Jaypee Palace Hotel, Agra October 20, 2009 Tue 10:16 PM
A 7am private jet to Agra for the launch of Max Vijay a scheme initiated by MaxNewYorkLife that has a unique insurance policy, where policies do not expire, where you are not bound by committed premiums, where there is no definition of the amount that needs to be put in every month or year and where you can start a scheme with as minimum as Rs 1000/- and keep adding to it whenever you wish to put something in, and get a secured amount five times the value of what you put in in the unfortunate event of a mishap.
Agra, the land of the Taj Mahal, the land of so much history. Agra the hub of great craftmanship. Of marble in lay work, of handicrafts of international quality and of gifted artisans. I never knew that most of the designer foot wear of the world is manufactured here. The designs are sent in and hand made shoes of the biggest brand names are exported out from here.
But today there is a public gathering announced for the launch of this product and thousands turn up at a vast ground. There is orchestra and music of the gifted Kailash Kher and there is the presentation of the Max Vijay scheme. A well organized event and it all ends up well within schedule and without incident.
Back in the room an interesting evening is spent with some of those attached with the event, in particular the brain behind the campaign for this product, Mr Piyush Pande, the vibrant and respected advertising guru. Modern technology, the future of entertainment, inventions that tend to break new hemispheres are all up for discussion and debate. It is so revealing and educative to hear what some of the great thinkers in the business opine.
There is talk of the presence of the 3G technology invading our lives and that perhaps India would not want to wait for this and jump straight to the 4G technology or its world, whatever that may mean.
There is talk of how Nokia mobile looses its market share to the later inventions in Apple and Palm and BlackBerry and how the facilities available on the latter have outdated those that came with the former. With 3G or 4G the downloading of movies and music would become so predominant on the mobile, whether the movie going audience would diminish, and so on and so on.
I listen with care and little else. My knowledge of all the terminology is a barren desert. No matter what they do with modern inventions, somewhere the basics will always remain the same. Content will remain king. And if we are in the business of manufacturing content then whether there is operational change, or whatever else, we are still in contention. What will they show for its use if there is nothing to show. Best to just be making movies or television, than get sucked into the vortex of how to display and distribute them. Would you not think ??
From one extreme to the other the evening progresses. Surrogate motherhood, BPO’s that manage and attend to calls and inquiries on the subject. Sperm and eggs required for birth are impregnated in Indian woman surrogates at really soft rates and packages of required cells arrive by courier and impregnated into women who bear children for others at a price. Women from Gujarat, the north in Punjab and in Hyderabad being the choice picks. How impersonal and unreal it all sounds, but how very evident it is in reality. Once the child is born, the parents, if they can be called that come over and ‘collect’ their child. Its a delivery service almost, for procuring your own children, when you have no intent of carrying pregnancy on your system for 9 months !! Most of these cases are from overseas, since cost of bearing the child is cheaper here than in their own land. I almost convulse at the thought of such a practice, but it prevails and thrives. The comparisons in cost - $100,000 - $200,000 in the US to $ 10,ooo in India !!
Then the unfortunate tragedies. Husband and wife decide to contribute for a surrogate baby. The process is tied up and started. Surrogate Mother is 4 months into pregnancy, when husband and wife divorce ! What becomes of the child ? It remains in the country after its birth, because of some peculiar law in such conditions which puts the ‘parent’ in the category of one that is adopting, and that is a complicated legal issue. So, what did the child do to deserve this situation.
A pity.
And you wonder as you think back, where we are all heading. What will become of our children and what will they be subjected to in the years to come. How will they cope and adjust, or will they ever.
The only solace that comes to mind is that, our parents thought in similar vein when we were born around them. We have survived or are surviving and so shall I hope our children and theirs.
Tomorrow early morning to Delhi and straight into hectic press activity for the promotion of ‘Aladin’ and then fly back to Mumbai and prepare for BB3. Life is catching up on time and place and matter. A busy schedule is welcomed because it keeps the mind occupied and the body alert. A troubled health however is that nagging fear. But then who said life would be easy and controlled and comfortable. So long as there is life, there is struggle !
Better believe it !
Good night

Hello anybody is there ?
Hi Amitji,
I am a big fan of yours….but its for the first time i a posting any comment in your blog.
My dad adore you like anything and since your blog was started, daily i use to read out your post for him.
eventually i am in love with your writing, and it became addicted to reading out your thoughts on daily basis.
last week i got married and had to move to mumbai….place away from my home town (kanpur).
since a week i was not getting the chance to read out out blog as I was busy with marriage rituals.
but today in mumbai i was again waiting for your blog, but I miss my DAD alot today……marriage is a bliss to life but leaving behind your family is really very bad thing attached with this.
Today i am really missing my dad badly, and thats the reason I am posting my first comment today.
Good Night .
Thank you Amit uncle for coming to Agra, we the people of AGRA are overwhelmed by your presence in Agra.
Thanks once again.
Love you a lot
May god Bless you always
Very big fan of ur writing…more for the way you put things- reminds me of my father’s writing. Also wanted to tell you that the reply that you posted to Mr. Majumdar somehow did not seem from you or it was another side of you that we have not seen on this blog. Am I right ?
earest Amitji,
How are you doing and how is ur health? I read and comment ur blog on daily basis. Will revert back to you after reading today’s blog.
Also I want to acknowledge my near&dear FmXt - Manish P, Shankar, Archana, Mousumi ,Aishwarya, Manoj Kumar Ojha, Vijaya, Sanjith, Mukul Bunglore, Valorie Adams, Abhaya, Renate, Sharmila, Daisy M, Naresh Bhatt, Vikas, Jasmine Jaywant, Mrs G.A.

Respected Amitji,
Your views on surrogate motherhood, 3G technology made interesting reading.
Today’s world is a materialistic and callous one. Very little place for emotions and feelings Amitji.
Please teke care of your health and reduce the pace at which you work.
Regards
Shubha

Glad to hear you’re as tech-challenged as I am
I can’t for the life of me understand all that jargon either. I have no patience with technology - my idea of ‘fixing’ any piece of machinery is kicking it really hard and hoping for the best (it HAS actually worked on a couple of occassions).
Peace,

technology kya hey
change hoti rahegi
kuchh naya kuchh purana
mix kar lo aur kuchh naya banta hey

Almost everything on this post sounds like a foreign language to me. I have no knowledge about insurance, technology, or surrogate mother situations. I agree that the content will always be more important than the technology. I would just be concerned with the making of the movies and TV shows leaving all else for others to worry about. I’m still excited about the fact that I will see the world premiere of ‘Aladin’ on an old fashioned large screen at the Paris Theater.
I’m happy that the insurance event turned out so well with the great music of Kailash Kher who I got to see this summer perform in Prospect Park. I did visit Agra and didn’t know about the manufacture of designer footwear. I’m not surprised about the thousands that turned up.
Have a good and safe flight to Delhi for the press activity and an enjoyable flight back to Mumbai. I’m sure your precarious health situation has us all worried also. I hope your days of struggles are minimal.
My first day back at work and a supervisor presence has delayed this comment already.
Love,
Rochelle
wait….
Respected Amitabh Ji,
Namaste.

My two cents on wanting to have a baby via Surrogate mothers in a nation where it costs less. You ahve to also realize how desparate those parents will be that they are askign someone else to carry their child and not being able to afford to go through thsi procedure in their own country. I don’t know what is teh percentage of people doing this, how many of them are driven emotionally vs practically, but it is similar to deciding on having a heart surgery in India since it will cost less or more affordable..
Anyways, people can perceive things differently .. this is what I see
take care,
Zita

Amit Ji, BB3 rocks only because of you!! Not just the millions of viewers watching the show on TV, but also the inmates of the house on BB3 eagerly wait for Friday to come so that they can interact with you…
Disappear Disappear!!! Kya andaaz tha sir aapka!!! Thanks to you, Tanaaz has become popular now…
We watch BB3 only because YOU are the host of the show…
One last thing. Please watch the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhsL3EDG3Tg . This piece shows the japanese dancing to the tune of ‘Kajra Re’. I am sure you will love it…Good night…
My dearest Amithji,
How are you?
An early post today! Hope I am atleast within 100.
Yes, surrogate mother is both a boon as well as curse. It will turn out a curse when , as you said, the “parents” divorce before the child birth!
Ofcourse, for the childless couples , who badly want children, whom they can call half their own, for these people it is such a boon.
Loved the photos of the lunch you had with the FmXt. I wished I too was there in that picture!
So , finally the girls are slowly started bitching about Claudia. Wonder who will go this week. This krk keeps saying “my fans, my fans” wonder who are his fans?
The weather has started to become pleasent at night here in mumbai.
Would love to see you in light coloured suits , when you are meeting the housemates in BB3.
Please take care,
love you to death,
with regards,
kalpana kakade

Hi,
After 50 days I m back to England, and back to your blog. I was back in Orissa and had a nice time with my daughter. As I ve been living in this country for last two years and work in a Gender Studies Centre, I often come across these issues of surrogating mothers and feel ashamed to know that women in my country are falling prey to these western parents who have no time to bear their own children. They consider the child bearing woman just as nothing more than a service provider.I dont know whether we are progressing or slipping back.
Have a good sleep, with love and wishes,
Hiranmayee

Dear Amitji,
Your post today also is so touching & thought provoking about surrogate mothers. Indeed, there was such a case recently of a child who for no fault of his was entangled into an ugly legal mess because his parents got divorced while his surrogate mother was in the 5th month of pregnancy. Really, all this & more makes you wonder & worry and pray for your children and then their children. Hope that our next generations will aways be able to offer the security comfort and undying love that we got from our parents and which we have now passed on to our kids.
Hope & pray that you are feeling better now.
Regards

I LOVE YOU DEAR ~
bye dear…sleep well…g’nit…sveeeeet dreams…miss me …….. hehe
Dearest Mr Bachchan
You make me long even more to “see the Taj Mahal before I die”…. and the glories of Agra too.
And when you casually slip in the fact that it is manufacturing capital of the universe for designer shoes … while I am a female with a pulse I SHALL visit Agra!
But while you bask in Agra’s sunny radiance…. here Winter has struck London. It’s official!
I can tell because my Buffy cat has just opened her Igloo!
Yes, she has her very own little house, which is a plush basket shaped exactly like an Igloo where she can sit inside all warm and cosy and look out through a small opening.
In summer she tramples the basket down with her paws until the dome collapses and the bed is a little nest shape, and she sleeps in the hollow during the warm afternoons.
But when it gets really cold she burrows away until she has opened up the hole, pushes her way inside until the roof pops up, and then she snuggles - well, snugly - inside.
I know I am biased, and always claiming ‘my cat is a genius’, but I DO think that is rather clever!
Anyway, she opened up the Igloo for the first time this morning - so winter has begun.
And I’m sure UK members of EF will agree with me that it’s feeling decidedly parky.
GROUP HUG!! Just like March of the Penguins! And you, dearest Mr Bachchan, are extremely welcome to add your body heat to our huddle
With warmest toastiest love, Daisy
Hi to my friends:
Manishbhai P, Srinivas, Sanjith, S Kh, Tehreem and Archana.
Have a good evening all of you.

Dear jasmine mam, sanjit and all EF who have have been kind enough to notice my pleas, i agree and appreciate that on this virtual platform its very difficult to trust , to explain a little about my need… i along with my husband are caught a very vicious debt trap out of which inspite of working extremely hard and honestly repaying we are unable to get out. its been 10 long years in which we have lost everything we had including our dignity as our debtors hound us mercilessly,we would only like to repay people so that they stop hounding us and there is one day in my life when i do not owe anyone anything and can sit in my house without dreading every phone call and visitor.
My plea was to amitabh ji as i thought he is the only guy who can help without disturbing his own financial status. i did not expect such an overwhelming response as this ,that is the reason i sent a request to amitabh sir.
i have a young son whose future im always worried about as we have nothing towards savings left with us for his future. we are both working and do not want to sit idle. i have spoken to shankar ji and would appreciate of someone helped us relocate to another city/country wher we can make a fresh beginning in life and maybe save some money and repay people at a later date.
I have good communication skills and would be good in any job involving pr skills , my professional background is of banking/finance at middle management level. meanwhile i want to repay few people who are really troubling us hence the request for financial help
lastly its not a matter of living.. I am living but a question of living with dignity and self respect which i have been stripped off
regards
1. manish #285
i vanish because some days are so bad that i have other pressing matters to attend to….like handle people who we owe money to…its just that i am fed up of life… i cannot take the tension of facing a debtor … of having to listen to the shit people talk… i have not been brought up that way… now its either a miracle has to happen or one day ill just give up…
AngelLlllLlllL……..Disappear!!!
only for now..
aab mey ja rahi ho…… bye bye TC ..
rest well or jaagne ki jarurat nahi hey soo jaiye ga ~
muhhha:D
Yes, sadly isn’t that the truth! Life is indeed a battlefield to be conquered!! But please, a little less of the complacency about your health Mr. Bachchan. We have to assume some responsibility for our well being. It would not be easy to fulfil all these duties if you are below par and we would hate for that to happen! Okay, you mentioned the word ‘nagging’ and so it began, even so please do be mindful of your own instincts and take care of yourself.
I envy you being in Agra, it was my maternal grandfathers birthplace and I’ve always loved the look of it and now of course you mention shoes which adds to my determination to visit, aside from the Taj itself.
I am inclined to agree as far as mobile phone technology is concerned - it is someone else’s quarter; I am content with the basics. I do however have plenty of opinions on the surrogacy issue!! Just a short note for now, I am in the middle of writing various letters but will return as soon as possible, if not certainly first thing in the morning. This flu medication makes me drowsy earlier!
Safe journey to Delhi in the morning and good luck for the ‘Aladin’ promotions too, you must be weary of the press involvement at this stage.
Goodnight dearest Mr. Bachchan, sweet dreams and I hope you rest well..
All my love,
Jasmine

lovely song only for you Dear BIG B…..pls keep writing!!!
About the surrogate mother, wonder why government does not restrict this practice by passing a law of some sort. I know it is very difficult to adopt a child from India and that is why so many Americans prefer to go to China and the Central America.
Then there are those who go over to India for treatment since it is less expensive there. Where do we draw a line? There are people who pick and choose the sex of the child, artificial insemination, fertility clinics. It is a daunting task , as the government cannot always be the watch dog . It is something that has to come from self realization. People have to be more accountable and reckon that there are rules and abide by them .Human race is supposed to be the most evolved one, but the decisions made by some is no less than animals.
Good Night Sir.

Dear Sir,
I also just dont understand 3G n 4G n all…my kids r tech savvy and keep teaching me.Yesterday my 10 year old taught me how to send voice recordings on sms …he had sent me one but I didnt know how to open it….this new generation is just amazing when it comes to technology…..
I visited Agra 2 moths ago and came back loaded with the crafts….they are so beautiful….
Surrogate motherhood is something I dont understand at all…it was okay when there was a dire need due to medical reasons but now its becoming unethical….
I would like to check out on the new insurance company-looks interesting…Is there a website?
Thanks n Regards,
anamika
Amitji,
Seems like winter has arrived in the UK, woke up today with a stiff neck and signs of cold/flu on its way..I hate this time of the year when the day starts to getting dark earlier and cold autumn breeze..
Glad you had a great time today, with the Insurance company, their policy seems really good, you get what you put into it and you can add to it if and when you want..How I wish that was launched here, might transfer mine to that company:).
Hope you have a safe journey to Dehli in the morning, the Aladdin promos really do promise an awesome funfilled movie..looking forward to it…
All the best always
Sleep well…you are absolutely write a busy lifestyle keeps the mind and body occupied..just people dont be over worked. dont want you to fall ill..

Sir,
What’s your favourate dialoge?
So happy you have arrived safely
WHERE IS MY “YELLOW” line??
Amitji,
Each and every post of your is such an eye opner… really what would happen to the children.. ..heart breakening to even think of it. i think instead desperate couples should adopt a child from India, at least that way if they divorce, the child gets to stay with one parent.. better than not having either one of them.
I have come up with an idea, do okay it for me though, I am going to print out each and every entry of yours, and make a binder of it… only if its fine with you.
Travel safely, take care of your health though between your flights!!!
Love and Peace
Bena
Dear Mr Bachchan
Having re-read your section on surrogacy, and a few of the comments on the subject are appearing, I had to say something.
Whatever anyone may feel about the ethics of surrogacy, I think it is very wrong to characterise the would-be parents as women who have ‘no intent of carrying pregnancy’. Or as some of the comments suggest, ‘Western women who are too busy or lazy to bear a child’.
I believe that in the vast majority of cases quite the opposite is true. These are women who had EVERY intention, desire, and intense longing to bear a child, but found fertility eluded them and their partner. They suffer greatly from this inability to achieve pregnancy and a family through natural means, and seek surrogacy as a desperate and emotional measure, NOT as some easy short cut in which you pay another women to ‘do the hard bit’.
People on this Blog are constantly extolling the joys of having children, and grandchildren. Surely you could extend just a little sympathy to the women who are seeking this blissful state of parenthood, even if you strongly disapprove of the method of surrogacy and feel - with good reason I am sure - that it is unethical.
With love and female indignation, Daisy
hallo sir namaste,you are always an inspiration for me and all others.i take strength from your life as from my openion you are the most hardworking person as i know.sir we all love you.take care of your health.g,nit
love you
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
You are suprised with the technologies these days on everything !
Yes , we will have soon “engineered kids” , you order how you like them
to be-blonde, smart, beautiful, tall, so on and on !
The question is -how you feel , can you kiss that child with the true love ?
I don’t know !!!!
About shoes in India, yes they are very good ! I ordered from my self
from there, chapal (because they are made from leather entirely !)
and I think is the only kind I can afford from there !!!! I’m sure the designer price start from 4 figures.
Nice you have so many things to keep you occupied and away from other
unpleasant issues.
I’m so excited , October 30 is just around the corner !
(I like your hat in Aladin, more precise, how you wear it !!!)
Love,
e.t.
Good evening sirji
Hope this find you in your best conditions.
Glad to read that your day was good,
A nother important and interesting post,
it is an important matter which not clear for many, and the clearance of your thoughts make it very easy to reach every one, I think its a begin for reaching an end for this odd practices, and one can say its against any law or religion…and the question you put is very good and summerised the problem, what this child commited to deserve this treatment and future??
Who are not serious in resposability of having a child, just buy this by money, are those really a parents..catastrophic practices
————-
Good for anyone to think that life is a continous struggle, and this if we like that or dislike, its a fact, and better believe it ! ….its great to love your work,
Wish you very good health inspite of your heavy and crowded coming days,
and for tomorrow a very good and successful work
have a peaceful sleep and a safe comfortable travel, Ameen
my love and prayers
God bless you

PS And consider where this argument takes us… if it is ethically wrong for one woman to help another woman to create life through pregnancy… where does that leave, say, the case of organ donation where one living person gives up part of their body in order to help another human prolong their life? Clearly these matters have to be considered with immense care, and all moral and ethical standards upheld, but is a woman seeking another woman to undergo a pregnancy on her behalf committing more of a ’sin’ than a man seeking a transplant? The desire to create life, to prolong life, is a very powerful human force… and needs to be handled with care.
With love from Daisy
IF life was tht simple we would not have appreciated it, wouldn’t we?
Sometimes life sucks but we still love it
For most people, insurance is a necessary aspect of life. It is the safety net that protects
one from a crushing fall or an imminent disappointment during hard times.
Nothing is worse than an unforeseen natural or man-made disaster that unfortunately removes earnings capacity or assets from you or your business. With the large portfolio of insurance options available sometimes it seems that we are trying to “over-insure” ourselves.
Surrogacy seems to be the other kind of insurance plan that a poor mother chooses for her children to promise a better future for them. There are all sorts of questions popping in my head. Surrogacy is it a sacrifice or a tragedy. I would like to go with the latter. It has become a penny pinching business now. There is lots of money to be made for the agencies, the lawyers, the doctors and the surrogates. Aren’t we supposed to raise the kids that we give birth to? What about all of the lies told to the kids and their families about who they are? What about the brothers and sisters, the kids the mother didn’t give away in exchange for money?
Somewhere between the narcissistic, selfish or desperate need for a child and the desire to make a buck, everyone else’s needs and wants are put before the kids needs.
Enjoy your stay in Agra

#84 Nidhi,
Sorry to hear the bad phase of life that you are going through ! Life is struggle and we have to struggle whatever is written in our fate with no other option…
Can I ask you a simple question: Whats the purpose of having created so much of debt when we can be self content with small things? What made you to be debtor for which people are hounding on u crazily on daily basis? There are so many people n this world where they live and survive with whatever we have. Why do we have to go after DEBT, For sure we know if we cant repay it?
Can u please clarify not only my but my near&dear FmXt doubts that they have? I can understand that you spoke to Shankbhai which is good and gives some confidence level through him but everyone needs transparancy… Pl clarify if you want to otherwise you can always ignore our msge…
What do you say my near&dear FmXt - Manish P, Shankar, Archana, Mousumi ,Aishwarya, Manoj Kumar Ojha, Vijaya, Sanjith, Mukul Bunglore, Valorie Adams, Abhaya, Renate, Sharmila, Daisy M, Naresh Bhatt, Vikas, Jasmine Jaywant, Mrs G.A.

