7 Days to PAA releasing December 4th 2009
27th November 2009 … my Father’s birthday … 102 years. A small prayer and a thought for him early in the morning as I leave for Lonavala to attend to commitments of the Bigg Boss and through out the day he remains in my mind and body. Apart from the regular protocol at the sets of BB3, there is sufficient talk of PAA and how it can be incorporated in the day’s events. But that is the film. What of the real Pa ?
To those that get evicted there is a strain of thought that weighs heavily with father son relationships. Of relationships that went wrong and that would never repair. Of despair and remorse within those that have through some unfortunate reason, been ignored or not had opportunity for attention from their peers. It is a sad moment and one that I would sincerely wish never occurs in any of our lives. But it does at times and it is for those times that one advises and prepares the subject. Not all advice makes sense. Not all advise is readily adhered to and complied with. There is an independence in attitude as one grows into the world. The freedom from being stifled into submission. It is almost childlike. But seek not an excuse for insipid behaviour. Remember always, that we shall ever remain a child ; uncertain, unsteady, imbalanced in the eyes of our elders. We can either accept this situation as a blessing or a curse.
Many among you would like to set off independently, without the encumbrances of being looked after. Many still cherish the overwhelming feel of being always in the cover of the elders. These are inverse callings and need a separate vision or opinion. I may love the presence of my peers amongst myself, others may not. Our circumstances may be different. But that does not mean there is a diminishing of feeling for the elders. I do believe that no matter what our circumstances, no matter what our desires, there is somewhere within us the need to express and believe, that what we express is right, even though they may be run over by disagreement.
I do believe in the strength of family and its many facetted decorated tributaries. Through generations and time, ideas and opinions may change, but somewhere that basic culture has remained and shall continue to remain. There is no greater emotion than the love and affection that togetherness brings. Just being together, even when nothing may be done shall give enough strength to sustain.
There are endless stories of separation, but understand that the ones that talk of togetherness are much greater. I may leave a situation where misunderstandings develop, but will those feelings ever change that encourage me to come together. Never.
And so I live in hope and goodness. Hope, to remain away from the evils, and the goodness to make sure it prevails.
Shweta comes down to participate in tomorrows function. I have driven back from Lonavala after BB3 is over for the week, but the thought of seeing the daughter again allows me the reserve to go to the airport and fetch her. But as we wait, in a somewhat secluded environment, she quietly slips in and the house is alive again. Before we leave back from the airport, a huddle of people and the limitless desire for that ‘one bite’ is somewhat threateningly occupying the form of our hero Srisanth the cricketer whos’s tremendous effort won us the match match between India and Sri Lanka, by an innings and some 114 runs. That is massive.
Srisanth pulls along by the side of my car, notices me and jumps out to acknowledge the evening. I am meeting him after a long gap – we last met at the IIFA’s in Macau. He is humble and calm and full of energy and I congratulate him and his efforts. He is most unlike the aggression he displays on the pitch. But are we not all, in possession of such gifts. Think about it.
And think it out loud so I may be able to hear it even when I am gone for the moment …
Love to you and much much more …
Amitabh Bachchan

7 Days to PAA ..
Can terrorism be completed eradicated from the world ?
We can build a fortress in which we live. Purchase the best security systems in the world. Make our home impenetrable. But if a fly can enter, so can a thief. How safe is safe ? Your existence becomes so much so that you’re mentally living in a state where you’re afraid to live.
In situations of terrorism, it’s the counter measures, the proactive tactics and the preparation for such an event that keeps you comforted. Comforted that a city can respond immediately to any terror threat. Keep it’s citizens safe and retaliate against any form of intrusion.
A year on, is India ??
May I wish you and the entire Bachchan family all the best for your fathers’ anniversary celebrations at Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan.

I watched the match and was greatly impressed with the Indian team and their composure towards Sri Lanka. Srikanth played an important role in this victory however it’s a team game and so credit goes to all.
Love always,

Dear Sir,
You are juz impressive……….!
You always care for your family soo much…! it is simply impressive..!

