindi was my insistence on watching many hindi movies rather than go for tuitions as the teacher was the no nonsense kind and I was scared of her. My father readily agreed to my pleas ( Dads always do with their daughters) as he was worried that I would fail the subject and the daughter has made a decision, my Mum thought it was a ridiculous idea and a clever ploy to entertain myself. ( which it was ) What happened thereafter was a remarkable positive turn around in the marks for hindi and a negative turnaround in other subjects. The hindi movie marathon as Valorie calls it came to a screeching halt after two months of fun and frolic and I was packed off for tuitions.I still remember the ICSE hindi which was so tough, Kabirdas ke dohe etc. We learnt a poem of your erstwhile father as well which was included in the syllabus. Today I have gained proficiency in hindi over tamil and kannada. Tamil, I can speak but cannot read or write. Kannada I can read and I struggle with the speech.

    It doe not matter what language you write in, we can possibly understand you in French and Russian too, as love needs no language.

    Here I am describing about committment…it may sounds weird but upon analysis you may feel how much true it is~

    “Golden eagles have an interesting way of mating, where they connect in the air while flying at eighty miles an hour and then they start dropping and they don’t stop dropping until the act is completed. So it’s not uncommon that they both fall all the way to the ground, hit the ground and both of them die. That shows their committement. ”

    Its just an example of committement ..it instigates our thought process does we human having such an intense comittement???

    I agree with you though he may well have altered the order of nature were he a Cuttlefish – by the look of the comments the females would be wearing the fierce colours!

    Respected Brother
    Sadar Pranam

    I do not think I have great love for ODI after T20 has set cricket on fire worldwide.. yet I would not mind having some international cricket to be watched after a long gap.. these days a few months appears a long time.. after a poor showing in the world T20 cup I look forward to the Tri-Series, Champions trophy and champions league.. I would prefer last to be most exciting being of T20 format.. Yet I give my readings for the first game of the tri-series

    India start on the backfoot with the news that the reliable Gautam Gambhir has been sidelined due to groin injury.. yet does it make the life easy for Kiwi bowlers .. I doubt.. does it make easy to pick the final eleven.. I seriously doubt.. could India win the game hands down.. I can not say..

    The difficult tak of picking the XI.. Dhoni is known to not retain my XI.. he always makes a change or two.. yet It is my duty being an Indian and being a true fan of Indian cricket team to suggest a team and a gameplan to the very able and fortunate skipper..

    Open with Sachin and Yuvraj Singh ( a left-right combination), follow with Dravid, Dhoni, Raina, Pathan, and use Praveen Kumar, RP Singh, Ashish Nehra as the medium pacers and include both Harbhajan and Mishra to tweak their arms..

    I am afraid if he would dare to include two regular spinners and we all know his faith in Ishant Sharma so that is where we are likely to differ.. he may not even play Kumar despite his great swinging abilities and might see one of Nayar or Kohli to e included.. whatever the kind of competition which is on display to find a place in the playing XI is slightly easy with the absence of Sehwag and Gambhir ( te current best opening pair for India is not playing could come as slight disadvantage) and he may not like to send Yuvraj as an opener.. then who else could open with Sachin.. your dig brother at palying XI..

    Hope it will be a fierce cmpetition an that India would like to draw early blood in the tri-series.. Good Luck Dhoni and team India.. do well..

She is such a big fan of yours and yesteday i discovered that my younger son is also your fan. He is only 2 years can`t talk but yesterday in Zee cinema Laawaris ad was coming and i changed the channel even he started grumbling, i understood immediately i changed zee cinema then he kept quiet. This is the 5th Generation. My life`s first movie was Yaraana which i saw in Basant Cinema. In those days we did`nt had television at home and i never went to anybodies house to see movie.
    Now this is very bad i feel u like people whose name starts from alphabet “S” like sweta, shankar etc…. u keep writing them only.

    P.S. i m sorry to write all this but, i m a child to u.

    With tons of love and regards
    Rani

    Dear Sanjith,Shankar,Jasmine J,Manoj ,Aishwarya and FMXT

    Let me too leave you all with a little thought. What happens if this Cuttlefish of AB’s post swims in to the community where a fish like Mousumi is there?
    Ka-tal kar denge use !! Yes, he would be killed (non veg you see). Har baar jeet uski jeet nahi ho satki, hamara bhi time ayega …ya aa gaya?

    Hello Again,

    Interesting and bit not for little kiddos who come to the blog.

    But to me the intruder must be severely punished chopped off his “little thing” which drags him to do such bad thing to do.

    I think the intruder is a culprit who robes everything for his own pleasure or accomplishment. “Accomlpishment” because sometimes it is a male thing to be with as many women as possible “sort of a victory thing” which to me is not victory but a sad thing because I feel the person is insecure.

    What goes comes around so it is all up to the time. But time only favours the cunnings not the straight honest person.

    But thats life that is the way nature has been and it is not just now but this sort of practice( cunnings ) used to happen in the past also many many years ago. We can read in the old books of history etc.