Actually 3G technology was also introduced by Nokia, the network part of Nokia. Since around 2 years back, Nokia had two units, mobiles and networks. Then, Nokia Networks and Siemens network merged together to form a separate company Nokia Siemens Network(NSN). Nokia company is now only nokia mobiles.
Then, if I am correct, Samsung introduced WiMax which is supposed to be better than 3G network. I am not sure, if NSN is really working on 4G or not. But I guess WiMax should be the next buzz word.
Mr. Bachan, very busy schedule. Just take care of your health, good sleep is must. Agra, Delhi reminding me of my country. Anyway take care and I will see you on BigBoss.
To Shankar #53 day 546, whatever you decide with EF, I am with you. I would like to help (if it is genuine) Hope everything will be ok with Nidhi #38.
We are all one big family. Please investigate everything. Love you my EF

Amitji, glad you are in Agra, had a wonderful evening with some stimulating company and interesting conversation, and the launch of Max Viajay went well. Great news.
Re: the strides technology has made and continues to make at almost frightening speed — I am with you on this one. I long for the simplicity of days gone by. Progress is great, and technology is wonderful, but sometimes I feel overwhelmed by it, as if I’m drowning in it.
You are right when you say, “No matter what they do with modern inventions, somewhere the basics will always remain the same. Content will remain king.”
Amen.
Love and regards,

The surrogate mother system is only for those couples who are unable to have their own child.Any misuse of this system can prove to be disastrous. I have my own doubts whether a child born out of such arrangement would get love and affection of parents which a normal child gets. .There can be exceptions however.
The Max Newyork Life is a recent entrant in field of Insurance after the Insurance sector was thrown open for Foreign Direct Investment. Many bloggers here would like to know whether the investment in said company is cent percent secure. Whether the US Govt guarantees repayments by Maxlife?
Mumbai -Agra-Delhi-Mumbai , a hectic schedule. Good it keeps you busy and gives you satisfaction.
One should remain busy and active till the health permits.It increases the longevity.
The Bigg Boss show is having a large viewership and any new entrants in the house should be carefully selected. I again recommend Shehnaz Treasurywala–young bubbly girl –A MODEL AND A BUDDING ACTOR—- old and wise enough to keep distance from prying eyes.
Good night

Interesting writing on renting the womb. When I first heard about this, I thought the same way but when I saw one of my friend go through the physical and mental pain of not able to carry a baby to full term numerous times and opt for this renting of the womb… I now don’t think this to be as bad. But like every medical science advancement, this also has pros and cons..
Please take care of your health.
Hello Amitabhji and Jayaji,
Waiting to see Aladin in the old fashion way in theater.
Good Luck for your promo of Aladin.
Take care,
D.B from USA
Daisy m #98: you have verbalized exactly what I was thinking about the surrogacy issue. These are women who are unable to have children, but do not want to miss out on the joys of motherhood. We should pause and think of what they go through before being judgemental and labeling them as lazy etc. I applaud them. Yes, it raises legal/ethical/moral issues, but getting all the facts before condemning anything — or anyone — outright is usually a good idea.
Jasmine J
Dear Amitji,
Another educative post. The West is exploiting India for their selfish interests,
not fair the plight of the wanted unwanted babies!!!Need to change the laws in India.
The flexible savings insurance scheme sounds good.
It’s nice to be busy and active, but please don’t over do it. Take care.
Good night and God Bless
Love and Best wishes

Dear Amitji
I read all about Max Vijay and the investment deal. Looks interesting! I also read your press statements wherein all kinds of questions were posed.
Your busy schedules are indeed very taxing, your continous connectivity no matter where u r, no matter if ur unwell makes us all feel selfish. You can be sure that none of us would like to tax u in any way. For us, your health and peace is far more important.
Impregnation and child left alone after the parents get divorced is so well said..yes it is a pity to go through all this process and the emotional chords of any person is really taken to toll!…
By the way, i do wish to appeal on behalf of Mrs Nidhi Soni who has geniune problems and i spoke to her at length from Abu Dhabi. FmXt’s have offered help in many ways but really i have no clue how to figure this out interms of reaching out to her. I was very concerned when she was driven to the extent of ending her life with her family. What is wrong with the helpless 15 year old Boy of hers? i just can’t stand this and therefore i went through this medium to help her out. All of us will join to offer her help. We request that reaching out to ones geniune problem , sorting it out will further show the world that through this blog, so many things can be achieved.
Some EF’s also have doubts which is of course correct on their part. I have shared extensive mails with Mrs Nidhi and also twice over phone. I can feel the pain in her and understand the predicament. Dear FmXt’s..to clear ur doubts, i would request you to mail her and discuss with her.Lets open up and spare something for her.
I sincerely appreciate all those who have readily offered help but we must ensure it is properly done and not to entangle ourselves into difficulty. The pros and cons can be discussed.
Luv and Regards

Hey Amitji…..
After reading ur post today and ur views about surrogacy….i do understand what ur attitude is towards this practise
but somehow i feel surrogacy is not only for the sake of money or i dont feel that foriengners do not want to go through the pain of 9 months pregnancy 
though i do feel they can adopt a child anytime instead of going for surrogacy ….but most of the people feel that Genes play important role in bringing up a child…..they want their children to be like them…..thats why they might be accepting the option of surrogacy …..and if everything goes well its must be a great support for the surrogate mother’s family if she comes from a poor background
Though sometimes i have heard in some places of our country Surroagacy is taking place like a business , unfortuantely
some people do it for money
U are absolutely right that what that surrogate child has done to bear the pain
Every coin has 2 sides after all
Feel sorry for the children who suffer in such situation
These are all the consequences of the FAST Development and growth of the country & science …….
We can only wish that those children do not suffer & get what they deserve ; a nice family and a good future
take care, hope u are feeling better now….
Lots nlots n lots of Love

Dear Amitji,
great to know that maxVijay went all per schedule and without any incident. Then the thoughts of 3G and 4G and new genreation of technology- of course, my knowledege is in its infancy and all I do is use cell phone and internet!!! my kids are more knowledgable and into computers, play station games and so forth.
Your thoughts and the mentions about surrogate mother and its legality is very touching and also thought provoking- it is better that such practices are done in limitation and with proper plan down the road!
Hope your busy schedule lets you get some sleep also.
love

Record rise in care applications
June saw the highest number of care applications for a single month
There has been a record rise in applications to take children into care in England.
Cafcass, which represents children in the family courts in England, says the number of cases has gone up by almost a half in the past year.
The rise is being attributed in part to criticism over the Baby Peter case, making officials less willing to leave children at home in borderline cases.
Council leaders have warned the care system is under “massive strain.”
Cafcass believes some social workers have lost confidence in their own professional judgments and are referring more cases because they fear making a mistake.
The three months to September saw an increase in care applications to England’s courts of 688 cases, a 47% rise. The figure for June was the highest ever recorded for a single month.
‘Gear up’
Anthony Douglas, Cafcass chief executive, said: “Whilst the rise in applications is good news for children who need protection, the child care system as a whole will need to gear up to be able to cope with and support these much higher volumes.
“Rises in applications to courts directly follows on from recent steep rises in child protection referrals to local authorities.
The system is under massive strain - it was never designed to deal with such a big increase in cases in such a short space of time
Shireen Ritchie
LGA
“This has been partly caused by some agencies referring lower level concerns in case they make a mistake by under-reacting. Agencies must regain confidence in their own professional judgments and assessments.”
He added: “Financial pressures in many agencies mean that resources are being driven into funding children with the highest levels of need and protection.
“This risks a reduction in the very family support and therapeutic services a much larger group of children and families need to prevent the cycle of neglect recurring.”
‘Unsustainable’
Shireen Ritchie, chairman of the LGA’s children and young people board, said some councils were already diverting funds into the care system from other parts of children’s services and warned this could rapidly become “unsustainable”.
She said: “The system which looks after children in care is under massive strain - it was never designed to deal with such a big increase in cases in such a short space of time.
“There is absolutely no question of money being a factor in deciding how a vulnerable child is cared for, but there is clearly a cost to be paid if it means a reduction in the help and support councils can offer to other families.”
She said that wherever a child is identified as being in danger, councils and the courts will take them out of the family home if that is the best way of protecting them.
She added: “There have been well-publicised arguments about whether social services should step in sooner and more frequently where children are thought to be at risk.
“If it is decided that, as a nation, we must play a bigger role in how families raise their children there will have to be a debate about how to fund and manage a system which can do this properly.”
Haringey Council was severely criticised following the death, after sustained abuse, of 17-month-old Baby P in August 2007.
This is waht happens when society is breaking up……..
Hey Mr B!
Speaking of the Taj, you reminded me of my trip to India 4years ago, the Taj was so magnificent and beautiful.That was my most exciting holiday ever, though it would have been even better if I had met you. I did manage to catch a glimpse of your home though. Back then I was only in grade 8 now I’m in Matric, preparing for final exams, boy does time fly! Would love to have your blessings for my matric finals.
P.S : hopefullx next time I come 2 India I might be lucky enough to meet my HERO- You
Take care, sweet dreams
Lotsa love, Yerishna
Good Evening Sir
We liked the Jaypee Palace Hotel in Agra when we visited in December 2008.
This Max Vijay Insurance policy does sound like a good product. It’s good when everything goes to plan especially when so many variables and people are involved. I’m glad you got a chance to go back in good time and hopefully got a chance to relax and enjoy the lively discussions on new developments and technology. I agree that Content is king and without good content they would not have anything to push through the cybernet.
You have raised a thought provoking issue on surrogacy and I for one think it is sad to see this offered as a commercial service based on the principles of supply and demand only.
Good Luck with the Aladin promo event in Delhi. Looking forward to more news on this.
It is the struggles and challenges that we go through in life that gives us the experiences to makes us better people, I hope.
With Warm Regards
Rajesh
Dear Amit Sir,
Very nice to see your post of day 547.
I am a resident of Agra in civil lines…My father work here in Civil Court itself. I Happened to see a lot of hoardings and other promotional stuff of this event in Targhar Field,Agra…I was very excited to watch the event but because of an urgent assignment in my college(Dayalbagh Instt), I could not show up….I also heard that you are coming with Mr. Kailash Kher….I also wanted to meet him…though I have already met him in person when he came for Taj Mahotsav 2007…I wanted to meet you this time because it is so rare that a gem like you visit this town and if at all you are too busy…i read that you are staying in Jaypee Palace…You will be surprized to know but I have seen the suite that u r in…that wud be the only presidential suite in Jaypee if I am not wrong….I did a small project for Jaypee hotel wherein through Jaypee’s VP(operations) Mr. Rajiv Narain I got to see this room..his people told me that whenever Mr. Bachchan comes to our hotel he likes to be in this room…to all the people that read this post i must tell you that this room is awesome specially the bed…rightt Sir ??
Sir I had some plans of coming to Jaypee today and meeting you up but i just read that you are flying from here tomorrow itself…I am very sad that I wont be able to meet u this time…but I am sure I will meet u some day or the other…I hope your health remains good and I wish u luck for Aladin’s promotion Sir…
Good Night

Dear Sanjith and Srinivas
Mrs Nidhi Soni has posted her problem on DAY 546, for more details, we have to write to her
After reading your thoughts, I realize that it just compliments mine, when anyone complaints that their children never listen to them, I always tell them, if they did human kind never would have progressed from caves or may be before. Imagine, the man who first cooked food, probably society would have feared his powers or shunned him by taunting that he is eating cooked food. I remember my Nani telling us, we should not eat the chapati’s cooked straight on Gas as it leads to Gas in stomach, and then there was fear that food cooked in pressure cooker looses its nutrients. I feel may be a child would never learn to walk if he listened to his mom all the time. They call it generation gap and I call it the winds of change. So much evil takes place, and its not new, it has always been there and will always be there till the ends of time. Probably it exists so that those who can will learn to appreciate the good that co-exists with it. We have an innate fear of new and something which we can not comprehend fully, but then some of us approach it cautiously and explore it from each extremes and decide that we can use it for both evil and good purpose…as far as we have seen , we have ended up using everything humans have discovered for greater good although a small percentage has also gone to the more destructive usage too.
Respected Sir,
2day i have come to know with my brothers reagaring ur web side,i have read ur daily rutin momental, i like this.its realy wonderfull inspration for all kind of persons from you. i hv no words for this.
This is realy graet job……………….. i hv ever seen……….

Dear Mr. AB,
I liked the post – it is quite thought provoking. Technology has captured our lives. Since consumer wants “more” packaged in lesser space, newer ways are being looked at. This is truly great! A single handheld machine with all packaging for camera, phone, internet, audio, video, lots of memory and what not AND it fits into a pocket! Amazing what technology continues to do for us. One needs to be careful to not surrender to it.
In US, fertility treatments are very expensive; you ought to have a fortune. What will you have when you have a child and you have paid all costs? Nothing! So as long as both sides are benefited and child is well taken care of and no legal issues – this is a boon.
One may look at it as “business” of delivering a child, but life is personal and real. Unfortunate ones that struggle every single day choose this middle path. And when you have a child, you do want to provide them the best in the world. We must be thankful to the advancements in medical field that has in a way conquered the nature and also to the ways we can reach out to bring hope and happiness in families.
Like your parting thought – no one said life is easy. It’s a puzzle; not all pieces fit and not all match.
Love
Veena
There are far more greater sins and moral degradation than surrogacy.
What about abortion? I do not include rape victims here…
What about deserting newly born child?
what about forcing child to beg?
what about child labor?
what about marring off underage girls for money?
I always wondered that if there never ever any pleasure, would have involved in the baby making process and only the pain… how many of us would have opted to become parents?
At the risk of sounding curmudgeonly and shaking a virtual finger at you, I have something to say about your view of surrogacy for those faced with fertility issues.
It really and truly takes someone who has been through the extremely hellish process that is dealing with fertility issues to understand the anguish, hopelessness and feelings of personal loss that women and men seeking a child are subjected to. As a veteran of that process, let me assure you that even my own beloved mother did not understand my pain during those excruciating years. There is no way she can understand (though she tried hard to see things through my eyes and heart)… just as I do not expect you or Kutty, Madan or Puri to understand unless they are face to face with the issue of thier own infertility.
Ofcourse it follows that desperate people seeking a biological child will follow through any avenue allowed by modern science and where legal issues are not insurmountable. Surrogacy is just one such avenue. Does it make someone less of a mother because she did not carry her child in her own womb? Is seeking an affordable surrogate a crime for middle class person? Do middle class people have no right to pursue that course and pay less for the procedure if the “birth” mother (and i use this term loosely) is being also benefited? Is the child going to be less loved because it was not nourished by its nurturing mother’s placenta?
I think to color the entire issue in broad strokes with a black paint is wrong and is insensitive to those who struggle with fertility issues.
i hear so often… oh why dont they just adopt! yes, that is certainly an option but hearts and minds must come to terms with that eventuality when all other options are useless. Some decide to adopt and some cannot. Does it mean that the ones who decide not to adopt are incapable of loving a/thier child? ofcourse not! So why would I blacktar the issue of a possible surrogacy without considering that there are many shades of grey to that decision… just as there are so many in life.
Yes, i do agree with you that laws need to be carefully examined to allow for all circumstances to be covered before the child is even concieved. In that and in adoption laws, India needs a huge wake up call. However to denigrate the avenue of surrogacy as lacking in human values of parental love and affection is wrong. For some of us, it is the only way out.
Such sadness in this world.
And such selfishness. It would appear that the thirst for more does not end in the collection of objects. We have made our children into objects that can be bought for a price, terminated for another and in the end all we have is another example of how our world operates.
No doubt there are homes empty of childish laughter and there is a sadness connected to real loss.
What is the real intent of our hearts I have to ask.
Dearest & beloved Mr. Bachchan,
I am really ignorant about insurance companies and their policies…
But I am glad that the launch for Max Vijay went well, and that you had a wonderful day in the city of the beautiful Taj Mahal. I wish I would visit this city one day and see this marvelous construction.
It is indeed very interesting to be in company of knowledgeable and skillful people and to indulge in a kind of educative and informative conversation with them. Sure, content matters more and, as you say, it is always better to stick to that area and field in which one excels. It is always great to know about other things for the sake of knowing and knowledge, but there is no doubt that this knowledge helps us in excelling more in our fields in one way or another.
I would tend to think that everything in life has its many faces and sides. Like this issue of a surrogate mother. It might appear to be something that’s completely unethical, and I would go and condemn scientific developments that made this process possible, I would condemn this mother that carries a child and then goes to sell it for an mount of money, and I would condemn this woman who has no intention to carry a child and who would go and deal with a human being as a commodity to be sold and procured. But in adopting these very conservative views, I would be ignoring other humanitarian issues, because there are those who are childless and can’t have their own babies for some reason or another and maybe that’s the possible way for them to have a child of their own. It is a bless then that science has made it possible and has given them a chance to be a father and a mother.
There are also those who live a very meager and poor life and they have no other option but to sell their own children to be able to feed themselves. I can’t reject and condemn this issue of a surrogate mother wholly then, but I would rather condemn these conditions and circumstances that have forced these people to perform these deeds.
Have an enjoyable and safe journey to Delhi tomorrow,
And please take very good care of yourself…
With my endless love…

HI, How are you?
About surrogate motherhood I think it is bliss for women who could not able to give birth to child for some or other reason.
And indeed it is very pity that some women have no intent of carrying pregnancy cause they don’t want to bear the child, and it is very pity if the parents divorce before the childbirth.
So long as there is life , there is struggle! very true.
with pure love……..with pure heart……..

“because at the traffic signal you get accosted by the poor and those that beg in the most deplorable conditions.’
I reference this from yesterday as I wasn’t able to respond at the time. You should watch if you can a recent Tamil film called Naan Kadavul (I am God) which is really one of the very singular films I have ever sense and one which gets to the heart of your observation here. I can do no better here in terms of elaboration than to reference two very fine pieces on the film:
http://qalandari.blogspot.com/2009/09/naan-kadavul-tamil-2009.html
http://satyamshot.wordpress.com/2009/10/19/thoughts-on-naan-kadavul/
Part of my own response to these pieces:
“It is also of course a tale of the divine and the violence provoked when one claims to have direct ‘access’ to the divine in any which way. whether it’s the father who abandons his son based on a prophecy or the son who is literally ‘god’. So on and so forth. There is always this violence present when one claims this sort of access because ‘God’ can then always be in effect on one’s side and hence always countenance one’s greatest excesses. Not coincidentally the ‘kinder soul’ in that whole begging ring has set up his deformed spectacles permanently in front of a temple. On that path to the ‘godly’ one encounters deformity and depravity and of course within that temple eventually resides the ‘destroyer’. and yet it is ultimately disturbing because as you’ve suggested ‘violence’ here is affirmed and certainly ‘theorized’ as that which is crucial to the cycle of being and becoming.”

May God bless your son and your family with love, health and prosperity.Amen!
Dearest Mr. Bachchan:
I’m with you on the condemnation of surrogate motherhood (to a certain extent I can understand if the intent is genuine), but this has almost become like a business. Being a parent (my kids are 4 and 1 respectively) it bothers me to no extent when kids are tortured (I won’t use the other terms). Poor innocent beings, just entering the world, and this is what the have to face. I was extremely disturbed with the depiction of child abuse in movies like page 3, slumdog Mill. (a movie I absolutely hated and can never understand why people liked it), etc. If you ever see the Afghan movie “The Kite Runner” (a really good flick, expect for the abuse part of little children), you may share my feelings as well.
Anyways, sorry for going off on a rant here :-). I’m a great hindi movie buff and remember all those days when as kids we used to emulate your walking, dancing and talking styles; your mannerims, etc. When Mard had released (during the Diwali season), my friends and I wrote “Mard” with ball-point pen on our chests :-). Sir, you have had a tremendous impact on us while growing up and we wish you continue to be there for us for decades to come.
-Vikas.
Hello sir…

Surrogate motherhood offers the joy of having children to many many people. The women who offer to be surrogates (for whatever the reason may be) do a wonderful thing for many people — there are tons of people who are in debt to the surrogate for the rest of their life. The science has allowed this miracle to take place.
Agreed, this is relatively new and there are legal aspects that need to be worked out. The cost is phenomenal in other countries - but that is not the only reason why people come to India. There is a perception that surrogates in india are more responsible. You want the person to be responsible if they are carrying precious cargo for you !
THIS IS SO AWESOME…. I couldn’t resist sharing with you.
Written By Regina Brett, the columnist
“To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written.
1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. “Agree to disagree”.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a “secret”, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.
16 Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take “no” for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
24. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ”In five years, will this matter?”.
26. Always choose life.
27. Forgive everyone everything.
28. What other people think of you is none of your business.
29. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
30. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
31. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
32. Believe in miracles.
33. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
34 Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
35. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
36. Your children get only one childhood.
37. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
38. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
39. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.
40. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
41. The best is yet to come.
42. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
43. Yield.
44. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.
A very surprising story of surrogate motherhood!! Seriously this is shocking!! and especially when the foreign couple decide to separate, that is the end of the child about to be born.
Good Luck with all your new ventures and please take care.
Pranams to you, your family and all the EF.

