Vijayadashmi Greetings to all my extended family. May the blessings of the Gods be upon all. May good prevail over evil ever and may the days and years to come be forever filled with happiness and joy, prosperity and success.

A most prosperous Dashera to all !!

dash-1

dash-2

Vijayadashmi - the day good triumphed over evil. The day according to the Ramayana, Ram triumphed over the evil Ravana. The day Durga Ma returned back to her husband after having taken a break from destroying the evil Mahishasur. A day of special prayer and celebration. A day when effigies of Ravana are burnt symbolically by igniting him through the arrow that Lord Ram fired at him. The destruction of Dashanan - the 10 headed Ravana !

The house is dressed up in flowers at all the gates and doors of the house in a long string of the ‘genda phool’, the prominent yellow flower that has been the main ingredient of all garlands that are offered to the Gods in prayer. Special food is cooked and a lot of the auspicious work that has remained unattended is now initiated. All the cars and vehicles are decorated with ‘genda phool’ garlands over the bonnet and grill. Machinery, that element of prosperity, is garlanded too. Friends, relatives exchange greetings and good wishes. The young take the blessings of their elders by touching their feet. It is a special day. And soon there will be another special day, when Ram shall return from exile after 14 years and after having defeated Ravana - Diwali, the festival of lights !

I was born on Vijayadashmi day. So according to the Hindu calendar, today is my birthday.

The launch of the audio for ‘Aladin’ today amidst promotional interviews with TV and print. A non stop activity starting from the early hours of the morning. Its at the Marriott Ball room and conference area. Media set ups have been done in around 10 locations within the premise and we shift from one anchor to another in a continuous flow of questions - all of them the same. I have always maintained that the greatest test for an actor has been this moment of film promotion when, you are expected to give 40 different version answers to the same question !!

It is now late and the jamboree has just ended. And tomorrow starts another - the press conference and interviews for COLORS and BiggBoss 3, in two cities, all in one day !!

Marketing has reached such massive proportions, that an entire industry has erupted in and around. The reliance on that initial week end of business is driving producers to make sure no effort is spared to achieve this goal. And no matter what we may have to say in complaint, the system works. Good marketing has produced good results at the box office. That old belief that the merit of the film shall eventually emerge victorious has long since been overridden. By the time you wait for the merit to show its face, 5 other films have shown their merits.

I am meeting the media after a long hiatus and I find them generous and kind and devoid of any hostility. Each one has something to say about our blog - one even having a print out of yesterday’s and quoting words and expressions from there for me to elaborate upon. This is such a huge departure. And I wish to compliment them for it. Compliment them for acknowledging our little space, this little world that we have built over the past year.

I had during the IIFA at Bangkok planted a small inches long sapling at the location of our events. Today I am heartened to show you how it has progressed over time and become a handsome healthy tree, symbolizing the efforts that we all make in greening our environment. And environment cannot be talked of without the mention of that great Dr Pachauri, who was present there last night at the GQ awards, to receive his recognition for the immense work he has put in towards the awareness of global warming. Dr Pachauri and I hail from the same city, Allahabad and not because of that, but just the level of commitment that he as an individual has put in and continues to put in, is truly inspirational.

The tree then, or should I say the sapling then to the tree now ~

1

There is something quite uplifting on the advent of change in our lives. A change in job, an acquisition, a change in relationships. Changed car, changed routine, anything brings that little extra energy. I changed too today. I changed my mobile phone machine. And I cannot describe to you what an excitement it has been to be able to accomplish that.

The number of word count at the bottom, just read 786. In our Muslim brothers and sisters the numerical has religious significance. Salim-Javed used it to perfection in ‘Deewar’. Maybe I should test similar ground now and actually check if it works. So gutten nacht !! Shubh Ratri ..

Good night

Amitabh Bachchan

    Sirji….I really loved to read a positive article in TOI which says all your films are not releasing together as the producers realized that Big B is going to compete with Big B…:) It is your charishma that even you can’t dare yourself to compete with yourself.What a wonderful realization….here is the link for full story~

  12. Vineet Sharma (Chicago) says:

    Bachchan Sahab,

    Let me start by saying that I am amazed by your writings. You are a prolific writer.

    I wanted to know if you would be willing to address a question or two about your personal life. I am a lifelong fan of yours and believe that you are not only one of the most talented actors India has ever produced but are also one of the finest human beings in India today. I do not like to hear negative comments about you from the media or anyone else. However, I have felt cornered by family and friends on many occasions desperately trying to defend you not as an actor but as a human being of high moral stature and a good citizen of India.
    My opponents seem to be well-equipped and fully stocked with ammunition sourced from various media reports over the years. I, on the other hand, try to battle with them based on my beliefs and a few positive articles I could get my hands on.

    I feel that in order to ensure that my belief in you is not misplaced, it would be best that I use this medium to pose a couple of questions to you. I absolutely do not want to offend you. Hence, I am seeking your permission to pose my questions in the interest of laying to rest all sorts of arguments and negating accusations that question your honesty and integrity.

    Please let me know how you would like me to proceed. I greatly appreciate your time.

    Thanks,

    Vineet

    Dear Amitji,

    Happy Dusshera. It has been an eventful day—watching the kids in the colony build their own ten headed Ravan, fill him up with fireworks and then see the delight on their faces as they watch their work of art blow up into smithereens in a minute. But India is like that- full of colour, celebration and lovely legends to fall back on.

    I was born in Durga Puja too– but to be born on Vijaya Dashmi is indeed a lucky person!

    I liked the green tree…. and as I see my garden grow, I can sense your excitement. I feel it when on one single day I count 85 roses on my 10 plants (!), when I see the first gladioli bloom, when I see another leaf unfurl on my favourite traveller’s palm. It makes my day!

    Good night. Have loads of work demanding my attention!

    Anshu

    Hello Amitji,
    Hope you are doing well. It has always been a pleasure to watch your films and read your writings.
    Why don’t you write a day’s blog about some of the struggles of your life? It will be an inspiration for those who want to give up.
    Warm Regards,
    Manav
    P.S.: A very Happy Birthday!!!!




  17. prashant says:

    Sir, I am from Nepal. Vijaya Dashmi is the biggest festival here - the entire ten days is called dasain. Kathmandu empties out, people go back to villages, the turbulent politics stops, no newspaper is published for five days - unparalleled anywhere else, but tats good - why shoudl we replicate modernist political practices. As someone who has been to nepal, would be gratified if you can talk about your nepal experiences - during shooting and otherwise. Amar Singh ji who was here last year said you were planning to come but the pashupati controversy prevented you from being here. that may be politically controversial to comment on - but it would be great to hear your views on south asia (except pakistan, whch gets its more than shre of coverage) and nepal in that context, and your experiences.




  18. Abhishek kumar says:

    Hi Sir,

    Happy birthday to you and Happy Vijaya dashmi all (including you!!)

    Sure change changes a lot of things for good. Keep sending us the photos from the latest iPhone GS.

    sir,read mumbai story–may be u could help them bit
    Rs 10 lakh swine flu jhatka
    By: Ketan Ranga and Alifiya Khan Date: 2009-09-28 Place: Mumbai

    Family has spent all its gold and savings to treat breadwinner; now they plan to mortgage home, sell car to settle hospital bills

    Businessman Pradeep Rekhyani (47), is unaware that all his savings and family jewellery have been spent on treating him for swine flu over the last 32 days. And the next to go are his Santro and the flat at Patliputra in Andheri.

    His family has already spent Rs 5 lakh on his treatment, with Rs 4.76 lakh still pending in bills.

    Rekhyani’s meagre Rs 1 lakh health insurance cover was exhausted in the first few days of the treatment.

    “We have already spent Rs 5 lakh, and used up all our savings, sold all our gold and even borrowed from relatives,” said Karan (18), Rekhyani’s son.

    Why the high cost

    Rekhyani had earlier been admitted to the ICU of Orbit Hospital in Mira Road on August 26, where he tested positive for swine flu.

    Debt Trap: Pradeep Rekhyani has been in hospital for over a month

    On September 20, he was shifted to the isolation ward of a private hospital in Andheri, as Orbit does not have a swine flu treating facility.

    “By the time we moved him to the hospital in Andheri, both his lungs were infected and he had difficulty breathing.

    He is a diabetic and this made matters worse. We did not want to admit him to a government hospital in such a condition. The private hospital is way beyond our means, but he is improving,” Karan added.

    Other cases

    The family of 27-year-old Urvashi Singh, who succumbed to swine flu on September 6 at Bombay Hospital, had it even tougher than the Rekhyanis.

    Her husband, a school teacher, had to borrow Rs 5 lakh to treat her. “We shifted her to a private hospital and paid Rs 45,000 a day, because the treatment at the public hospital was not up to the mark.

    We have lost her and the hospital bills have destroyed him,” said Urvashi’s brother Om Prakash.

    Urvashi’s family had a tough time even arranging the initial deposit of Rs 10,000. “Her husband went through hell.

    Helpless: Pradeep Rekhyani tested positive for swine flu on August 26.

    To add to his troubles, he also has an existing loan. The family had recently purchased a new house. That loan remains unpaid. Now, with these expenses, it will only get tougher for him,” said Om Prakash.

    India toll reaches 298

    Four swine flu-related deaths were reported across the country yesterday while another four suspected deaths were confirmed as having caused by the pandemic, taking the countrywide toll to 298.

    Also, 189 fresh swine flu cases were confirmed during lab tests. Of these, four cases are imported while the others are indigenous.

    Of the four deaths, Karnataka reported two, while one person each died in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh.

    With the latest reports, the all-India cumulative swine flu death figure has reached 298, while lab confirmed total cases for swine flu now stand at 9,694.

    A total of 38,224 passengers were screened for swine flu at 22 airports across the country.

    Dear Amit ji,

    Happy Dushera to you and your family. I was watching Hritik roshan’s interview with Farha khan on Tere Mere Beech main. what an inspiring actor and its amazing to know that he had severe Stutter and he still has to go for voice therapy 1 hr.. every single day.. what touched my heart was when he said that he is not an actor inspite of these problems but he is an actor because of these problems…These problems were a blessing to him..

    Dearest Amitji,

    I found something interesting today and thought to share it with you and any local (Chicagoans) who might be interseted in attending FREE amitabh movie showings.

    http://www.blockmuseum.northwestern.edu/block-cinema/bachchan.html

    Northwestern University In Chicago is doing a series which promises to “give you a glimpse into the evolving aesthetics of four decades of Bollywood by following Bachchan’s rise and alongside it, Bollywood’s rising ambition”

    Some of my all time favorites will be screened … if only my ALLLL time favorite “Satte pe Satta” was also included in this series! oh well.. I guess I will just have to make do with the other five :-)

    PS — Happy Dushera to you and your family. And.. the EF!

    Most Respected Sir,

    Sorry for not writing to you since so many days now, though hv been reading your posts.

    Thanks for all posts.

    It feels odd to write S’pore as my place instead of reading as yours since 3 months now.

    Anyways, wish you & your loved ones a very happy dushehra and may all evils in your lives be destroyed.

    Congratulations for the much deserved and long awaited (by us) GQ Lta award coz no one deserves it in India more than you. You are the gentleman that GQ tries to make each of its readers. We already get most of the knowledge N wisdom from BigBlog, thanks.

    आदरणीय भाईसाहब
    सादर चरण स्पर्श

    आपके द्वारा प्रस्तुत दोनो चित्र अत्यंत सुंदर है, कहिये तीनॊं ही चित्र ।

    आज मै अपने आप से विशेष प्रसन्न नही हूं, इसके दो कारण है, एक तो यह कि जो लोग मुझे प्यार करते है, मैने उनसे अनुरोध किया है कि वे मेरा नाम न लिया करें, कोई भी व्यक्ति इस तरह के वर्ताब से प्रसन्न तो नही ही हो सकता । दूसरी बात जिसने मेरे चित्त कोअशांत किया उसका संबंध अमृत की पढ़ाई से है । यह जानते हुये भी कि अगर अमृत पढाई में मन नही लगा रहा है तो कहीं न कहीं इसमें स्वयं मेरा ही दोष है, उसकी अर्द्ध वार्षिक परीक्षा दो दिन बाद शुरु होनी है और मैं यहां कवितायें लिखने में मशगूल हूं ।

    चलिये शायद मेरे को इस बात का इल्म तो है कि मै अपने कर्तव्य से विमुख हो रहा हूं, देर-सवेर ही सही अगर मै उसके भविष्य के प्रति सचेत नही होता हूं तब मुझे उसे मारने-पीटने का कोई हक नही बनता है। दशहरा का पर्व ठीक-ठाक ही रहा मनोज मै समय निकाल कर कहीं भी न जा सका इस बात का मुझे अफसोस है, तथापि तुम्हारी लिस्ट शायद अगले वर्ष ही काम आ जाये । रामकृष्ण मिशन जाने के लिय तो मुझे अगले दशहरा तक प्रतीक्षा नही करनी पड़ेगी यह निश्चित है ।
    मेरे सभी मित्रों से मेरा यह अनुरोध है कि आप मेरे कहे का बुरा ना माने आप जैसा उचित समझें वैसा ही करें, अगर मेरा या अन्य लोगों के नाम लिखने से आप को प्रसन्नता मिलती है तो मुझे इस तरह की पब्लिसिटी से कैसे इंकार हो सकता है ।

    असीम प्यार एवं स्नेह के साथ यह पत्राचार यहीं समाप्त करता हूं, हिंदी में लिखने के अगर कुछ नुक्सान है तो कुछ फ़ायदे भी है, चाहकर भी लम्बा-चौड़ा पत्र मै नही लिख सकता ।

    Ravana was the most learned scholar who saw his end in the hands of Lord Rama and wanted to destroy Lord Rama and eventually met his end in the hands of Lord Rama.

    Sir, if it’s your birthday today, then wish you a very happy, jovial, memorable Birthday.
    May you keep on celebrating birthdays every year with happiness and smiles.

    Sir, Which are the two cities you will be visiting tomorrow, any chances of Bangalore.

    A very Happy Vijayadashmi to you too, Amitji.

    An interesting read (http://www.cnbc.com/id/33021360), when most people in world are trying to get more money, here they are talking about ill effects of getting sudden money and its not about morality. Its about serious practical issues.
    So Amitji, thats why when I or someone else says, how you digest your superstardom and financial status with all humilty,its a big achievement. And that why you deserve all the respect you get.

    Take Care.
    Hope you get to read it.

  78. nilima sathya says:

    i just read part of ur todays blog, but that was enough for me to skip the rest and leave a message for u. some time back i got a yellow line from u, which i was so proud of but was as usual dealt with sceptism by my friends!! anyway forget abt that, all i wanted to mention was that i liked the coincedence of u being born on vijayadasami and also my son arnav, who will be 7 on oct 15th, a day he shares with his nani and dadi!!!
    i think the screen name vijay for watever reasons makes more sense now. i am kayasta, meaning saxena, but as a kid wen i used to c my bro run and come used to remind me of u running in slow motion!!!
    anyway as usual it feels nice to speak my mind here, unlike how it is is in life!!
    thank u
    love nilu( nilima saxena) or nilima sathya after mariied, yes i married a tamilian!!!!

    AND YES A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!