    I would exterminate that intruder if it was to intrude my territory on my loved one.

  507. RAVI P MALHOTRA says:

    Dear Amitji, Good Afternoon. What you describe about Cuttlefish is also true about human beings. There it is physical change of colours here in human beings it is a mental make over. The desire to reach the chosen one makes one plan so many ways of good behaviour till the love blossoms. One dresses up to be noticed talks to be heard behaves to be appreciated and ultimately some day says what the heart wants in a weak moment with the opposite sex. Here also there are many who guard. First the family and then friends but the desire to win makes one pass both the hurdles in some or the other ways.
    I must say Cuttlefish has unique ways and change of physical colours help its male to achieve the ultimate goal is very interesting and intelligent work done by the male fish. However the female could have raised an alarm but looking at someone who has overcome so much for the act the female must be also conniving in the act of eating the forbidden fruit. Everything is fair in love and war becomes true here.
    Hope you enjoyed the visit and certainly this story has caught your imagination. Must have been a theme in many of your films and you must have also changed so many colours to achieve the sweet end result.
    Every love story will have such ingradients of the male speci protecting their females.
    My sincere regards to those who do not change any colours and still win over the well protected one in front of everyone with honest means. Very ideal way to win and most difficult one to execute as a plan. There may be failure written at every step and still one goes on till the end.
    Ravi P(yaar) Malhotra

    ******QUESTION TIME*****

    If Amitabh Bachchan is reading this and many others then,

    A question for everyone including Amitabh Bachcha. However, Big B doesn’t need to answer if he chooses not to answer and avoid.

    We all watched Koffee with Karan - Superb chat show I ever enjoyed and I actually downloaded all the episodes in one go those I never watched (MY personal Favorite was Father Son Duo Big B and Small B - it was a total entertainment.

    Anyways - Like films where indian film industry is short of stories and always try to pick up scenes/story/screenplay/music from another film and make it look like their own creation.

    OUR own Lovely Farah Khan is now hosting “Tere Mere Beech Mein” thanks to here string pulling of stars because of having 2 super success of her directorial movies. When I saw the advert it just clicked “O My God” KJO the director turned chat show host - now it is turn of “Farah Khan director - turned chat show host” MONEY MONEY MONEY.

    So what is it a pure genius of COPYCAT and just add extra INGREDIENT of draging some people as controversial. WHat I have noticed in here is “the bachchans are being dragged indirectly hitting at Aishwaria Rai.

    If you are reading this (Big B) I humbly request that IF you are requested to attend this chat show then pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee DON’T. This show is nothing but a 3rd grade indignitry show which is aired just to hit at someone else.

    But rest is your own choice you are your own decision maker.

    But I watched that show for like 2 minutes and changed the channel moved off it. and that woman Farah Khan - full of attitude sometimes i feel sorry for her husband ROFL poor guy.

    My dearest Mr. Bachchan,

    Thank you so much for your Brief in Hindi today….felt good to read…I am reassured to see that my flair for languages hasn’t dimmed with the passing years! And thank you for the updates on the scuttles and the scuffles of the cuttles…..

    So the male cuttlefish wouldn’t mind disguising himself as a lady cuttlefish, just so he can begin a propagation process with ladies outside his fold? And then, after the Xclamation mark, our young wierdo returns home to his Momma, all cross eyed, only to hear her say…..I’ve TOLD thee before and am telling you again…Insincerity is EXHAUSTING!!

    Why do you do this to us time and again….???? Sudhar jayeeye Mr. B, bachche bade ho gaye hai!!

    Love and more,
    Always,

    Comment (194) Day (74)….

    Dear Lion King and AB school of Quiz….specially back benchers…

    Cuttlefish are marine animals of the order Sepiida belonging to Cephalopoda class (which also includes squid,octopuses , and nautiluses). Despite their common name, Cuttlefish are not fish but molluscs .

    • Recent studies indicate that cuttlefish are among the most intelligent
    invertebrates.

    • Cuttlefish generally range in size 15 cms to 25 cms.

    • The origin of word cuttlefish can be found in the old English term cudele.

    • Cuttlefish are sometimes referred to as the chameleon of the sea.

    • Cuttlefish cannot see color.

    • The blood of a cuttlefish is an unusual shade of green-blue.

    • There are over 120 speciesof cuttlefish currently recognized.

    • The male signals to the female for mating by raising two arms.

    • If other cuttlefish also raised the arm both male duel with bright colors play,
    until one of the player leaves the field.

    •The bright zebra color , in which a cuttlefish is often displayed , signals
    willingness to mate to a female.

    • In some species , during the period of mating , there also fight between
    males.

    • Males and females mate, entangling their short tentacles.

    • The male now transfers a sperm packet with a specially modified one of its
    eight short tentacles.

    • The dark colour of spaghetti “Seppia” comes from cuttlefish ink mixed to the
    spaghetti dough.