Dear Amitji,
I wish you and the entire team of Shri Harivanshji’s anniversary, a great success. I can imagine how your feelings are at the time of your Father’s birthday- and no one can estimate the loss that you are feeling. We are fortunate enough to have His poems/ literature to enjoy and celebrate.
Congrats to Indian Cricket team for such a great win. 100 wins- wow.
love
Ashesh
Valorie Adams,
Where are you my poet ???
Love always,

Dearest Mr Bachchan
Fondest wishes for tomorrow’s event… I know it is bound to be an an incredibly beautiful and moving occasion, especially with so many family members contributing.
How fervently I wish I could be there in more than spirit… but instead I shall be in the office (yes on a Saturday) taking dictation from my boss… whose utterances are somewhat less than poetic!
But I shall be thinking of you and running my private mental countdown… six days to PAA and six months to you and poetry and PARIS… and who knows what other joys may arise before then.
With all my love, Daisy
Auro’s ‘speech’ :
http://downloads.bollywoodhungama.com/audio/09/paa/paa1.wma
I liked this PAA idea Mr.Bacchan, if you are at all reading this.
You are a icon in India and movies like this from you will help raise the awareness of these kind of diseases and how to handle these situations whether you are a relative or neighbor of someone who is suffering from these kind of unfortunate situations.
India is a large country with a majority of illiterate people, helping them know about disease will help us in long run.
Most of the time we neglect patients without even knowing the root cause of the disease just because there is zero awareness.
With God’s grace you have everything a person can ask for and I think movies like this will be a small token of appreciation for the public who made you what you are today.
Great effort, irrespective of whether it hits big at the Box Office or not you will already got a hit in “His” “Box Office”. I would like to see more movies like this instead of some of your earlier ventures.
Time to give back something to society who made you what you are.
Dear Amitji,
Congratualtions for being honored for Lifetime achievement award from Dubai film festival.
Love
Ashesh
Like other fans say am the first. I just wanted to say that. I simply do not understand why they are in that awe to be the first. I only hope that amount of love they are showing to you, they are loving their own families n other strangers in the same way. As I don’t underatand why would someone follow a celebrity like madness. All of them need more guidance, they need a GURU to guide them that this is just madness.
Have a great day, hope you enjoy the special occasion with your family and your father’s poetry.

Dear Bachchan saab,
May i remind you of my request for your interview through email?
My email address is
salil_hb@yahoo.co.in
When you have given interviews to so many journalists all over the world. Those who write negative stories on you get maximum response from you here. While some one who has been writting constructive points through out last 30 years is not getting any response from you!
Yes Sir, you are very very busy to read or respond. But you must have your office which must be taking care of a poor writer like me who sitting so many miles away from India wants to know your opinions on a very different subject.
Will I be lucky this time?
-Salil
my dearst Amitabh..
good evening my dearst…
today is your fathers 102 birthday…
may he rest in peace…i hope and wish he will protect you and your family allways..i am sure he is very proud of you and the family …..
i belive too that we all are children inside…every day is new to us ..every day there are new things for us to learn ….and we will allways be a child for our elders..our perents….they will allways look at us as thier lil boy or girl…when the family is united there is nothing that can hurt it….as they say about the fingers…when they are separated and apart they have many gaps and can do nothing but slap on the face ,but when they come together they sure can hit..
i am happy that Shweta is there with you at your home…
its true…when the children come over all the house lights up and there is joy all over…i hope you have fun togther,and make great memories…
may you allways be happy together …