  81. Satyam says:

    The Ramayana has had alternative traditions in India which are quite subversive in some ways. Not least because in some of these Raavana is far more privileged or it least a more complex character than the villain he is often represented as being in the canonical versions. Now what does this remind one of? But of course a certain upcoming film called Raavan. It’s safe to say that Rathnam is relying on some of these traditions to destabilize the very revered canonical versions of the tale. Of course things get even more interesting when one considers that a real life married couple will actually be playing Raavan and Sita here! But there is an equally interesting question of a ‘Vijay’ or ‘Bachchan’ genealogy here which too Rathnam has never been less than sensitive to. As I’ve mentioned here before Yuva reconfigures this archetype (for it is such by now) in very immediate ways while Guru too looks at it but from a much greater distance. The Bachchan ‘persona’ is in any case at least partly from every Rathnam/Abhishek collaboration is about. So what does it mean to add another chapter to this ongoing history with Abhishek playing Raavan? I shall leave this question open for now…




  82. CSRamasami says:

    Dear Amitji,

    Happy Dussera and Happy Birthday- we love you for who you are. Our sincere thanks to you for keeping us in your heart and your wishes for all of us. We are also proud of you for your efforts to make our world a better place by your contributions. Our prayers for you and your family that your success just keep flowing all over like the “tree” that you planted.

  86. rochelle says:

    So that means you really have three birthdays, including the one in August of your rebirth. Happy birthday. Is that why you were called Vijay so often? And I see you gave yourself a present of a new mobile phone. Good luck with it.

    It is funny that you mention that sapling. My father just drove me and my sister home from the synagogue and we were expressing our surprise at how big the trees were on our lawn which were once small bushes. And my father started the conversation with the question’ Do you like my weeds?’ and indeed some of them are almost as tall as the house.
    Good luck with all the marketing for Aladin and for the interviews and press conference coming up tomorrow. With so many films releasing on the horizon, this sort of thing will be happening for a while I assume. And have fun with those 40 different answers. Maybe you can use different languages. I’m glad you have found the media to be on good terms with you now.

    Vijayadashmi greetings and a prosperous Dashera to you too. Those are cards are so colorful. Thank you for that lovely tree photo too.
    I hope all the Jews out there are having an easy fast. Only about 6 hours to go here.

    Sleep well before your busy day tomorrow.
    Love,
    Rochelle

    Namashkar Amitji,

    On this special day, wishing you success on all your endeavours.

Both pictures pasted today have emanated divine bliss. Thank you so much. I have copied Ram Darbar on my Desk Top.

    Happy to know that you are busy with promotions of Aladin and BiggBoss. The flavour of Genda Phool has reached out to us also. Thank you so much for spreading positive vibrations in many ways.

    परम प्रिय भाई,
    जन्म-दिवस की हार्दिक बधाईयां

    मैने अभी-अभी पढ़ा कि आप विजय दशमी के दिन पैदा हुये थे, तभी विजय नाम में आपकी सफ़लता का राज छुपा हुआ है । आप को यह बात एक दिन पहले बता देनी चाहिये थी कम से कम कुछ एक लोग केक खाने प्रतीक्षा ही पहुंच जाते, प्रतीक्षा को अभय की प्रतीक्षा उस दिन तक करनी पड़ेगी जब तक इसकी आवश्यकता नही आ पड़ेगी, व्यर्थ में मै आपका बहुमूल्य समय नष्ट नही कर सकता, यह उचित भी नही है, फिर जो कुछ मुझे कहना सुनना है यहां सब कुछ संभव हो पा रहा है । इस बात का यह अर्थ, तात्पर्य या आशय बिल्कुल भी नही है कि मै आपसे मिलने के लिये उत्सुक नही हूं या कभी नही रहा, इसके विपरीत मै आपसे मात्र सपने में मिलने से ही अत्यम्त प्रसन्न हो जाता हूं ।

    अब शयन-कक्ष की ओर प्रस्थान करता हूं शायद आपसे आज फिर मुलाकात हो जाये, वैसे रोज़-रोज़ तो सपने में मिलना भी उचित नही है .. क्योंकि किसी ने कहा है -

    अति परचै से होत है अरुचि अनादर भाय
    मलयागिरि की भीलनी चंदन देत जराय ।

  94. HOBO(nickname) says:

    Why single theaters closing these days if marketing at its best ???
    How many people can afford Rs. 100/300 ticket ???

    Ticket Rs. 5 And I watched Kaalia.
    Now-a-days I/family skip movies but earlier it was not the same.

    Earlier we used to watch a movie because Amitabh is The Hero.
    And marketing ??? Whats that ???? We never heard that word in those days. Mouth publicity was enough for a movie-hall to display HOUSE-FULL board at the gate.

    And I guess all legends were not because of marketing. Talent And Story was at its best in those old days.

    Today only I was watching Amar Prem starring Rajesh Khanna And Sharmila Tagore. What a movie. Excellent story-telling.

    Now-a-days money - The Hero ???

    ShubhRatri !!!

    Amit ji,

    ‘Auf wiedersehn und danke sehr’ for today’s post! This is from the memory of my german class of 1986!! I hope I got it right!!!

    The medie - ‘Der Se Aaiye Drust Aaiye’. I hope this change is there to stay. The media sure gives you and us, the EF, heartburns.

    With the films lined up for release, you will be very busy in the coming days. Good luck and wishes.

    Many happy returns for the day on your Hindu calender birth day, a very auspicius day indeed.

    guten nacht!




  97. CSRamasami says:

    For the listening pleasure of Amitji and all in this blog, the most powerful song of Divine and Communal harmony by Mr Ilaiyaraaja, the wonderful music director of South India (who has done the Cheeni Kum earlier and incidentally going to do PA ) is here :

    http://music.cooltoad.com/music/song.php?id=450326

    I hope Sharmila can do a translation of the Lyrics for the benefit of all. The lyric indicates indirectly that this song is being done by blind children..!

    Dedicating to all on my Birthday!

  106. Ankur Suman says:

    The guy who got AMITABH AKHYAAN by Pushpa Bharti ji to get your autograph in Khapoli. Hope u’ll be able to recollect. Praveen was really worried that I might turn out to be one of those trespassers who would jump into ur lexus at the first given opportunity. I would have been elated even if you would have kept the book with you. But Praveen thought I was dying to get my book back. if only he knew, that Strange are the ways of human mind. It craves to know more, see more of idols like you. And when u stand at a less than a feet’s distance away or near, it goes blank. It happened with me. There I was with my camera ready in standby, but I just couldn’t move. I froze when u saw me for a split second. Perhaps that’s the power of being Amitabh Bachchan - a life that inspires millions others.

    I miss the “Zandu” garlands and all decorations on Dasera. I am in UK and our festival days are very much observed as “routine” days here. If you know what I mean. We enjoy festivals on weekends whether they are on weekends or not.

    I am a regular reader but not writer. You write awesome and so from heart. Thank you for being part of our lives.

    Dear Amitji,

    Ayi girinandini nanditamedini vishvavinodini nandanute
    Girivara vindhya shirodhinivaasini vishhnuvilaasini jishhnunute
    Bhagavati he shitikanthakutumbini bhuuri kutumbini bhuuri krite
    Jaya jaya he mahishhaasuramardini ramyakapardini shailasute.

    My home is adjacent to one of the most beautiful Goddess temples in Trivandrum, thronged by devotees from all over. I wake up every morning listening to stotras and the temple bells chime. Its been extra special with the festivities over the past days. It seems unusually quiet now.

    That’s the one thing I always wonder while watching celebrity interviews, how they manage to phrase and rephrase themselves with the same enthusiasm, one interview after another, with a perfect countenance - the greatest test indeed.

    I like the way u refer to the blog as “our little space” - sweet! The tree looks beautiful. I prefer planting trees and herbs to ‘pretty’ looking plants like orchids, and admire environmentalists.

    Its been a long tiring day, ending with me having had to perform the gruesome task of pulling out my lil one’s loosened-out incisor. She’s expecting the ‘toothfairy’ (that’s me!) to get her a special gift for having been a brave lil girl.

    I love the pics u have posted. I am an ardent admirer of Raja Ravi Varma’s paintings. Chances are that most of the images of gods and goddesses in the collective psyche of Hindus owe their origins in his paintings.

    Good luck, Amitji, with all ur new projects. Happy birthday. Vijayadashami greetings to u and ur beautiful family.

    Love,

    Aishwarya.

    Dear Mr Bachchan

    I adore the jaunty tiger in the first picture! He looks very proud to be bearing Lord Ram. And the picture of your Bangkok sapling - now a splendiferous young tree - is enchanting too.

    I know exactly what you mean about those media jamborees, or ‘junkets’ as the Western press tend to call them. Having been part of the media crew, I’ve always had the utmost respect for those actors and directors who strive so hard to keep their responses fresh and seemingly spontaneous throughout a relentless day of repeating the same five-minute slot for every media outlet under the sun.

    It’s a symptom of the huge explosion of growth in the media… so many more channels, more publications, plus all the new media like the internet…

    I’m not saying we should go back to the ‘old days’ where there was virtually no competition, and sometimes very stuffy coverage, but I really don’t think this alleged growth in ‘choice’ makes things any better for the reader or viewer (let alone the poor actor trying to promote a film). Whereas in the past a film enthusiast might have watched or read a moderately long and thoughtful interview in an ‘old school’ outlet, now you merely ‘choose’ which media conglomerate slices up the tiny sound bites and packages them for you.. and then has to add lashings of ‘opinion’ and ‘attitude’ to try and make them stand out from the rest.

    I really feel for you having to do another whole day of this circus tomorrow… but you are so right in your analysis that marketing and promotion now seem to drive the whole industry… I guess it is indeed a test of your acting skills, and of course you do it magnificently.. and yes it is important that these wonderful films - and your programmes - get SEEN .. and what greater selling point than you.. but…

    With all my love, Daisy

    Dear Sir,
    It’s quite incredible how good a writer you are - your manner of conveying your thoughts is truly commendable and enjoyable. And I truly appreciate your sharing of the small, happy moments with your extended family on this blog. It really means a lot to us. Be it posting of the picture of the small sapling which has become a tree or telling us about your time spent with Agastya - reading the contents of this blog has been a journey of learning for me.
    I did visit the “Teen Patti” site and saw all the contents. My reaction is that the site generates a sense of suspense towards understanding the film and definitely arouses curiosity. Then again watching you share screen space with Sir Ben Kingsley is something to look forward to. At the same time, the film should live upto the expectations considering the degree of intrigue and curiosity the film web site manages to generate.
    Finally, please do make sure you have your required hours of sleep. We truly wish you the best of health and prosperity.

    Happy Dussehra to you and the entire family !

    Regards,

    Sai

    Change is a process we all go through during the various stages of our lives.
    This earth is the LORDS and everything in it and I think that it is our responsibility to look after what has been entrusted to us.
    In the same way we look after our little part of the earth, we too should look after those around us. It is all part and parcel of the same process.
    Love God first, others second.

    Dear Amitabh Bachchan,

    Happy and prosperous Dashera to you and all !!

    Thank you for these most beautiful images of deities and the picture of a green grown up tree
    that you have planted …

    +
    Yesterday in Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition was the day of Elevation of the Holy Cross which also signifies the victory of good over evil.. And it is celebrated as the day of fasting..

    *
    And Happy Yom Kippur to all the Jews !

    *
    And … Happy Birthday to you on Vijayadashmi day ! : )

    Thank you for your wishes and for telling more about the meaning of the Holidays and I join the celebrations with festive mood in my heart… And I wish you too - happiness and joy, prosperity and success..
    *
    I agree that marketing does a lot for a success in every business, provided though there are the merits to present behind it too. What I have as an impression about all of your oncoming films so far looks very promising and I am awaiting the moments to come to enjoy these works with great anticipation..

    Very glad to hear that meeting the media was a good experience for you..
    *
    I am so happy to see this green tree in your today’s blog ! : )
    There is a change in my garden - it started to turn autumn colors… Special time of special beauty …

    I will go to work soon and I wish you to have a good time and a successful promotions tomorrow.
    Shubh Ratri ..

    May God bless you and all.

    With much love.

    I am off to watch Oprah “Meet the Most Famous People in the World” with yours ….Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, can’t wait to see them. This is going to be a big show, so many fans/Indians will tune in to watch the show mainly because of Aishwarya & Abhiskek. And Abhiskek is always having a great time, he makes laugh wih his silly comedy, he & Ash makes a great couple.

    See you later!!
    Have a great evening!

  157. Nandini says:

    Dear Mr Bacchan,
    Was listening to Lata jis birthday interview ..and ur question to her intrigued me . Being able to absorb the silence between two chords of music ..Is what we call devine or as Osho explained some where ..music isnt in the words ..its in the balance of silence created between the words .. i feel greatest musicians ..singers become addicted to that balance ..without really knowing or realising ..as to wht it is . Its a blessing ..anyway .
    Ur personality always intrigued me ..not because u r Amitabh bacchan ..but because of your genes ..and i some times realise the pain ..which you might have undergone ..acting or being ..what you are not . but its a simple rule .. whenever a higher standpoint is being mixed witha lower one..its always the higher one which has to pay the price ..like mixing a glass of milk in a pot of muddy water . ……..Its nice to know that you are there some where in this world . regards

    Thank you for the beautiful cards.. are they Durga ma and Lord Ram.. and the kneeling one is Hanuman ji…? ( Thanks to our dear Arvind who had informed me about him, and was generous enough to describe me and my devoted love to you as Hanuman ji’s love to lord Ram.. it was so nice of him to say that.. ).

    Thank you for the photo of the tree… i can see it resembles you.. great, beautiful and wonderful, we are the leaves.. the branches attached to the great stem are the strong strings that tie all of us to you.. our love is deep as it’s roots.. god bless you.

    Thank you for the details of the celebration.. may your houses stay always lightened and decorated .. and the warmth of your family love and gathering fills every corner.. i wish i were there… then i would be able to touch your feet and express my love and respect to you..

    Thank you for mentioning the number 786.. ( although that even i am muslim but don’t understand it’s significance.. !!! ) and you call us as your brothers and sisters is so heart warming.. and a great honor… we never feel that you are from a different faith .. in fact i do think that all faiths and believes come from the same origin.. and they all are having a strong resemlance .. believe me, you are to us as dear as family.. you are a father, a brother , an idol , a teacher , a friend.. everyone of us is feeling a special connection to you.. and i am glad that your dear blog is acknowledged in a positive way by the media..

    My house is situated such that, each dawn, I wake up to the sounds of Azaan from a masjid, followed by sounds of chimes, chantings by Hindu priests, followed by sounds of recitation of Sikh holy scriptures, even as i tend to my little patch of greenery ,early each morning. I cannot see these places of worship,which i think are in the villages adjacent to our colony, but the sounds are an incredible way to start the day!!

    Dear Sudhir

    Thank you for your kind wishes.. Heartful Vijayadashmi Greetings and A most prosperous Dashera to you too and your dear ones.. and to all the dear EFs.

    Thank you so much for the information, we have a similar story in the ancient egyptian mythology, it is the victory of God Horus, the falcon headed god of protection upon the evil represented in his uncle Seth, who had killed Osiris ( Horus’ Father, good of agriculture ) . He revenged and became the victorian and get throned to be the representation of the alive king, Osiris became the god of paradise, the lord of the afterlife.. the representation of the dead king.

    My husband’s aunty Prabha was born on the same day, date and year as yourself, and i just checked with my husband’s dadi who is 94 and she said that Prabha aunty was born on panchami day so she was 5 days old on dassera.