  526. Jivan from York (UK) says:

    Dear Amitabh Saab-ji

    I reckon:-

    The male fish from the school starts to smell something fishy (pun intended) with his extra sensory nostrils, so not only, does he change his colour to bright red, the colour of anger and blood, but he also a powerful audio wave that only males from outside the school can detect. The sound wave changes the other males’ colour back to the original colour, hence he gets caught red-finned (get it?) before any act of mating can take place.

    Then, a fierce fight takes place as an action replay from a certain Amitabh Bachchan movies with he “Dishum-Dishum” onomatopoeia, the villain fish swims away faster than a shark and the boy and girl fish live happily ever after!!

    Do you like it?

    Love to hear from you.

    Take care, Jivan




  527. Gabbar says:

    ………and the idea of your associate with Big Boss 3 —> I didn’t like it. Sorry.
    It’s just that shows like Big Boss or Big Brother are so lame and pathetic that people actually know these days how to play.

    These Big brother or Big Boss show don’t do any good to anyone except the producers. It is like a Zoo where you bring in animals from around the country for others to enjoy for while. When that animal’s time is up he is thrown out and another one is brought in.

    I know your intention is good and noble but are the intentions of the people behind this show good and noble? I don’t think so.

    In the UK they have shut Big Brother I think forever now because of its popularity is losing the touch. Above all it creates a lot of anger due to many things which upsets the public such as racism, violence, also one of the contestant this year when evicted tried to committ suicide.

    Shows like this is for fame hungry people who if failed will destroy their lives unless they come out of it. I am not a fan of Big Brother or Big Boss I haven’t watched these kind of shows in years ( last I watched for when Shilpa Shetty was in the house because it was first indian celebrity) but look the outcome. Shilpa Shetty not just WON but got famous all in the UK and International level but at what cost ( Jade Goody’s life was ruined totally).

    So Dear Big B Sahib, You are great star and you are one of the greatest human being inspirational person. It is your choice to make your decisions and stand by it and we will also (I will also stand by it) because I choose to, but when I feel wrong then I just say it is wrong but still stand by you.

    But Big Boss 3 despite it’s popularity and all that big money it is an unethical show which has its big negativity.

    But as you said you have discussed the matters and things maybe here is where the show may turn to the right path and may get its decency where people would come out as victorious despite not winning or being evicted before others.

    Lets see. But somewhere in my heart it tells me these shows are not good for anyone but the producers.

    Its all about the Benjamins and Bapu …. AKA MONEY MONEY MONEY (benjamins -> refers to Dollars & Bapu -> refers to Rupees) Money has the pictures of noble good man but it deeds are bit harsh.

    Sometimes I wonder that on Dollar they should write “In Money We Trust” instead of “In God We Trust”

  531. Afzal Khan says:

    My dear Mr Bachchan

    As a man with many sisters my response is perhaps different. One who steals will always steal. One who protects will always protect. It is this “game” of life that we lead and the protector often is the one that loses since you must protect your whole life and if one theif slips through then the protector has failed.

    I can only tell you, as I am sure you know, the protector when he goes home is at peace with himself all the time and the thief laughs when he is young and naive but once he grows older he has regrets.

    I do not know what the next world holds but as a protector myself I canonly say that assume for protectors worst case scenario that there is no next world and the thief who got away now will not be punished at all in the next life…………it is still fine since we are not defined by whether we will be punished or rewarded in the next life by our efforts in this life but rather we live better happier lives in this world by giving more than you receive. A man/woman who is an asset to their community gets the love of the community in return. A man or woman who is a liability to their community gets nothing.

    Love from a community to an ordinary man is what dreams should be made of.

    My wife likes you very much and we are coming Mumbai on 31st October this year for 6 days.
    Is there any chance that she could meet you.
    Again my best wishes for your health and happiness.

    When we think en English, we can write in English only. If we try to translate, the undertones will be missing.

    If we think in hindi or tamil, we can write in those languages only because translation can never handle local idioms and usages.

  535. Narayan Balaji says:

    It is good to see the translation of your vieww in Hindi in Devanagari script for the followers in that language. I like your impeccable expression in both the languages. Most of us do not think in the language in which we desire to express and there starts the handicap. In that respect (without offending any one) people from South India are more advantageously placed especially migrants who have a mastery over many languages. I for one can easily read, write and speak in five. It can be termed occupational requirement. Here, I remember that once (Late) Mrs. Indira Gandhi congratulated the translator while she was on a tour to Assam for having given the right punch to her original speech in Hindi and later came to know that the person who did the job was a Tamilian. Age is no bar to pick up a new language. Try Marathi - having been in Mumbai.