Surrogate trade! yes sure makes us wonder which way the world is moving towards. Unfortunately the dealers also include gay male couples. Something I can never come to terms with. I feel sorry for that child when he/she grows up to face the reality. How sad!!
Hi Mr Bachchan,

I DONT CARE HOWOR WHERE…I WANT TO BE A MOTHER…..AND MY HUBBY WANTS TO BE A FATHER….IT DOESNT MEEN THAT I AM BUYING MY CHILD…..
ITS OUR SPERM AND EGGS,SO ITS OUR CHILD….IF THE SURROGATE MOTHER CAN HELP US BRING OUR CHILD INTO THIS WORLD I WOULD DO ENYTHING SHE WILL ASK ME ….ENYTHING JUST TO HOLD MY CHILD IN MY ARMS….
THEY WANT MONEY FOR THAT…I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH BUT THEY DO AS ALL OF THEM ALL AROUND THE WORLD..WHERE ITS DONE….
I AM SO UPSET THAT YOU SAY IT LIKE THIS….
I DONT KNOW WHY YOU TALK LIKE THIS…..ITS NOT AT ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!!
ITS ABOUT HAVEING YOUR CHILD IN ENY WAY YOU CAN!!!
MAYBE YOU HEARD ABOUT THAT HUSBAND AND WIFE WHO GOT DIVORCED WHEN THE SURROGATE MOTHER WAS CARRING THIER BABY…BUT THINK ABOUT ME NOWHOW MUCH I WANT TO HAVE MY CHILD AND I JUST COULDNT TILL DATE…SO DO YOU THINK I WOULD NOT DO SOMTHING LIKE THIS IF I HAVE TO?
I DONT THINK THAT THE WORD ‘COLLECT’ IS RIGHT …
THAT IS NOT THE WORD FOR IT…NOT AT ALL…
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO JUST GIVE UP?…I DONT KNOW NOW WHAT TO THINK…
I WILL HAVE TO SLEEP ON THAT TONIGHT…
GOOD NIGHT ..
ANAT MAGEN HERE IN ISRAEL…
My dearest Mr. Bachchan,
Superficially, ‘gestation surrogacy’ which I guess is what you are speaking of - normal surrogacy is where the surrogate mother is impregnated by the biological father - does sound worrying especailly when the transaction is overseas. I ‘personally’ cannot condone either method. Lets assume the example of divorce that you give is a rarity and push the obvious emotional, ethical and religious beliefs aside; devaluing a human life form by equating it to a commodity, could damage the child’s psychological health with possible related repercussions in later life. Surely this too must be parental responsibility at the juncture they ‘plan’ a family; not just bringing a cute ‘mini-me’ into world for our sense of personal completion. Hiccups in the procedures are more unfortunate but the child suffers either way. And yes, I do share your surprise when I note the divergence in ‘asking price’ from east to west and that is quite another explotation issue!
However in the interest of maintaining a ‘balanced’ perspective it is a personal choice. I confess, I do not know what it is to be desperate to conceive. So many couples endure the most traumatic times when they want children and are yet unable to have them naturally; for them solutions like this would be a god send!
I do think adopting ‘orphaned’ children is commendable and necessary. There are thousands who are in need of a home and who ever said that the ‘act’ of parenting had to be biological. Most religions or faith systems encourage us as human beings to care for one another, share our ample with those who lack and basically accept that we are responsible for the children in the world. So in essence, adoption under the proper circumstances assuming both biological parents are not living, in my opinion would be a preferable substitute for surrogacy. These criteria are difficult as is the process and for millions of others having their own child is the only desire and I would respect that opinion too.
To note your concerns, there is no doubt that the future for all generations is looking thorny with all the complexities that we like to introduce through our wants and desires! But, I still believe each generation has the ability to adapt to the requirements. They do so because they are unfamiliar with life in another way. By instinct or by might we are survivors and always have been.
I do hope your hotel is conducive to a relaxing nights rest; I am certain you will need all the strength you can muster when you face the press in the morrow. Your lifestyle is expressly uncomfortable I am sorry to hear that you have concerns. Whatever life’s struggles you are one who would overcome and you have done so countless times during your colourful life and will continue to. Again, do heed your own fears where your health is concerned; after all what is the value of more work or money when compared with your precious health!
Goodnight again Mr. Bachchan sleep well and a have a safe, comfortable trip.
My love and prayers,
Jasmine

Namaste Mr. Bachchan,
As you have a very busy schedule, I just hope that your health is well. You mentioned that you are not feeling well. Please take rest.
Best wishes,

Hello Amitji,
I am great admirer of your writing style. I never read any of the blogs perviously and know i have started reading them regulary .

Bittu ,Los Angeles
helloooooooooo
Phyllis, thanks for your comment #250 yesterday. For a change I wasn’t being citicized to bits!
Srinivas and Manish Parmar — thank you ever so much for being selfless and including all our names in your comment to Amitji everyday. Pawan Pipalwa: congratulations again. Enjoy, today is your day, just like it was yesterday. How gracious of Amitji to wish your father.
Small B: aka Amitabh Ziibbu: I was really touched by your words. I felt kind of lonely yesterday, it was bhai dooj, and no brother near me. Okay, now I know you are there and were there yesterday too. Lekin rishta jodna bahut asan kaam hai. Rishta todna us se bhi zyada asan hai. Rishta nibhana subse mushkil kaam hai. Ummeed karti hoon ki rishta nibhaoge. (Trans: It is easy to establish relationships. Easier still to break them. The hardest part is to maintain relationships. Hope we can maintain this one.)
Valorie and I were already sisters (Val do you want to tell everyone about karvachauth? I think that was great!), now you are our small brother — this wonderful family creates and nurtures strong bonds indeed. Amitji, I hope you are taking note of all this — you Baghban, you.
Jasmine J
Thanks for the acknowledgement. Watched “Fistful of Dollars”. Clint Eastwood and yourself (Mr. Amitabh Bachchan) have 2 ailments (cigarettes or cigars, caffeine from coke, pepsi, tea or coffee) and lack of sufficient water intake (that problem I share with you both as well). Fare thee well!

With lots and lots of respect my dear pita samaan Amit jee,
Today’s post is for me from my hometown Agra. I am thrilled and intrigued that you are in Agra. Jaypee place was built after I left Agra but I have an idea where it is. Targhar ground where Vijay Max gathering took place is the place where I learned bicycle riding. Did I ever imagine one day Amit jee will be on the same ground.
Aha mere Agra kee kismet, Amit jee wahan gaye.
You didn’t know that Agra supplies 80% footwear to rest of India!!! Few of my friends are in shoe business, they own shoe factories but it’s a pity that workers ( they are called Kaarigars) who makes these shoes are poor. I have one pair that my friend gifted me and trust me Sir, whenever I wear it here in Canada, people ask me where did I buy it from.
Agra’s dalmoth petha is also famous. Petha is sweet kaddu or kashifal I guess, you don’t eat meetha so it doesn’t matter, dalmoth is namkeen that goes with tea but you don’t drink tea as well
About the surrogate parents — one wonders wo kaise log hote honge jo paise ke liye bachche bechte hain. It hurts to even think about it. How come all of sudden you are talking about it ? Did you come to know about a particular case in Agra.
I am happy that few people from my hometown got to see you. Agra despite being the tourist attraction has a small town mentality if I can still speak on my peoples’ behalf although I might not be correct since I left Agra 17 years ago. For Agra to have Amitabh Bachchan amongst them is a big thing that I am sure of so I can guess all those people who gathered in targhar to see you, how thrilled they must have been.
My Agra, my Taj Mahal, my Amit jee and my people in Agra and my blog and my extended family ——-its all about me and I love it the way it is.
Beetter believe it Sir !

Parnam,
Okay saw ‘Blue’ today… The less I say about this film the better no comment..
What an interesting Insurance plan Hmm… Wonder whether Nri’s will be welcome …lol…
Glad the event went well, strange isnt it.. most functions tend to drift away from the topic they intend to talk about all night long… And usually the subject matters really don’t matter any more…. your topics were very intriguing… can hold some many debates, maybe open a can or two of worms.. esp the surrogacy one…
I think its purely a personal situation, and circumstances that places ppl in such desperate measures.. as a whole we may have a stereotype view , in relation to it being a business… but there are many happy and content couples whose lives have been complete and filled with happiness… but like I said its an individual situation… In hindsight, what mother would want to give up a child after carrying it full term pregnancy and experiencing such maternal instincts??? and then to hand over the child??? Lets not make judgements, each has its own weighting… A very very personal experience and encounter…
Agra, visited once In my life mainly for the obvious tourist attraction, not able to venture to any other location around its surrounding… But an eye opener for the manufacturers of the massive shoe market…Thanks.
Have a good flight to Delhi…
And good luck for BB3.. later in the week… Such a shame never get to see it in London !!!!!!!!
Boy Im so desperatley awaiting Aladin.. in fact just caught an interview with Ritesh and Jacqueline Fernandes on a new channel.. She seemed to be a bit boastful , considering her first film or even her first interview for that matter, She portrays that she is the main character.. and how delighted she is to make her debut with Ritesh…. Hmmm what happened to her first film working with a legend Mr A. Bachchan ??? Has she lost her marbles ???
Sorry Amithji, (need to say this)… does she think the audience is going to see this film for her… Who is she anyway ??? A beauty queen of SriLanka ??? lol…
I would no doubt confirm that the world is seeing this movie for Mr Bachchan and Mr Bachchan alone… My children enjoyed excessivly Bhootnath… and hence they wish to see their uncle again in Aladin….Also it has that Harry Potter element to it also that children love…
Of course where there is life there is struggle… But hey Amithji it does not need to be complicated… Life is complicated enough… Please slow down a bit.. your health really does concern me deeply, I just can not express to you enough.. And I can be assured that rest of EF feel the same way…
Okayji my lov as always @ 12.05am

It is an insightful post.
Srinivas #113: You are right in asking her. When you are being asked for help, transparency is a legitimate expectation. You are owed an explanation. How did it come to this?
I completely agree with what you have written in your mail. All of us struggle with all our problems in life, financial, emotional, relational. And I know the only person who can help us is we ourselves.
I think suicidal ideation and the threat to end one’s life is a cry for help, for sure, but should not be used as a manipulative tool. All the millions of slumdwellers in India, the countless beggars who Amitji wrote about yesterday, are not thinking of killing themselves and their families. We should think about helping them too, should we not.
Phyllis’ idea of establishing a charitable trust is a good one. Aishwarya had written about charitable organizations that help people like Nidhi, and people like Aishwarya contribute financially to these organizations so that they may help people in Nidhi’s situation.
Shankar, maybe you can research these organizations with Nidhi, and put her in touch with one of these? Someone can sit down with her, maybe a financial expert, who can figure out a payment plan for the debtors. Nidhi wrote in one of her personal mails that she and her husband are earning handsomely. Is this an issue of managing finances responsibly, then?? To me, her major problem seems to be dealing with creditors. Just like Srinivas, I have a lot of questions.
I have a friend in New Delhi who lost her job a few years ago, and is unable to find another due to her age. I have witnessed her and her family struggling financially, and then her husband passed away in December. Talk about misfortune. She recently lost her house. All through, she has maintained her unwavering faith in God and continues her “sungharsh” with her circumstances. She is always cheerful, full of hope and laughter, and knows that better times will come. I admire her tremendously.
I am for putting Nidhi in touch with the correct agencies. Shankar, please don’t feel bad about this, I think your heart is in the right place. If you are able to figure things out further, and a plan can be formulated, logistics worked out, well and good. Thanks for taking the initiative (and lucky you, people are not jumping up and down angrily denouncing you for being a “leader”). I wish Nidhi all the best in finding a solution to her problems.

Dear Sir,
Have been with you since long… the schedules which we see are really hectic to say the lease… it is requested that kindly slow down a bit till the health gets recovered fully… I am waiting to see clone of prominent persons being created, but, then it will lead to loss of original talent… no matter what the clones or surrogate child lead us to it is apparent that it cannot replace the original… we can be followers of God but cannot become God ourselves….some thought… Keep doing the outstanding work… till reading the next blog.. cherio.. Diljit
Dear Amitji,

Devikishan: I don’t.. these are just random issues I came across somewhere.. however I would be very pleased to put up covers that you have if you would be willing to provide scans.. thanks either way..
I am repulsed at the thought that these women are subjected to these offers. They may be in dire straits and willing to accept the situation if it means that their own children will have a better future. From these women’s point of view it is a viable option.
Shame on the parents to be, it’s like hiring a contractor for some work to be done on the house. Let’s get three quotes and go with the one that is cheapest. Nice way to bring your child into this world.
Shame on the brokers and I am sure there are some Indian guys making tons of money as a surrogate brokers. He is the one making the real bucks, paying these surrogate mothers a lot less than what they deserve. If there is money to be made, leave it to an Indian guy to find the way. It’s like the people who have their hair shaved off at Hindu temples and they don’t even realize that their hair is being sold to a very lucrative overseas market. People are making tons of money off of others fulfilling a commitment to their religion. Not a penny of this money goes to the need of the temples or its people…just lining the pockets of the brokers.

Hi Mr. B. I hope you are taking care of yourself. It is probably difficult to do with your hectic schedule, but of more importance than anything else. We are only gifted with one body and if we don’t care for it no one else can….. Just think about how much your EF cares and then do it for us!!!
I have to laugh at Daisy’s post about her cat because here in Pennsyylvania is has gotten quite cold at night even with the central heating on. My cats have suddenly decided that the best place in the house is on my bed with the heated blanket (I keep my central heating quite low). The boys are big cats, 18 pounds each and they lay on either side of me. Many times I want to get up and am pinned to the bed till I can persuade one of them to move reluctantly.
Take care, love, Mary Anne

Dearest One and Only Muse…
All this talk of ’surrogate’ babies got me to thinking… As long as all the parties involved are adults…and as long as the resulting babies are treasured like they should be…then I consider the entire process a miracle…Think about women like ANAT MAGEN, who would give everything they own to have a baby - no matter HOW it happened… There will always be exceptions, of course, like you mentioned with the couple who got divorced…What happened to that baby, anyway? Did the surrogate keep it? Was it adopted? Didn’t the biological parents have some legal obligation to take the child? That would be something I would like to know more about… Anyway, the whole subject got me thinkin…
I don’t have any children of my own…not ever going to have that opportunity…
However, I do have my own version of ’surrogate’ babies…
Here’s your poem for tonight, Sir…guess I will just have to always wonder if you liked it or not…
“HAPPY FAMILY” by Valorie Adams, your persistant poet
Allow me - if I may - to introduce you, Sir ~
to the babies in my happy family.
It’s just me here with my four dogs ~
And each of them means the world to me.
First there’s “GINGER”, a bossy little old lady ~
She’s quite plump and very fuzzy and kinda white…
She ‘prances’ and struts when she walks around ~
She’s a rescue from the pound and a delight!
One day, I found “PATCHES” on the highway ~
A puppy dodging fast cars and trucks…
She’s since grown up to be a very BIG girl ~
Can’t keep her on a diet, just my luck.
The third one is a Yorkie named “POPPET” ~
This tiny baby owns me heart and soul…
Saw her living in a cage in someone’s backyard ~
Getting her into my arms became my goal.
The most special one of all is “BUBBA” ~
His malformed legs forcast an ugly fate…
That’s all corrected now, he only limps a bit ~
And I’m sure this precious boy is my soulmate.
TAAAAAAAA DAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Now you know all about me and my little family here…when the doorbell rings at my house - it sounds like I’m runnin’ a kennel in here…maybe I am…
One of my co-workers at the Post Office has a pregnant Yorkie and he wants to give me one of the puppies because he knows it would have a good home with me and that I will spoil it rotten…I was like, “Dude, I canNOT have another dog!”…but I want it….I want it sooooooooo bad……..have you ever SEEN a Yorkie puppy??? melt your heart plumb away…jiminy crickets…kya karu…If I get her (he’s only giving away females, he will sell the males - don’t even get me started on that) anyway, if I get her, she will have an Indian name…Parvati or Mumtaz or Rani or Kavya…I really gotta stop thinkin’ about it…
There is something called infertility…..and the cost of fertility treatment and surrogacy are indeed exhorbidant outside india….it is not really a matter of “choice” for parents to go for surrogacy…it is more out of desperation.
4-2 = -5
ab thik hey???? batao gurujiiii…tell tell gurujiiiiiiiiiii
gurujiiii…shahenshah mere , mahaan ho aaappp…
aap se itna sikhano ko mila hey..
aaj ek maths or “drawing” ki class bhi ho jaayee……
Dear Mr. AB,
I find it regrettable that the only scenario you mention for surrogate parenthood would be the one where “when you have no intent of carrying pregnancy on your system for 9 months !!” Perhaps that scenario exists somewhere, but I have yet to come across such a case, even living here in California. On the other hand I know a fair number of people who would give anything to have a baby and would see it as the greatest privilege and blessing if they could carry it themselves.
What of those who can not? You should know Anat Magen in your own EF, she writes you every day. She told you her story in the past and she told it again today. Would you really consider taking this option away from her? Because there is one known case where things have gone wrong and now the baby does not have the intended parents?
Things can go wrong in life all the time, everywhere - so why single out this practice that benefits so many with a real need, a need so great that is impossible to understand for most of us? Because money is involved? But money is involved in anything we do. Again, why single out this practice? If you have statistics that the outcome in general makes surrogates, parents or children unhappy, then by all means it should be reconsidered. And ask the children if they would prefer not to have been born.
Good luck with your hectic schedule, Mr. AB and please take care of your health! I hope you don’t mind me being so outspoken today.
Love,
Renate
Hi! There is nothing wrong in having issues from a surrogate mother, may be in desperation couple do that.We have no right to pass judgement on them. Exploiting Indian woman is another story.
Change is the name of the game and life. We have to be positive and see good in these change. Indeed, we too adopted to new change so will the future generation.Life goes on and nothing is indespensable.
All the best for your future releases.
Take care.

Dear Mr. Bachchan
Your post today was mentally stimulating…..I am a person with a 3G phone and do enjoy the benefits of catching up with Jon Stewart shows which I miss due to the timings but I do not think they can ever replace the magic of watching movies on the big screen. It has its own charm and specially with the technical advances of movie making which can only be experienced on the big screen. A good example would be Jodha Akbar and the Telugu movie Magadheera. So I guess you can focus on the content and acting and leave the mundane stuff to others.
Your question on Surrogate parents remind me of the book ‘Brave New World’. There are pros and cons just as any other issue and difficult to understand unless we walk in their shoes. Let us just hope that the scientists who discovered the means will not regret it as Robert Oppenheimer did.
I hope I can see Aladin on the big screen and in order to do that I have to travel about 80 miles, if not I have to wait for the original DVD which might take months, a lot to think about ….lol
I hope you feel better soon and do take care
Lakshmi
Dear Amitji, NAMASKAR.
Thank you for very informative post on varied subjects.
As Agra is the producer of shoes of quality, Kanpur produces harness and saddlery which is exported to UK and other European countries. The artisans of Kanpur have developed special skills to manufacture these hand made items. I came to know about this fact when I visited Walshall, a small city near London, which has made name in the field of harness and saddlery.
Waiting to see you on Friday at BB3. I will be in Ahmedabad for a week from today. Hope I get time to see TV there. I also propose to visit Sabarmati Ashram at Ahmedabad and then Dwarka and Somnath. Have you ever been to Somnath? The temple has peculiar history and was re-erected 7th time after Independence.
With love and regards,
sincerely,
Vishan Lal
PS : Dear Valorie, thanks for Bhai Dooj Greetings. The correct word in Bhai Dooj is ‘Dooj’ and not ‘Doog’ as you have used. But it is the feeling which counts and that has reached me. Thank you.
Dear Sir
It is amazing how you find time for sharing your thoughts with us all. You are truly a role model for all, particularly for us who are now on the wrong side of the age. I fully share your views, agony & feelings about surrogate mothers in India & the paltry sums they receive. I would urge you to share your thoughts on adoption whenever you have time (which I do not yet know how you manage to find though I believe in ‘You can make time for whatever you prioritize in life’).
Lots of regards & love as always,
Rajeev
Dear Amitji,
My mind feels totally numb after that last sentence “A troubled health however is that nagging fear.” Which means u havent taken adequate rest obviously. Why wont u?
U seem to be spending more time promoting the movies than actually acting in it! So yes, I agree that u shd concentrate only on the movie making and its content, and not on its display and distribution. A good movie is like a beautiful woman…most beautiful in her simplicity, not when she is overdressed, loud, and gaudy.
My knowledge in technology is zilch and I like to keep it that way, the basic functions as u said are always the same. My hubby shows me the latest addition to his “toys” and after saying “Its nice”, I have nothing left to say!! If he’s happy, I’m happy.
I am really scared of the society and the world I have brought my child in. Too advanced, too fast, too polluted…too much of everything. Hope I can protect her from all evils.
Surrogate motherhood is something I have seen only in the movies and as an occasional ad in the paper, to actually know its happening out there in such an ostentacious way leaves a bitter taste. I think all childless couples shd choose to adopt. It would be symbiotic…there are so many little orphans out there longing to be loved and so much these parents can offer, why bring in more children to suffer in this world?
Ur post feels like ‘Ripley’s Believe It or Not’ today. And I dont want to believe!
Heavyhearted,
Aish.
P.S. Although I MUST visit Agra, I’ve never been there….something nice to think abt.
Dear Amitji, NAMASKAR.
I just checked the progress of your responses to Day 483. You have covered upto No.420 ! Please move ahead fast though you are very busy at present. It is not wise to stay at that figure of 420 too long !!!
Just a way to request to reach my number quickly. No malice intended please.
With love and regards,

Dear Amitabh Bachchan,
I agree, working schedule keeps us in shape and life is a constant struggle…
I do hope though that you take good care of yourself and enjoying your busy time ..: )

Forth generation technologies will be definitely followed by fifth and so on and so on …
Technological progress is fascinating and fantastic, bordering the idea of a ‘miracle’ produced in a scientific way. It brings to our life conveniences, excitement and joy ..
But what is absolutely true - it is the content of life that matters .. Content of everything ..
And if there are great films to watch - they will be watched in any format !!
*
Surrogate motherhood, that you have mentioned in your entry, is indeed a very sharp and complicated issue ethically and emotionally. I only knew, however, of it being the alternative to have a biological child for the couples, where the woman can not naturally carry the child and give birth. I saw a film about it.. I did not know though that it has an international practice …
I would imagine that by medical ethics and legally protected rights of all parties involved and especially of ‘to be born’ child there should be more care !
*
In general there are many things that developments of science make possible ..
Discoveries and knowledge is like opening Pandora’s box.. But it is under question whether we have right to practice all these discoveries.. We have a freedom of choice.. But such choice is not quite free - from us as human beings it is expected for this choice to be moral.. It does not matter what time we live in and what country and how far we have technologically progressed - when we stop being moral and ethical it will be the beginning of the end for human race..
I hope it is possible to progress in a humane way without discounting or destroying lives of human and other beings.
*
I wish you to have a good day with your promotional activity for “Aladin” in Delhi ..
And will be waiting to hear from you about it …
May God bless you and yours.
Much love to you.