  188. DEVKISHIN VYAS says:

    Some similarities in birth days. My son Jayesh also celebrated his birth day today according to Hindu calender,though we share birth day according to English calender. The father and son both were born on 12th October. Well it is a rare phenomenon but there are many such instances.
    I played the following song for Jayesh –
    bar bar din yeh aaye —–tum jiyo hazaaron saal yeh hai arzoo
    I would like to greet you with the same song”bar bar din yeh aaye—tum jiyo hazaaron saal yeh hai arzoo
    Happy birthday to you
    In lighter vein—-my lady’s finger plants ((bhindee)), the seeds of which were sown about 8 weeks back are more than 6 feet in height .Almost all plants are bearing fruit.Your tree in Bangkok appears to be a mango tree.Please confirm.
    It appears the print media has been disciplined after bombardment of the bloggers who took them to task for their yellow journalism. The journalists normally are well educated and intelligent people but they are forced to toe the line of their bosses who believe that the gullible readers can be fooled to purchase news paper/magazines if trivial issues are made sensational.
    In my letter to Filmfare in Feb 2002 I wrote,interalia,”while reviewing film Chori Chori the critic mentioned that —-not a single song is in danger of becoming a hit ”
    And lo!the music of film Chori Chori won the Filmfare award for best musical score!
    May the entire Bachchan Parivar celebrate the next Dusshera in same spirits.

    SIR,
    ITS NOW NOT THE TIME FOR PEOPLE TO TALK ABT TOPICS LIKE -GLOBAL WARMING ETC. AS THE PEOPLE ALRADY DID WHAT THEY COULD TO MAKE THEMSELVES VANISH .THE EARTH HAS REACHED ITS RENEWAL TIME.

    SIR , FOR EXAMPLE: 1- THERE IS A TABLE CLEAN N CLEAR =THE OWNER WILL NOT DISTURB ITS CLEANLYNESS.BUT WILL ALSO GIVE ALL KIND OF SUPPORT TO KEEP IT CLEAN.
    2- IF THE TABLE GETS SOME DIRTY= THE OWNER WILL COME AND CLEAN IT WITH A CLOTH OR SOMETHING AND THEN KEEP IT SO.
    3- IF THE TABLE IS NOW MORE DIRTY DUE TO SOME GARBAGE PUT ON IT=
    THE OWNER WILL COME AND FINISH THE GARBAGE AND WASH THE TABLE AND KEEP IT SO.
    4- IF THE TABLE GETS FULL OF IRRISSISTABLE GARBAGE,DIRT AND SO ON=
    THE OWNER FINALLY COMES TAKES OFF THE TABLE,WASHES IT SHAKES IT
    CLEANES IT BY A CLOTH AND POLISHES IT,FURNISHES IT,PUTS IT DOWN AGAIN
    AND MAKES IT A -NO DIRT OR NO GARBAGE ZONE FOREVER AND THEN ITS KEPT THAT WAY FOREVER FOR - BY AND FOR THOSE THINGS ONLY WHICH SURVIVED
    ALL STAGES OF DIRT-AND WASHING .SO,THERE AFTER EVERYTHING GOOD WITH THE TABE AND FOR IT.

    I HOPE U WILL U FULLY UNDERSTAND A WELL KNOWN WORD OR PHRASE-GOOD
    PREPAIRATION IS ALWAYS NEEDED FOR COOKING GOOD FOOD,SO THAT U CAN EAT IT WHEN REQUIRED.
    AND IF U KNOW GUESTS R COMING SOON ,U REALIZE TO START AND FINISH THE WHOLE PREPAIRATION AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE.
    THATS IT FOR NOW.
    RELAX AND FEEL FREE

    THANKING YOU SATYAJEET-ALASNEO

    Hi Mr Bachchan,
    .
    it’s your birthday in the Hindu calendar, then I must write it in hindi: जन्मदिन मुबारक हो :)
    # 159 Reeham,
    I don’t remember the number 786 in my religious education too, it is true that I am not an expert in religion, but I’m always curious to know the symbols and emblems … Thank you Amitji to hold “Deewar”, because this movie which drew my attention to this number (I think it’s also the number plate Ikbal in Coolie, 786 appears in other Indian movies too)
    Well, according to my research, this number has an islamic meaning, but the Indian Muslims who are more spiritual than us Arabs have kept its sense in memory
    There is a code that gives for each letter of “بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم” a number and the sum of all numbers = 786.
    It represents another sign of the miracle of the Koran, the precision of word choice, the balance of sentences in numbers of letters…
    http://www.submission.org/arabic/beyond.html
    .
    I remember an interview with Mr Bachchan in which he said that Cinema is primarily an entertainment… but if you want to learn, you can , just be attentive. :)
    Dring! Dring!, Break over !!! :(
    love

    Dear Amit Uncle,

    That is a nice picture of all the Bhagwanji’s. My mom has imported all the Bhagwanji murti’s from india over here and set up a beautiful mandir in our home. She just finished reading the whole Ramayan during Navratri. That woman has amazing dedication and will power. I too, go in there every morning before leaving for work and “mata tek” for the long life of my parents. I love being Indian and all the culture and values we have. I wish I could come to India for the Holiday season. I haven’t seen Diwali there since I was a kid. Although we definitely make the best of it here in LA. Happy Dushera!

    First of all Vijayadashmi Greetings to you and your dear family also and a big comgrats to gettin the GQ award. Well deserved.

    Just wanted to say , was watching your cool Zangeer, wah what a mindblowing film. Miss such films with deadly combo of you as Vijay, Salim Javed script, Kader Khans dialogues and Prakash Mehra directing!!!!!!!! All cool films had this kind of combo in 70s and 80s, how we miss Vijay so much!!!In Khakee your charcater should have been called Vijay, as it did smack of an older Vijay. Awesome film anway.

    Amitjee i miss thses films and wish that you play this character again soon.

    Regards

    Hello there Dearest Mr. Bachchan, Sir…
    ***Wish you and your lovely family a Happy Vijayadashmi!!! And Happy SECOND birthday to you for this year! Hey, wait a minute… if you have had THREE birthdays every year, then, in reality, you are only 22 YEARS OLD !!!!!
    See, 66 years divided by 3 birthdays a year equals 22 years old!!!!! If you could be 22 years old again, would you? Pros and cons for me… some reasons ‘yes’ other reasons ‘no’…
    ***So does this special Vijayadashmi date have anything to do with why you chose to be called ‘Vijay’ in so many of your movies? Just curious…
    ***You say that ‘Times Of India’ treated you fairly and with respect today, huh?
    See what one little poem can do??? Yea, good to know that I scared’em a little bit… SOMEbody needed to…….If they had a copy of yesterday’s blog with them, then they had a copy of yesterday’s POEM with them, too..heh,heh,heh.
    I LIKE that, I like that VERY much…makes me VERY happy…
    Stick with me, I’ll take care of you, promise.
    ***Oh my… ANOTHER day of ‘press junket’ tomorrow? Ah well, if anyone can make it look easy, you can… may I suggest answering the ’same 40 questions’ in perhaps different languages? different accents? different characters? At the very least, you could wear different GLASSES with each reporter… Any or all of that would bring something a little ‘different’ to the table wouldn’t it!
    ***Well, my Dearest Muse, I don’t have tonight’s poem written yet so I must excuse myself for a little while…I shall return right away…must watch OPRAH in exactly 30 minutes from now and then write your ‘poetic offering’ and after that, I shall return to you…
    ***Almost forgot!!! A most prosperous Dashera to you, too!!!!!




  207. Daisy M says:

    Manoj Kumar Ojha 179 - I am so sorry, I was gazing at the tiger and did not mean to offend by confusing the identity of Goddess Durga. I feel more stupid than you can possibly imagine… and on reflection I’m very glad it is the Goddess who gets to ride in such style… maybe I was being sexist by assuming it was the Lord Ram and not looking closely enough in my excitement over the beautiful tiger.

    Is it only Goddess Durga who rides a tiger, or do other Gods also do this? Does the tiger symbolise anything in particular, or play a specific part in the story… I would so love to know… time for some research I feel…

    With love and greatest apologies, Daisy

    Hello Amitbahji and Jayaji,

    CONGRATULATION TO ABISHEK AND AISHWARYA - OPRAH WINFRY SHOW.
    FABULOUs.BOTH OF THEM CONDUCTED SO WELL. HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE THEM TOGETHER. JUST FINISHED WATCHING IT ON ABC.THIS WAS AIRED ON VIJAYADASHMI DAY.

    What a presence of mind Abishek has. The best answer was.
    Oprah asks them “you live with your parents. How does that work?

    Abishek asks ” you do not live with your parents. How does that work?

    Everyone laughs and smiles. Abishek is really intelligent.

    Once again so excited to see them together on USA soil giving interview on one of the Most watched TV SHOW in USA.

    At my work place I have often faced the same problem. We all live together. So at work place they would ask me why your in laws live with you? For them Joint family is somethng very unusual and unacceptable.

    On the Oprah show was also an Interview with CHEN LU YU - Oprah of China. She invited Aihwarya and Abhishek to China.

    After watching Chen Lu YU I thought Shweta should try to do a show like Oprah.
    I read somewhere that Shweta likes Oprah Show.

    Once again, congratulation to whole of the family for their interview.

    Regards,
    D.B from USA

  213. Rajesh (Bucks, UK) says:

    Best Wishes to you, your immediate family and to the whole of EF on this auspicious Dashera day. May good preside over evil for all of us.

    Sorry I missed yesterday’s post. Had to attend a condolence gathering. But have now read yesterday’s and today’s post and enjoyed them both thoroughly.

    You have captured that situation when you put a big smile and try and acknowledge everyone you meet and greet from yesterday’s post very well. Thanks for sharing with us about the GQ Awards Event and telling us about all those talented people you met.

    It interesting to note your comments on the power of marketing and that good marketing nowadays works better than the true merit of the film that may take days to be realised and often not because by that time there are few other film releases and so the producers aim to make maximum impact and capitalise at the onset.

    Sounds like the Aladin promo activities have gone well. Best wishes and good luck with the Big Boss promotional activities tomorrow. As I said before the media is taking note of the blog and I am glad that they were devoid of their usual hostile conduct. Lets hope they carry on this way.

    Nature is so amazing. The sapling that you planted in Bangkok now looks like an established well maintained and cared for tree.

    God works in amazing ways. He brought you into this world on Vijaydasmi day by the Hindu calendar to spread good over evil. What you have done so far is a testimony to this. However I will wish you on the English calendar day of your birthday, which is not far now and I am sure the Prateeksha household are planning grand celebrations for this big event.

    With Best Wishes
    Rajesh




  214. Sujata says:

    Mr. Bachchan,
    Just finished watching Oprah. Abhishek was so poised, calm and good looking. Aishwarya looked good, no doubt, but she seems so artificial and superficial. Her accent was so uncalled for. I think you and Jayaji have raised Abhishek very well. Kudos to you.Love you.

  218. MANOJ KUMAR OJHA, HASSI MESSOUAD, ALGERIA says:

    # 207 : Daisy M : Never mind it happens due to ignorance. Yes Only Goddess Durga rides a Lion as per my knowledge and here are the details about the symbolising of Lion to Goddess Durga.

    Why does Goddess Durga ride a lion and why is it her mascot? If we think deeply, we can find out some analogies between Goddess Durga and lion. Firstly, the lion manifests strength. The lion leads the animal kingdom, as Devi is the empress of the universe. The lion uncovers his claws and fangs as Goddess Durga displays Her weapons. Devi’s entangled tuft of hair is analogous to the gorgeous mane of a lion. The lion manifests different power and energies of the gods. Vishnu adorns the lion’s neck, Mahadeva his head, Parvati his forehead, Durga his breast, Kartikeya his knuckles, the serpents his sides, the twins Ashwinikumar his ears, the Sun and the Moon his eyes, the Vasus his teeth, Chandika his roar and Yama with Yaksha his two cheeks. To protect and nourish the nation, strength is required. But that strength must follow the laws of truth and ethics. In worshipping Devi Durga, we ask Her to give us strength. And by keeping the lion as Her mascot, She teaches us this lesson.

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,
    Happy Hindu Birthday , Happy Dasshera, Happy Sept 28th ,
    Just watched ” the most famous couple in the world ” on Oprah. Aish and Abhi were a delight to watch .Both looking fab. Aish ,of course has the edge .Had a good laugh when Abhi shared she even wakes up looking as gorgeous. Just wished Oprah had toned down the Bollywood dance bit. I would have liked her to chat more with A & A .
    Watched the video clip of Naseeruddin Shah and didn’t find him bitter in the least. A fine actor, he speaks beautifully and like you , has continued to become more and more watchable. Would love to see the two of you together in a film .
    Love.

    I wish you all the best for Aladin…..!




  234. Jasmine of London says:

    My dearest Mr. Bachchan,

    Thank you very much for the festive wishes and beautiful pictures. Images of Durga Ma have always interested me for obvious aesthetic and symbolic reasons - I could comfortably gaze at her for hours. A very Happy Vijayadashmi Day to you and the fmXt, as well and yet another birthday greeting for our dear Mr. Bachchan! You have one more birthday than the Queen and infinitely more significance in the lives of all people than she does, if that isn’t too contentious to say!

    A pity that your festive celebrations are thwarted by so much professional and promotional activity especially since you have not celebrated for some time. The conveyor belt of media rounds must be terribly taxing for you, more so when you have to ‘perform’ with a lack of sleep. I suppose some consolation in that vein is that you are effectively ‘fired up’ and focussed on the general points of discussion; thus the onus is on being creative and inventive with your words and that is never a problem for you. Having seen clips of you in action during one or two press conferences, I remember observing that your oratory prowess and overall pace was astounding - the media were hard pushed to keep up with you! Its a good time and labour saving exercise for all involved too at least you need not endure sporadic media questioning.

    Film marketing is increasingly imperative since the market is so competitive and the films seem to be closely aligned in quality. As a viewer it is often difficult to identify a particularly bad film nowadays since what one lacks in storyline, it excels in graphics and so on. Your industry has probably reached a crescendo where ‘perfection’ in quality and output is easily attained, so other differentiators and ‘frills’ must be enforced too. I wonder whether marketing will experiment with ‘Aladin’ toys and merchandise since it isn’t uncommon for films which include a children’s audience - the scope for promotion there is immense - we could have a Mr. Bachchan/Genius doll on the market if so!!

    You sound most enamoured of your new mobile phone I wonder if that was a birthday indulgence to self, or just a requirement. Change when acquiring new possessions is certainly exhilarating; other forms of change can be unnerving as we discussed earlier this week. Your descriptive paragraph is a tad curious I must say, I cannot comprehend how changing a mobile phone can change you, or be labelled as an ‘accomplishment’; perhaps that is best glanced over in the morning with a fresh mind since I can barely stay awake at the moment!

    The very best of luck with the Colors and BB promotions, and I am sorry it will be yet another gruelling day with travel for you. Again, we would all prefer that you chose to rest over blogging whenever required; I cannot speak for the affable media who are also reliant on your words though… This too shall be continued in the morning!

    Goodnight Mr. Bachchan, and happy birthday again - your arrival into the world was indeed an auspicious event and worthy of three commemorations a year - one more to go then!
    Take care.