    Dear Amitji,

    In tamil there is a saying “Thadi koduthu adi vaangarudu” which translated in hindi means “AA bail mujhe maar”. Here we are, a set of efemxtians, going berserk pouring thoughts unabated and you go ahead and prod us to indulge further. But then from you, our karta of HMCOUEF (abbreviation for Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Other religions’ Undivided Extended Family), a command is a command is a command. So here goes :-

    Intruder, knowing that opposition shall become forbearing on noticing them, changes its colour, with great cunning, into that of the female specie of the opposition party and pretending to be one of their group, surreptitiously slips into their domain past unsuspecting males, and once in, mates with their ladies !!! Will he break into a ‘Rang barse” Ha!
    History tells us that Charles Darwin’s theory was slammed by the ‘believers’ since it scandalised the theories of origin of man as laid out by the scriptures. The peacock was the example taken. It had those extra long feathers used flamboyantly for the rain dance and ultimately for courtship. These feathers made it very difficult for the male to fly out of danger in an emergency! So the detractors asked how come evolution did not shed this handicap? Lots of research later it went on to prove that while most adaptations of the body were for increasing chances of survival, there were some to increase chances of superior progeny. This probably explains the facial hair in the humans, the crown on the rooster, the flowing mane adorning the lion and of course the capability to change colours in the cuttlefish.

    Hope that sounds ABish.

    Sirji this reminds me of that line where you demarcate the male from the female fish to the awestruck customer by saying “In machliyon me jo mard hai who tayerta hai our jo nari hain woh tayertein hain” Hilarious the way you say it with a serious face.
    End Line – Joke
    BEST COMEBACK RESPONSE OF THE YEAR

    If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the policeman’s credibility…

    Q: ‘Officer — did you see my client fleeing the scene?’
    A: ‘No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.’

    Q: ‘Officer — who provided this description?’
    A: ‘The officer who responded to the scene.’

    Q: ‘A fellow officer provided the
    description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?’
    A: ‘Yes, sir. With my life.’

    Q: ‘With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?’
    A: ‘Yes sir, we do!’

    Q: ‘And do you have a locker in the room?’
    A: ‘Yes sir, I do.’

    Q: ‘And do you have a lock on your locker?’
    A: ‘Yes sir.’

    Q: ‘Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?’

    A: ‘You see, sir — we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.’

    The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year’s ‘Best Comeback’ line — and we think he’ll win.
    Yours as always

    Hello My Precious Treasure,

    Thanks for the nice pics. The pics r priceless as U have taken them, Ur name is attached with this, so, they r priceless…………… oh! These brownish things r fishes, amazing…………

    It is really a very good news that Ur blog will come in regional languages…….. now U can reach many more hearts daily………….. U will get more blessings…………….. U can extend Ur family …………… I really appreciate that effort ………………… really feeling happy.

    The story of the life of cuttlefish is very interesting. It must be very hard job to peep into the life of these fishes and understand their lifestyle. But where U have stopped with the ! mark if I start writing from there, it should be like this, “ and they start singing a song in a beautiful underwater garden. After spending few days of dating they get caught by the girl’s father and detached from each other they try to meet again and when they meet again they sing – kabke bichhre huey hum aaj kahan aa ke mile……. From Lawaaris……………….. then they try to marry which becomes impossible due to the brother of the girl and the gang of original villain who wants to marry the girl. There is no family member of the hero as he is orphan. But he takes help of his friends and he elopes the girl and comes to Arabian sea near Mumbai where he marriages the heroine. Suddenly some dadas of Mumbai started chasing them and making their life horrible. The hero is a good stuntman, so, he manages to win the battle. After that they lived happily ever after.”

    No more bheja fry today, lot done, work pressure increasing. Now waiting for a cup of tea. And oh! I forget to have cucumber after lunch, ok will have it first and tea will be a bit later. Done.

    Bye bye, take lot of care

    Have a happy cuttlefish day……….. heh heh heh……..

  546. Vinay says:

    Dear Amitji

    Have been an avid reader for close a year of the blog belonging to group of FMXT who would come back every day to see what new thought process, what new development, what new agenda would you put forth today. Once in a while we would also may be have a lingering doubt that may be today Amit ji has given up and said nothing today to post, nothing much to say or sometimes a fear that may be our own FMXT’s comments or mindless media ramblings may some day frustrate you. But no, everyday there’s sunshine, fresh, clear, thought provoking, fearless, honest and clean.

    How is it that somebody as busy and occupied as you would take out the necessary time for this activity while we mortal folks seemingly do not have time for simple things in life like reading a book, tending a garden or talking to the family. You also seem to spend good amount of time with your family, in front of TV, with books, to new assignments, to functions, to visit people in hospital etc etc etc..

    We sometimes wonder whether we should believe that one person is doing all this or do you have any secret pact with GOD for 8 hours extra every day.

    Request you to consider answering some of the questions below whenever you feel like, in case you feel that the questions below are worth your time and effort. Always wanted to put this post with questions but “never got time”,

    a)
    Sir, with respect have always wondered how people of extra ordinary talent and fan following stay grounded. Why would they respect elders, pray to god, care about fellow humans. There are two questions here WHY do they and HOW they are grounded. It applies to you more than anyone I know
    b)
    After a long stint into something with extra ordinary results and achievement, what makes some one like you wake up the next day morning and feel there’s something left to do? There is small tangent question to this, what is the motivation factor at the beginning of the career, during peak of the career and during the period at which you could think of retirement or slowing down as an option
    c)
    You would have noticed during your long stint many people who would be as or almost as talented, but would fail to make as good a mark, or become as successful. Why is it? As a tangent to this, how much does luck influence our path and how much of that luck is because of something done by us.