Hello!
Dear Mr. Big B, first of all congrats for being honored the life achievement award in DIFF. I’m a great fan of yours, and I’m dying to see your latest movie PAA.
Sir, I would like to promote your movie through my site during the DIFF as our site will be covering the event live. Please do grant permission to do this honors. Sir, it was my dream to meet you in person, and I hope during the DIFF award ceremony I might be lucky to see you. I’m covering this event, it would be my dream wish to interview you during the event. I’m a fresh photo journalist and it will be indeed a career booster. I’m sorry if I used this section to express my wish. But I know you are a person who is very active in blogs unlike other actors.
With Regards
Altaf
Best wishes for 102 birth Anniversary of your dear and respected ‘ Paa’.
Subh kamnaye for tomorrow’s event.
And good to read about the arrival of you daughter. Regards to Shewta as well.
Srikanth exploded after 19 months of break. He had to come back with a bang. Right on……You bet…..
Subh din ki shubh kamnaye…..Shub naman.
Hi Handsome !
I knew this that you never go to sleep without writing Blog these days because
You are too much working these days and when you back from work or during
your tasks,you write new post.Thanks and I will be very grateful to you if you
find sometime to reply me along with my other Fmxt Friends,Please AMIT JI !
Ab tu reply ker bhi dain na !Waiting for it !And happy birthday to your Great
Father.Best of luck for Paa and you looks Too-Much HANDSOME in BB3 with cool
style and super ,good n killing looks !Just rocking,Keep it up Dear !
Love you verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry much,forever,
Have sweeeeeeet dreams just like u.I know that
I will surely have sweet n cute dreams because you

Take care,
Khuda hafiz.
It is Sreesanth!!!!
Everyday, we come to your blog and read a brand new post with utmost excitement and full of interest like some one is narrating a new story to us in bed.
You are very respectful, highly valuable and motivating for us (FmXt)……
We love ya……
Subh Naman
Amitji, family values as you mention will always remain with us. Those taught by our elders are instilled in all of us.
How great to see your joy on arrival of Shweta in your home once again.
These are few times I feel the joy as a father as you feel the joy to see her. The love that a dad has for his daughter is somewhat different to the feelings for the son.
There always has been something special about a daughter and a dad relationship.
Anyway, good to see that India has done well in their second test.
I wish they also win their third test.
Regards to you and the Bachchan Family.
Dharmen
Some of the EF thought you had gone to bed but I already know that on Fridays you post late after coming back from Bigg Boss.
Unfortunately, I never fully understand why the evictions occur. But after living with a ‘family’ for so many weeks, it must be a bit traumatic.
I agree that no matter how independent we may want to be, there is the human need for togetherness. Right now I’m excited that my sister will be visiting NY at the end of the year and I will have time to spend with family. I also expect that her rich fiancee who works for Google will be doing the treating.
I’m not familiar with Srikanth but I congratulate your team for the victory. It’s good that you had the chance to meet again.
I will say out loud that I don’t think I’m in possession of any gifts. except the gift of having had the chance to meet you and talk to you every day.
I have been standing outside in the cold in front of Macy’s most of the day protesting the sale of fur so now I will go to the gym to work out the stiffness.
Love you and much, much,much more,
Rochelle
Dear Sir,
Wishing and praying for your father’s 102nd anniversary, may God bless his soul, parents cannot be replaced by anyone, I miss them as I dont stay with them, they are in India, I am in Dubai. I hope I can live with them soon.
Talking about cricket, yes it was a comprehensive win, and the bowler you are talking about is Sreesanth and not Shrikant
I am sure it was a typing error.
Eagerly waiting for Paa, planning to catch the first show on 3rd, even before your premiere night. Feel privileged.
With lots of love