    All my love,

    Jasmine

    xx




  235. Dharmendra Singh (Melbourne) says:

    Amitji, happy birthday and happy Dashera to you.
    It seems you surely have more than one birthday. I remember you having one some time back.
    Allahabad- that is old Parag Raj if I am not mistaken. That is where my grandfather came from. I found his place of birth and did not initially know where Parag raj was on the Indian amp until someone told me the new name. This happened some 10 years ago. Sometimes I wonder if I have any other relatives left in that city.
    Anyway, the media has made a big turnaround for the better. Finally, they have conceded that the blog is much stronger than what they print in their local papers.
    All the best for you promos. 40 questions and 40 answers? Reminds me of 40 days of continuous rain in the Bible with Noah and his boat.
    That tree looks very healthy indeed. Is it a Mango tree?
    Regards to you and the Bachchan family.

    It’s good to know that the media’s approach towards you is more of a positive attitude…it’s time they learn to have some etiquette. And,I hope they will keep it up! also glad that they are acknowledging “our little world”.

    I agree with you the tree looks very healthy and i loved the shade of green!
    It’s wonderful that you are setting an example to save the environment and hope alot more people will take heed!

    Thanks for sharing all the events of your day!

    Well!i’m very happy that i got the opportunity to watch Abhi and Aish on Oprah’s show.Also,saw you and Jaya ji in a little clip! That was wonderful seeing you on national TV….in fact all of you!It was a proud moment for all of us!
    “DE MOST FAMOUS COUPLE ON THE PLANET”…I really enjoyed seeing them together!They are normal,humble,well brought up, human beings…..beautiful and intelligent!I think the show was very lively…excellent!And,Oprah has enjoyed herself too ,with both of them,especially, Abhi…he has a great sense of humour…Aish too!
    May Maa Durga continue to shower her divine blessings on both of them!

    A happy Dussera to you and your family and wishing Aladin a grand success. Yesterday you wrote that Irfran talks about Muqaddar Ki Siqandar. Actually there are many movies of yours that tops my favorite list, but Muq Ki Siq and Agneepath is always very special to me. I dont know why but I enjoy watches both these movies number of times. I have watched both these movies at least 50 times each and still tears come to my eyes when I see these movies. Muq Ka Siq is also my first movie that I saw in cinema hall. I remember I saw the movie when I was 5 years of age and my father showed me “That is Amitabh Bachchan”.

    I live in New Jersey and I just saw the Oprah Winfrey show featuring Abhi and Ash. It was so wonderful.
    Lots of love and very best wishes to all of you.

    Dear Mr. Bachchan

    Are you ready for the verdict? Abhishek Bachchan was GREAT on Oprah, his sense of humor, his presence of mind and his intelligence was so obvious. I am so glad the show turned out good. I could tell that Oprah was impressed by Abhishek Bachchan.

    I am not too good with criticism but I think if given in a constructive way can help an individual to make positive changes. I thought Aishwarya Rai was too nervous (my impression) and she laughs when she is nervous which could be kind of distracting for the audience. I wish she laughed less and focused more. Sorry, but my sincere opinion but both together represented India well. Congratulations and once again Abhishek proved to be a chip of the old block.

    All the best with the promotions and have a great day.

    Lakshmi

    Dearest One and Only Muse…

    Here’s tonight’s poem:

    “Limitation” by Valorie Adams

    There is no limitation
    ***on this love we have for you.
    To prove our adoration
    ***there is nothing we won’t do.

    We’d swim across the ocean
    ***just to prove how much we care.
    Walk barefoot across the desert
    ***name it, we’ll take any dare.

    We’d climb the highest mountain
    ***professing love for you at the top.
    Your EF knows no limitation
    ***this love for you will never stop.

    TAA DAAA!

    I forgot to add,As usual, it was a Great delight to see Aish in her beautiful Sari!(on Oprah’s show)and also,Abhi was looking very well in his clothes too!
    I admired the way they conducted themselves!
    Love always…

    Hello Mr. Bachchan,
    Many happy returns of the day:) I read your blog regularly and have loved the way you write and express yourself in writing. Being in the industry you are in…i have one question for you. How difficult is it for a girl who always dreamed about acting to act in India? If i was inexperienced( never acted in big screen or TV) and would love to act(tv, stage dramas ETC) What would your advice be to start… Would love to hear from you if you have the time. Else would still enjoy reading your blog. Keep up the good work.
    Regards




  250. Renate says:

    Dear Mr. AB,

    I just finished watching the Oprah show here in California - the first time I ever watched it in my 25 years in the US. AB (no ‘junior’ here) and Aishwarya were delightfully charming and funny at the same time. It was heartwarming to see them surprise the unsuspecting dance group. They will have millions of new fans now. Please give them my regards.

    786 has a personal significance for me - I learned about it from Veer-Zaara (the prisoner’s lucky number), the day I first saw you!! Little did I know then where this was going and that one day I would be able to talk to you.

    Happy Birthday for the second time. Have as many as you can in a year, we never get tired of celebrating them. On Oct. 11 we will invite four Indian friends to our home, cook for them and watch one of your movies together. Haven’t decided which one - if by any chance you give out yellow strips today, a suggestion from you would be THE ULTIMATE!!!! I’m chuckling to myself right now imagining seeing one of your films on your personal recommendation…

    Happy Vijayadashmi to you and all your family,

    Love,
    Renate

    Happy, Happy Birthday, Amitji! And a Prosperous Dashera to you and your family!

    Loved the beautiful Hindi script for the Place, date and time at the top of the page, this is the first time you have done it and it looks so lovely. Also the colourful pictures and the tall tree look very nice. Thank you for sharing these.

    Its going to be a hectic day for you tomorrow attending to the press conference and interviews hope it won’t be too tiring. Good luck for promotions for ‘Aladin’

    Amitji, you’re going through your mobile phones like a dose of salts! That must be the sixth time you’ve changed it since you started your blog. Still, you sounded so happy and excited! Keep well and take care of yourself.

    With love & regards,

  252. ABHISHEK/ASH ON OPRAH says:

    Hi i justed watched abhishek and ash on Oprah show today (usa) and i MUST SAY I WAS REALLY IMPRESS WITH ABHISHEK SENSE OF HUMOR. I thought he is very smart in the way how he talk. TOTALLY IMPRESSED.
    Can you please LET HIM KNOW I HAVE BECOME HIS FAN, really appreciate his intelligence….
    I am out and out crazy about you, and to be truthful i was not that impressed with abhishek( isn’t it tough to have parents who are outrageouly super famous) BUT NOW I HAVE BECOME ABHISHEK FAN TOO. He across smart int he interview, and i heard Oprah say the same thing. Kudos to him !

    Hi Mr. B. Happy Birthday again! You have more birthdays than anyone I know!! I watched Abhishek and Aishwarya on Oprah today and really enjoyed it. I never knew Abhishek was so funny. It was easy to see that Oprah enjoyed their visit too. Have a great day. BTW I don’t envy you the new phone. I am not technologically savvy and every time I have to break in a new electronic it causes me lots of frustration.

    NDH
    There is a rather enchanting song on the genda phool , in Delhi 6, which has been picturised on Waheeda ji, Abhi, Supriya Pthak and others… I am sure you would have seen it!
    I understand your homes are fortified, so perhaps , none ( other than the inhabitants ) can really see the adornment with genda phool , as you have described this .
    A person born on Vijaya Dashmi would certainly have green fingers. That explains the lovely tree, perfect in foliage and form… photo probably shot around midday ( a guess from the shadow below). The foliage is reminiscent of the murraya exotica or chandni, but could you let us know the name?
    The pics of the avatars and “maa” are very fine .Thanks for those
    Nice to read that you have a mobile phone with 786. That is a very auspicious number and may I wish you good luck with the same. Yes , I do remember the significance of this number in Deewar.
    So , back to office after an extended weekend. Be on tour for 2 days to Srinagar (Kashmir) and then is Gandhi Jayanti, another important day for all to remember the Father of the Nation.
    So today is the day for Colors and Big Boss promos. All the best.
    Sir, how about a photo from the recent award function, for the benefit of your extended family.
    Have a great day, my affection as always.

    Dear Amitji,

    Funny..I just wondered today since you are october born (like me) would your hindu calendar bday be on a good day (mine is on dhan teras) and then i continued..what kind of amazing horroscope must yours be.
    I just got finished watching Oprah and felt immensely proud of Abhishek and Aishwarya. They conduct themselves so well in international limelight.
    It does leave me feeling slightly wishing they would know the magnitude of your persona on Indian public.
    Hope you had a good birthday. Take care,

    Hello Sir,
    Apko janamdin ki hardik Shubkamnaye.. ( according to Hindi Calender ) :)

    Well nice to see the snap of a sapling turned into a tree.. I have seen people doing tree plantations every year, on the same place.. No one cares about the sapling later.. My hearty congratulations to the gardener team who took care of the sapling.. They really deserve a award from you Sir.

    I remember a incident happened in our company Tata Motors.. It was summer and temperatures were around 39-40°C. Mr Rata Tata was on visit and he saw a gardener watering the trees in this heat.. He called the gardener, asked his name and awarded him with Rs500.. The amount is not important but the appreciation is.

    Love

  263. rochelle says:

    Here I am on the Long Island Railroad on my way back to civilization after spending Yom Kippur at my father’s house and at temple. But the reason why I couldn’t watch Oprah is because most of this holiday was celebrated playing miniature golf with my sister, brother and his kids, the youngest of whom is well on his way to being a big time cheater. Even worse than the fasting and having to sit through most of the rabbi’s sermon was the depressing result of the ‘guess your age’ game at that miniature golf/ batting cage place. The kid guessed that I was 13 years older than I am! I won a cute little stuffed alien prize but the psychological damage that I suffered was not worth it. Needless to say that is the last time I play that guessing game.

    Good luck for all those activities in 2 cities in one day.

    Love,

    Dear ABSQ - Classes better start today. The asst professor has taken to spoofing to alleviate boredom, scaring the innocent, and he even has an accomplice in his mischievous dealings. Gotta keep him busy and on his toes or we are in deeeeeeep trouble! He is like those extra intelligent children who need constant attention. So please please start classes today. Even cookery classes will do!

    Namaskaar and happy Vijayadashmi birthday to you, Amitji.
    You were born on a very special day. I guess that is what makes you so very special!
    Right now I am enjoying watching parts of Zanjeer, one of your many films being aired in a special ‘Ab tak Bachchan’ festival on TV here on the East Coast of Canada and the USA. Sony Max International is running an Eid and Divali special promotion…and you’ the biggest bait to hook viewers!
    I hope all is well with you and that you are finding enough time for relaxation and rest. I miss being here (blogging) often, but right now this is the best I can do. My job this year is driving me insane! I hardly have time for much else because of all the new learning I need to do in order to do the job.
    I will be back as soon as I can, Amitji.
    I love you.

  280. Rajani says:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR AMITJI AND A VERY HAPPY DUSSEHRA TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
    SAW ASH AND AB ONTHE OPERA SHOW! THEY MAKE A HANDSOME COUPLE! I THINK WHEN OPERA ASKED THEN THE QUESTION IF THEY ARE STILL LIVING WITH YOU, AB COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE HUMBLE AND GIVEN A BETTER ANSWER, THERE WAS NO NEED FOR A TIT FOR TAT COMMENT. IF THE QUESTION WAS AN INTENTAIONAL RIDICULE THEN SURE GO AHEAD AND SAY WHAT YOU LIKE. KNOWING OPERA AND THE KIND OF THINGS SHE DOES FOR HUMANITY IT WAS AN OBVIOUS QUESTION FOR HER TO ASK INORDER TO UNDERSTAND OUR CULTURE. I AM SURE SHE MEANT NO DISRESPECT TO YOU OR YOUR FAMILY.
    I THINK AB SHOULD APOLOGIZE FOR HIS RUDE COMMENT!

    I HOPE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FELT THIS WAY.

    For AB,

    No wonder I find it so diffiuclt to talk to you… My eldest brother, Vijay, was also born on Vijayadashmi, hence the name. He is nine years older, a main-stream libran, and simply impossible to have fun with! He looks pensive when he achieves anything, sheds a silent tear when he is happy and all-energy & smiles when the house is full of people!… And treats me like an infant!!!!

    Happy Birthday to you! May the tradition of Vijay after Vijay continue!

    And please, please, please don’t let your guard down on the media! Media ka dassa hua uthata nahin, uth jaata hai!!!

    Have a wonderful Dashera with family and friends!

  286. Jasmine Jaywant says:

    Good morning, Amitji. The pictures of Durga ma on the lion and The Ram Darbar were so appropriate and added color and significance to the blog today. Loved seeing them. Also the picture of the young tree was beautiful — it was so green, and it reminded me of Abhishek! In the full bloom of youth.

    Am I the only one who was disappointed in the Oprah show today? Disappointed not in Abhishek and Aishwarya — I thought they conducted themselves very well, with grace and charm and wit and humor and spontaniety. Abhishek’s humourous rejoinders to Oprah were really good. And they look really wonderful together. Mun se dua nikalti hai — may God always keep them happy.

    I don’t know if I had expected too much, but I thought Oprah really missed an opportunity for a good, meaty interview with substantial, serious questions about Indian cinema and the actors themselves. I have never watched her show before in my life, despite its popularity, so I don’t know if this was her usual style and/or the format of the show. But I kept waiting for “the interview” to begin. It just seemed like a lot of small talk and pleasantries and socializing, but there was no substance to what she asked. It was so brief, and then it was over. The inevitable question about them living with his parents — had David Letterman not asked Aish the same thing and had she not dealt with it superbly back then? Again, “How does that work out?” I mean, c’mon? What did Oprah expect them to say, “It sucks, but we’re forced to do it?”

    I think Abhishek was put on the spot a bit by the footage of a policeman using the cane to disperse the crowd outside your residence on their wedding day. What was the point of showing that clip, I don’t know. Or of them “surprising” the dance group.

    Anyway, despite all my cribbing, I loved watching them, and felt happy that these wonderful people did us proud by the way they conducted themselves on the show, despite the superficiality of the questions.

    Sincerely,

    Dear Lion King ,

    जन्मदिन मुबारक हो !

    Wishing you a very happy Vijayadarshami as well. We recite the soothing composition of Adi Shankracharya’s Mahishashura Mardhini stotram on a regular basis. Yesterday was no different along with the preparation of sweets and visits from near and dear ones. A day when we worship and respect the books that we studied and the books that continue to illuminate our paths in our respective professional lives. A day to worship all things mechanical that bring about efficiency in our day to day living.

    There is a saying in tamil, that one who is bestowed with the intelligence of Goddess Saraswati and talented in the fine arts has the Goddess at the tip of the tongue. The speech that we utter , the words that we write , the thoughts in our mind are the seed of her creation. Lakshmi and Saraswati, sisters we need in equal standing.

    I am not surprised that you were born on this auspicious day. Vijay had to be born on the day when good banishes the evil. You are an avataar Lion King, I am tempted at this stage to compare you to Narasimha for obvious reasons. In short, if I had to assume the responsibility of Valmiki and describe the birth of your avatar, I would sum it like this -

    ” On the tenth day of navaratri in the lunar month of the auspicious constellation of Ashwini, when the sun was the brightest in uttarnarayan , a king equivalent to Devendra, a king with the might of a thousand lions was born to destroy the evil doings of the powerful asuras. He was named “Vijay” by the holy sages , a conqueror who vanquishes evil. He bestows his grace and love in his kingdom and is fondly known as “Lion King” to his endearing subjects. ”

    That tree looks glorious, and in a few years will provide succor to the weary traveller. Not that anyone will stand under it I think, as it looks well “shrub”ed off. Nevertheless, just a way of saying it. We need more Dr Panchauris in India who continue to take a strong stand against the disastrous consequences of climate change. We laud his efforts .