    If you could get time to come this further sorry for bothering you and writing such a huge comment, i notice already 506 is up.

    Will always be,
    one of the top contender
    for the biggest fan
    ( of both you and your blog)

    My dearest Mr. Bachchan,

    I hope you are very well and still reaping the benefits of your therapeutic excursion from yesterday. Nature has provided us with these readymade stress relievers but its a pity we do not have easy access to them in municipal life. Holistic therapy clinics and spa’s often rely on the soothing effects of sea life to enhance their treatments – I guess the idea being to coordinate colours, shapes of the fish and the variation of their movements – to control the rhythm of the mind and senses. But I still think there is nothing like experiencing real thing underwater!

    A wonderful idea to make blog ji translatable; however long it takes to implement by the powers that be! Yes the point about your film audience is obviously true but I imagine the need for the national languages will increase once you return to national television with your new fans wanting access to you. I’m sure the EF fold is bound to widen very rapidly!

    I was sorry to read of your continuous back pain as per some reply from yesterday. I do hope you will feel an improvement very soon!

    Wishing you a lovely evening and hoping too that you got the desired results from reading the comments…just remember YOU asked for it! Hehe..

    With much love,
    Jasmine

    Amitji,

    Check this out Pharaoh cuttlefish - at http://www.sergeyphoto.com ..really some nice pictures..

    The little that i know since I helped my son with a project on fishes, when he was in 8th grade, that cuttle fish is known as Masters Of Disguise and are Colorblind, Well even in the underworld and animal world male dominates the females, its sad though the female here after laying the aggs does not live for too long.

    Its early morning here .. need to go have a very busy day ahead of me, so before i get carried away on writing more.. and loss track of my time…

    Love and Peace

    Dear Sir,

    Oooooooo! Under-sea-world photos! Heaven is really down there, not up there…
    The colours, the grace, the tranquility, the quietness, the scenery, the mysticism…But what a shame about the effects of global warming which has already had a devastating effect, driving some species into extinction!

    The above photos are just spectacular and even after I had read your post I wasn’t quite convinced that the brown thing in the bottom photos is a cuttlefish. How clever!…I really mean the skills of the cuttle by the way…As for you, I know you excel in all jobs, getting the attention of others, along with their attraction to your charm, looks, and intelligence is no major task for you, you cheeky Sir!

    This Post of yours….Hai hai, aaisi baatein karte hai kya? Toba re toba!!
    What a topic! What a discussion! Mein bhagti hoon!

    Actually I think I am glad we are concentrating on a lighter topic today, telling you the previous two on THAT thing you are sooooo… looking forward to doing have not been too comforting.

    I can see what you’re getting up to! You have explained it ALL and yet you say “I am ending this little story here without any further comment”…Dear Sir, ab comment karne mein baaki kya reh gaya hai hmm?? But you know what? You gave it away….you gave it away…!

    You have just said “I SWIM away from the scene of the action..” Tell me Sir, the one who so “innocently” swam away…WAS IT YOU IN DISGUISE?? Don’t act so innocent! I can tell by that Hey Hey of yours!!! In fact I saw the Ablu Bablu transform himself into a cuttlu! I watched how you infiltrated the enemies territory, having planned everything in advance! I watched you knock on the door where the beautiful female lives…

    Cannot write anymore, I would rather run away!

    Love,

    Mr. Cuttle: E Khuda Aaj Ye Faisla Karde,
    Use Mera ya Mujhe Uska Karde.
    Bahut Dukh Sahe He Maine,
    Koi Khusi Ab Toh Muqadar Karde.
    Bahot Muskil Lagta Hai Usse Duur Rehna,
    Judai Ke Safar Ko Kum Karde.
    Jitna Duur Chale Gaye Woh Mujhse,
    Use Utna Kareeb Karde.
    Nahi Likha Agar Nasib Me Uska Naam,
    To Khatam Kar Ye Zindagi aur Mujhe FANAA Karde.
    Ms. Cuttle: Bekhudi Ki Zindagi Hum Jiya Nahi Karte,
    Yun kisika ka Jaam Hum Piya Nahi Karte.
    Unse Kehdo Mohabbat Ka Izhaar Aakar Khud Karein,
    Yun Kisika Peecha Hum Nahin Karte

    Respected brother
    Are you on Ten Sports..

    Indian bowlers have done quite well so far.. 141 for 8 from 41 overs.. I have to be with the internet following.. I worl late here in the office on Friday and Saturday..
    Hopefully India should pull up an easy victory.. but then they say the game of crocket is not over till th elast ball is bowled.. 9 more overs and complete Indian innings are still to go.. yet I have a feeling that Sachin would give Yuvraj a run for man of the match.. He should ensure a comfortable win for India..