P.S. Dear Phyllis,
Thank you for so kindly noticing my comment on the previous day … : ) With love.
Dear Lion King,
You have been on a whirlwind tour and yesterday you had exclaimed non employment. If this is your definition of being non employed what is your definition of employment!
Content shall and always be king irrespective of 3G,3Gs or 4G. This is precisely why good content has a hefty price.I agree Apple has taken a fair share along with BB of the mobile market but for all the right reasons. The seamless technology that apple provides is next to none and I am a big fan of them. It is wonderful to have the i phone, i pod and the mac all speak the same language and best of all none of them hang or crash, problems in plenty that I have encountered with the rest. However, I love my BB too and cannot leave the house without him but I love Steve Jobs more.
A befitting celebration was conducted for Kamal Haasan for completing 50 years in the industry recently. Wonderfully organized by Star Vijay and attended by the south indian film industry stalwarts from the southern states. Rajnikanth paid glowing compliments to this wonderful actor and one wonders how false was / is the rivalry between them? The statement made was that each of them decided to part ways to let the other grow.It was also a rare treat to watch Mohanlal, Mammooty and Venkatesh honor Kamal Haasan.I hope a similar ceremony is conducted for you shortly and we anticipate an announcement shortly.
Regarding surrogate mothers, every woman wants to be a mother and in the rightful natural way that God has intended her to. If fertility is an issue and if medical science demands that the only way is to have a surrogate mother then I see no harm in it. My heart goes out to such women who must be going through massive emotional turbulence before they take such a decision. But the joy to have a child is next to none. The laws of the land are unrealistic and wish that the child is not the victim, sadly in most cases it is. Even in India, wanting to be Indian moms go for surrogate moms. A mother has no boundaries.
Life is all about insurances, from the time we are born ( maternity insurance for moms ) to the time we go to school , college ( education policy ) , to the time we get our car ( vehicle insurance ) , to building our homes , ( buildings insurance ) , to safe guarding the valuable household items ( contents insurance ) , to minimizing our chosen professional liabilities ( indemnity insurance ) , to keep our pet’s medical costs within sane limits in the western world ( pet insurance ), our health in check ( private health insurance ) and finally when we die with the all encompassing life insurance. And marriages are also pre insured with pre nuptial agreements, no longer made in heaven , but in the confines of the chambers of very smart lawyers. Did god give us a guarantee when he dropped us here? No.
Your health is a big worry for all of us, I am not sure if an active man understands what rest is. It must be very difficult to rest the body and the mind. If you could rest at least one of them for a bit, I am sure it will make a tremendous difference.
Wishing you the best for everything.

Srinivas , Manish , archana ( bengaluru ) ,Aishwarya , Kashmira ji - Thank you for your greetings as always.
PB - Thank you for your comments. Yes, a charitable trust can be established after a few important things are decided starting with in which state of India will it be registered ( as each state has a different trust act )who would be the trustees ,preparation of a trust deed that defines the corpus, the working of the trust and who the beneficiaries would be. There are also tax implications to deal with. If you wish to send me your email id, i can forward you some info.
Shankar - Wonderful to see your kind gestures.I had written to Nidhi more than a month back. In my opinion it would be best to guide her to the rightful organizations that can work with her. The good thing is, she is well educated which solves half the problem. She needs to fight it out and organize herself better, breaking each one of her issues into manageable portions.
Hi
Technology is advancing at faster speed than one might even think about it…..its 3G and now 4G….but I think I am better off connected to Amit G…..this is the best connection I have ever got and I continue with it…till God permits me…
I fully agree with you about content…it has to be supreme over anything and everything else…and everyone producing content should remember that with every new technology deleting content would also become easier….not like old times when one had to sit through the movies whether you liked it or not….
On the content subject itself, I went to see Blue…and inspite of my being a Aksahy fan ..I am sorry to say that movie is just rubbish…devoid of content ..my brother said its better to watch few episodes of discovery rather than sit through the movie. I think the story writer went for a holiday without taking official leave…but I expected Akshay to have read the story (or at least ensure that there is a bounded pages of paper available) before doing the movie. Spending 100 crores or even more would be utterly wastage. Physique of expert scuba diver (Sanjay Dutt) does not resemble that of a diver in any manner…I think this is a perfect example of movie with a huge canvas and a budget to envy but without any content to hold interest. What a waste!
Well surrogate mothers story is a news to me that its happening in our country like this. I am not having adequate knowledge on the subject to comment.
BB3 is becoming more interesting with their usual and rather unusual bitching….lol
take care lots of love

Hiya Mr Bachchan
I just wanted to address the topic very briefly that you mentioned about Surrogacy. The foreigners that go to India from other countries are desperate couples wanting to have a child. They themselves are unable to conceive, to adopt a child abroad is very very difficult and have huge waiting periods. The cost..its so high, and sorry to say so.. but we are not all movie stars making so much money, we are regular working people who cannot afford the horrendous amounts, but does that mean because we don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars we are not loving, or that we dont deserve to have a child? If it were affordable why would people travel half way around the world? What can be better if a woman in a different country is willing to carry your child, forfill your dream of having a baby and at the same time is married herself with kids and is doing this for the betterment of her own children, to give them an education, clothes to wear, a home. Those that are well off will find this hard to understand having all the luxuries
But, i urge you to please do your homework before addressing such sensitive issues in the near future as you hurt people’s sentiments very deeply. Ask the woman or man who can not have a child what it feels like? Then you will understand this to a better degree. Please do go to Oprah’s website, she did a show on this sensitive topic and explained in full detail how it all works. Please do not discriminate against couples who wish above all else to have a child, yet not able too. The women that carry the child are not forced to do so but do so to help others as well as themselves. Acts of Love like this are bringing our countries closer together and the love is being circulated much faster than seeing any movie or praising any movie star. Ask the women who have gone ahead with the surrogacy how it changed their lives..be it the woman who carried the baby or the couple who received their MIRACLE CHILD. God is very kind and we should be thankful to him that such acts of kindness are taking shape in this beautiful world he created for us 
Please do read my message..i thank you kindly for taking the time to do so and do mention here that i have no ill feeling toward you, i respect you a great deal and that is why it hurt to read this.
I don’t believe in hatred. I believe in love. Just because another shows anger or hatred, it doesn’t mean we should react in the same manner, how would that make us any different?
Love can conquer all and make the world a better place for many many generations to come
Sandy
Dear Amitji
Pranaam!
Writing after Diwali. I want to wish you and your family and my extended family here a very Happy and Prosperous time ahead, brought on by Diwali.
Surrogate moms are, in fact, making those couples happy who are unable to have their own child. In India, they are exploited, i agree. But principally it is a hope for those deprived of this joy of having a baby.
Take care, dear.
Lots of luv.

Hope you are doing well.
What another very very interesting post.
Thanks for so much information on so many different topics….specially surrogacy.
All the best for tomorrow.
Please take care of yourself.

Hi Mr Bachchan
Hope my mail finds you in the best of your health and spirits.
Congratulations for the launch of Max Vijay scheme.This scheme sounds great taking in account the flexibility it provides.
I have been to Agra twice,one as a three yr old and other time when I was in graduation returning from jaipur but never had a chance to explore the craft.
The idea of surrogate motherhood is okay till the parents are unable to bear on their own but yes,the factor of divorce and seperation is a big problem.
But otherwise ,it sounds very artificial and horrifying too.In other way commercialisation of child birth.
All the very best for the promotion of Alladin and I am looking forward for yet another episode of BB3 hosted by you.
I believe in your father’s saying ..Jab tak jeevan hain tab tak sangarsh hain.That is the only thing which keeps one going no matter the hurdles.
Take care
Love & warm regards
Priyanka.
Dear Amitji, Good Morning. Nice discussion of things to come in future. What looks surprising today becomes need of the hour in future. So one can leave it for the people in future to decide where their babies will be born and Governmental logistics of regulation to monitor the foetuses which belongs to whom and from where will be future of legislation. May be an advanced passport will accompany sperms sent from that country along with DNA embedded on the passport in a small pouch. Check it and stamp it and send the baby back. Big revenue for the future Governments on incubation costs of 9months serrogation…
There is possibility of Pvt Ltd companies being formed which would rear such foetuses in future. And surely Piyush Pandey sees good opportunity for his future Admen there in promoting new generation serrogation. I still feel the baby in the womb needs mother’s and father’s daily love and communication from outside which will be misssing in the case of 10000 or 200000$ surrogation contract. Earlier we saw contract killing becoming famous now we see contract birth becoming popular.
I can only say one thing about mobile revolution that everyone seems to be hooked to the tower. Like a cow or buffalow tied to the pole with a long rope. Every mobile phone user is tied by the invisible rope to the nearest tower.
Agra is famous for two things one was Petha and the other was Pagal Khana now Shoes exports have also made Agra more famous. Taaj Mahal too makes Agra a unique place for touristry.
One best Insurance one can have is small savings which become very handy in any emergency. A small coin box also comes handy at times when we drop small change regularly in it after coming home.
My regards to those who keep the purity alive despite changes all around.

A very good morning….wow so much of information…..we just worked with Max New York here, they did a conference here in Ktm….!

Cheers frm Ktm as always - Varsha
Dear ABji,
love your blog.
however today’s blog of all the 547 blogs you have written had an insensitive tone to the topic of surrogate birth. Yes, exploitation exists. Yes, its a commercial transaction as far as birth mother is considered.
However, inspite of all the ills, its a great boon for the “un-able” couples to finally get the family they desire.
seasons best wishes,
Deepu
Even being female, I have no interest in shoes, especially designer ones. Since I am vegan, I don’t wear leather. I do have non-leather shoes for the one or two times a year that I need them. I assume these designer shoes are leather. I will post a link to an article about the cruelties of the Indian leather trade:http://www.petaindia.com/feat/f-leathertrade.asp
I have nothing to add to the comments concerning surrogate mothers. It has all been said. I have never had the desire or chance to have children. I’d rather have animals. But for those that want their own, I agree with the careful handling of the situation so that nobody gets exploited. I tend to favor adoption though.
I have gotten right back into the swing of things here in NYC at the Walter Reade Theater for the ‘Scary Movies 3′ festival, one which I’m sure you would avoid. I saw a very original ghost story film called ‘100 Feet’ and one of the best parts was that it had a beautiful cat. After the Q&A with the director, Eric Red, I asked him about the cat and he said it was an Abbysinian. I controlled myself and skipped the second Eric Red film so that I could avoid any jet lag. Having said that I will say goodnight so I don’t have to struggle too hard to be up at 4AM. (Well, maybe one more part of BB3 where I love your outfit!)
Love,
Rochelle
Dear AB and EF,
#219 Sorry if I hurt the sentiments of childless couples. I was thinking as an Indian, a woman, and a mother. An Indian because its chiefly here that women are opting for surrogacy in exchange for money…which reflects the poverty of our nation and we need to address it more seriously than ever before. As a woman because I would never want to be in a position where I have to rent my womb for money. As a mother because I cant think of parting with my child I gave birth to. My hands shake even thinking of it. But each person’s suffering, be it on the part of the couple or the surrogate mother, is different and I understand and empathize now with both. Sorry again.
Love,
Aish.
Dear Amitji
what u r saying is true.I remember this saying:Sometimes Struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through life without any obstacles, It would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been And we could never fly. So next time you are faced with an obstacle, A… challenge, or a problem, Struggle a little- then fly.Have a nice day keep smiling
We have to accept the changes with an open mind and strive to plug the loopholes. Surrogacy benefits both the parties. One has to make decisions whether renting a womb or selling one’s organs. It is a personal decision. Some are gifted with everything and thus they cannot understand what depravity means. Depravity can be material and otherwise as well. Life is complex and everybody’s life is not a fairytale journey from rags to riches. It is rather from rags to some sort of existence itself.
Raju’s behaviour towards Claudia is racial and disgusting. Why subject an innocent foreigner to such taunts and jibes?
For AB,
Surrogacy, whatever the method, is a reality. And since its gaining momentum one way or another, quite soon it will also be accepted as normal.
This reminds me of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World… that book seemed like a piece of fantasy when he wrote it.
But look around today, we are already half way into its making. The political and ethical sections of that book already exist in most parts of the organized, industrial world. Even the economics of currency has kept pace with the same theme as predicted by him like the infamous kept woman. John Maynard Keynes would have felt proud of himself that his principles are practiced and showing results!
Surrogacy is here to stay.
These children of surrogacy will move very soon from isolated individuals to a complete race with an identity and a belief-set. Population explosions happen faster with the distribution of technology.
Its not always a philosophical issue for those women who have to bear this human foetus inside them for 9 months. And its never been an issue for men because, as Aldous Huxley pointed out in his cynical way, once all human rights are brought down to the least common denominator, there will be no talk of merits. We’ll count bodies by their parts and evaluate them by their application.
We are almost there. Now its only the next step of moving from surrogacy to manufacturing that creature in a lab, then wait for the existing generations to pass out.
Indeed we are heading for a Brave New World, and we are almost there…
Love
Sudhir

Dear Val #224: you’re a true pal (look, I’m a poet too! Val, pal — it rhymes!!!
I was not “lonely” lonely, or I would’ve called you for sure, I was lonely coz’ it was the festival of Bhai Dooj, and I did not have a brother. You are my sistah, and now I have a brother in AZ, so lonely no more.
And by the way, sisters can be wished “Happy Bhai Dooj” too. It is a festival equally shared by both. (Have you noticed we FmXters never miss an opportunity to “educate” you?
But you are such a sport, take everything with a smile. Wish there were more people in the world like you. Most people take themselves way too seriously (and I fall prey to it sometimes as well).
And you and Lakshmi Jag can both come to New Jersey — we can go to watch “Aladin” together! Two cinemas within 20 minutes driving distance have at least 2 Hindi movies playing at any given time. Ain’t I blessed? I would be if I had the time to go see any!! Can’t even remember when I saw a Hindi movie in a theater last.
Love to you and to all my FmXt friends,
Jasmine
Hi Amit ji, The way you write makes the general things, so special. These all are thoughs of a comman man but the way its written in your blog, is very touchy.
Thanks for letting us remember our feelings

Good Morning.
बेबस और लाचार
खड़ा था एक चौराहे पर
अपनी गाड़ी को रोक कर
देख रहा था हाथ पसारे
कुछ बूढॆ-बच्चे भीख मांगते
सोच रहा था अपने मन में
क्या उन्हे मिलेगा जो मै दूंगा
किसी की झोली में सुख भर दूं
कैसे दुख दूर मैं इनके कर दूं
क्या जो भी इनके हाथ लगेगा
नही कोई दूसरा हथिया लेगा
क्या इनका भला कभी भी होगा
नही हो पाता मुझे भरोसा
सांस सांस से कहती जाती
भाई कुछ कर दो उपकार
भीख मांगने का भारत में
किसने, लगा दिया बाज़ार
मन में उत्कंठा थी भय था
और दिल में थी चीख-पुकार
भटक रहा व्याकुल मन कहता
हे भगवन क्या खूब रचा संसार
रह जायेगा यहीं धरा सब
कोई भी क्या ले जायेगा पार
फिर कैसे बिक जाते जग में
भूखे-प्यासे और बेबस लाचार ।

Dear Amit ji ,
Hope your are fit and fyn…..
Just head your statement that you are not involved in the Amar singh related scam……………….great relief to hear that.
On surrogacy if its done in good intention i.e one needing a child for the yearnign to be parents and other donating it for the good cause and even in return getting money to be bale to support thier other kids to goods education/ living is no sin………………and i welcome it.
If its commercial in nature then its worng but then some percentage will be like it you cant make this world rosy n good like our films…………….GOOD IS GOOD BECAUSE EVIL MAKES IT GOOD……….. honey is sweet cos we know how lime tastes………..
GOD BLESS ALL AND MAY AL BE BLESSED WITH KIDS N HAPPINESS.
Take care
Luv Alway

Dearest Amit Sir -
Hope you are doing great!
It’s been my dearest wish that my presence in this world is known to you.
Alas!!
You are a Superstar, albeit one who’s loved by ALL of us. It’s a many to one relationship, Sir.
I read your blog first because I admire,love,adore you (since my childhood, too)
and because I also learn about being a good human being, which you convey through your blog and sometimes, from your father’s immemorable poems.
I’ve decided to try and AT LEAST say a “Hi” everyday…MAYBE, just MAYBE someday you’ll relent and send me an email
Ha Ha Ha
I love you, admire you, adore you. AND your family!
Long live My Amitabh Bachchan…The TIGER

Dear Mr Bachchan,
I am filled with awe at the busy schedule you keep, inspite of frail health. Way to go. So proud of you.
First of all, I was moved by your note on Bhai Dooj, the plight of beggars in our country, the moral and practical implications of charity and aid, the liberal guilt that urges us to compensate. I empathise with your feelings on all of the above. The darkness and light of diwali and Life. I guess both are necessary for us to better understand each as a contrast to the other.
I started the tradition of Bhai Dooj in my late husband’s family. Although I am South Indian and my husband, a Jain. I value family and feel the need to belong. My husband’s family is as important to me as they were to him. Then, suddenly, as suddenly as I lost him, I lost the family too. My attempts at keeping in touch are received politely but not reciprocated. Our children are growing up and are as bewildered as I am. For the last five Diwalis, I have felt rejected and so, so bereaved. Perhaps it is my own need to belong which they don’t necessarily have to reciprocate. My husband was the anchor, the fulcrum and, now that he is not with us, the connexion has snapped. Why did I think it was everlasting? I really did, you know. I learnt their ways, their religion, their language ( I don’t speak Gujarati perfectly, segueing into Hindi as I do, but I can read it very well and understand every spoken word), their cooking…
I thank God for my upbringing and the elders who played a major role in it. My grandparents who laid the foundation for values. My father, who is my spiritual strength - he was killed in action during the Indo-Chinese hostilities of 1962 when I was 11 months. My mother, who taught us by example and tried so hard to be both mother and father to us. My uncles and aunts and cousins who gave us so much love. And a core group of friends who have stood by me through thick and thin. And through sick and sin. Unconditionally.
So why am I feeling so sad about my in-laws. Why do I still wish I could be with them? The person I miss most is my father-in-law. The only person I called Daddy. I don’t intrude on their lives anymore. Perhaps Daddy is reminded of his late son when he sees me and the rest of the family don’t want him to get agitated. Regardless, noone can take away from me the good memories (illusions?) I have. My husband was truly a very special person, I was very, very blessed to be his wife. The only way I can think of our relationship is his Shri Krishna to my Tulsi.
With each day, I realise how little I know. I find your notes very touching and inspiring too. And when I read the comments of the others, I sit and think and learn a lot.
I’d like to say something to Aishwarya, #135 of 18.10.2009. I felt so much for your sadness and anguish, Aishwarya. Have faith in God and in yourself. You will overcome whatever besets you. Perhaps one day you will understand the whys and wherefores of the event and let it go in peace. It will take time, but it will happen.
I like the Serenity Prayer (and the ‘Svasti’) for whenever I feel overwhelmed by despair.
Lord / Deva / Amba,
Grant me the Courage to change the things I can,
The Serenity to accept the things I can not,
And the Wisdom to know the difference.
Take care, Mr Bachchan. Good wishes to all of the EF.
V. Mehta
Dear amitabhji,
sir you have raised a very thought provoking issue of surrogate mothers.it is really a matter of serious concern if the couple after agreeing to get the surrogate mother go for divorce. i think this matter need to be addressed at the global level.it is better to put legal condition on this not t allow the couple to get divorce in the middle viz before the birth of the child by the surrogate mother .legal experts need to look into this issue.
i have lived in agra for two years from 1994to 1995 and had the opportunity to visit some of the biggest exporters of footwears and marble exports.from agra millions of rs exports are done day in and day out.
jaypee hotel where you stayed is a excellent hotel with good surroundings.
eagerly waiting for your briefings to press on ALADIN. WILL BE GLUED TO TV TONIGHT.
ALL THE BEST AMITABHJI.