    Best wishes again for Aladin and hope the tremendous marketing ploys succeed in making the box offices tring tring.Good luck with the new phone. I am sure you are excited like your grandson with his new toy. I would love to see that glee on your face.

    We met you for the very first time when we lived in Egypt, in 1991, when you visited that country after such a long gap. We will never forget your warm words (from the spiral stairs) addressing all of us folks gathered to hear what the Great Mr. Amitabh Bachchan had to say. From then on forwards, we have always been in touch with you (as die-hard fans) for any events (both sad and happy) in your life - for which we have always PROMPTLY received an acknowledgement and response from either you, JayaJi, or Abhishek. Then, after many years, we had a chance to see you here in Washington DC for the screening of DEV and BLACK…..
    All of the correspondence we have had with you (and continue to have, thankfully!), both past and present, has been kept in a special file in our home. It is our deepest honor to have these many ‘treasures’ with us. We feel that your writings here bring us only that much closer - such a great honor!

    We wish you all nothing more than the very best - and for many many many more years to come.
    May God bless the Bachchan parivaar! :-)

    -Vedant, Siddhant, Bhavana, and Govind
    [Washington DC]

    Hello
    I was looking for inspiration (also procrastinating)
    but looking for inspiration sounds better , and I’ve spent quite a while following famous people or you could say successful people in the conventional sense of the term.
    and all I want to say is that, there is one common trait that I find in almost all successful people and it is to have a vision, and a drive to work towards it
    I have a quote from the movie “Million Dollar Baby” that i would like to share , it talks about boxing , but it applies to almost anything.

    Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: If there’s magic in boxing, it’s the magic of fighting battles beyond endurance, beyond cracked ribs, ruptured kidneys and detached retinas. It’s the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you.

    So i would like to thank you for inspiring me a bit ( and being a reason for my procrastination ) and would like to remind you that you are an example to follow
    good night.

    Dear Pran sahab

    If this has been written from your email address it has made up my day.. I wish you many more birthdays..
    I also wish that you provide our young actors some tips on acting.. you were definitely the best among the best in your times..

    That your particular role in Shaheed of manoj Kumar was something extraordinary.. the one moment which brought tears to my eyes was when you ask Bhagat Singh to shake hands with him..

    The other most appealing performace came in the Upkar song Kasme vaade pyaar vafa sab..

    Yet another out of this world performance was the Zanjeer song .. yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi.. I do sing and how great it would be if I could someday sing it for you and for others .. including brother Amitabh.. I write on his blog regularly.. I shall find some time to be able to do that..

    kya mai kabhi aap se aakar mil sakata hoon.. agar aap ko bura na lage.. aap ek mahaan kalakaar ho aur mere dil mein aap ke liye vishesh jagha hai.. aapke har kirdaar mein koi na koi nayapan hamesha hi dekhane ko mil jaata thaa.. yah apane aap mei koi chhoti baat nahi hai..

    Aapka ek chahane vala
    Abhaya Sharma

    PS : Brother please ask the moderator not to delete these comments.. I do not know if Pran sahab would receive my email.. though I have no reasons to beleive otherwise.. I would still want people to know that someone over here loves good actors even if they had been cast more famoulsy as the villain of Hindi Cinema..
    The best Villain of Hindi film industry would always be him. Pran Sikand
    The best comedian of Hindi film industry for me would always be Mehmmod bhaai
    and the best hero of Hindi film industry.. I think I do not have to give that answer.. everyone knows it too well.. still I would put the name.. mitabh Bachchan

    Love
    Abhaya

    Hi all my wonderful blog friends, how is everyone today? Had a hectic day today, and then classes in the evening. Have been taking Valorie and Vijaya’s advice and staying away from blogji (have to get those dozen saris Vijaya has promised!). Did manage to go to the Durga temple today for darshan, and what a lovely sight it was. This temple in New Jersey has beautiful idols of all the gods and goddesses, and I love going there. Wish I could take all of you there once, so you may see that beauty for yourselves. All the idols were decked up in their best festive finery today and looked divine!

    Also went for the Bengali Durga pooja — another lovely display of goddess kali Bengali style. Mondira, Mousumi, and all my bong friends, you would have been so happy to be there. Could not stay for sindoor khela, unfortunately. Well, there will be other times.

    Just a couple of things: Aish, the poems you posted yesterday were beautiful. Did you write them? Ramnathan, I liked the one you posted on how it is so great to be a man. It was funny.

    Ok, everyone, I need to hit the sack, so love to all of you: Archana, Mousumi, Aishwarya, Manoj Kumar Ojha, Sanjith (Kya hua Sanjith ko? Kahan hai?), Vijaya, Mukul, Srinivas, Saroj, Vipin Sharma, Sudhir (already bhool gaye mera naam?), Phyllis, Valorie Sunshine, Renate, Daisy M, Kashmira, S kh, Anat Magen, Hend Adel, Houda (Best of luck for your exam), Lakshmi Jag, Sharmila, Jasmine of London, Tehreem, AZ (how are you?) — and everyone else. Have a great day.

    Sincerely,

    JJ of J & NJ




  303. Abhaya says:

    Ignore the typos obviously there is an A before mitabh Bachchan..

    there are some other errors too.. one can still get the essence of what I wanted to say.. it should have been typed Mehmood instead of Mehmmod..

    More later

  309. Sudhir says:

    For AB,

    I referred to my brother, Vijay, in the present continuous. Thats not right. I don’t know where he is, if at all. We parted in 2003 after a nasty altercation. Last I heard, his daughters are doing their masters in the University of Georgia in the US.

    See, thats another small issue with me. The child refuses to give way to the man.

    Regards,

  314. sharmishta says:

    Isn’t it strange but still so true that u have been named Vijay in so many of ur movies and that u happened to be born on Vijaydashami day too!Great people always carry some mark of significance when they r born, i have noticed many times.Also i believe in the number 786 too, very much.
    Those beautiful photographs of all our revered gods and goddeses made my day though I pray to them daily too, also that beautiful tree with the lovely leaves looked so fresh and clean.
    Happy birthday to u mr. B ! Have a good day. Love




  315. Renate says:

    Hello dear Satinder,

    I did write you that email and yes, it is really me, having made promises in the excitement about AB’s birthday that will be hard to live up to. An Indian meal for real Indian people, what was little German me thinking???? Would AB approve if I made a German dinner in his honour?

    About the serious note, Sudhir, you did say you would not take a real EF’s name in vain, didn’t you?

    Love,
    Renate




  316. anu says:

    Hi Mr. Bachchan
    Belated Happy Birthday as per Hindu calendar…
    As far as the promotion for films are concerned it surely must be a task to answer the oft repeated questions & each channel or print media showcases as “EXCLUSIVE” !!
    Nevertheless, all the best for Colors & BIG BOSS-3 promotions.
    Its sheer joy in seeing the sapling grow into a healthy tree.Congrats for the new mobile and must say nice surprise as u typed the place & date in Hindi.
    Take care
    Love & regards

  317. Sudhir says:

    JJ, Valorie, Houda, Abhaya,

    JJ: I agree with Abhaya about listing the names. The RAM overruns. So, I have found another way. Write multiple entries to one or two at a time. If dear Angel can do it for AB, we can do it too, what say?

    Valorie: Musical, lyrical Valorie. No limits for AB! Not even the sky?

    Houda: Thank you for your wishes. It is a festive season… Eid al fitr - Dussera, Yom Kippur - Diwali - Eid al Hajj - Christmas ….

    Abhaya: Kuch nahin kahenge. Aap kehte hain to buss chuup… Sirf naam leke khamosh ho jaate hain! Sahir ki ek khubsoorat ghazal hai is baat par… par hum kahenge nahin… aap irshaad nahin kahenge, to hum kya kahen?

    Love

  324. Aditi says:

    Dear Sir,

    Best wishes to you and your family.

    You must have heard this a thousand times but it is the first for me…my husband who I love a lot is a die hard fan of yours since his childhood…he narrates your dialogues…like you said it in your movies and almost jumps off his seat every time he sees you on TV.

    We are from Hyderabad and have always wished to get a glimpse of you. His name is also Abhishek…guess his parents named him that because that is also your son’s name…Abhishek, has just landed in your city today for the first time and is thrilled to be there…

    I always heard that you do come out of your house on one of the days just to say a big ‘hi’ to all your fans….I am wanting to get him there on a surprise and am praying to at least have a look at you from a distance…

    Wanted to know when do you do this so I can ensure we are there to see you…guess that will be the only way as otherwise it will be impossible for us to ever have a look at you….do let me know and I will ensure to plan my trip tp Mumbai, bring my hubby near your place and look and god willing meet you.

    I know you have received a thousand bolgs to respond to but pleaseeeee try to respond to this one.

    Kind Regards
    Aditi

  328. Kashmira Grewal says:

    My dearest Mr. Bachchan,

    My family joins me in wishing you a very happy Birthday today! Wish you the best of health and the best of everything in life! I quite relate to this concept of a Hindu Calender, because Parsis too have one of their own - the Parsi Calender and evey Zorastrian has two birthdays in a year as well! Coincidentally you share your Hindu Calender Birthday today with another very esteemed and an old Member of our EF - Austere Seeker! Wishing you a very happy Birthday too Austie! May you always live under His Grace!

    Thank you for the nice pictures of Durga Maa and of Lakshman, Ram and Sita….reminded me of those old pictures which I’d see tucked inside the beading of the cupboard doors in my Father’s house! Yes, such was the ethos in the home I grew up in….a Parsi home, but you’d find strains of just about every Indian Religion, Christmas included, in the fabric of our Family. My Grandma would make sure that every festival was celebrated in the house…the most adventurous for me as a child then was Gudi Padwa…we’d almost fall backwards, trying to visually follow our domestic, climbing up on the roof to secure the pole there, with the ‘tamba’ sweetly dressed up in pink! Oh, what wouldn’t I give to have those days come back to me now!!

    It felt so good to see the picture of the tree, which you had planted during the IIFA in Bangkok. This is life….we create and then before we know it, our efforts have taken root and a new life, all of it’s own, is in full flourish and bloom!!

    I wish you good luck for all those promotional interviews for Aladin as also the press conference for Big Boss…three cities in one day!….that is a tall order I must say, but it does complement your status too doesn’t it? As for the media being in a subdued mode for the time bieng…well, miracles do happen, even in this age and time you know!! But more than anything, I adored the way you referred to the blog as ” Our Blog”, when you mentioned that one of the journos had even brought a print-out of yesterday’s brief. Thank you Mr. Bachchan! Thank you very very much indeed for your love and the respect that you afford us time after time, unfailingly! Btw, saw Jaadugar yesterday…!
    Bless you all ways!

    With much love,
    Ever,
    Kashmira

  330. Aishwarya, TVM says:

    #290 Sudhir, Thank you. I prefer the ‘lost in love’ ones to the ‘love lost’ shayari. Ur hugs and kisses came through…but got whooshed by my hubby.;)
    #309 It will be okay. Time will revert it all to present continuous. I promise. A cuddle to the child in you.

    JJ, No, unfortunately, they arent mine. All budding interests in music, drawing, and poetry were promptly crushed by dad, as he insisted I work hard and become a doctor. I am happy I could fulfil his dreams; it was my duty.
    Of course, the love for art lives on.:)

    Aish.




  331. Sudhir says:

    Satinder, Renate, Sharmila

    I have never done and nor ever spoof in the name of a living person on the blog. So rest assured.

    Shanouk was an obvious name for a spoof. Paa wouldn’t have taught Shanouk to use his paws on the keyboard!

    I have spoofed earlier with pseudonyms like Rock ‘Ale, Just J, etc and they responded in fun too. That was light humor. The names sounded like someone you know, but never the real one.

    So, Satinder, its a deal. And thank you for the ‘OOOO’, in return here is my ‘OXOXOXOXOXO’. Hey, does that read like a DNA code or a chromosomal chain? I don’t know. AB has used that for Sharmila once. So I suppose its legit.

    Regards,

    Sudhir




  332. Aishwarya, TVM says:

    Renate, Thats a challenge! Of course, we need to know what kind of Indian dish u would like to prepare. Shd it be something elaborate or something u can whip up in a jiffy?

    Satinder, Yeah, multiple spoofs. I wonder whom u just offered ur email id to. Beware!!!! :D




  333. Azmat H Khan says:

    Dear Amit Ji,

    Hope you will be fine,

    WISH YOU A HAPPY DASSEHRA, THE WIN OVER SINS.

    I could not read your all posts for a long time due to my prolong illness.

    Tks 4 tdy post.

    As you are aware each alphabet has its numeric value, actually 786 is the sum of Arabic letters, used in forming an ayah “Bismillahirrehmanirraheem”, (I start with the name of Allah), like in Hindi we use “OHM”. These holy religious words are not used for try. These are trusted words and should be read while start any work.

    So there is no need you to try now it was alredy proved while you succeded in Deewar, your unbeatable success.

    Best regards-

  336. Aishwarya, TVM says:

    Sudhir,

    BTW, this is the only ‘love lost’ song I like…

    Roxette - It must have been love (Pretty woman)

    Lay a whisper on my pillow
    Leave the winter on the ground
    I wake up lonely, is there a silence
    In the bedroom and all around

    Touch me now, I close my eyes
    And dream away…

    It must have been love, but it’s over now
    It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
    It must have been love, but it’s over now
    It’s where the water flows, it’s where the wind blows …

    Wonder if there’s anything similar in Urdu poetry.

    Aish.

  338. Melwyn says:

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,

    Good Morning. It was nice to know that you enjoyed the Dussehra celebrations with your family.

    Good Luck for the promotional press conferences for BB3 because you could be expected to provide 40 different answers to the same set of questions, again.

    Yes, it’s sad but true that star power, production values, locations, and marketing gimmicks have taken precedence over content. But the fact is small budget films with good content still do well. And this augurs well for the industry.

    The Bangkok tree has taken to you, so obviously it had to be tall and handsome just like you.

    Congratulations, and wishing you a merry time with the new mobile handset.

    Regards,

    Melwyn

    -

    Jane kya dhundhati rehti hain ye aankhen mujhme
    Raakh ke dher mein sholaa hai na chingaari hai

    Ab na vo pyaar na usaki yaadein baaki
    Aag yun dil mein lagi kuch na rahaa kuch na bachaa
    Jiski tasveer nigaahon mein liye baithe ho
    Hain vo diladaar nahin usaki hoon khaamosh chitaa

    … … Jaane kya dhoondhati rehti hain ye aankhen mujhumein
    … … Raakh ke dher mein sholaa hai na chingaari hai

    Zindagi hans ke na guzarti to bahut achchha tha
    Khair hans ke na sahi ro ke guzar jaayegi
    Raakh barabaad muhabbat ki bachaa rakhkhi hai
    Baar-baar isko jo chhedaa to bikhar jaayegi

    … … Jaane kya dhoondhati rehti hain ye aankhen mujhumein
    … … Raakh ke dher mein sholaa hai na chingaari hai

    Aarzu jurm vafaa jurma tamannaa hai gunaah
    Ye vo duniyaa hai jahaan pyaar nahin ho sakta
    Kaise baazaar ka dastoor tumhein samjhaaun
    Bik gayaa jo vo kharidaar nahin ho sakataa

    … … Jaane kya dhoondhati rehti hain ye aankhen mujhumein
    … … Raakh ke dher mein sholaa hai na chingaari hai

    Dearest AB

    Back in May you said you had 23 scripts lying around to read. Have you read them all yet?
    Also what was the other TV show you were offered apart from Big Brother?