    Dearest Mr.Bachchan,

    Run wild run crazy. Keep it civil even though we are all adults, but lets have some imaginative inputs…Hmmmm you are having your share of fun aren’t you at our expense this time around, why not?? I would say whether its the cuttlefish or a human, the males will do anything to mate a female.
    Just go to show the male can’t do without the females.hahaha.Our movies are a good example of the male being attracted to color vibrancy and loveliness of the female and even using a “getup” done as one. The one that comes to mind which had novelty to it was of Rishi Kapoor.
    I have been to Sentosa several times and yes the underwater world was amazing the one spices of Fish you are talking of which looks and has tusks like the Elephant pics I have, which if the server allows will put it up for you and for the EF.
    I am sorry was away yesterday, had to show our faces to the Czech Consulate and got our visas. I will miss you when I am away end of the month but will somehow catch up your blog and read your post everyday, and that’s a promise.

    Dear Sir,

    I sincerely enjoyed reading today’s post.It was good and interactive at the same time.
    I too had visited Sentosa and was zapped to see varied species of aquatics,it was mersmerising.Trust me!!!
    All i could think of was about the creativity of the almighty and thought about what all i could do to get one such “underwater world” in our homeland.
    If am not wrong i dont think we have any such thing here.
    To see fierce sharks from such a close proximity was an experience of its kind.
    Saw jelly fishes,sharks,crabs,snakes,horse fish and so many other with so peculiar names.

    Coming back to the story you just narrated,it was amusing and i could not hold myself from getting a little naughty here.
    Till now i thought that the trait you just narrated about was posessed by humans but was in splits when i learned that it existed in animals too !!!!!!!!!

    It compells me to say that god has perhaps designed us in a manner in which we get attracted to female counterpart.Lets keep male chauvinism aside and accept the fact that women are so desirable.We make every attempt possible to get that attention,and we all love it.
    No wonder there was one study that got published some days back about the time men spent staring women.
    It came out 49 minutes.Every man young or old spends a good 49 minutes staring women.Oh my god!!! I had to believe this .I have not counted the number of minutes i stare but speaking conservatively i can reserve a good 10-15 mins of my day to this rather daring a task.
    Gosh…a secret revealed but who cares am sharing it with my Ext family n ppll who dont admit are definetely lying.Trust me…

    The common thread that binds nearly all animal species seems to be that males are willing to abandon all sense and decorum, even to risk their lives, in the frantic quest for sex….Ha Ha Ha Ha

    Well after exclamation i would have said -”…….And Cuttle fish exclaimed Yeh Dil Mange More !!!”……………….MEN WILL ALWAYS BE MEN…..
    I m very embarrased to have put what my “khurafati dimag” could think of.

    Love always
    Rohit

    Hey buddies…. especially Abhaya and Anita who sound a little distraught! Listen guys, I was just joking (I know it flopped). If I had to compare cuttle fish to human beings and still make it relevant to all of you…. the group had to be the EF. And I just chose a hypothetical situation where we turn multi hued like fish….. Aargh! This is what I hate… imagine having to explain a joke! Sorry…. but looks like few of the EF got the joke. :-(

    Chiraag dil ka jalaao, bahot andhera hai
    kahin se laut ke aao, bahot andhera hai

    Kahaan se laa’un, woh rangat, gayi bahaaron ki
    Tumhare saath gayi roshani nazaaron ki

    Mujhe bhi paas bulaao, bahot andheraa hai…

    Sitaaron tumse andhere, kahaan sambhalte hain
    Unhi ke nakshe kadam se, chiraag jalte hain

    Unhi ko dhundake laao, bahot andheraa hai

    Kahin se laut ke aao, bahot andhera hai
    Chiraag dil ka jalaao, bahot andhera hai… bahot andhera hai

    Dear mr BIG B,

    it was gr8 reading your blog and the pics r too nice but one thing i want to say you

    sir pls stop the commercials of big boss 3 as after every break in the middle of the program it starts showing your commercial, but everyone knows that big b is hosting the show and its enough to make a show hit b coz it has the big b fame

    so it is no need of over commercials that is been showed in between all the program after every break , so i request you to make it less b coz before starting the big boss the show is already hit as it has your name and fame with it

    i hope you will take care of this

    Thank you very much for sending us all the lovely pictures and information on all the fish and what an intersting tale on the cuttlefish changing its colours like a chameleon and also the most intering story that the cuttlefish in order to mate outwits its opposition.
    Amitabhji, we cannot write any more better than you - so I cannot think of what to write after your exclamation mark !
    Please do take care.

    hi Amitji,
    the story of Cuttlefish described by you in my opinion can be put under darwin’s law
    of the survival of the fittest the primitive law of nature in which in order to keep alive and to mate they develop various technique and then pass these traits to next generation by that species keeps on evolving and do not extinct.