Hello Amitabh,
Your post was great to read and I related to everything you had to say about father and son relationships. I think the one thing that a child should ever end up feeling is regret in a relationship with one’s parents. Regret is a total wasted emotion, quite often natural, but a useless one nevertheless.
I would love for both my sons to read your blog today. So I will read it to my second one later this evening, when he comes home from work, and to my first born when I see him soon enough! I lost my dad when I was sixteen and miss his presence in my life even today. Fathers have a huge role to play in us women’s lives. Husbands then have a hard time measuring up to all those ideals, to that sense of perfection that we see in our fathers.
My father’s favourite lines which followed me as far back as I can remember was the one on kindness:
I shall pass through this world but once
Any good that I can do, or any kindness
that i can show to any human being
let me do it now:
let me not defer it or neglect it
for I shall not pass this way again.
So simple and poignant! The strangest thing is that I lost my dad, then passed out of school, and as a parting gift, my class teacher presented each of us with a framed version of these very lines which have found a spot in my many kitchens throughout the years!
Wishing you and your family all the very best for tomorrow. I am sure it will all go off really well and I am going to look out for Madhushala with the translation and Namrata’s drawings way up here in Toronto.
Amitji, you simply amaze me. Just when we all thought you had gone to sleep and there would be no post today, there you are — with your FmXt. Only you are capable of doing something like this — such dedication for and commitment to your family, the immediate and the extended, which I so admire in you and for which I’m so grateful to you. Yes, you have immense talent, yes, your voice, your eyes, your acting, your personality are extraordinary — but it is your inner qualities, your character that so impresses me.
So glad Shweta is with you.
My love and regards, always,
Jasmine
Dear AB,
Let’s all think loud and bring back focus on Paa. It seems Paa’s marketing and fever slipping down little bit and needed some extra effort and out of box thinking to bring back that focus.
Auro needs to play hard and needs to paint this blog yellow!
my grandfather used to have a higher regard for your father than for u. Wishing you all a very happy anniversary.
Prayers and tributes for your father on his 102nd birthday.
Nothing is greater than those moments when when all members of the family are together and the house is full of cheer, happiness and united in a cause. Your houselhold must be in that state now whilst getting ready for tomorrow’s big event. Admittedly there must be some anxieties as well but those nerves are what makes us want to do well at what we set out to do. My prayers and good wishes for all of you for tomorrows event to commemorate your father.
If we can all live in hope and goodness and away from the evils and do everything possible to ensure goodness prevails than perhaps we can make some difference for ourselves and for others.
Thank you for your thoughts today.
Best Wishes
Rajesh
u mean sreesanth???? At least get the name of our ‘real’ hero right??
How eloquently you have described the parent-child relationship, especially the father-son bond, the stregth and love inherent in a family, to be cherished and nurtured for one’s growth and happiness, and the remorse and pain that ensues if there is a severence of the sacred ties.
How simply you remind us — and yourself — that one is forever a child, no matter how old one grows up to be, and one can either accept it as a blessing or think of it as a curse and chafe at it, rebel against it.
I am sure this post of yours will resonate within many thousand hearts today — I know it does in mine.
Beautiful thoughts, beautifully expressed. Thank you.
Love and regards,
Jasmine
Happy B’day to your dearest father late Shri Harivansha Rai Bachchan..!
He was a poetic genius and great human being.
Love and Regards
hello sir ! happy 102..kyo ki ye ek utsav hi to hai..I allways take friday as my date with u..i allways belive that every good performance takes out so many things from you wether ur Sreesanth or any performing artist. How much paa taken out from u mently or physically.
apka bhakt.
Dear Mr Bachchan,
I think you meant Sreesanth and not Srikanth ( who is a selector now !!!)
.
My prayer for your father.
Also, many Congratulations to Indian cricket team.
Arun
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
I wish you to have a great day tomorrow !
I wish your father memories to be a great event for everyone !