Respected Amitabh Bachchan Sir,
i AM A VERY lenient ONE TO WRITE YOU THAT, i COULD HARDLY RECOLLECT A PERSON, FROM MY 42 YRS OLD ARCHIVE OF MEMORY, WHO HAVE PROVEN THE WORTHINESS OF ONES NAME. OFFCOURSE YOUR NAME IS NOT IN THE OUTBOX CATEGORY OF MY ARCHIVE. i AM A BENGALI FELLOW THATS WHY i CAN PRONOUSCIATE YOUR NAME AS “OMITAV” (Sir). YOUR NAME DENOTES “…limitless lustre,OR the name of Lord Buddha…”
IT’S INDEED, THAT NONE OF US CAN JOIN OUR OWN NAMING CEREMONY WITH OUR OWN JUDGEMENT, BUT, IF i WERE ASKED THAT main kya banna chahta hoon… i WILL SAY THE ANSWER i ALLWAYS PREFER…main priyaranjan banna chahta hoon…
i HAD GONE THROUGH YOUR ARTICLE IN TIMES OF INDIA ‘BOUT…i always wear a musk… or ..hope that no one could ever see me behind the mask… OR SOMETHIG LIKE THAT.
SIR, ONE THING YOU MUST BE KNOWING THAT, WE ALL DO WEAR A MUSK ALL THE TIMES THROUGH-OUT OUR LIFE. WE OFTEN TRY TO EXPOSE OURSELVES IN A VANITY WHICH WE DO NOT POSSES ACTUALLY. THERE’LL BE a RARE, WHO CAN ACT AS HE IS, sahaj hone ka abhinay karna AUR sahaj hona, ye dono alfaz IS A GRATE PARADOX IN LIFE. wayse main 42 saal ka buddha nahi hoon. 42 baras umar mera shareer ka hai mann ka nahin. i AM AN EX SERVICEMAN FROM IAF. STILL LOOKING DASHING. I TOO HAVE GIRL FRIENDS OF AGES 23 TO 29. i AM FOND OF MUSIC, ARTS of all nature, WRITING, PHILOSOPHY, THEOLOGY, (PROF & AMATURISH AS WELL). i ACTUALLY DO NOT REMEMBER THE LIST, CONSISTS THE AREA OF MY INTERESTS. i STILL HAVE A WISH TO JOIN GYM, LEARN URDOO, POST MY ARTICLES, EXPLORE PLAYING MORE & MORE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS (already crossed 10 to 12 in No.s). i AM IN IT FIELD OF WORK since 1985. MY EARNINGS ARE THE ONLY LIMITATION BEFORE MY WISH. BUT HAVE FAITH deep in my hearth THAT i shall overcome someday…
Sir, AS A DEEPAVALI GREETING I WANT TO SAY YOU MY OWN QUOTATION…
“You may deny going along a Pioneer
& divert your route from the way
where the footprints are common.
Try building yourself a Pioneer
rather becoming a companion of your Bystander”……
Ek AUR akhri khwaish…?
If you are really a Masked Man, then i can say…
“……MUKHOWTA HO TO BACHCHAN JI JAISA HO
WARNA NAA HO………”
Wish you a Happy Diwali… & This Deepavali may bring LIFE TO EVERYONES SAGACITY…….
from, me, my wife Mahua & the Eldest person of my family Ms. Aanchal (10yrs old) join me in anticipation.

Angel Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ is here … good morning dear ji ..
Dear Sir .. I do wonder the same regarding the topic of surrogate mother and child. many Question comes to mind and hard to believe it.
But on the other hand ( because somewhere it happened in my close circle ), at least those feel blessed who were deprived from parenthood because of their medical condition( which is not known to me ), where they were not successful in conceiving. May be it was the (surrogate) only way out for them.
I believe if it is for those who could not conceive. But if it is put to use as to ( the blunt word would be ‘escape’) not go through the 9 months, then it is not good. and what happens to the surrogate mother who carries the baby for 9 months ? the womb ? I don’t think anybody can overrule the emotion of carrying baby and let it go. Who gets all those honor of pregnancy ? the creation ?
either way … I take it as “Mankind is challenging its own creation”. Divinity can’t be challenged.
very well said “So long as there is life , there is struggle” believing in it.
with luv
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
I am from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I have been a fan of yours for as long as i can remember & my greatest memory that i will cherish for the rest of my life is when i saw you at Delhi airport in 1984 at the age of 10.
I sincerely pray for you & hope you have a long, healthy and beautiful life.
Regards,
FAISAL
Dearest Amitji.. I thank you my friend for the this next masterpiece.. Happy stay in Agra, my angel.. Taj Mahal… This miracle and magnificence which I dream to see… some day.)
Technologies are not at a stop, every day constructive changes in this world and we cannot learn all in perfection..
You raise such theme, as surrogate motherhood.. I also as well as you, as well as all of us simply almost convulse on thoughts of it… It is difficult To me to understand all this wild process on sale of children, it is absolutely unacceptable for my reason.. We PEOPLE, but we should learn pity and love to posterity at dumb animals… Forgive me this comparison and throw in me a stone if i am not right… Never i could not betray to the child..
My precious Amitji.. At you such intense days now that I very much worry to your health.. It is disturbing for you.. Please care of itself and at least have a little a rest whenever possible.. I am wish that you were healthy..this main.. We will overcome all, my dear. We will live and work hand in hand while there are forces.. The life - is struggle… My prayers with you always.. With warmth, care and sincere love.. With you for ever in any situation, my sun.. I am take your beautiful palm in my hand and gently i embrace you.. Yours devoted Lyudmila.)
dear amitji,
our head reels from reading this roller coaster of a post. God knows what must be going on in your’s as u ponder over/analyze/share such diverse thoughts and still have the time and energy to cope up with your commitments!
we find solace when you say that fads will come n go but some things (basics) will always remain the same. we must remember to move with the times with our feet firmly on terra firma!
at the same time our heads reel with the idea of ’surrogate babies’… reminds me of this crude (but relevant) line: “mehnat kare murga…aanda khaye fakir”
one should not be surprised if, in the future someone comes up with a fundu
‘contraption’ that programmes our systems such that we dont need to eat or sleep… or news n entertainment beamed straight to human minds… no via-media! one has to decide if this is progress or…

Hi Mr. Bachchan
Good to know that Max Vijay promotion event went off smoothly. The insurance scheme sounds interesting.
As you brought up the topic of surrogate motherhood , I was surprised to know that there are BPO’s managing the inquiries! I believe its fine for couples who have some medical problem.
All the best for “Aladin” promotional event.
I might be missing your post tomorrow as I will be traveling to my worktown (Mumbai),hopefully I will reach on time, so that I can catch your post late night & thereafter it will be back to the grind…
Take care
Love & regards

Hi Sir,
Technology is the output of the content that comes from elsewhere. As long as that source exists, the technology will be there for its distribution. If mobiles can bring about outputting movies it is only because there exists a separate fraternity that makes those movies. When the source of the content is destroyed, the device of output is left to being good for nothing. What use is a technology if it cannot display some sort of content that attracts the individual who occupies it?
The issue of Surrogate motherhood is brought into more light in terms of its consequences when you focus on aspects such as the one of the divorce you mentioned. The child is definitely left to living a life that will probably be more challenging then if the parents were together. The decision impacts the child negatively, and before choosing whether to go ahead with Surrogate mothers, parents should take this fact into consideration. It is often relieving to resolve one of their own problems, but to look beyond the self at those who will be effected and then make their life better, is the better human being.
Regards and Love,
S
Respected Sir,
Good luck for the BB3. I share your feelings on surrogate motherhood. At the moment it’s not acceptable to me idealogically but later on you never know what makes you beleive in this.

Dear Mr B,
Strange that you talk about surrogate motherhood. The tragedy that you talked about, it actually happened to a Japanese couple. They selected a lady in Kolkata to be the surrogate mother to their child and in the 5th month of the pregnancy they divorced. The to be father came down when the baby was due, but due to Japanese law and single male cannot adopt a baby and the to be mother refused to adopt the baby. The gentleman stayed in Kolkata for over a month to sort things out and take his baby home. Finally things went his was when the grandmother came down and signed the adoption papers.
I think there should be laws to protect the surrogate mother and the child when couples go their separate ways. Imagine what would have happened if the father too had refused to adopt.
Anyway alls well that ends well.

Dear AB and EF,
The Malayalam movie ‘Dasharatham’ starring Mohanlal, based on surrogacy, is a must-watch. Its soul stirring and I always finish up a wad of tissues every time I watch it!

Indeed we are heading for a Brave New World, and we are almost there…
so right ! its not too far far away unless most of the countries indulge into WW3 or world is dominated by some dictator who is very old fashioned and anti Tech. Changeability is the only constant in Nature, for better or worse. one has to accept it sooner or later ,easy or hard way.
when we hear about Glaciers melting down faster than predicted “The Day After Tomorrow” situation can occur before speculated time period ! who knows!?
time may come soon where we have to face ” I Robot ” sitution too ! never know what tomorrow brings in its BAG for mankind. and who shall be held responsible for ?! for better or worse !!!
Good morning or night, whenever you are checking this.
I am sure its your agents checking all the blogs. So I request who ever is reading this to forward this message to your big boss.
” I am Ashamed about the film industry in India ”
Well if thats not caught your attention , read on
” ashamed because from past 50 or so years it has remained like that, its like the field of dentistry, they never could make a medicine till today which stops cavities to appear, synonymously IFI [ indian film industry ] remains in the same old shape and size, glamourous looking but filled with cheap copies, remakes and unprofessional behaviour on all fronts.
Directors are on the seventh sky, producers are never available, actors are pathetic in their normal discipline of punctuality , behaviour , patience , pricing , writers just scribble something on the toilet paper and say its a story a new concept, songs quality is depreciating and people just cant connect with the movies they see, some are shot in US / australia …actors come on TV sharing their experiences about how wonderful it was for me to swim with the sharks in a bikini …haha. People think its stupid. Change the channel immediately.
Amitabhji …what is going on.
The writers, the very foundation of movies get hit the most , they cant approach big production houses, they need to polish people to get a break, films are deteriorating in quality by the day, producers dont have the capacity to think deep, dont have the capacity to touch topics and scripts because they lack in their understanding. Actors are too busy, or it may seem. even though job less.
The big production houses are chaos. The behaviour, the usage of internet , communication is still not improved. although they make pretty foolish films, their hype is just ridiculous.
The singers and the songs are given petty money for their work.
So the singers and songs end up being bullshit…can you recite any one song from the movie Alladin…please i am sure you remember the words of “mere angane mein ” much better than any song in Alladin. haha
Now coming finally to the actors. Amitabhji….tell me just one movie in recent time where an actor personifies someone who he is not, who is a completely diametrically opposite in nature / character and depth. Aamir khan is one who can do it otherwise all else fail miserably. Of course to some extent SRK too….
but much lower, in most of the movies he is an NRI, swades - a normal man, Billu - himself [ what was there to act ] …KKKG [ kabhi khushi kabhi gham - normal man ,,,no need to impersonate anyone.
aamir khan played bhuvan, mangal pandey , a dyslexic teacher....
Where as ....ajay devgun plays a normal person in jeans in all the best, saif normal as himself in love aaj kal ....ranbir kapoor [ the smirking idiot ] is himself in wake up sid …..boss where is acting in that. its like getting up in the morning and walking into the sets without any rehearsal of dialogues, No change of costume ….No change in facial expressions….where are the people who really know how to act drunk and depressed even when they have won a lottery.
Your role in Alladin is quite good, from the looks of it, but didnt you do a similar role in jhoom barabar jhoom…????
The industry tries itself to throw itself on the world, going to monaco and stuff, but bring in quality films , release it world over, get appreciations from the world and have a competition with Quentin tarantino …and steven soderberg…[ do you know he has made only 5 or 6 films till now ..still he is much awaited director ]
Planning is missing in our industry…in all aspects ….thats all.
i am sorry to be so acerbic in tone ….buts thats what it is ….thats where it is going …. its a sorry plight. however glamourous it is shown…upar se sherwani andar se pareshani….
IFI needs pillars like you to guide them in organising themselves, i am surprised that there are small offices and MNC’s running in a better and professional way than the IFI.
If you want to, we can discuss more on each and every topic of your industry.
But What makes me think you would entertain me, haha….
Confidence Amitabhji confidence
kab tak chamcho se chipke rahenge….kabhi kissi se pala pada hai …jo asli cheez bataye….
Do you want to test the condition of your industry.
Call yash raj films main office….just like that, make a different tone. ask them that you would like to meet a producer or someone incharge of Script reading….tell him you are a writer and would want an appointment..
You will enjoy the reaction and attitude they have towards budding people.
Please call any so called coporate Production house. And see the reaction.
and then tell me.
My name is Firoz Siddiqui , 30 yrs old , working as an automobile design manager , living in Pune , 9960669708.
Wait for my next blog to you.
Dear Friends,
Could someone please explain to me about the yellow line !!

Dear Sudhir
This along with dikhaai diye yun is amonmg all time favourites.. the movie was too good.. Here I have used the transliteration into Hindi.. for some reasons abhayasudhir is not responding well to cnversion mode.. so I have kept the anglicised wordings.. your original contribution over there..
There are things we discover late in life when the time is not enough to start again!
करोगे याद तो हर बात याद आएगी
गुज़रते वक़्त की हर मौज ठहर जायेगी
Karoge yaad to, harr baat yaad aayegi
Gujarte waqt ki, harr mauj thehar jaayegi
… … … If remembered, every little detail can be recalled
… … … And then this tidal wave of Time freezes in motion
ये चाँद बीते ज़मानों का आइना होगा
भटकते अब्र में चेहरा कोई बना होगा
Ye chand beete jamaano ka aaina hoga
Bhatakte abr me chehra koi bana hoga
… … … This moon may be a mirror of the past
… … … There’ll be a face in the drifting clouds
उदास राह कोई दास्तान सुनाएगी
करोगे याद तो हर बात याद आएगी
Udaas raah koi dastaan sunaayyegi
Karoge yaad to harr baat yaad aayegi
… … … Some pensive path will recount a lost saga
… … … If remembered, every detail can be recalled
बरसता भीगता मौसम धुंआ धुंआ होगा
पिघलती शम्मो पे दिल का मेरे गुमां होगा
Barasta bheegata mausam dhuan dhuan hoga
Pighalti shammo pe dil ka mere guman hoga
… … … Raining wet season will be shrouded in a mist
… … … Melting candles bare the state of my heart
हथेलियों की हिना याद कुछ दिलाएगी
करोगे याद तो हर बात याद आएगी
Hatheliyon ki hina yaad kuch dilaayegi
Karoge yaad to harr baat yaad aayegi
… … … Henna on the palms reminds of something
… … … If remembered, every detail can be recalled
गली के मोड़ पे सूना सा कोई दरवाजा
तरसती आंखों से रास्ता किसी का देखेगा
Gali ke mod pe sunaa sa koi darwaaza
Tarasti aankhon se rasta kisi ka dekhega
… … … At the turn of the lane, there is this desolate door
… … … Waiting for someone with such longing in the eyes
निगाह दूर तलक जाके लौट आएगी
करोगे याद तो हर बात याद आएगी
Nigaah duur talak jaake laut aayegi
Karoge yaad to harr baat yaad aayegi
… … … The sentinel gaze will go far and return forlorne
… … … If remembered, every little detail can be recalled
This is a song in the voice of Talat Aziz in the film ‘Bazaar’. I must add that the picturisation didn’t do any justice to the poet. Even the whole gazal is not presented. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUXuNmwaXtY&feature=fvw

Your writings always carry poetic beauty. You thoughts are well versed , You convey and express yourself with sublimity and percision.Your perception of nature and its manifestations is remarkable.Your Metaphoric conclusions are laudable.
Sir ,
I have a few questions about your profession of acting.
1-When 6 Year old Abhishek is sick, Your dear friend just died the previous day, You have a back ache .You have to work round the clock , you wake up early in the morning , feeling stressful , dowcast and you have to do an out and out comedy scene. How do you do that . Isnt it painful , does it hurt to not to have luxury of being yourself 24×7? Doesnt it hurt to portray some one else for most part of your life. Agreed that we all portray ourselves some one else socailly , but actor’s delimma is more painful , isnt it?
2-Which part is tougher? Doing a comedy scene when in real life you are going through a turmoil, or doing a tragic scene when you are feeling thrilled in real life.
3-Why you are not in favour of method acting.
4-Dont you think that artists owe their fame and popularity to to the technological revolution. Dont you think that modern day artists are the glorified version of the older days FOOT PATH NOTANKI BAAZ folks.
5-There are professions which bear far more labor of pain ,blood sweats but earn far lesser money than show biz .Do you agree?
6-Why we build a bias towards our favourite celebrity, sports team, our relegion, our region, our country, why we fight over our favourites, why we want our idol to succeed all the time , without him being aware of us and our devotion towards him?
7-There are good actors and bad actors, , good actors are the ones who consistently deliever beilavable performances, actors dont compete with each other , as long as two actors are consistently good they are both good, number tags are for media who exploits personal bias among fans.Do you agree?
8-Media makes artists Stars, It make them household name and in return take liberty of invading their privacy, fabricating and sensationlising for the sake of TRPs, its a give and take, do you agree?
9-When you perform in public, you look for recognition , how would you react to the theory that performing art is narrisistic in its essence. Artist wants to be the best, want to out do others, you feel uncomfortable and insecure of other’s success, more so when you have tasted the success .Do you agree?
10-How is actor’s personal life affected by portraying some one else for majority part of his life,how does it feel when actor comes across an incident in real life which he has reacted zillion times in reel life.
11-If you are given a character whom you dont identify with , you dont understand and percieve the way he thinks and approaches the life. How do you prepare for that character, or do you think that one human being has the shades of millions , trillions of characters possibly be concived by a director and Its just a matter of bringing that character out of yourself?.
12-DOES ARTISTS SUFFER FROM MULTIPLE PERSONALITY SYNDROME , are they more vunerable.
13-Is it true that when you work round the clock , the quality of work suffers?
Thanks,
Imran Malik

Sir,
Scary thoughts about surrogate motherhood, but one should also not forget that it is a great boon for couples, who due to various health related issues, are unable to conceive. Though on a personal level I would advocate adoption, to each is own.
Thanks

My dearest Mr. Bachchan,
Technology has always been a sore point with me…I am and prefer to be a hands on person. Not that I do not make optimum use of it…here optimum would refer to the extent of my understanding of it! I am glad you too seem to harbour similar thoughts as I do….you say your knowledge of all terminology in this regard is like a barren desert and that no matter what inventions come into being, the basics will always remain! I couldn’t agree with you more on this!
Agra!! Memories again….we were posted at Bharatpur from 1980-1981, and we would have to make weekly trips to Agra ( about an hour plus journey) to procure all our daily needs as besides ‘atta’ and bread and maybe some veggies, there was precious nothing you could get in the local Bharatpur ‘market’ those days. So Agra it was…the whole Unit would travel together, about 8 odd families, kids and all (it was a Missile Battery and not a Regiment hence less no. of offrs), and spend an allocated Sunday there, do our work, and then if time permitted, do a little sight seeing as well!
Apart from the Taj Mahal, the most beautiful creation I’ve seen is the Radha Swami Temple in Dayal Bagh…it is all marble, with exquisite carvings, of birds, flowers, vegetables (yes, vegetables!)and the various gods and goddesses. What is very unique about this temple is the blending of three architectures….the structure is a blend of a Temple, a Mosque and a Gurudwara. Next time you go to Agra do make it a point to visit this temple…it will be an experience you shan’t forget. Yes, and Agra is the biggest manufacturer of shoes, after maybe Kanpur!
Surrogacy is fast turning into a curse, like any other technology development, which is abused and indiscriminately used! What had begun as a boon for those afflicted with infertility or impotency has now become mere tools of convenience! It is despicable! I just pray that man slows down a little and takes a grip on his bearings, else there will be unimaginable devastation and hell to pay, for us all, some day soon!
Please do take good care of your health…nothing else comes even a close second to it…it is precious and all important, and you know this too!
With much love and blessings,
Always,
Kashmira
Good Morning AMIT JI !