  616. Tilak Rishi says:

    Dear Amitji,

    “….. mates with their ladies!!!” While they were enjoying the game to its climax, the curious Lady Cuttlefish asked Mr. Intruder, “How clever of you to disguise like a female. Where did the idea come from?”
    “You know I’m a Bollywood buff. I have seen so many of my favorite actors disguising as female in films. On top of the list, of course, our very own super star Amitabh Bachchan in Lawaris. Remember the super hit song ‘Mere anganein mein tumhara kya kaam’. Next the great Khan, Amir Khan in the Coca-Cola commercial; how cute he looks dressed as a woman. In between the list is so large that if we go on and on, it would take several sessions to complete it. Still, as we keep going, let me name some more of my favorite actors playing female parts: Biswajeet in Kismat when singing ‘Kajra mohabbatwala’, Rishi Kapoor and Paital in Rafoo Chakkar, Kamal Hassan in Chachi 420, Govinda in Aunty No. 1 and the entire lead team, Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade in Golmaal Returns. But the best of them was Ritesh Deshmukh playing a glamorous woman in ….I forget the name of the film, was it Money Money?
    “No, I don’t know much about movies. But now I know what you learnt from them – interesting and very enjoyable.” The lady replied, reaching the climax of her all time enjoyment.

    Some time later, Mr. Intruder was pleasantly surprised by Lady Cuttlefish, who entered his domain disguised as Mr. Cuttlefish. She was too overjoyed to wait for another session with Mr. Intruder, and tried the same trick to enter his territory.
    “Wow! Where did you get the idea to disguise as a male?” Asked Mr. Intruder, extremely happy to have the unexpected company.
    “I followed your example. I saw Rani Mukherjee playing male cricketer in a promo of Dil Bole Hadippa. I thought if she can do it, so can I.”
    “That’s great. And you know, now producers are offering Rani only male roles in their pictures !” Exclaims our Mr. Bollywood Buff.

    With regards

    Tilak Rishi (USA)

    For Dr. Anshu and folks,

    What do peace loving pigeons do when a cat gets in their midst? Fly overhead and stay there. Cats can’t fly. They wait and wait and then go away to find rats.

    This doesn’t apply to scorpions and snakes. Pigeons don’t eat scropions and snakes. But they have the claws to wring them to death.

    So the message is that the natural world is driven by natural instincts… lets not mutate…

I jus thought how do I find which question Mr. Bachchan answered.. it was too much.. if he had.. and i had missed.. I miss his yellow lines for sure.. only Reeham reminded me..

    It was nice piece that you wrote and I made a bad note on it.. besuraa kar diya haan.. nahi.. chalo aaj bahut logon ko geet ghazal sunaye hain.. ek tum bhi sun lo..

    I don’t know whether you like old songs still I have thrusted one upon you.. tumne ek khwaab hi to dikhaa diyaa thhaa by saying what you had written.. tumhe kya maloom thha ki mai itnaa buddhu hoon..
    but I think the song fits the situation well.. itna bhi buddhu nahi hoon..

  634. Dharmesh Trivedi says:

    Anything is fair in love and war and fish is doing exactly that. Man is very cunning when it comes to pleasing woman and woman are gullible not knowing man’s intentions. By nature, man always wants to be more woman than what he got. This is what fish is doing it . its behavioral which been around millions of years if not billions. One classic example is Krishna, who had done his share of love with 12,000 (?) I believe. Krishna is the best example of the way man should behave, in love and in war. Even though we mortals know that what he had done its not possible not due to social structure but sheer charisma of this man. Woman do not mind sharing his man but man do. Man looks at the woman as a property (?) .. remember pandava put his wife draupadi when they were loosing game against shakuni …

    never marry a girl who does not love you (that marriage will be disastrous) if man does not love a woman its ok but other way around never works ..

    i know i am going all over the map however back to fish. its normal its natural and thats what happens in every day life .. we just humans hide it that’s it .. we man are becoming good actors :)

    Dear Lion King,

    After beating around the bush about evolution , ecological imbalance , hindi , I should have addressed this first. What follows the exclamation marks.!!

    This is the climax scene of the movie. No pun intended please.

    Kuttle Fish - A ‘K’ production

    PG Rating - “A”

    Viewers discretion advised. Suitable only for mature audience.

    There was a clever Kuttlefish who did not scuttle
    By hook by crook he played with mettle
    He rode on a high and made some puddles
    crazily gasping in his lady love’s cuddles

    Every night he spun on a new nigh
    He made many a Kuttlefishy cry
    Some waited for him with baited breath
    Painfully longing with no fear of death

    Under the guise of a woman he rode
    With no fear of his risky mode
    The Kuttlefishy were ecstatic
    For here was a fish that was not plastic

    Until a wet night he was caught
    screaming with despair and distraught
    His color had worn off whilst in the act
    His twin tentacles could no longer retract

    The Ku Klux Kuttle Klan said on this sinful night
    we banish this fellow outright
    They cussed he be devoured by the Japs
    and fall mercilessly in their traps

    This clever Kuttlefish phoned his niece
    her name was Greenpeace
    She picked him up in a big ship
    A narrow slip between the cup and the lip.

    The Kuttlefish lived in Kuttlewood
    As a Producer in a tepid mood
    His heroines were cast on his couch
    and money continued to fill his pouch

    When he died, on his grave they wrote
    He arrived grandly on a boat
    He was not a fish and he was not clean
    For he was a love machine.