    I think you should write a column for both papers HT and Times for a fixed period only.

    When do you start shooting for your other 10 movies you have signed now that you r busy with Big Brother?

    Dear Amit JI

    Nice to see the photograph of the tree you planted . All of us must try to utilise some of our spare time in such activities. Whenever we go for picnics in outskirts we must carry small saplings from Nursery and plant them at appropriate place where Sun Rays and water is available .

    Hello,

    Saw Abhishek and Ash on Oprah…looked amazing as always. Why is it that Abhishek looks as if he is always up to mischief? I swear he is like a universal little brother. One you could always count on for fun and a total prankster. Don’t know if he is like that in real life but he does come across like that. Very lovable. Ash embodies perfection and tact, looked very graceful.

    By the way love the pic of the tree.

    Happy dusshera and coming Deepawali festivals.

    We all must be careful for the enviormental surroundings prevailing around and nearby us. We must contribute the society with the minimal output of the green house gases by controlling the daily use of energy. Everybody should,if possible plant a tree and care it for a period tll it grows to help protect enviorment. We all should act instead saying like politicians.The act itself is the speech from anybody like our Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi.

  367. Pankaj Mohan says:

    यदि आज की फिल्मी सफलता मार्केटिंग पर इतनी ही ज्यादा निर्भर करती है तो यह अफसोसनाक है. और फिर यह समझ में आता है, कि पुराने जमाने का फिल्मी उन्माद कहाँ खो कर रह गया है. ये फिल्में आम दर्शकों के लिए कम, दर्शकों के एक विशेष समूह तथा मीडिया की व्यवसायिकता को ध्यान में रख कर बनाई जा रही हैं. इन फिल्मों को प्रो-ऑडिएंस अर्थात् दर्शाकोंमुख (दर्शक-उन्मुख…यदि ऐसा कोइ शब्द, ऐसा कोइ भावः है तो) नहीं माना जा सकता. इनका धेय सामित दायरे में निहित है. संकीर्ण है.

    पिछले कुछ दिनों से मैं स्वं अपने ब्लॉग पर बीते हुए जमाने के संगीत पर लिखता आया हूँ. इस प्रक्रिया में घंटों पुराने गीतों के बीच समय व्यतीत करना होता है. जो एक बात मैंने ख़ास नोट की वो ये है, कि ४० से ७० के शुरुआती वर्षों में फिल्मी कविता/ शायरी समृद्ध थी. मैं स्वयं किशोरदा का विशेष प्रशंसक रहा हूँ, लेकिन नजर घुमाने पर महसूस करता हूँ, कि बेहतर कविता तो रफी साहब एवं मुकेशजी के खाते में चली गयी. किशोरदा को (कुछ एक कवियों को छोड़) औसत दर्जे से ही काम चलाना पडा. यह और बात थी, कि उनकी व्यक्तिगत विशेषताओं तथा लताजी, आशाजी एवं आरडी बर्मन सरीखे दिग्गजों की वजह से, संगीत एवं गीत की दूसरी कमजोरिया ध्यान में नहीं आती हैं. लेकिन, उनके बाद क्या हुआ? कहाँ है फिल्मी गानों में कविता आज? आज के फिल्म-निर्माता “भूतनी के” एवं (गुलज़ार साहब की प्रतिभा को नतमस्तक होते हुए, उन्होनें इन गीतों में भी अपनी विशेषता बरक़रार रखी है) “तेली का तेल” सरीखे गानें लिख कर क्या दर्शाना चाहते हैं? क्षणिक उन्माद के अतिरिक्त क्या हांसिल हुआ है इन गीतों से?

    दूसरी तरफ, किशोरदा, रफी साहब, मुकेशजी, लताजी, आशाजी…इनका विहावालोकन करें, और खास करके ४० से ७० के दरमियान जिन गीतों की रिकार्डिंग हुई, उन्हें…और आप पायेंगें उन गीतों में मानवीय भावनाओं एवं मानवीय कथाओं की भरमार. संगीत प्रेमी (जिसमें नयी पीढी का एक सीमित लेकिन महत्वपूर्ण वर्ग भी शामिल है) उन गीतों को आज भी उतना ही पसंद करते हैं, जितने उस जमाने में किया करते थे! संगीत तो मात्र एक बहाना है, मेरी बातों का निशाना फिल्म-निर्माण की विधा पर केन्द्रित है.

Each and every leaf is healthy, beautiful, full of LIFE. Can I say the leaves represent EF and the trunk-Ours truly. We will gather soon and that appearance will simply look like this TREE.

    Thank U BB,

    Subho Bijaya Dashami’r pranam roilo and greetings for Dushera to U, Ur family, friends and all the members of EF.

    Writing U after 4 days. Yes, spent Puja very well with family. U and my FmEx was in my heart throughout the Puja. I prayed for all of U seperately though i do it regularly. It is nice to see that U have enjoyed Ur time with Ur family, specially with the kids. Next time U play soccer, I shall be there to cheer U up. I enjoyed Puja not only for the reason that I can go out and visit pandals. My enjoyment completes when I can give whole of my time to my kid. As a working mother I can only give him 4-5 hrs. to him which is very less for a growing child. So, in my off days I spend my time with him only.

    I also want to visit Ramkrishna Mission to watch how they perform Puja. I like their culture very much. It is nice that Ur lady family members visited RKM.

    Give 2 days time, I shall upload the Puja pics in FB and youtube for U.

    bye for now.

    my love and best wishes

    Hi

    Happy Birthday to you. When you said you were born on Dusshera day, I immediately was reminded of my grand mother who didn’t remember her date of birth but remembered that she was born anywhere between saawan and Dusshera. Those were old times but indeed were more simple and humble perhaps.

    It does seem that media has finally accepted the fact that they cannot distort any story about you or your family and put it for the fans, as we all are having a direct cord with you, and indeed we feel blessed.

    Long live the blog and our family….cheers…

    My Biography, titled ‘…and PRAN ’ by the late Bunny Reuben, published by

    Harper Collins was released by Amitabh Bachchan .

    The book is now available in Hindi and Marathi as well,at all leading book stores.

    I now spend my time watching sports and current affairs on the television.

    The secret to a long and healthy life is to think POSITIVE.

    With warm regards to you and your family,

    You Sir are actually a carbon copy of my day accept that he doesnt have a goatee but exactly the same height,figure,posture the voice my god so much resemblance.when ever i look at him your picture seem to be runnin in the back of my mind.May be one day i get to see you or hear your voice..your craziest of all FAN from karachi pakistan

    Manoj Kumar Ojha 218 - thanks so much for your fascinating explanation about Goddess Durga and her lion, which I only just picked up this morning.

    I love all the details of the lion symbolism and the idea of the Goddess having all the strength of a lion… a very inspiring model for us women!

    I had consulted my Dictionary of Hindu Lore and Legend and it didn’t even mention a whisker of Durga’s lion - what a useless book! Written and published by Britishers (the company I work for actually) - what can you expect! :)

    I shall enjoy looking at the website now. This is just one of the reasons this Blog is so great!

    For Satinder, Renate, JJ, Aish & Reeham,

    Satinder, Renate, JJ, Aish: Promise no spoofs today. Guarntee one tomorrow in the first session between 0700 and 1000 Blog Time.

    Reeham: Thank you. You are welcome. Let’s continue to share these good wishes on the blog for many years to come.

    Abhaya Bhai: yeh aap ke liye -

    Tum apna ranj-o-gam apni pareshaani mujhe de do
    Tumhe gam ki qasam is dil ki veeraani mujhe de do

    … … … Your sorrow, grief, dilemma, leave it to me
    … … … Swear by the angst, this desolation, leave it to me

    Ye maanaa main kisi qaabil nahin hun in nigaahon me
    Bura kya hai agar ye dukh ye hayraani mujhe de do

    … … … Okay I am not be adept in this in your view
    … … … Whats the harm if woe & disbelief you leave it me?

    Main dekhun to sahi duniyaa tumhe kaise sataati hai
    Kuch din ke liye apni nigeh’baani mujhe de do

    … … … Let me see how the EF (our world) tries you
    … … … For a while, this sentinel, leave it to me!

    Dear Amit..ji

    VIJAY DASHMI KI BAHUT BAHUT SHUBHKAMNAAYEIN…

    I saw a 50 years tribute to doordarshan….30 minutes video. Its amazing.
    It has a clipping of yours as well…when you had that accident and you were on doordarshan thanking everyone…you really looked very slim…and very weak in that. I am sure …it was one of the toughest and Testing Time of your life . People who stood by you at that time…..are the people who cared a LOT.

    But watching that clip was very interesting. You must visit the below link..and i am sure you will like it as well. May be in your next blog you can mention something about this period of “door darshan”…its amazing. Now we have so many channels but nobody cares….i think that period only was very different.

    I remember when i was a kid i used to wait for vikram vetal and chitrahaar….
    what fun…..

    Please do check this link if you get time..

    Hi Kashmira!
    I grew up in a Sikh home but the ethos was akin to your home…..all fesivals were celebrated with equal zeal, and with appropriate cuisines to grace the table….be it holi, easter baisakhi,guruparvs,ids,or Xmas!! May be it had something to do long years of cantonment life….and continued as a way of life post retirement too!!

    I have passed on the same values & traditions to my daughter too ,Xmas & Ids are as special to us as holi & Diwali & guruji’s birthdays ; she has also added august 15, as a date to be celebrated joyously ,as we indians,at home, generally tend to undervalue our living as independent citizens of an independent nation!!
    Love & best wishes!!

  455. RAVI P MALHOTRA says:

    Dear Amitji, Good Afternoon. Happy Vijaydashami. It is indeed a pleasure to be busy on an auspicious occasion to show case your work. Rightly you point out the marketing industry that has surrounded the business of film promotion. First day first show first week and the fate of BramhaKamal will be known. Everyone prepares for the crowds to come to the multiplexes in short time and contribute their financial might to make or break the film. TV News Papers every possible critic would pounce for its pound of flesh and few ounces of blood. The movie is torn apart by all and anaysed with as many broken stars one can manage from the critics.
    Decision making is in the hands of people who specialise in dictating choices for people at large. Honestly everyone is busy milking the cow and selling the milk. God knows when we can see a silver-jubilee or Golden-Jubilee in these terbulent days. Even if a film runs for 25 shows at a stretch it is fair and 25days will make it superbly successful beating all records. Times have changed so also rules of the game have changed.
    In my lifetime I have read one novel at the insistence of my late dear friend Roland. It was ‘When The Lion Feeds’ by Wilber Smith. Film Industry is also like how the Lion feeds. After the satiation of hunger Lion will leave its prey for the other animals. Each one will take its turn and finally vultures will arrive after a few days when everyone has finished. They too have a job on hand in final disposition. Ofcourse sighting 200 today made headlines in news-papers.
    Congratulations for your new machine called mobile phone. Now we can expect better fonted writeups or uploaded pictures. The tree picture shown above is absolutely fresh and healthy. Our environment needs such trees as our larger lungs. We are not only destroying tree cover but rapidly replacing that with concrete jungles. Somewhere someone has to stop and call for change.
    Dr Pachauri has contributed his might towards the cause and has brought laurels to himself. In some small significant way we too need to make the green cover increase.
    Have a wonderful day and enjoy your work. My regards to those who appreciate nature’s cycle and help in preserving nature. Green cover means more rains and better quality of air to breathe. Less deseases to fight and long life for everyone to enjoy.
    Ravi P Malhotra

    Dear Sudhir

    I think the first one you submitted is much more dear to me.. vaise bhi tum apna ranj o gham .. to maine nahut pahle tumhare liye kaha thaa.. shayad tumhe yaad nahi..

    I discover that you have done that with the meaning of the ghazal.. translit.. my friend is probably not same as translate.. correct me if I am wrong..

    Here is another discovery that I made as I searched from my all time favourite jaane kya dhoondhati rahati hai.. I did know that it was from Shola aur Shabnam.. yet I did not know Shola aur shabnam had Dharmebdra in it.. here is a link for that

    Happy Dashehra !!!

    We just came from one of the Garba hosted by local group. One fo the song they played was from suhag (sabse bada tera naam). I knew when we were growing up and watche dthsi movie we never liked this song as there was no dishum dishum but even producers had not anticpated that after 3 decades this song would still be popular..

    May God Bless you. Sir I want to meet you….I am in Bangalore..pls let me knowis ther any way I can meet you for few minutes.

    Thanks & Best Regards
    Shalabh




  464. Sudhir says:

    Abhaya,

    Its not necessary that a ghazal is presented in a movie in the same manner as the poet had conceptualized it. In many Hindi movies, both old and new, almost every type of romanticism is reduced to passionate relationships!

    I am at a slight advantage about this, in that, I can’t distinguish between Sahir’s ghazals that are taken in films and those in the anthologies. So for me each one has a universal appeal.

    Although a socialist by temper, Sahir was not a mutineer or a radical who could resort to carnage for a whim.

    Here are excerpts from one of Sahir’s best known epic titled ‘Talkhiyan’

    Meri umeed agar mit gayi to mitne do
    Ummeed kya hai bas ik pesh-o-pas hai kuch bhi nahin

    Meri hayaat ki gamgeeniyon ka gam na karo
    Gam-e-hayaat, gam-e-yak-nafas hai kuch bhi nahin

    Mujhe tumhaare taga’ful se kya shikaayat ho
    Meri fanaa mere ehsaas ka taqaazaa hai

    Main jaanta hun duniya ka khauf hai tumko
    Mujhe khabar hai ye duniya ajeeb duniya hai

    Yahaan hayaat ke parde mein maut palti hai
    Shikast-e-saaz ki aavaaz rooh-e-nagma hai

    Main apni rooh ki har ik khushi mitaa lunga
    Magar tumhaari masarrat mitaa nahin sakta

    Main khud ko maut ke haathon mein saunp sakta hun
    Magar ye baar-e-masaa’ib uthaa nahin sakta

    Tumhaare gam ke siva aur bhi to gam hain mujhe
    Najaat jin se main ik lehza paa nahin sakta

    Gali gali mein ye bikte hue javaan chehre
    Haseen aankhon mein afsurdagi si chhaai hai

    Ye jang aur ye mere watan ke shaukh javaan
    Khareedi jaati hain uthati javaaniyaan jinki

    Ye baat baat pe qaanon-o-zaabte ki giraft
    Ye zillatein, ye gulaami, ye daur-e-majboori

    Ye gam bahut hain meri zindagi mitaane ko
    Udaas rah ke mere dil ko aur ranj na do!