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
The Max Vijay Insurance Policy sounds appealing. It would be great if you can manage to post a link to the Prospectus of said scheme.
3G or 4G, the fact is we are fast becoming slaves of modern technology.
Regards,
Melwyn
Dear sir,
The customers may get more flexibilities in the Max vijay ..and the Agra and Taj mahal is synonyms ..in this city there are huge mass of people earning by small scale industries ..the place of interest by many reason for the ad guru .
The MOTHER to surrogate mother ..changing the laws of Blood relation.delivery system ..human laboratory not for research, for seeking child by one person and other one for ‘Paapi pet ka sawal ? “pet and garbh” both have wider meaning but we can make it for money ..struggle for survival ??..we often choose the way what is easy path ..surrogate mother’s child quality to be judge , in case of denial then pay the price by pity child .. very pitful situation .
I think adoption is right choice .
with regards

I was reading about the yesterday’s post when I wrote the poem.. albeit it has not come out as good as the thoughts.. your thoughts..
I was someties back watching this song on youtube.. the boot polish.. I was wondering whether you would be able to stop by a boot polish wala to get the shine on your shoes.. I know it is not physically possible for you for the fear of being mobbed down by the crowds.. yet someday.. I would wish that you get down from the car and get the shoes polished by one of their clans.. and tell them.. no work is below dignity and that you repsect that better than begging..

Dear Amitji,
Agra is a great city……….. Taj what a monument… i had been to that place atleast 100 times……….and i visited taj every visit. still not satisfied..
Regarding surrogate motherhood.its more practised in Western world. where both does not have time……….but i feel there will never be a bonding between parents and child…………..so………
jasmine mam…and all others who have certain doubts in thier minds…. this misfortune befell me about 10 yrs ago and do u think i have not fought bravely against the prob all these years?.. its only after 10 years of trying to manage that i have finally sought help… maybe i am not competent enough in your perception… but i know sincerely and honestly that i have done my best…still it is obviously noones obligation to help me… and i did not post the plea for help knwoing that the EF would take note…. it was kind of all of you to notice… but at the same time i think it would be better that i handle the doubts of my creditors than to be stripped of self respect at the hands of people who do not know what im going through… no regrets .. thanx a lot again for noticing me.. though the person i had sent a plea to did not notice…will try to fight with whatever i have left in me and till the time i can…god bless you all…
yes sir, jab tak jiyenge tab tak sangharsh to karna hi parega.or isi me sayed kushi bhi hai,kyun ke dushro ko khus rakh sakte hain.
Best wishes for “Aladin”

Dear Amitji,
This is the first time I am writing on your blog. I have been reading your daily postings for some time now and always feel inspired.
“there’s no life without struggle” very well said. But not many people put up with the life struggle like our great Amitabh Bachhan does. May God bless you and keep you in good health for many many more years of entertainment to the public.
I remember my KG days quote - all work and no play makes jack a dull boy!! - Hope Amitabhji takes time for play and rest in equal measure.
Wish you well and have a nice day

Dear Sir,
Very well said: “So long as there is life, there is struggle!”
But this surrogate parenthood thing that you’ve described in today’s blog is really a very disturbing thing…. While it may be a boon for some unfortunate childless couples, but doing it to save costs…. PATHETIC!
MAX VIJAY life insurance scheme really looks very novel and inviting!
I for one am certainly going to subscribe!
If you have some snaps of the Agra event, please post it on your blog.
All the best for ALADIN’s promo in Delhi…
And all the best for ALADIN’s success all over the world!
Can’t wait for it to release on Oct 30!

Thanks & regards
Most Respected Amitabh ji,
I m one of your zillions of fans. Infact, in our house we have three generations of your fans living. Sir, it is an extreme pleasure to watch your films and shows and hear your interviews on television or read about u in the papers or read ur blogs. Everytime I watch ur films - Mili, Chupke Chupke, Abhimaan, Dewar, Shole, Don (and ofcourse there is ONLY one), Hum, Silsila, Sharabi and numerous others and listen to most of the unforgettable songs and ur dance numbers, I realise why exactly we have not had any real superstar after u. It is such a pleasure to watch all your movies and they are really really entertaining. Yet, you are so humble and down to earth. There is so much to learn from you.
Sir, I really want to someday have the privilege of meeting you. I am sure u get millions of such mails everyday but I wud really pray that my wish comes true someday.
Lots of best wishes for a good health and long life….

And yet another song very close to my heart is
Hai duniya usiki zamana usi ka..

The movie brahmachaari was probably a tremendously good one.. the number aaj kal tere mere pyaar ke charche.. was so popular that it has even been used in some ads as well..

I wish the ones who love Shammi sahab may wish to listen to these immortal songs one again..

Well, most parents opt for surrogacy when carrying a child to term is not medically possible for the mother (in fact I doubt if there are very many cases where it’s done because the ‘intent of carrying pregnancy on your system for 9 months’ is lacking) and why not? When we transfer eyes and kidneys and hearts and god knows what else why not transfer an embryo? The birth of any child is something of a miracle in any event (and I believe part of God’s plan, in the Mahabharat when Devaki was pregnant with her seventh child the baby was transferred by divine grace to the womb of Rohini and Balram was born, so you see, there was surrogacy even before the test tubes when God wanted to safeguard the life of a baby.)

I know EXACTLY what you mean about sleeping between a two-cat sandwich! And yours are BIG boys…. much larger than my ‘little darlings’!
Every time I wake I check very carefully before moving so much as a little toe, in case I rudely disrupt one of my sleeping cats.
It always feels SO strange when I wake in a hotel room and realise I am alone with no friendly cats for company.
Wishing you - and all other cat lovers on the Blog - very cosy slumbers this Winter.
With love from Daisy
Dear Big B and Dear Big EF
My personal feelings, not to hurt anyone. I believe the Govt. should immediately take measures to stop surrogate parents. Its not that I am saying that God did not want this to happen, when one’s heart fails, he can get a transplant. And when a kidney fails, one can take a kidney from someone else. Till here, I can understand. But to use one’s body to reap your child, I am sure that this was not intended by God. The emotional strain of the mother who bears the baby and the parents whose baby it really is, is beyond comprehension. Whatever they may say, they will forever remember that this was not 100% their child, and whatever the surrogate mother says, she will never be able to, as no mother is able to say that she does not have a bonding with the child. Have we come to this level when we can let our bodies be used by someone else and then, just live on as it is?
Maybe as a man I cannot understand the depth of the feeling, but I am sure, every woman here on the forum will agree that you cannot just grow a child in yourself and then just let it go, because of a few thousand bucks. All the wealth of the world cannot buy back the emotion the mother will have for the baby she bore, but she just didn’t have.
Its just playing against God’s will. Its wrong. I see a debate coming, and I have made my point. As I said, my personal views on an open forum.
Love
Barun
Bachchan,
You and Amar are financially linked so why do you lie that its not so?
Amar and your finances are like ‘taana baana’ say those in the know,
So do you think Public accepts your ‘no’?
Not a chance even if you swear on Madhushaala and say so.
Your Dad penned the Tipplers Anthem and now a fan of your’s has gone mad,
He’s penned Bachchan Chaalisa describing your life from the time you were a lad,
Of course he’s ommitted out your tax and duties chori ka fad,
And he’s also not mentioned the affairs you’ve had.
Boo
For AB,
You know whats been missing in your posts for some time now?
The natural boisterous flair… the yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… the aaarrrggghhhhhh.. the comic fun…
This role of Pop Philosopher is probably making you all serious and sombre!
As also that pensive photograph on the top on the facepage. Its like a modern day Rodin’s Thinker frozen in Time!! Snap, snap, snap… no… no luck… its still there…
Love

Dearest Amitabhji,
Whatever said, done,positive, negative, yes, no. I would heartily agree with your question. ‘So, what did the child do to deserve this situation?’
Yes this is very true that in all the fights, conveniences, adjustments, desires, it is the child who suffers in most cases and it is indeed very sad. A pity.
Sp.Regards

ANAT MAGEN HERE IN ISRAEL…
Respected Amitabhji
Saw the news item about an Amitabh Chalisa. Wow how nice would love to get a copy. Where and how can one get it.
Lovely to hear that you are in Agra and heading for Delhi after that. Would it be possible for us to know about your plans in Delhi beforehand so that we can atleast catch a glimpse of you.
Lots of love and best wishes for Alladin will try to get the tickets for first day first show
Love
Sheetal
Dearest Mr.Bachchan,
The Taj Mahal leaves you always in Awe of the structure and the Symbol of love that it stands for. Like many others I do agree Agra is become congested and crowded and unrecognisable. But still to the Taj any day.
I agree with you about the Surrogate mother’s, but there is always two sides to a coin. Its a blessing for some who are not fertile enough to bear children, they can still be mother’s but on the other hand the Lazy or whatever the reasons for not wanting to get pregant and paying for having a child is disgusting. The question “what did the child do” is applicable even with the genetic parents becos divorces do happen with parent who bore the child too. In either case its the child who suffers.
Lastly, I do believe in what you say that life is a struggle….but no compliancy where health is concern, MAXS NEW YORK or our very own LIC. Healthy Mr.Bachchan is who we want You better believe it.
1. Dear Amit JI,
After watching all the episode of Big Boss I cant see more of Kamal Khan and it seems he is creating two three seance EVERY DAY so that in 1 hr we have to see 20 minuts of him and i must say this is more boring than Ram Gopal ki AAG.
If i would be allowed to ask one ? to Kamal Khan than i will ask ” YOU SAID YOUR MILK IS COMIING FROM NEATHERLAND RIGHT….
AND I AM SURE HE WILL ANSWER…..NO MY MILK IS COMMIMG FROM HOLAND…
Well you should try smartly with your language and cut him to size….
Best wishes to you and your family…

Dear AB Sir,
Sorry could not wish u a happy diwali, was away with family and did not have access to the blog. Came back today and read through the last five days blog…it somehow completes the daily routine..
Anyhow, wish you and the family belated happy diwali. Also, did u get a chance to read Chetan bhagat’s new novel - 2 states, I think it will make an awesome movie with AB Junior, Mrs AB, Mrs JB and urself…I am also reading Khaled Hoseini’s Kite Runner, and beleive with some nice screen play and vision (which obviously u own) it will make a nice watch…
Have fun..

Dear Anat Magen
Many, many of the women on the Blog undertand what people like you and your husband are going through, and have expressed our support and sympathy on the Blog today for couples who decide to search for a surrogate mother when every other attempt to have a child has failed. Please accept our love and understanding and try not to despair. I am sure you are suffering great unhappiness, but hopefully life will bring you what you desire so much,,,, a child to love, by one means or another. And if you read some of the lovely comments, you will realise you are most certainly not alone.. there are quite a few of us who have not had the blessing, or one reason or another, to become mothers, and have had to find other ways to express love and human connectedness in our lives.
With love and much sympathy, Daisy
Melvyn 315 - thanks so much. I had a WONDERFUL trip. I’ve tried to leave a couple of little acounts over recent days, without boring everyone TOO much about lemurs…
And I also left my HUGE thanks for all the incredibly kind birthday wishes… including yours of course.
Very best wishes, Daisy
ok
Dear AB
Well said about the last line…”So long as there is life, there is struggle ! Better believe it !”

Dear Mr Bachchan (Amitji)
Hello. Yep, I know long time but so with commitments I simply have not much time these days…
Interesting point you make on the surrogate mums and the oversea…hmn…guess you can say “users”. Good observation on the future of the child too. But do you not think, that those prepared to carry the child are just as much to be blame as the oversea future upbringer or parents? I would assume this is a matter of legal contract between all parties concern. The surrogate’s mum’s need/greed for money and the oversea huaband and wife’s need to have a child. Not sure if it was an article you read which prod you to mention it but nonetheless, one cannot tell whether this is the case. But it may not necessarily be that the cause of the child needing a surrogate mum is because another woman does NOT want to carry a child herself. Perhaps she was just unfortunate not to be able to carry a child and is left baren?
In any case, I find the legality of sperm banks, embryonic fertilisation and surrogacy too complicated to even want to attempt to understand them! And that aside - it is a moral battle so full of controversy for the legal system!! Best to leave it be…lol …
Sorry, digressing there. I dropped by, to say hello. Missing you and all the EF but I am so genuinely busy and too many things/stuff going on so I do not always have time…
… But I do try to at least catch up. So…
But good to see you are busy as always. Keeping healthy I hope…
Love always…

Hi Amit ji ,I am big fan of you and wanna be a superstar like you.I want your suggestion.please reply me.
My dearest Amithji,
Here’s something I’d like share with you & the FmXt
Can you sell a dead donkey?
A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day the farmer drove up and said, “Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died last night.”
Kenny replied: “Well then, just give me my money back.”
The farmer said: “Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.”
Kenny said: “OK then, just unload the donkey..”
The farmer asked: “What ya gonna do with him?”
Kenny: “I’m going to raffle him off.” (Note: To raffle is to sell a thing by lottery - draw lot - to a group of people each paying the same amount for a ticket)
Farmer: “You can’t raffle off a dead donkey!”
Kenny: “Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.”
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, “What happened with that dead donkey?” Kenny: “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00.”
Farmer: “Didn’t anyone complain?”
Kenny: “Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars.”
Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.

Hmm…I totally agree with Rose C’s comment #329. She stated exactly what I wanted to state. Perhaps its not because the parents do not want to carry their own baby to term….many mothers are unable to do so because their bodies cannot support a healthy pregnancy to term. For parents who yearn to have kids and have suffered failure after failure, this is a boon. Is it normal…is it right…all good questions that we can debate upon but cannot conclude on.
More later..
Love and respect to you and yours always!

Dear Sir,
I am an admirer of yours since my childhood but this is the first time i have visited your bolg.I find each and every line that you worte so touching that it has given me a feeling that i am not reading a bolg but you are standing in front of me and i am hearing you.Sir today you have motivated me..motivated in the sense that even after reaching such a height you are so hard working(Majorly you wrote bolgs after 12pm and after 2 hours or 3 hours nap you are on work) this has motivated me like nothing..i was turning lethargic these days but from today i will change this thing…thank you Sir
Day 546 #257 Kashmira ji… i cant stop myself clapping my hands. You are behind” Asha “… and we are having you here in the blog amidst us… all these days… !! i cant believe it. i wanted to do exactly the same thing which you DID and been DOING.. right now.!! but mine s another story. i could not open an orphanage and got married soon after my studies. i thought so what if i cud nt open an orphanage… .. atleast i can adopt a girl. But when i got my boys at a time .. Twins… then i thought its difficult to raise the third one… (as we r middle class people..!!) so let me atleast sponser a child. so.. i did the same… thru World vision… i sponsered a girl for 12 years.now she is big enough to stand on her own feet. ” Darshana ” is the name of my girl.
i am proud of you Kashmiraji…. Hats off to you. can i touch your feet… to get blessings… ?? In INDIA we do that naaa??

संबंधित खबरें
बिग बॉस-3 के प्रतियोगीअपने बुरे बर्ताव के कारण बिग बॉस-3 से कमाल आर खान बाहर हो गए हैं. कमाल ने हास्य अभिनेता राजू श्रीवास्तव के साथ बदसलूकी की. यह एपिसोड आज रात को प्रसारित किया जाएगा. राजू के अलावा कमाल ने एक अन्य प्रतियोगी बख्तियार के ऊपर गुस्से में बोतल फेंक दिया था.
अन्य प्रतियोगियों के साथ शुरू से ही बुरा सलूक किया
वैसे अगर देखा जाए तो जिस दिन से बिग बॉस-3 की शुरूआत हुई उसके दो-तीन दिन बाद से ही कमाल ने अन्य प्रतियोगियों के ऊपर टीका-टिप्पणी करना शुरू कर दिया था, जिसके कारण कमाल को घर से बाहर निकालने के लिए इस प्रतियोगिता के अन्य प्रतिभागियों ने उनके खिलाफ वोटिंग की. गौरतलब है कि बिग बॉस-3 के सूत्रधार बॉलीवुड के महानायक कहे जाने वाले अमिताभ बच्चन हैं.
Hi Pied piper,Hopefully you have reached Delhi and busy with ALADINpromos,my darling daughter gets the newspaper everyday to ask it’s has hit the theatres or no.waiting has it’s own charm but kids have a different feeling,she srub her hand and says why AMI genie (you) is not fulfilling her wishes ,for that i say he’s told me to do it for you. max vijay seems interesting but need to wait next year when i’ll be in delhi.well with so much tight schedule we can term you BB alias BUSY BEE also.ha.the major concern still remains for the health….how’s it still nagging pain persists as i could presume.take out time for yourself . her’s something very very kiddish just recd in an e - mail.
Why do we love children?
1) NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, ‘Mom, that lady isn’t wearing a seat belt!’
2) OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother. The note read, ‘The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents.’
3) KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. ‘Mommy can’t come to the phone to talk to you right now. She’s hitting the bottle.’
4) MORE NUDITY
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women’s locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, ‘What’s the matter, haven’t you ever seen a little boy before?’
5) POLICE # 1
While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, ‘Are you a cop? Yes,’ I answered and continued writing the report. My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?’ ‘Yes, that’s right,’ I told her. ‘Well, then,’ she said as she extended her foot toward me, ‘would you please tie my shoe?’
6) POLICE # 2
It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. ‘Is that a dog you got back there?’ he asked.
‘It sure is,’ I replied.
Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, ‘What’d he do?’
7) ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, ‘The tooth fairy will never believe this!’
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party.. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, ‘Daddy, you shouldn’t wear that suit.’
‘And why not, darling?’
‘You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.’
9) DEATH (I love this one!)
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased.
The minister’s son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: ‘Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole hegoooes.’ (I want this line used at my funeral!)
10) SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. ‘I’m just wasting my time,’ she said to her mother. ‘I can’t read, I can’t write, and they won’t let me talk!’
11) BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible.. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.
‘Mama, look what I found,’ the boy called out.. ‘What have you got there, dear?’ With astonishment in the young boy’s voice, he answered, ‘I think it’s Adam’s underwear!’
IF THIS DIDN’T BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY, GO BACK TO BED AND FORGET IT!!!

Dear Amitji,
On the subject of Surrogate Mothers, may I add some more information:
These days U.S. outsources everything to India. So why not pregnancy? Especially when a growing number of Indian women are willing to carry an American child. By some estimates, Indian surrogacy is already a $445-million-a-year business. Commercial surrogacy, which is banned in some states and some European countries, was legalized in India in 2002. The cost comes to about $25,000, roughly a third of the typical price in the United States. That includes the medical procedures; payment to the surrogate mother, which is often, but not always, done through the clinic; plus air tickets and hotels for two trips to India (one for the fertilization and a second to collect the baby). Surrogate mothers in India, under commercial surrogacy programs are usually cared for with amongst the best highly advanced medical, nutritional, and overall care available in the field anywhere in the world.
In Anand, a city in the western state of Gujarat where the practice was pioneered in India, more than 50 surrogate mothers are pregnant with the children of couples from the United States, Britain and elsewhere. Fifteen of them live together in a hostel attached to the clinic there. The Akanksha clinic is at the forefront of India’s booming trade in so-called reproductive tourism — foreigners coming to the country for infertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization. The clinic’s main draw, however, is its success using local women to have foreigners’ babies. The business has taken off beyond anything she imagined. It has about 150 foreign couples on its waiting list, and every week three new women apply to be surrogates, including clients from Taiwan, Japan, the U.S., Europe, and Australia.
The government is actively promoting India as a medical tourism destination. India now has about 350 facilities that offer surrogacy as a part of a broader array of infertility-treatment services. Last year about 1,000 pregnancy attempts using surrogates were made at these clinics. This year, it is estimated the figure will jump to 1,500. Since 2005, the practice of surrogacy has been operating under guidelines established by the Indian Council of Medical Research, a government body. But a new law is in the works that aims to regulate the surrogacy industry by standardizing such things as contract terms and surrogate compensation, which currently ranges from about $2,000 to $10,000. To avoid potential legal disputes, it will also govern what parental information is given on birth certificates. What’s more, the new law, which could be introduced in Parliament as early as December, would require clinics to register surrogacy cases and report their outcomes. At the end of the day, we’re going to have statistics, which is very important, partly because of the implications for India’s burgeoning medical-tourism industry.
A world of incredible financial inequity and a culture that tells potential parents that only a child made from their egg and sperm is really a child of their own, has led to Western couples using Indian surrogate mothers to bear their genetically related children. The benefits are: Indian women earn more than they otherwise could, and infertile couples get a genetically related child. The clinics in India feel that this vital service they are providing is a ‘win-win’ situation for both the parties, ” we are facilitating each one of them to achieve what none of them could achieve on their own.” Having a child is deep emotional experience. Would these Indian women be willing to give away their babies if it was not for money? However, the fertility specialists running this industry argue, “Many surrogate mothers see this not as ‘handing over’ the baby, but as ‘handing back’ the baby, as the baby was never theirs to keep.”