    THE END

    Speaking of cuttlefish…
    I think most species (including humans) display most creativity and ingenuity (although sometimes mixed with ridiculous foolhardiness) when it comes to inventing ways in which to mate with attractive members of the opposite sex.

    I guess it was worth a read…………cud have done better i guess……..

    All the best for Big Boss……….the promo is really good….Big boss mecomes more intersting to watch ……..eagerly awaiting it now………….

    I know you care and love………….Our love with you always.Love for Amar Singhji 2 for his speedy recovery

    Hi Mr. Bachchan
    Nice surprise, as you addressed in hindi after a long long time. The description of the pharoah cuttlefish was excitng. It was interesting to know about their behaviour pattern, not far from humans except they we cannot change our colours!

    Jyoti, Happy Krishna Jayanti to u too. Belated b’day wishes to ur bro.

    Sudhir, Absent-minded prof? To a T! Those ghazals were beautiful, do them more often. Keep away from the ‘fishy’ ones, u just proved u are a pure veggie!

    Dr. Anshu, I loved ur comment too. The truth is sometimes frightfully funny!

    Love,

  674. ibrar hussain says:

    “After mating, the cuttlefish is soooo tired that he has no energy to put on his disguise….and when he tried swimming his way past the now-suspecting males…the leader of the trespassed cuttlefish tribe in a rage of anger, similar to the Hindi film actor Amitabh Bachchan, runs towards the trespasser and pierces his stomach with his razor sharp teeth….the intruder floats in a pool of blood. The intruder’s ‘lady’ faints and passes away.

    Very sad.

Umeed To Iss Baat Ki Bhi Hai Ki Ek Din Main Aapki Dost Ban Jaungi. Aur Phir Hum Phone Pe Direct Baat Karne Lage. Dekhiye Dost, Jee Haan, Main Aapko DOST Hi Bulaungi. Main 38 Yrs Ki Ek Housewife Hu, Kerala-cochin Mein Rehti Hu. Agarwal-Marwadi Hu, Lekin Dil Ki Bahut Badi Hu. he he he. Anyway, Dost, Mera To Apna Koi Frnd, Saathi, Saheli Hai Nahi, Isliye Main Aapko Hi Apna Dost Maanti Hu. Aaj Ke Baad Aap Mujhe Reply De Sake Ya Na De, Lekin Main Apne Mann Ki Har Baat Aapse Share Karna Chahungi.
    Bahot Akeli Hu, Main Apni Duniya Mein. Kaash, Aisa Ho Paata Ki Aap Sachmuch Mere Chat-Frnd ya Phone-frnd Hote.
    Anyway, TV Ke Reality Show BIG BOSS ko To Aapko Hi Host Karna Chahiye. Aap Bhi To BIG BOSS yani Ki BIG B Hain. Bas, Main Itna Jaanti Hu Ki, Aapki Hosting Se Is Show Mein Chaar Chaand Lag Jayenge. Waise Chikni-chupdi Baatein Karna To Mujhe Aata Nahi Hai, Lekin Jo Feel Kiya, Jo Sach Laga, Wahi Keh Rahi Hu.

    Very Dali-esq photos. Sundar hain.

    Haan vaisey kai logon ko paani ki ghaat hoti hai- jaisey ki mujhey hai. In baaton mein andh shraddha nahin, vishwas sa hai.

    Kal ek asadharan anubhav hua. jisey angrezi mein mob fury kehte hain, acchey bhaley madhyavargiya log, apni maryada bhool kar itna gira hua vyahvar kyon kartey honge? bahut sochney par ye laga ki ek assurance sa hai ki unhey koi kuch nahi kahega is liye wo nirbhay hain. shocking. but it was learning for me.

    Also, since I was travelling, saw some very nice train compartments.yahan local train mein naye dibbey jod diye gayen hain jo na keval bahut akarshak dikhtey
    hain, unmein kai zyada suvidha bhi uplabdh hai.

    that’s the end of my gujju hindi. try key number milengey? :)




  694. Umesh Yadav says:

    Dear Sir, I realy can’t guess what would you write as a continuation of the fish story!! But I would continue with something like this…. This mating with the ladies would result in the progeny which will be of the clan which will be different that either of the parental group and that is how so many diffent groups emerge with the capacity to change their colors and be as genetically diverse as possible.
    If seen in bollywood context, after mating with the opponant ladies, the male fish would sing a song: le jayenge, le jayenge… dil waale dulhaniya le jayenge!!
    I wish you had taken the picture of the cuttle fish we are talking so much about, may be in different colors.
    Best wishes for Aladin

    It is amazing that you went to see some fishes. On one of our excursions, we stopped at a port called Brest, in France and visited a place called Oceanopolis. an exciting place full of sea life. We saw some beautiful colorful fishes and some different and interesting sea life.
    Just sending you a clip of Anupji singing a Ghazal written by my Pujya Gurudev on the Laxmi Narayan Yagna performed on a ship. The Ghazal was written in the morning and was composed By Anupji that evening. We had a wonderful time. Hope you enjoy this beautiful piece.