    — Sahir

    Regards,

    Sudhir

    Dear Brother
    good evening

    I share here a link to Pran sahab’s website.. a website unlike blogsite is different.. different in the sense that it is more organsied.. that it is more stationary than dynamic unlike blog.. which is more or less a diary with added comments.. website can not replace a blog nor a blog can replace a website..

    http://www.pransikand.com/

    I should not have to add here that atleast one person wanted this link.. I know many more would be interested in it once I tell that his website has a link to the foreword written by you.. I read it and also found it very interesting..

    Love

    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)

    My dearest Amithji

    Thanks soooo much for the wishes.
    What lovely photograps. The mango tree looks so beautiful. You say you planted it at IIFA venue at Bangkok, So this photograph was to you from Bangkok? It’s lovely.

    Have been watching you on TV a lot these days. You don’t how happy it makes me feel just watching you.

    So dusshera has come & gone now we are all waiting for Diwali.

    Sooooo, Amithji, you too were born on ‘Vijayadashmi’ day!!!!!!!!! So is my husband!! It’s very uncanny, really , you share the day with my husband & the date { 11th } with my daughter!!! My daughter’s birthday was on sept 11th.
    A very hindu, birthday wishes to you . May you live for ever!

    Take care,
    with regards,
    kalpana kakade

    Jasmine J, Kashmira ji , Naresh Kapoor - Hello to all of you too!




  483. Jasmine of London says:

    My dearest Mr. Bachchan,

    Good afternoon! Hoping you are very well and the press conferences and various activities are as trouble-free as can be expected considering the overwhelming task!

    Certainly refreshing to learn the media has graciously permitted you some respite from relentless public flogging. They do fluctuate in approach to you, somehow often becoming more amiable when you are out of the public eye at length. Perhaps the media’s perspective of you will have altered too since your alliance with Colors and BiggBoss. The initial decision was undoubtedly risky and they surely must respect your highly commendable professional malleability.
    Even so, I’m sure you must be perfectly aware that with four professional projects pending you will have heightened their curiosity radar and conceivably now teeter on the brink of a debacle. Of course we ‘sincerely’ hope not; but it may be a concern if you were pacified beyond reason at this stage.
    The content of the blog has always been of greatest interest to them, either when a sizeable event has taken place (like the GQ awards on Sunday), or when you relate ‘newsworthy’ information about your career or family. Also these are the days the more reputable electronic media construct their articles around your words, and the lesser simply plagiarize! You are sometimes reputed a ‘man of few words’ in the public eye, so ’this little world’ in which your words are abundant would probably hold appeal for the foreign spectator in that respect. The introspective philosophical thoughts, debates and routine addresses to the Ef are evidently a repellent!.. Still ..there is no accounting for taste is there Mr. Bachchan, we certainly appreciate your words in any form!

    The lush green young tree is indeed a handsome specimen to feast the eyes upon and it has been tended to very well, you must be very proud of its appearance! Greening our rapidly desiccating environment is an urgent cause sadly since we have been such a reckless and indulgent race for so long. One of the gravest errors of out time is our failure to recognize the multiple benefits of our natural environment - the way it was indented. Frantic exertions made to salvage what we have willingly destroyed seems a little nonsensical now! In the UK it is estimated each citizen should plant just five trees a year in order to offset the Carbon emissions we produce and repopulate overall greenery. Not an unreasonable request, but one that I personally have not complied with, and should! Dr. Pachauri’s efforts are admirable as are your own efforts worthy of recognition and praise Mr. Bachchan.

    I hope your new mobile phone did work and the specifications meet with your approval! Admittedly your statements of excitement over a gadget were a touch perplexing when I read them last night.. But I guess it is just ‘boy’s and their toys’ then!!

    I do hope you are enjoying the day and of course that your travel between cities was safe and comfortable. Stay well Mr. Bachchan.

    With much love..
    Jasmine

  484. Daksha says:

    Dear Sir,

    Thank you for your wishes in words and visuals for Vijyadashmi. Yes, vijay means victory and both Durga Maa and Shree Ram had gained victory over evil. The beautiful face of Durgaa Maa portrays love and compassion for her devotees but how really terrifying she looks when she turns dark and becomes vicious whilst on a mission to kill the demons. For the non-Hindu members of FmXt, she is then called Kaali Maa (Kaali means dark). If anyone wishes to see how she had transformed herself, there are many pictures on the web.

    I hope you and your family were able to enjoy the festivities. May God bless you all. Aah!…a birthday on Vijyadashmi? Happy belated birthday Sir. Hmm…born three times every year….so you want three presents? What gift can one possibly give you…you have already replaced your blackcherry sorry blackberry with another one.. I can send you a wish…love and happiness always!

    What a beautiful picture of the tree, leaves on it, leaves beneath it…there is always hope the planet will be saved by mankind from mankind….

    Love,
    Daksha

    Dear Valorie Adams, a few days ago I had read one of your very beautiful poems..but I had read it in a hurry so today I went back to it to read it properly…it came straight from your heart and has landed into mine and will stay there. You are truly gifted. God bless you.

    By the way I almost forgot to tell you which one it was (what a selection!)..the one about Maa and her little one…I have done it myself..went to India to pray. It worked!

    Love from Daksha

    Hello Amit ji,

    What a beautiful healthy tree,
    It’s so good to be able to sit down and read your blog again. Lots happening here, rehearsals for the amateur musical that I’m in. My new car has given me the freedom to explore the country side. Some fears and tears at work amongst some team members…all friends again now, thank goodness.
    Dust storms from central Australia blowing in, dinner parties, unexpected wedding invitations, last minute travel arrangements to unexpected weddings, coffee dates, dance classes, birthdays etc…. and some times when I’m very lucky I have time to sit and read your blog.

    Always an enjoyable read.

    Many good wishes
    Marilena

She had such a great opportunity to tak about Indian cinema… oh well may be that was her line of thought…

  497. Mario Andrew Rodrigues says:

    I came back again just to see the tree. Its just not an ordinary tree. I can see the love present on this tree and I remembered a story told of a tree which bore no mangoes.
    The story, in short, goes like this:-
    A family always used to fight, shout , lived unhappily and also abused the tree which was in their compound for not bearing enough fruits( mangoes). This went on for many years. And yes one could count the few mangoes which grew on this large tree. This family finally left the place. Another family came in to the house who were very loving, joyful, happy and also admired this same mango tree and played , sang, and even prayed under this tree. Much to the suprise this same barren tree was filled with hundreds of mangoes. This is not a joke not a made up story. Plants, Trees also blooms depending upon who plants them and lives near them. When I was admiring the tree, I was counting the leaves and could count around 200 which were very clear and prominant and I estimate around 400 to be on the other side. What struck me was everyday you do get a reply from an average 600 EF. So in short,
    a) You see 200 EF everyday as they are very prominant
    b) If you look around you do see other 400 too.
    c) And the no. of leaves increasing points to the fact that EF also are increasing in nos.

    This is just my imagination. For some It may sound wiered, for some it might sound very thoughtful of what LOVE around can do.
    Sp.Regards
    Mario

    i added some of usual stuff to my blog…and after addding went of too sleep…when i woke up there was a comment…and i realized my friend has gone through the post…most probably…

    and it struck me…why i post…though i cant clearly frame it in words…as it might require more pondering over it in time….

    but struck me…that there is a type of people…and so many types….and you imagine reading and re-reading something you wrote in spontaneous spur of moment….and you realize there are so many ways the person must have felt…and you get excited…of the positivity…

    this is amazing feel of sharing….texts….and even one unexpected event over makes everything around…ever happened…worth…given you were true too…

    मेरी उम्मीद अगर मिट गई तो मिटने दो
    उम्मीद क्या है बस इक पेश-ओ-पास है कुछ भी

    मेरी हयात की गमगीनियों का गम न करो
    गम-ऐ-हयात, गम-ऐ-याक-नफस है कुछ भी नहीं

    मुझे तुम्हारे तागा’फुल से क्या शिकायत हो
    मेरी फना मेरे एहसास का तकाजा है

    मैं जानता हूँ दुनिया का खौफ है तुमको
    मुझे ख़बर है ये दुनिया अजीब दुनिया है

    यहाँ हयात के परदे में मौत पलती है
    शिकस्त-ऐ-साज़ की आवाज़ रूह-ऐ-नगमा है


    मैं अपनी रूह की हर इक खुशी मिटा लूँगा
    मगर तुम्हारी मसर्रत मिटा नहीं सकता

    मैं ख़ुद को मौत के हाथों में सौंप सकता हूँ
    मगर ये बार-ऐ-मासा’इब उठा नहीं सकता

    तुम्हारे गम के सिवा और भी तो गम हैं मुझे
    नजात जिन से मैं इक लहजा पा नहीं सकता

    गली गली में ये बिकते हुए जवान चेहरे
    हसीं आंखों में अफ्सुर्दगी सी छाई है

    ये जंग और ये मेरे वतन के शौख जवान
    खरीदी जाती हैं उठती जवानियाँ जिनकी

    ये बात बात पे कानों-ओ-जाब्ते की गिरफ्त
    ये जिल्लतें ये गुलामी, ये दौर-ऐ-मजबूरी

    ये गम बहुत हैं मेरी ज़िन्दगी मिटाने को
    उदास रह के मेरे दिल और रंज न दो!
    साहिर

    Dear Lion King,

    I just completed watching the Oprah show and your cub stole the show. He had both Oprah and the audience eating out of his hands. One could see how smitten Oprah was and Oprah rarely is. I thought the last time she was like this was when she had Denzel Washington on the show, another charmer of the highest order. Abhishek was not only charming but articulate and he effused with the values that one likes to see.I especially enjoyed his rebuttal on “how does that work?”. Needless to say his Mrs had hypnotized Oprah with her eyes, which by themselves do all the talking. The grounding you have given your cub is more than commendable and without a doubt the legacy shall continue.

    Hope you are able to convey our appreciation.

    Love
    Sharmila

    Good Evening Mr. Bachchan,

    I wanted to congratulate you on what Abhishek said in Oprah yesterday. Oprah asked him how does it works that you live with your parents. He gave the best answer anybody can think of, he said you dont live with your parents, when she said no, he replied how does that work.

    It shows how high our family values are and we dont have to show them and give any reason to any body. Great answer from a great son. Congratulations to you and Jaya ji for giving him such values.
    Jyoti.

  532. Sanjay Gandotra says:

    DEAR TO ALL AMITHABH BACHCHAN JI
    Your phrase “extended family” churned and stirred my thought process to acknowledge that how true of you to have expressed it. In our lives the people who occupy our minds or the people that we think about most are probably our family, friends and relatives. You, unknowingly or unwillingly, fall in a category that betters the one just mentioned. Ever since Zanjeer and later, your presence in day to day lives of every Indian has been immense. Be it a newspaper or radio or TV or some tabloid or even walls or electric poles, its been hard to keep you away from our sights, minds and lives ( Honestly, we never tried that also) . So for this kind of relationship that we share between us, may be, a new term needs to be coined, which defines the intimacy and exuberance attached to it.
    REGARDS.

    Hello dearest and beloved Mr. Bachchan,

    I have just returned back from a short visit to Alexandria…
    I was traveling the whole night and reached Cairo at almost 4am..iam happy then to get back to my computer and back to you with normal and better connection.. :)

    Happy Vijayadashmi to you and for all your dear ones.
    It was interesting to read of the stories and events connected to this festivity, and also of the celebration of this auspicious day with the ‘genda phool’ decorating the house and the cars.
    Thank you for your warm and nice wishes, and may this auspicious event and this festival season brings you and your family all happiness, prosperity and lots of blessings.

    These promotional works sound to be really exhaustive. I wish you all success with Aladdin, and all best of luck with the press conference and the interviews for Colors and BigBoss 3.

    Iam really enchanted by the view of your tree. I think it should be named after you, and to be called Amitabh Bachchan Tree.
    My father is a lover of greenery. Several years ago he has planted two small bushes in front of our building where we live. They have come to be big trees now and he is certainly happy and delightful to see them like that.

    Iam not really acquainted with the indication of this number 786. I will be looking for its indication.

    Happy birthday again m dearest dear,
    And enjoy your time…

    With much love..
    Rasha Zayed,
    BigB yahoo group,
    & BigB facebook group,

    Cairo, Egypt.

    Dear Amitji,

    Happy Birthday and Happy Vijyadashmi to you.

    Saw Ab Jr. couple’s interview on Oprah yesterday. both looked great. Aishwarya was very graceful, serene and simply gorgeous, she now looks more beautiful and Happier then ever, I guess that’s secret of having wonderful In-Law family.

    with love and regards Avani

    For Abhaya,

    Thank you for the devanagari script of the version. I don’t know how to do that. And thank you for Pransahab’s link. I have not met a more decent, unassuming celebrity ever. Manoj Ku,ar pulled off a casting coup when he got Pransahab to play the character artist in Upkaar. Remember the song:

    Kasme, Vaade, Pyaar, Wafa, sab, baatein hai baaton ka kya
    Koi kisi ka nahi hai, jhoote naate hai, naaton ka kya…

    Hindu ka yeh kaam agar hai, Mandir kisne loota hai |
    Kaam agar yeh muslim ka hai, Khuda ka ghar kyon toota hai ||

    Jis mazhub mein, jayaz hai yeh, woh mazhub to jhoota hai
    Kasme, Vaade, Pyaar, Wafa, sab, baatein hai baaton ka kya…

    The first time I saw this verse on the screen, I had tears running down my face. I couldn’t hold myself. I was just 12 years old!!

    Heres a link to the song -

    Comment (204) Day (84)….

    Sri Lankan government is trying to save all the evidences related to Ravana they have in Sri Lanka.

    According to Ramayana….

    Ravana had ‘Pushpak Vimana’ .. Sri Lankan govt. says ..they found plateau at very high altitude where Ravana used the place as Air Strip.

    They also declared one place as Air Craft repair center.

    They also claim body of Ravana is still kept in one cave in shape of mummy and according to Nag Vansha belief reincarnation of Ravana is possible in near future.

    Most importantly treasury of Ravana is still intact and kept beneath that stone coffin, remember Ravana’s Sri Lanka called Golden City.

    Happy Birth Day Maestro….

    Regards,

    LOTTUS….

    Dear Amitabh Bachchan,
    It’s the first time for me on your blog and I thoroughly enjoy reading your everyday remarks. I’m a student in France (though I am British) and I am preparing a PhD on Indian Cinema, more precisely my work is focused on your films during the 1970s and 80s. I find Indian Cinema fascinating and love studying your films. If by any chance I could contact you for further information, or write a letter to you, because I have so many questions I would like to ask you for my research…? Please, do not consider me being rude by asking you this, it is just out of curiosity and, of course, to help me with my research on your films.
    If you are interested, please give me an answer. I would be so grateful for your help.
    Yours sincerely,
    Wendy

    Dear Mr Amitabh-ji,

    I admire and appreciate your achievements in life. Since childhood I am searching for mature, talented, sensible, intelligent, emotional, reasonable, caring, sharing and loving friends, who have all the senses in full. However, no luck till date…I guess my requirements are too much? But I am sure people with all these qualities together are there… Possibly I am unfortunate to come across such a cross section of people… it will be great if I receive a response from you:)

    Wish you and your family a very happy dussehra. BTW, my earlier landlady in Vancouver, who was from Taiwan, used to watch all the movies of your bahurani and is a great fan of Aishwarya Rai…She knows all the details about her life…

    Regards,

    Kumkum

    Dear Sudhir
    The more I read your views, the more you reveal yourself unto us, the more I get to love you the more I yearn to meet you..

    milana ho to kaise mile ham
    milane ki soorat likh do

    nain bichhaye baithe hai hum
    kab aaoge khat likh do..