Good Evening King,
ready to return to Mumbai??? have U met with Ur grandchildren??
Surrogate motherhood ! quite a new term for me as well as the idea. when science gives us oppertunities to overcome our drawbacks, we utilise to keep ourselves in comfort zone. how pity……… we r going forward or backward ?
I have just finished the interview of our beloved Mr. Sujoy Ghosh about Aladin. he described openly about the film and the casts like, U, Sanjay Dutt and Riteish. He described U as Film School. So nice to hear such appreciation for us, Ur EF.
When everybody is busy for getting ticket for Aladin, I’m not, coz son’s 3rd term exam. will watch it after exam gets over.
have a safe journey.
love U

Dear ANAT MAGEN,
I m with you lady. I didn’t like the tone of blog on surrogacy either. Don’t think much about what Mr. Bachchan has to say. It’s his views - old and outdated.
There is a lot of pain and suffering in the world. I pray God fill your world with all hope and happiness in the world.
Ways that bring a child in the world can never be “impersonal”, “pitiful” and “unreal”. Surrogacy or adoption - these options are very personal and emotional. If someone wants to look at only “money” aspect of it, they are away from reality and pain and suffering in the world. All they feel is “disgust” and “helplessness” for those that continue to suffer.ha!
May God fulfill your every desire and bring joys in your world. Hang in there. Good things do happen to good people.
love
Anjali

Dear Amitji,
like most i feel too that technology is taking over our lives, sometimes it is a boon and sometimes a disadvantage, i think we should sensibly strike a good balance as to how much we should make use of technology and where to make do without it to not become the slaves of modern technologies. Where human touch is needed we should not use technology to emote like meeting up a friend over a coffee should not be substituted with online web chat.
Facts of Surrogate Motherhood known from you are shocking. It’s like India has become cheapest option for the rest of the world for any services they might need. More then shocking it’s sad.
With a heavy heart
Respect and love

Hi Amitji,
When I joined the blog, I cannot remember when, it was about reading what you had to say and responding. Now there are so many people interacting through the blog so it is becoming a more powerful network for the EF to exchange wishes etc, for example the numerous birthday wishes for my 1 year old son Kavin. Thank you to all those who sent kind wishes.
You have created a webspace for friends to share your thoughts and we listen and speak in response day in day out. To unite us as EF, we have one common purpose and that is the love of the one and only Legend, the No.1 actor in the galaxy, the simply brilliant Amitabh Bachchan without whom I would not be speaking to so many other people around the world. Thank you for this wonderful blog which is more powerful than the voice of the media.
Love and Best Wishes to everyone
Naresh
very funny

ye pic blog mey lagaiye ..
Today I’m in IFC where not only do they air Hindi films (although it seems they have run out because Sunday they start replaying them), but now they are airing a ‘Monty Python-a-thon’ every night with their films, TV shows, and a new 6 part documentary. I used to watch Monty Python’s Flying Circus every Sunday night on PBS and got to see them perform live at City Center. So it’s exciting to be working at a channel which is airing them now.
I hope your promotion of ‘Aladin’ went well. Every day I keep getting several emails from the SAIFF about ‘Aladin being the opening film of the festival, and last night I got a card from them in the mail with the ‘Aladin’ poster on one side,so the promotions are going well at this end.
Love,
Rochelle

Dear Lion King,
I appreciate the inlay work on marble from Agra but not the leather business. Animal abuse at it’s worst exists in this business, it is a big NO to fur and leather for me.

hi sir,
howz u??
I wanna know about misunderstanding between you and kishore da in 1980’s??????????
pls reply sir im waiting!!!!!!!!!!!
Through all time, love has strung beautiful art,
Does love now weave this vision in my heart?
Have two stars been taken straight from the sky,
Do they look back at me as I look into your eyes?
Love does separate us in lands so far,
Love does make this a trial so hard.
But if love does ring true, I’ll get to you some way…
Darling Big B,
Big Boss Season 3 has less ‘kachar-pachar’ and ‘gossiping’ than any other previous seasons…don’t know what’s the reason but it is more pleasant to watch it now…it may be so becos of any three or all three of the following reasons:-
1. Big Boss’s rule that nobody can discuss nominations..that created a lot of
dirty politics in the house earlier…
2. Housemates are either too mature or too smart on ‘HOW’ to play the game!!!
3. And the last one is ‘U’ r there as ‘Pop-Psychologist’ so housemates are
behaving properly just to make an impression on you
Whatever is the reason, it is really good to watch the show….
love u tonnes
Dear Sir,
Max Life insurance policy - Your words “and get a secured amount five times the value of what you put in in the unfortunate event of a mishap.” I am not so sure Sir whether it is AS easy as it sounds. Insurance companies are in the business of making money themselves. They shall their own protection in place i.e small print at the bottom of legal forms, own criteria and rules and definitions and ifs and buts and so on…getting over these hurdles is never an easy task for the claimant. I wish all well.
Surrogacy. Perhaps in a hurry you forgot to mention those couples who accept surrogacy as a last resort. Not being able to have or carry one’s own child can be one of the most heartbreaking situations. Having lived in India all your life you will be aware what a taboo it remains to be a childless couple. There are taunts inflicted on the woman by her relatives. (Can I just come off the track here…it is considered by some to be the woman’s “fault” if she gives birth to all girls and no boys. This is wrong. It has been scientifically proved that it is the male chromosomes that determine the gender, may the blame not lie with the daughter-in-law.)Yes, surrogacy does remain open to exploitation up to an extent and no more. You will find that wherever there are monetary rewards mankind (although not all) will compromise with ethics, makind will exploit mankind..thus in this instance you are right when you ask where we are heading..if “we” don’t question “ourselves” who will?? May children never exploit their own parents, may they be good human beings if nothing else.
Wherever there are health issues, one hopes there are choices too. May one’s mind not exploit one’s body..it is not worth it Sir. Please slow down a little more..just a plea from me.
Yes life remains a struggle and I accept that is how it is meant to be…I “condition” my brain that way so that it does not expect too much.. the sailing continues..and hey..we are still smiling..May Gods blessings remain with me..and you too.
Love,
Daksha
Dear Sir,
I am a big fan of you and respect your work and family a lot. I dont remember since when, but I have always dreamt of meeting you and Abhishek. I would like to bring to light a horrifying experience of my life, which took place on 18th OCT, 2009 outside your home “Jalsa”, at the time when u were waving at hundreds of your fans. Just to add, i am mot sure if it were you, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, or some other member of your family for whom hundreds of people were shouting and craving for. And I was being physically abused right there in the crowd.
Staying away from family, especially in this festive season, is tough. In order to get myself some relief from homesickness, I decided to take a walk on Juhu beach. Just when i was passing by your residence “Jalsa”, I saw a huge crowd outside. Then it struck my mind that it was a Sunday and i had heard from my friends that u meet ur fans on Sunday evenings, if u are in town. I cudnt hold my excitement (being ur admirer) and joined the crowd. I cud sense, that it wasnt a place for me and that most people in the crowd were ill minded. I decided to leave the place because of some cheap guys, but then i found few ladies satanding in the corner, waiting for you. That gave me one more reason to wait for you. And there was I standing in a corner with few ladies.
Then came a car, and the whole crowd got excited. There was chaos and a guy came from my back held me tight in the crowd, and abused me by his dirty touches and deeds which i wud not like to reveal here. I was shouting, trying my best to get rid of him, but in vain. Everyone was excited and happy to have got a glimpse of Mr. Amitab Bachchan, so cudnt hear me. Even people who saw and heard me did nothing to help me. I was so helpless and had no option other than throwing myself on the ground, to get rid of the rascal. His touches are haunting me for the past two days, and m now scared to go to any crowded place. I am too scared to take a BEST bus since Sunday.
Sir, you may say that i could have aproached a policeman over there. I too feel the same now, but that didnt strike my mind then. Moreover, i hadnt seen that moron so cant identify him.
My humble request to you is you should arrange for a divider which wud separate male and female viewers.Sir, have you ever compared the number of male and female viewers that come outside your house to get a glimpse of u? Is the number of your female fans that less? I dont think so. And if u think the same, have u ever wondered why the number of females turning up outside ur house is so less? It is because of the SECURITY and SOCIETY. All we common people dream of meeting stars like you. And this dream can only be fulfilled by getting glimpses of you in few public appearances that you make. We look forward to such public appearances. And this “WE” include females also, who, due the SECURITY and SOCIETY dont turn up. It is sad to say, that some ill minded people in this society and their dirty intentions cant be changed. But it is definitely possible to handle the SECURITY issue.I give u a solution to this issue and m sure it wont cost u much. And m also sure that at the end of the day, you will feel good to see more female fans turning up outside “Jalsa”. And better, if you know that you have met more female fans because you had made necessary arrangement for them to come.
Sir, on behalf of all your female fans, i would request you to keep a partioning outside your house, which wud separate females and males. This will surely reduce such misbehaviours, stealth etc and DEFINITELY increase the number of females being lucky to get a glimpse of Mr, Amitabh Bachchan.
Hoping to see u once outside “Jalsa”, and take back gud unforgettable memory of my life rather than such horrifying memories which wud stop me from coming near Jalsa till when I dont know. Or better(on a very light note), wish to MEET the Bachchans (especially you and Abhishek) in “Jalsa”. Amen!!
kuchh bhi naya nahin dikh raha hey

Dear Sir, greetings.
I was not able to visit yesterday. You said it will get to a time ‘the only unemployed member will be yours truly’. wouldn’t it be nice though to have all the time in the world to rest but i am sure you are not even looking forward to not working. Being an ambassador for UNICEf is enough work not to mention the hours you have to put in for films. I doff my hat! I saw the preview of Aladdin yesterday and i can’t wait! am i right to say that you and Sanjay Dutt have a good chemistry? Greetings to the house.
Sincerely,
Abiola

in last 35-40 years this is the very 1 st time someone complaining about the incident happened (may be) with you__ does shri.Amitabh Bachchan ji invited you to join the mob or anybody else who stands on every sunday or any damn day?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
you have to take care of yourself as you are big enough to understand what is the difference between “VISITORS”, “CROWDS”, “AUDIENCES”, “MOB” all can turn into a CAMOUFLAGE @ any point of time__!!
take very good care of yourself before pointing finger at someone “never forget that 3 fingers are pointed towards yourself”__ got it ????

Hello,
Sorry for the correction, but ‘loose’ (pr. loos) is something that is not tight as in ‘loose shoelaces’, or easy as in ‘loose morals’ .
‘Lose’ (pr. looz) is in the context of something that is lost.
Hope you can correct the text.

dear sir,
pranam!
i’m an engineering graduate livinh in delhi.sir,i know how important you are for the development of our country.everybody knows your status well.sir, I just have an idea that i want to share with you.It may be boring or better say,it may be a kind of just a cheap-idea,but being one of the serious and responsible citizens of my country i think it wil be a good one if you think deeply on it and then take relevant decisions.entire india knows how your appeal related to the polio-compaign has affected the mindset as well as the treatmentt plans of this compaign.your restless efforts has caused a serious change in the situation of the polio-cases.
Moving forward i would like to say that we indian youth also need another compaign just guided and managed by YOU that would motivate the young blood to develop the country and remove the problems they face in their personal life as well.Sir,I want to attract your attention towards the POVERTY and the UNEMPLOYMENT problems which was the result of so-called Economic-Slowdown.i see you as a person with rich thoughts,so, i think you can provide some better solution or an approach following which we can reduce the effects caused in the society of young people.They have unlimited Energy,and we have a person which can give this huge energy a significant direction.your experiment in BB-3 are inspirable..if one can analyze the reason behind the task i feel he/she could get the idea of BB behind such tasks.and so i’m inspired of your TYPE of tasks given to BB-3 Aspirants.That’s why I’m requesting you about some problems.Now ending my words once again i would love to request you for the same purpose,and i’ll be greatly pleased if i get any response.Now i dedicate a few lines for you…….
“”jaise poorab ka surya naman karne ko sikhlata hai..
jaise pashchim ka surya gaman karne ko sikhlata hai,
vaise hi humko apni manzil ka pata bata do,
varna pashu-sa jeevan jikar sukh-chain kahan aata hai..!”"
–Dhanyavaad!
Amit Ji
One thing to Say
“Amitabh is Amitabh”. Nothing comes even near to you forget getting better than you. You were THE SUPERSTAR You are THE SUPERSTAR and You will remain THE SUPERSTAR forever.
I have only one wish that How and when I will be able to meet you in person.

Dear Sanjith, Shankar and Sudhir
The rest of the people like Renate, Kashmira di, Archana, Aishwarya, Sharmila, Mousumi, Vijaya, Satinder, Manish, Srinivas, Vikas (Kuwait) and Manoj Kumar Ojha.. and many more especially all my facebook pals Reeham, Rose, Reshmi, Ravi Malhotra, Kishore, Subhash Kaura, Naresh Kapoor, Carla, Zhenya Elena et al. Syed Kabeeruddin and AtoZ on facebook again..
It has been a great pleasure to have had a chance to talk to you Sanjith.. how very wonderful of you and Shankar to call me up over phone.. I wish I too could reciprocate.. but then it does not matter so much.. I shall always be here to express myself..
I feel that there is atleast one thing which I must thank brother Amitabh.. he has been responsible for so many good natured and extraordinary group of people into my life.. thanks brother..
Coming back to the main concern for tonight.. the train accident near Mathura speaks how avoidable things keep happening in India.. how people in India want to curatil work regarding Commonwealth games.. how important it is that some people’s names are not tractable in the voter’s lists.. how we are not able to set our priorities right..it is all right.. we shall make amends to that.. hopefully.. we shall evolve and we shall live upto our own expectations..
More later
Love to all
Abhaya Sharma

# 329 rose C, # 337 shalini # 340 Anjali
i totally agree with you girls ! everything & every story could have other side. one need to see things from different perspectives. i am glad options are available to those women who can’t bear a child or their body can’t hold it full term resulting into miscarriage every time. its not too far when one wouldn’t need even a surrogate mother. babies in true sense will be a test tube ones. probably a law would be passed that that would be the only option if one have to have baby and women can’t waste working hours in such silly things ! no wonder then Robots will be the maid or nanny.hmmm……interesting !!!!!!techno babies !!!!
Anat don’t lose hope & courage. wish you very best.
Kashmira ,i am so glad to know you are a part of such an organization . and thanks for accomodating my name always on your FmXt list.

My beloved Maharaj,
I would rather tell you that I am glad and happy about your post, but I am treading carefully and letting you know that the topic of Surrogacy has unfortunately not been handled with enough sensitivity on your part. A pity, really.
:( 
:( 
:( It sounds very anti and a hitout at those who probably carry a lifetime cross of suffering due to lack of ability to bear a child or even worse, be fertile and the inability for the womb to hold the baby for the required time. It sometimes probably is our indian way of thinking which makes us think so narrowly about practices that are now here to stay. My heart reaches out to every woman and mother who decides to go to this end to have the gift of a child. When she decides to opt for it, it is her last straw!!!!
I am so terribly saddened by this part, that I just can’t seem to disengage myself from the topic of Surrogacy and move on to the other things mentioned by you. So will stop right here. You will understand me better when I write to you on the 3rd. of November, so look out for my post ok.
Loads of love to you with a very heavy heart-Lily D’Penha-Frankfurt-Germany.

Yesterday when I wanted to submit the poem.. I could not do it.. and today when I did.. I had modified it.. I realise the important points which were not made part of my submission are reproduced here..
नही नही कविता ऐसी तुम नही लिखो
कुछ भी चाहे कहो गरीब से मगर डरो
उसकी दुविधा मजबूरी का ख्याल रखो
नही जगत में वैभव कोई संग लाया था
और नही कुछ कोई वापस ले जायेगा
भोले मानुस भोलापन तब काम आयेगा
जग को जितना तू देगा दुगुना पायेगा
….
कुछ एक पंक्तियां मुख्य कविता में इस प्रकार थीं
मन में उत्कंठा थी मेरे
था दिल में हाहाकार
कोई राह दिखाने वाला
नही मानव था तैयार
सिग्नल हरा हुआ जिस पल
तब पीछे छूट गया संसार
सांस सांस से कहती थी
क्यों बेबस हैं सरकार
नही प्रतीक्षा कभी बुरी थी
ना जलसा कोई बेकार
रह जायेगा यहीं धरा
क्या ले जाओगे पार ।
नही, नही भाई यह व्यंग नही है यह तो आपके मन की व्यथा है, आप चाह कर भी उन लोगों कि कोई मदद नही कर पाये, आपके तर्क से मै सहमत होना चाहता हूं पर हालात मुझे कुछ और कहने पर मजबूर कर रहे हैं, आपका आभारी हूं कि आपके ज़रिये कुछ ऐसे लोगों को जानने- मिलने का अवसर मिल सका जिसकी शायद मैने कभी कल्पना भ नही की थी । मेरे प्रयास से अगर कुछ लोगों का दिल बहलता है तो मेरा भी दिल यहां लगा ही रहेगा ।
दिल बहल तो जायेगा
इस खयाल से
हाल मिल गया तुम्हारा
अपने हाल से …

Satyam 159 - don’t know if you will see this so far down the line, but just wanted to say thanks for posting links to those two fascinating reviews. One question, I couldn’t figure out who wrote the second one, the “Thoughts on Naan Kadavul”.
Also wanted to tell you that I went to the Indian grocery store in my city that rents Indian movies and found four of the Mayalayam movies from the list you sent me:
Adiyozhukkukal
Kanmadham
Adiverukal
Midhunam
Watched Midhunam with my friend Mark last night. With all the talk about joint families in recent blog postings and comments, I found this take on a particular joint family highly amusing. Mark was indignant at the main character’s insensitive emotional behavior toward his wife. And he was incensed at his slapping of her. I do have to concur that the slapping around of women by men seems to be more of a given in Indian movies than in American movies, and I hope that it is a melodramatic convention and not a realistic reflection of the mores of the land, but I have my fears. Mark thought the lack of effective communication between husband and wife seemed a too contrived engine to fuel the plot, which made him impatient with the characters and the course of the story. It takes me longer to make judgment calls like that, being a Meyers-Briggs perceiver. I haven’t made up my mind on that matter. In this respect it is very like many of the Hindi films I have seen, and I suspect what is needed for an American viewer is using your imagination to transfer yourself into the cultural shoes of the original audience the movie was made for.
Regards, Phyllis
But thanks to your list, we both had an interesting and enjoyable film experience!

liked your both the posts and i totally agree with you.
surrogacy is not a bad thing but its a blessing in disguise. its a very sensitive issue.ask those women who can’t bear children and want to have their own children carrying their own genes,DNA ! why not make some proper laws for the safety of the child and entire operation.if some legal issues arise should be taken care in favor that newly born. otherwise the concept is not as bad as ppl think.
what happens in the cases of transplants? are those organs freely available as factory made? i don’t think so ! so many scams around that area too. why some ppl sell their organs? or why organs are takens out from ignorant,poor ppl’s body and sold for a huge amount !?
your vivid description about your Cats turning me into a Cat Lover slowly…..as you know i like Dogs.

My dearest Mr. Bachchan,
I hope the promotions and press activity for ‘Aladin’ was not too gruelling in that the press were gentle with you and proceeded questioning fairly, if that is not too optimistic! The release must be imminent, which I imagine is terribly nerve wracking for all involved. The public have certainly been tantalised with the amazing promotional clips and songs so I’m sure the film will be a humongous success. Sadly, I know I have to wait a lot longer for ‘Teen Patti’ which I am eagerly anticipating too.
Thank you for the blurb explaining the Max New York Life Insurance policy in a simple way. I am impressed with the conviction with which your write; you really are the perfect brand ambassador and quite ‘emotional’ about insurance as suggested in the articles yesterday!! Assuming there are no hidden clauses; it is a attractive and attainable package and I hope your endorsement will encourage people to plan ahead for their families. Sometimes the jargon in the small print alone is enough to repel us from considering these important measures. I think the entire process needs to be more welcoming.
A slightly frenzied day for me here, so just a quick comment. I do hope you had comfortable journey back to Mumbai to put your ‘pop philosophers’ thinking cap on. I need to catch up with occurrences at the BB house over the past couple of days, although you surely will have plenty to analyse!
I hope you are not too exhausted by now; look after yourself Mr. Bachchan.
My love,
Jasmine

Dear Amit Ji,
I just finished watching Big Boss and started writing to you - very disturbed and sad. How can you be associated with this dirt…??? There is uncalled for abuse of worst kind, both verbal and physical, that is being encouraged and supported for gains in TRP.
All our lives we have associated you with dignity, respect and healthy entertainment and have thought of you as a role model. Your continued association with this filth will be very disappointing.
Please watch tonight’s episode with your family and then decide for yourself.
with regards and affection,

Namaste Amitabh Uncle,
I am a 30yr old married girl…regular follower of ur blog…but writing for the first time. I just finished watching Big Boss and have been fuming since…thought would share my view point with you. Kamal Khan…(can really use some ugly word for him…dont want to stoop to his level) the insane man that he is just threw a sipper at Rohit Verma… and used very abusive language with Raju Srivastava ji …its amazing that nothing was done by the production team. I know there might be some action taken tomorrow but only after all members state it…..
I just feel that this man should be thrown out…and again this is my viewpoint.
I would personally not want to stay in a house with a man who is abusive and raises his hand whatever the situation may be. I am sure many a women/men who go through domestic violence were let down yesterda y when he wasn’t thrown out for his ghastly behaviour.
I usually discuss anything under the sun with my family and get my answers…this time i didn’t get any reasonable answer from them…. waiting to hear from you….
warm regards

“Max Life insurance policy - Your words “and get a secured amount five times the value of what you put in in the unfortunate event of a mishap.” I am not so sure Sir whether it is AS easy as it sounds. Insurance companies are in the business of making money themselves. They shall their own protection in place i.e small print at the bottom of legal forms, own criteria and rules and definitions and ifs and buts and so on…getting over these hurdles is never an easy task for the claimant. ”
i though of not touching that issue but couldn’t, reading your paragraph. its very true that those fine lines are never read by ppl or they are very tricky. hardly work in favor of ppl. in this case it seems like an accidental Death policy he is talking about. in case of Natural cause of Death family or beneficiery gets Nothing. Insurance Co. keep that money. everyone is afraid of Accidents and welbeing of their families but what % die in Accident !? how many to fall into Insurance Co’s Definition of Accidental Death ? its nothing but a business and no wonder Insurance Cos. are giants-making billions of $ $ turn over every year. its an industry like Indian Film Industry ! no guarentee at all to the mass!!!!! haha…….