    Yes, the upkar song you talked about was once upon a time my all time favourite.. I have long back given up on casting songs and even films into categories.. now I just love anything that is good.. I like everything that is worth my liking as a human being..

    I do find that people dost didi in particular and a few others like Srinvas et al. still refer me by name.. I have given up to their wishes.. I shall not mind being referred or cross-referred.. I do not see too much harm which I thought some 24 hours ago.. it is all right..

    Abhaya Sharma
    PS I did that using blogspot.. there were some errors yet I could with some difficulty remove some of them..there are few more.. and if you notice some more you can tell me either here or at email..

    I also use mangal font fopr difrect typing here.. the posts in Hindi are not sing transliteration at all they are the in original unicode hindi font mangal.. more of it some other day..

    # 20 Adhish…

    I can totally relate with that feeling, Aidish.

    I recall in 1999, once my husband and I went to watch ‘Shool’ in Goregaon (Mumbai), and we saw Jaaved Akhtar and Shabana Azmi (with Bhawana Somayya) sitting in the same row as us, across the aisle. I am such a big fan of both but didn’t want to intrude into their private space or didn’t have the courage…I think it was a bit of both. Anyways, during intermission, we stepped out and as I was re-entering the theatre, my hand touched the person’s hand who was walking right behind me in the process of holding the door. As a reflex I turned around and it was Jaaved Akhtar. I was so dumb-struck, I couldn’t even utter a word. But since that day, I take great pride in telling everyone that I have touched Jaaved Akhtar, the great writer’s hand.

    Here is the answer to ABSQ Quiz~

    1. In which movie Big B played the Durga Pujo Trance Beat(Dhaak Beat) and what was the song???

    Answer : “Barsaat ki ek Raat”(1981) and the song was ~

    And song picturised during drum contest between Amjad Khan(Kaaliram) and Amitabh Bachchan(Inspector Abhijeet Rai)

    Kaaliram ka phat gaya dhol, beech bajariya khul gaya pol, ho gaya uska dabba gol, bol hari bol hari bol hari bol…

  596. Patheya says:

    Dear Mr. Bachchan, Namaste
    Happy B’Day & happy Vijaya Dashami. I am not sure if you’d read this to be able to respond to it, but I just wanted to point out that your suggestion about Vijaya Dashami being your birth day as per the Hindu calendar does not coincide with 11th of Oct. 1942. It could either be 1940 (with adjustment of time) and/or 1943, but then the date is not 11th. This may or may not be of too significant a moment, for “public” purposes, but it is of great interest to some of us who follow planetary movements. Thanks for your interest. Best regards.

    Dearest AB,Great to hear about another birthday ,chalo accha hai ek aur bahana for” KUCH MEETHA HO JAYE” but as i can recall you mentioned that you have weaned yourself from cadburys.Anyways another occasion to celebrate…The pictures of maa durga and shree ram darbar are very nice and brings the innate closeness with us ,it was also so sweet of yours to mention this little world of yours(y +ours).the planted tree (feels it’s a mango tree) looks eyecatching and be assured is in good hands too. ha.i feel you should be celebrating vijaydashmi with jayaji,shewta,ash,abhi,navya and yet to become the best football player agastya.work is work and for the forthcoming entertainers.
    i’m so glad to be part of such an integrated family .you have made this possible and i’m always so delighted to come to this ADDA.love vikas
    # Manoj Bro how’s life,whats up,,,just missed the bus of no 1.well done
    ##Sharmila Hi,This xoxoxoxoxo was a great revelation.Good wishes for the festive season.
    ### Aish YOU DID IT AGAIN ,you were not late but was the earliest so the early bird prize goes to you.This reminds me of our Anatomy prof,,,i /we were late for his lecture(his favourite topic osteology).He welcomed us and said very politely ..Gentlemen i’m so sorry to say but you are too early for the next class…the whole class had a great laugh riot.little did we realise that there was just 5 min left for the lecture to get over.ha.

  625. PB a fan in Texas says:

    Lovely tree. How wonderful to see its growth so quickly.

    It broke my heart when hurricane Katrina hit our old family property, my parent’s home when they were alive, in East Texas (land of dense pine forests known as “the big thicket”), and though the hurricane miraculously did no damage to the house, it knocked about forty five trees. It took our extended family about 4 years to clear this up, and the loss of many one hundred year old and two hundred year old trees was felt like a loss of family members.

    Another Hopkins poem, Jasmine Jaywant, for you, an elegy for fallen trees he loved:

    Binsey Poplars

    felled 1879

    MY aspens dear, whose airy cages quelled,
    Quelled or quenched in leaves the leaping sun,
    All felled, felled, are all felled;
    Of a fresh and following folded rank
    Not spared, not one
    That dandled a sandalled
    Shadow that swam or sank
    On meadow and river and wind-wandering weed-winding bank.

    O if we but knew what we do
    When we delve or hew—
    Hack and rack the growing green!
    Since country is so tender
    To touch, her being só slender,
    That, like this sleek and seeing ball
    But a prick will make no eye at all,
    Where we, even where we mean
    To mend her we end her,
    When we hew or delve:
    After-comers cannot guess the beauty been.
    Ten or twelve, only ten or twelve
    Strokes of havoc únselve
    The sweet especial scene,
    Rural scene, a rural scene,
    Sweet especial rural scene.

    Felled in 1879, but reading this it feels as if yesterday…

    Can’t remember which EF it is who always signs off with the quote about planting a tree, but , sir, I love that signature of yours!




  626. qwert says:

    I don’t know when my laughter turned to tears,
    When my joys became my fears,
    when one touch and you’d be gone,
    and I’d be standing all alone.
    I laughed till I cried,
    I knew, but still I tried,
    To make a place in your life.

    You walked away without a word,
    you neither saw nor heard
    The love I tried to prove
    The way my life, around you moved.
    I don’t know how long I cried
    and wished that I had died.

    And how my body ached for you,
    And how you ignored my love so true.
    So, I’m standing all alone again,
    Wiping the tears that always begin,
    Every day and every night
    and every silent moment of my life ,
    Whenever I think of the many ways
    I was a fool for you.

  631. Renate says:

    Dear Phyllis,

    Reading your poem gave me goose bumps just now - and that at work, too! Thank you so much, it says it all.

    You don’t speak German, do you? There is a beautiful song by Alexandra, who died tragically in a car accident in the 1960s at a young age, called ‘Mein Freund der Baum’, ‘My friend the Tree’, which tells the story of a young girl’s best friend being felled. It is perhaps not proper to put up the German lyrics, but perhaps someone will appreciate it, otherwise, my sincere apologies.

    Mein Freund der Baum

    Ich wollt’ dich längst schon wieder seh’n,
    mein alter Freund aus Kindertagen,
    ich hatte manches dir zu sagen
    und wusste, du wirst mich verstehn.
    Als kleines Mädchen kam ich schon zu dir
    mit all den Kindersorgen;
    Ich fühlte mich bei dir geborgen,
    und aller Kummer flog davon.
    Hab ich in deinem Arm geweint,
    strichst du mit deinen grünen Blättern mir übers Haar,
    mein alter Freund.

    Refrain:
    Mein Freund der Baum ist tot, er fiel im frühen Morgenrot.

    Du fielst heut’ früh, ich kam zu spät,
    du wirst dich nie im Wind mehr wiegen,
    du musst gefällt am Wege liegen,
    und mancher der vorüber geht,
    der achtet nicht den Rest von Leben
    und reißt an deinen grünen Zweigen,
    die sterbend sich zur Erde neigen.
    Wer wird mir von nun die Ruhe geben,
    die ich in deinem Schatten fand?
    Mein bester Freund ist mir verloren,
    der mit der Kindheit mich verband.

    Refrain:
    Mein Freund der Baum ist tot, er fiel im frühen Morgenrot.

    Bald wächst ein Haus aus Glas und Stein
    dort, wo man ihn hat abgeschlagen,
    bald werden graue Mauern ragen,
    dort, wo er liegt im Sonnenschein.
    Vielleicht wird es ein Wunder geben;
    ich werde heimlich darauf warten,
    vielleicht blüht vor dem Haus ein Garten
    und er erwacht zu neuem Leben.
    Doch ist er dann noch schwach und klein
    und wenn auch viele Jahre gehen,
    er wird nie mehr derselbe sein.

    Refrain:
    Mein Freund der Baum ist tot, er fiel im frühen Morgenrot.

    Perhaps I shall attempt to translate it later when I have the time.

    Love,
    Renate

    Nina M #552: Thank you so much for posting the link to the pictures from the GQ awards. Love seeing the Bachchans, everyone together looking so happy and beautiful//handsome. Loved Jayaji’s sari. I admire her so much — a pictue of dignity.

    Aish, “It must’ve been love, but it’s over now” is also one of my most favorite songs! Thanks for reminding me of it, hadn’t heard it in a while.

    Sudhir, I share the love of Sahir’s shayari, which always lives in my heart, his ghazals and songs echo within me relentlessly and endlessly. Also Gulzar’s. Love the exchange of sher-o-shayari between you and Abhaya (I’m aware of the ban on “ji”!).

    Re: listing names, I say whatever works for each person. I find it easier to say hello to everyone in one mail rather than write 20 (which I write anyway, but then I’d have to write 60!). But Renate does have a point — there’s always the fear that you’ve missed someone!

    You must be very proud of them both.

    Sudhir, don’t apologize for the length of your Tagore poems; they were, each and every one, wonderful! That’s one long post I didn’t mind at all scrolling thru, in fact, I was sorry when it came to an end. Thank you!

    “I WILL WAIT FOR THEE” by Paramahansa Yogananda

    In the center of my heart I have a mystic throne for Thee. The candles of my joys are dimly lighted in the hope of Thy coming. They will burn brighter when Thou appearest. Whether Thou comest or not, I will wait for Thee until my tears melt away all material grossness.

    To please Thee my love-perfumed tears will wash Thy feet of silence. The alter of my soul will be kept empty until Thou comest.

    I will talk not; I will ask naught of Thee. I will realize that Thou knowest the pangs of my heart while I wait for Thee.

    Thou dost know that I am praying; Thou dost know that I love no other.
    Yet whether Thou dost come to me or not, I will wait for Thee, though it be
    for eternity.

  666. Syed Kabeeruddin says:

    Dearest Buddy,

    Waited for the new post, hope and pray all is fine.
    Sir, learnt that the light of your life is coming to my home town Bangalore today for the launch of Omega watches and I’m eagerly waiting to see him personally.

    It would be a great opportunity for me to see the sibling of my dream icon. I missed an opportunity to meet Abhishek Bachchan when he came to Bangalore in 2001 during the shooting of Om Jai Jagdish, since I was not in India the Great during that time, was deputed in Seoul, South Korea for seven months. Hope to catch him up today. All my other fan friends met Abhishek and have taken photographs.

    Sir, if you happen to read this before Abhishek drives down for the launch, please tell him that the one holding the camera without taking any photographs and staring at Abhishek is ME, but of course with all my prayers, love and well wishes always.

    Warm regards,
    Kabeer

    Hi sir,

    Just want to say I saw the Oprah show, and both Abhi and Aish rock on the show. Aishwarya was looking stunning, Abhi was so funny. They make a good couple. Love them.

    Congrats on your award.

    Greetings ashna




  674. PB a fan in Texas says:

    Renate 631

    I’m so glad you liked the Hopkins poem. And thank you for posting the German one.

    And, yes I spoke German as a child. My father was an American military man and was stationed in Germany for some years. We lived there until I was seven years old, so I grew up speaking both English and German.

    Unfortunately, when we moved back to the United States, there was no one to speak it with, since my parents never learned the language, and it is one of those lost skills I will mourn forever. I did take a couple of semesters of German as an undergraduate, and I can muddle through using a dictionary, so I will definitely copy your poem and mull over it when I have some time.

    Thanks again for writing it!

    Love,
    Phyllis




  675. PB a fan in Texas says:

    PS Renate, I don’t know that poet, but I will definitely look her up to get more facts. Thanks again, Phyllis

    Hello Amitji,

    Just wanted to saw I saw Aishwariya and Abhishek on the Oprah Winfrey show on Monday 9-28-09. Both of them looked great, and was very exciting to see one of Bollywood’s famous couple on American Talk Show. I remember when you came for the “Chumma Jhooma” Concert at Giant Stadium in New Jersey in the 90’s and you came on the talk show “Live with Regis and Kathy”. I hope you remember that because they were amazed to know that you had a sold out concert and found that unbelievable!! Anyhow I thought I share that with you. Also you said you were born on Vijayadashmi day so HAPPY B-DAY TO YOU!!

    LOTS OF LOVE,
    MITAL

  691. Renate says:

    Dear Phyllis,

    How wonderful that you spoke German as a child! If we work on it I am sure it will come back - like my deep buried French if I get a chance - so I will try to keep you on your toes.

    You won’t find Alexandra among the poets however, she was a popular singer in the 60s. Her roots were in Lithuania and a lot of her songs deal with the loss of home. She had an amazing voice and would have had a great career if she had not died 1969 in a car crash at the age of 27. Strange coincidence at about the same time and same age as Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin!!!I only wish she could have seen the reunification!

    Moderator ji has been in a good mood recently, so here is a youtube link:

    Omigosh, it’s now past three
    There’s just no way you forgot me.

    Well, the clock has just struck four ~
    Yes, I can wait a little more…

    I guess I’ll eat now that it’s five.
    Won’t give up hope that you’ll arrive.

    Oh gosh, oh gee it’s after six ~
    My little heart’s really in a fix.

    If I go just and take my shower ~
    I’m sure you’ll post at the seventh hour…

    hmmm…now it’s after eight…
    and that’s really gettin’ kinda late.

    But if you make your post by nine ~
    again my heart will be just fine!

    And even if it’s after ten ~
    I’m sure all will be well again.

    If eleven it must be ~
    Well, guess that’s alright with me…

    But after that my day will end and
    so this comment I must send.

    To give the poem that you are due ~
    “one a day - everyday - me to you”…

    You could not ever post too late ~
    Because for you I’ll wait and wait.

    I’ll forever wait and wait.
    Know you’ll never be too late.

    It will NEVER be too late ~
    I will always wait….. and……..wait……………………………………….

  698. DEEPAK KUMAR BHARATI says:

    Today Raj Thackeray in an interview to NDTV (Hindi) praised Amitabh Bachchan as the legendary actor and hailed him the best actor he liked without any doubt except that he has probelm with Amitabh’s involvement in other areas which was not spelled out in the interview.Nevertheless now one understands why in the humidity of mumbai Raj Thackeray wears a half sweater in same fashion as Amitabh did in Trishul and wears the same angry young man look while addressing the public.Thank God at leat Raj Thackeray has some respect for Amitabh even as an actor which I thought had vanished in his political ambitions.Its a good development in a day when India was thrown out from Champions Trophy cricket league in South Africa.It would be nice for the fans to know Amitabh’s reaction to Raj Thackeray’s comments adoring him as an actor.

    You have informed us that you have born on Vijayadashmi day. And, it is understood that you were born on October 11. But, the perplexing thing is that Vijayadashmi does not fall on October 11 in any year between 1939 and 1944. I am confused. Please clarify.