I just finished reading the last part of autibiography of Mr. H.R.Bachchan. Offcourse the beginning was astounding, may be because of the writing and the unpredictability of that time but he tried to be simply honest I feel.
Such was the writing as I was almost living with him and seeing the things as he.
Do anybody has any idea of what after year 1985, because the last one ‘Dasdwar se sopan tak’ was till 1985, but there must be lot after that.
Thanks to Mr. H.R.Bachchan for taking us in the excellent journey.
Thanks!

Dear Amitji,
How are you ? I just want to know that how is your experience during BB3. how you feeling in doing show. hope you reply me.
Sir,
I missed the opportunity to meet you becasue of my work. A correspondent from my office went to cover your programme and the press conference at Jaypee Hotel.
My 27 months old son has now recognising people by name and face and the very first cinepersonality he has recognised is Amitabh Bachchan.
Your posters for Max Vijay have been installed everywere in the city and this has helped him a lot to remember you apart from your presence on BB3. He calls you Amitabh Bacchan Uncle.
Wish a great sucess for Alladin

# 472 - Monalisa,
I agree in principle to your comments and views towards Insurance companies. Seldom do people, less so companies act in non profitering ways. They are business to print money, their way. Much like oil companies. Incidentally what we put into our cars is what’s left over after they’ve taken the most precious materials from crude oil.

Well, all that is going in the big boss house is quite illegal and The Colours channel in pursuit of High TRPs is ignoring gross violation of the Dignity of, housemates and viewers in general. The women residing there are also subjected to repeated undignified behaviour of few participants.
As usual the Beep sounds are inserted to shadow Bad names being called but that doesn’t increase the sanctity of the show anyway. The show Aired on 21st of October crossed all limits with violence and loads of filthy language. The proceedings of the serial are in many ways illegal and subject matter of criminal proceedings under Indian law.
It’s highly expected from serial makers to stop airing of such an uncultured show on a channel meant for home audience. Either authorities, or the channel or finally the consumers of such unhealthy shows must take some immediate action.
Well if the Big Boss season 3 goes down well digested through the stomachs of consumers this is the start of a new wave of uncultured consumerism and taste with no regard for human dignity and values.
Sir,
Hope to see you at the forthcoming ‘MAMI’ International film festival being held in Mumbai from 29.10.2009 to 05.11.2009. The main venue is very close to your house:- ‘Fun Republic Cinemas’. There are some great World cinema’s that have been selected to be screened at the festival. The eminent director/writer Paul Schrader is heading the jury this time. The whole event is being managed by ‘Reliance Entertainment’. Thier website is:-

Good Evening Amitji,
Just finished watching Bigg Boss. Great Show. Your comments/views on Kamal Rashid Khan. Wonder if you are allowed to comment. :)) Take care and best wishes always.

A round trip to Mumbai… the linear city …. Devoid of greenery…. Laksmi in plenty….. but where is the fertile Mother Earth? The drive from Airport to CBD Belapur , proved to be cumbersome, due to the breakdown of the Ac in the city’s erstwhile taxi. Mumbai… the linear city … so different from Delhi the radial city and Chandigarh the grid iron pattern city, yet both the latter lush green in any season.
Talking about surrogate mothers; some don’t wish to carry the pregnancy , while some are biologically unable to do so. A dilemma… either ways … and perhaps a difficult decision … under any circumstances.
Yes, till a few months back the Nokia E 71 was rated the best in mobile communication technology , but with the Blackberry and Apple and HTC flooding the market…. It is difficult to choose. I somehow don’t feel comfortable with the touch technology. What is someone were to have butterfingers ( like my son has ), Imagine !!!!
Anyway , that is the lighter side.
How was your day at Aladin ? Hope your trip back was comfortable. Still hope to meet you sometime!
Ah !!! another thing worth mentioning. With the assortment of airlines, one gets to see a lot of in- flight crew and ground staff in all colours, shapes and sizes. But , whatever one may say, nothing to beat the in-flight dress code of the Indian / Air India. I mean the lovely sari in that special combo of rose red, black and white. Very classy!!!!
Bye and sleep well.
dear amitji,
hope you are well. just watched big boss. very distasteful behaviour by kamal khan. hope the channel will take stringent action against erring individuals. i personally feel that this kamal khan is ruining the show as well as the atmosphere for the inmates in the house. it is high time he is eliminated. hope we wont get to put up with his nuisance on big boss. take care. god bless.
lotsa luv

Mr. bachchan ,
I think you must get some facts right before writing about issues like surrogacy,it is offered to people who have trouble carrying thier own child for valid medical reasons. As about exploitation it goes on everywhere, all of us exploit the needy & poor at some point or the other. If we were all truly caring we would not be hiring servants, cooks… anyways infertility is someone’s misery, it is not right for a man of your stature to trivialise issues without knowing full facts.
I don’t believe my own eyes here!
Puja #413, I read your story and I am shocked that you had to go through an experience like this. I hope for you that the memory of being violated in this way will eventually fade and your life will be normal again! I wish you all the best!!
I am in the throes of serious culture shock here! Please, all my male Indian friends that I have learned to love in the last few months, please tell me that pop philosopher 2 #421 and Rakesh #456 are not representing the Indian male reaction to Puja’s story!
Really upset and waiting to hear from you all,

READING UR POST.DO HURRY OR WRITE IN THE

Mr. Bachchan -
I usually don’t respond to your blog posts as they are extremely frustrating anyways but I do take the trouble of reading them once a week for passing time and because rarely you do provide gossip.
I think you should think before you write such things on surrogate mothers - as many times people get into surrogacy only because they cant carry the child themselves and NOT only because they do not have the intent. There may be people do do it for the latter reason but by writing what you have written in your blog post - you have definitely been insensitive to people who cant concieve and need help to bear a child.
Only issues like Divorce - what happens when a child is concieved in the biological mother and the the parents divorce???? The child has no future if parents divorce whether or not it is through surrrogacy !
Your point of view but this is my 2 cents which you can ignore if your ego so desires.
MISS POOJA !
REALLY SHOCKED.CANT UNDERSTAND WHOSE MISTAKE
WAS IN IT.
SHAME ON THAT UGLY GUY,GO TO HELL ,U IDIOT!
# 482 - Ravi,
What are your views on KRK ?
Manish Parmar, UK.
For Renate,
Its not an all Indian male phenomenon. There are scores of people standing outside celebrity houses in the JVPD scheme Mumbai where AB’s house is located. These include Dharmendra, Jeetendra, Danny, Ravina Tandon etc. The crowds are not particularly fans of the celeb. Some are even beggars awaiting alms from them. Like in the case of Ekta Kapoor there rows of beggars standing outside because she had made it a sort of ritual.
If all of them were really fans of AB they would respect his stature and behave accordingly. Thats not the case. Mumbai is a metro like New York or London. There are goons, mugs and all sorts of street cons like the dark side of any other metro in the world. The police are not entirely in control.
These spots are definitely unsafe and unprotected.
Please do not draw any conclusions about a culture based on metro environments.

Sudhir,
You missed my point. Yes, I was shocked at what had happened. It is disgusting and intolerable, but unfortunately can happen almost anywhere. No, my strong reaction is at the response of those two guys on the blog.
That is what I need an answer to!!

last morning, on the way to office, my wife mentioned how well you had replied to an editors article. A great fan of your writing she is, and that reminded me, i havent read your blog for quite some time. I enjoy reading and have never written or explored the comments option.

Today being his 78th birthday.. I thought what better way to wish him on this blog which has become a way of life for me.. moreover he is related to you through your daughter..A great star who deerves every bit to be labelled as first true superstar of Hindi Cinema.. Imagine.. Saira Bano, Asha Parekh and Sharmila Tagore started their career with his films..
I wish him once again a Very Happy Birthday…

Dear AB,
Wouldn’t U agree that surrogate issue requires more care, contemplation and choice less awareness? Many FmXt rightly put their observation and bring new insight into this serious human issue. Following are excerpts.
“Does it make someone less of a mother because she did not carry her child in her own womb? Is seeking an affordable surrogate a crime for middle class person? Do middle class people have no right to pursue that course and pay less for the procedure if the “birth” mother (and i use this term loosely) is being also benefited? Is the child going to be less loved because it was not nourished by its nurturing mother’s placenta? ”
… if it is ethically wrong for one woman to help another woman to create life through pregnancy… where does that leave, say, the case of organ donation where one living person gives up part of their body in order to help another human prolong their life?
# 478 Manish Parmar
All along the line all industries mainly focus on how high return is in it for them . Duh ! silly me.. thats why its called industry ! isn,t it? starting from Pharma,petro,Insurance,healthcare & so on….
yep! yrue ! what we are using is quite lower Quality petro. higher Quality consumed by airlines & military planes. may be some other industries too.
every Industry is minting money with support of Govt. what can mass do? poor ppl /mass /common man ….get ripped off both/many ways. it hurts more when celebrity like Mr. B participates in such rip off for some Handsome amount of money he has been offered and advertise & promote it. where does their conscions go then? do they hide it or give it a sleeping pill then?? uhh…! (strongly believe celebrities shouldn’t indulge themselves in advertising or promoting comodities or any such products like insurance thing ) Are you helping ppl in that case or hurting their interest in a way? so many Qs come to mind but hey ! ppl are at liberty to do whatever they like. no one is going to face them off !!! they know it as its a common norm now in today’s world. You Scratch my back ,i scratch yours ! hehehe……..you find that everywhere-blog is not an exception either ! too many wiz ! heh!
but apart from that there is one Q i can’t find answer to is
“why it has to be advetised on blog though ,where most of the FmXts are NRI or non Indians???!!!!!”
Friends
Shammi Kapoor and Mohammad Rafi was that immortal combination of songs that I find it very diffciult to tell you about each one in one go..
I would be biased against Saira Banu if I did not tell you about a song from Junglee..
Tumne mujhako hansana sikhaya
tumne mujhko …
rone kahoge ro lenge ab
rone kahoge ro lenge
aansoo ka hamaare gham na karo
wo bahate hain to bahane do
…

yet I was not aware that Saira Banu got the Filmfare award for her debut film.. she did look very pretty and talented.. I was just two years old at that time..

its really very shocking if such things are happening. i can’t really say if it actually reflects Indian Male mentality. we can’t judge all by just one incident. but we have all kinds of ppl everywhere in world. Metros are not the safest places for women . i am glad Puja is brave enough to draw AB’s attention .Hopefully they act on it soon.
And this last song od Shammi Kapoor’s birthday for its extraordinary music.. don’t ask me music director..
kisi na kisi se
kabbhi na kabhi
kahnin na kahin dil lagaana padega..
…
kisko jug mein apna samjhoon

My dear Renate,
I do understand your reaction of dismay at what TWO men had to say to Puja’s terrible encounter, but I can console you and tell you that neither the behaviour of the men in the crowds nor the two who reacted like they did represent the whole indian male society. THANK GOD! They represent themselves and that’s it. My own husband is indian too and I know that he would not in his wildest dreams do such a creepy thing. So, put your faith and belief in all the polite, intelligent males (indian or non-indian) you know and get over that culture shock.
#Sudhir
You do have a point when you talk of world metros where violence and dark acts are a common thing, sadly. But after having travelled through more than half the world, I must unfortunately correct you that this “touching” and “rubbing” women in crowded places is very much an indian thing. Let’s be fair and say this comes mostly from a really degrading, creepy set of men, NOT ALL. I can tell you from my own experiences as a college girl that back in the days, travelling in a Bombay train was a nightmare or even walking on crowded streets, for that matter, which is unavoidable in a city like Bombay. The rubs and touching of private parts was (is?) a common thing. My group of girls to whom this happened frequently finally found a very good method that worked for us. We would carry umbrellas in our hands and the minute we encountered a situation like this, we would turn back and whack(!) the men with it, who were then totally dumbstruck, as they did not see this coming. A crowd would then quickly gather around the culprit and he had no choice than to apologise. Very often, we would appeal to the other men who came to protect us not to beat up the creep. I have goose bumps while I write this, ’cause today this seems like out of a story book, but it is unfortunately VERY REAL! Many women who have experienced the same and are reading this will be nodding their heads in agreement I know.
Recently during my trip to Turkey, an elderly man deliberately rubbed my arm in a “not” crowded place inspite of my husband being by my side. He even had the audacity to walk ahead and stand and turn back at me. My husband and myself were shocked. This was the 1st time I experienced this behaviour out of India. Any kind of abuse or molestation towards any human being MUST not be tolerated.
Phew!!! Today is a day of issues. Not happy. Hopefully our beloved Mr. Bachchan shows up with a new post and makes us all happy. But such is life! There are ups and downs.
Renate and Sudhir…You both know that I hold you two in high regard. Catch you privately on email soon.

hi sir……..
u really have gr8 thoughts……keep it up….. does abhishek too think so?????/
Anxiously waiting for your post. Can’t wait any longer. Love you.
yeh bhi koi baat hui..darr gaye fb mein ane ke baad….pehchana nahin??????
heh..heh….
vo oct 9th wala post kyun nikala???
For Renate,
There are about 1.2 billion people in India, which is 1,200,000,000. Of these about 700 million are male. I am not good at percentages on this scale but definitely two is not a count.
There have even been comments on the blog which have directly abused AB and he has still passed them in moderation.
We are not here to impose our values on one another. We share what we have. No one needs to feel challenged.
Please let go.

You keep on entertaining us with some old soulful songs of hindi films.
shammi kapoor and rajendra kumar acted in many hit films and the credit for their success was equally shared by their friends shankar-jaikishan. the music maestros composed most of the songs picturised on shammi kapoor and rajendra kumar.
awaaz deke hamen tum bulao—-,baharo phool barsao—- ehsaan tera hoga—-teri pyari pyari surat ko—-dil ke jharoke mein—dil use do jo jaan dede—-
yeh mera prem patr padkar—main chali main chali—–is rang badalti duniya mein—–and hundreds of hit songs of SHANKAR-JAIKISHAN were picturised on above two actors.
#507, where in Bomaby are u talking about and when , seems veryuntrue, eve teasing was at its minaml, why did u not go in the ladies compartment of the trains ? how did u dress up? I never experienced that in Bombay, and trust me I am one of the good looking ones too
Jasmine ,
Thanks for the wishes ..Boss is very humble..
Take care

It doesn’t matter if you are good looking or not. Those that eve-tease don’t think on those terms! You will find eve-teasing in any part of India - we don’t need to defend Bombay or any other society. It’s a *yucky* thing in some male genes. Having said that majority Indian males treat a girl with utmost respect in the form of a friend, sister, mother, grand mother, Goddess. If you ever been to Mexico, you will find *similar* behavior too.
Eve-teasing is not an Indian thing! It’s a *male* thing.
well, watched todays bbb3 epi just now! have followed it on and off…
so much of abuse there..shocking! people behave differently under stress. they probably dont even know what they are doing right now.
will tune in over w/e.
Hello Mr.Bachchan,
I hope all is fine with you. I am a 22-year old who has had all the love,care and support from my parents. Both of them have sacrificed their happiness, their pleasures and desires just for mine and my brother’s education and happiness.
Until a year ago, I never realized these things thinking of them as from another generation. Staying away from home for 6 years (Kota, Dubai and now US) for education has somehow made me realize their worth and all that they did for me.
In the same vein, they never ask for things or do not voice their inner most desires since me and my brother are first. They have sacrificed so much that for my dad, his humble business is his only life and my mom However, once when me and my parents had a friendly talk, both of them said that they wish to see you, Amitabh Bachchan once in their life. We are from South India and when my mom and dad settled down in Mumbai, they knew no Hindi but now are as fluent as anyone can be. That says a lot of the love they have for you. Apart from their love for Tamil songs and literature, they like only your movies. I guess we have seen a lot of your movies over and over again everytime gushing about how impressive the performance was.
I know amidst this barrage of comments, my humble request will most likely be lost but I can only hope that you see this and meet just the one time with them.
My parents live in Vile Parle (E) and I would love to gift them a brief coffee or talk with you. This is something I would love to give them given that I am still studying and do not earn yet. It’s just my way of saying that I love them in a different way.
If ever you think of accepting this request, please do contact me via email.
Thanks,

hi big boss,

I am so shocked at what happened, I am so sorry.
To all those who says that she should take better care of yourself, please understand, in a crowd, there are hardly ways to take care of yourself, especially if you are surrounded by a unruly crowd that does nothing to help you.
Groping and harassing is a very Indian trend, though its of course not that all Indians are not like that, but in a crowd, where people are below a certain, shall I say, type, all resort to such behavior. Who among you have not a wife, sister, friend who has not got such treatment? And its most prevelant in our country than in others.
We need to educate, punish, and deal with this problem.
I think this is also linked to the Indian mentality of lacking discipline. Look at the traffic, you’ll know. I hate to see that the same Indians who are united in war or cricket, will behave like a savage in crowds, in streets, while driving. Our country cannot have true progress before we teach discipline to our people, respect to fellow human. No amount of money will make us the best nation in the world as long as our people are poor in their hearts.
Not all of us are, but those that are, are the rotten apples we have to take care of, as the whole bunch of us stinks because of them.
Love
Barun

Kindly visit my blogsite if and when you get time. Your comments would be a real morale booster.

Dear Sir,
I am a passive reader of your blog but today I felt the need to write in.
A lot in my life has turned upside down and I am basically at a difficult spot.
Things are getting worse and when I read your comment on life and struggle being twined, I wonder if you can riddle me this - where does one draw this extra strength to overcome ?
I need a sign.
Thx
Teamed up with nature who calls this “the earth village” and says why do people go “earth senile”? In my opinion, it is because we only know so much. Like “the trees”, we are felled one by one. This wisdom was tested by me a little bit in “The Lord of the Rings”.
Abishek Bachchan has a new study partner for Robotics in Akshay Kumar. Choices for Abishek Bachchan: MIT (Boston), SUNY @Buffalo and either Harvard or a third choice. Choices for Hrithik Roshan: Stanford, SUNY (State University of New York)@Buffalo and University of California UC@Berkeley. They can play squash or racquet ball at the indoor stadium + gym in Amherst (North campus) of SUNYB or shuttle badminton in the San Francisco bay area.
For Amitabh Bachchan & Shah Rukh Khan, its either the Executive MBA at UC Berkeley or Evening & Weekend MBA at UC Berkeley (where I met several esteemed silicon valley professionals). Of course, you could both apply to the London Business School (#1 in International mobility). I trust you can take it from here. Priyanka Chopra, MTV Ganesh & Pooja Gandhi (from Kannada land’s Mungaru Male) have dropped out. Priyanka Chopra wants to have a shelf life of about 5 to 10 years in movies, make money & retire to the USA (a little bit like Madhuri Dixit’s life). After that, what next? See my blog for more info.

Good morning Sir,
I dont know how to contact you personally. Pl feel free to mail me at kishanramesh@gmail.com..
I am Kishan from bangalore. I dont know if you have noticed me or my comments in your blog or not. I have been your ardent FAN from past 25 years and i’ve been reading your blog from day one. I am a s/w engg coming from a very humble background. I grew up watching your films. You are the most ideal person i’ve ever known. When i say, i’ve ever known, its one sided. You dont know me. There are billions of fans like me, who would love to be with you, hug you and cuddle you to glory. Anyways, coming back to the point, i’m getting married this November on 18th n 19th in Bangalore. Request your gracious presence along with your family to come and bless us in our wedding. It would the greatest gift of my life. Im already imagining this sir :’) I know this is kind of extravagant to you. But, this is a sincere request sir. Will be waiting for your reply. Thank you Sir.
God bless all

Hello Amitabh ji
Now that your film has bombed badly …. now what.
Aladin would never have made any affect.
The films hero revealed the whole movie on the promos and interviews…foolish ritesh and jacqueline.
next is PAA i suppose….
like cheeni kum it will be applauded in the critics circle….but wont be a hit.
i dont understand , how you ..after all these years are failing to choose good films.
Do you want a good script . i will give you.
I am a script writer myself…
But please sir, stops making films for friends, in friendship, for relative….make films for the people.
We have lot of expectations from you.
bye
I read here with great amusement that couples unable to have children normally, ‘yearn’ for them. Why do they ‘yearn’ for them? Because they don’t have anything else in common with each other to bind them together throughout their lives? Because they want to pour their love on the children? if they have so much love why can’t they just pour it on each other and rest of the humanity?