You deserve such a great parents and they deserve such a great son !
I hope tomorrow will be your happy day !
Love,
e.t.
GOOD LUCK ! GOOD LUCK ! GOOD LUCK !
hello !
Dearest Amit ji,
So true no matter how big and mighty we may become we will always be children to our parenst. But realises this only when one becomes a parent.
Read about you attending Shilpa Shetty’s wedding. Is that right ? Were you among the few invited?
All the best for the function…
Luv n respects
Joshua D
Amitji, this must be such an emotional day for you — the 102nd anniversary of Babuji’s birth will stir the treasure trove of memories you have stored safely in your heart. Memories of the times when he was physically present in this world as an intrinsic and very essential part of your life and your inner world.
You have spoken of separations today — some separations within families occur due to misunderstandings, bad feelings, egoes. We call them estrangements. Some repair, and some don’t. I was thinking how hard must this other separation have been for you — the physical separation from your parents, whom you have cherished all your life, as their time came to leave their bodies, a separation due to the inevitability of the processes of time. A reality none of us can escape.
Nonetheless, happiness and satisfaction must fill you too — happiness at having had them in your life for the length of time they were there, and the satisfaction of knowing that you fulfilled all your duties towards them. Of having been a loving, caring, dutiful, worthy son. That is what one draws comfort from. That, and the memories.
It will be an emotionally charged moment when the whole family gathers on the stage at Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan. Your EF will be there with you in spirit. Go and make Babuji proud yet again, Amitji. He’s watching you — from a distance.
Jasmine
Sir,
Daughters always exude magic. And it is amply evident in your Baagbhan like post.
Evident to the extent that you wrote Srikant in place of Shreesanth.
Your post today is a must read for all Achiever children who forget their
parents after attaining power, money or any other dom; stardom or freedom.
Parents shall always be 1st priority.
I love the way you cherish your parents and I’m sure that their blessings are the
reason of your success. Brilliant post Sir.
Best of luck for the recitals. Have fun, clear your throat and mesmerise the world as
Always with your magical voice and immaculate intonnations.
Did see your video where you made a grand entry with Aishwarya at Shilpa Shetty’s
reception and was surprised that except you(your bodygaurds) none of the other
celebrities were carrying gifts or even a bouquet. Your gift looked huuuuge.
What did you ever give her Sir???
The two of you were looking so elegant. (Touch wood).
Good night Sir.
Love.
Prashant K. Naik. Surat.
My dearestbAmitji.. Today 102 anniversary of your Great Father.. My prayers and love.. Your Father is proud of you, I know it.. Your angel the keeper preserves you…
My dear., we always remain children for the parents, how many years to us would not be… Sometimes there is some misunderstanding and there can be even an excessive guardianship.. It is possible to accept favourably a situation, and it is possible to be irritated.. All of us on a miscellaneous can react to it. But it is our family and it is remarkable when the family is uniform., when there is a lot of joy in the house and all are happy., simple understanding each other.. It is unity and relationship of souls., love and affection.. I also as well as you, dear Amitji, live in hope also perfection.. And it prevails..!
My best regards to you and your remarkable family. Good luck and successes…. Care of itself, my precious.. I consider days to Paa… Let tomorrow will be fruitful and memorable., Have a rest, my dearest Amitji.. Good night and pleasant dreams to you.. With warmth and huge love to you.. Yours devoted Lyudmila..
HAI AMITJI
ON WEEK FOR THE RELEASING OF “PAA”……….

Papa…this is the word I use to call my father but now remains just very good remembrances…it is exactly 12 yrs 5 months and 18 days before he left us for his heavenly abode at the age of mere 64yrs due to Cardiac arrest and he was a patient of Asthma. The kind of bond I shared with my papa was a very friendly and in my life he never even raised hand or scolded me.
I too believe to remain among peer.
Saw you and Jayaji at Airport Parking where you were interacting with Srishanth, It came on national TV.
Wishing you a good get together as Shweta is in your house.
Wishing a very successful event tomorrow.
With love and warm regards,
Manoj Kumar Ojha
Dearest Mr B,
Hope Bachchan Sandhya is a humongous success even beyond your imagination. Hope you will also release a DVD of the evening.. Maybe it can be made available as a package with the new version of Madhushala?? Hope you will be able to bring this into reality. Also any way we can order this book online – with international shipping???
Also loved watching you on Big Boss 3 today. You seeemed to be wringing your hands a lot today.. Didn’t seem as relaxed as always.. Hope the weekend is great for you especially as the light of your heart – Shwetha is back home!!
All my love as always,
Archana Detroit.
DEAR AMITABHJI,

Dear Amitji,
An Hon. Graduate of Hindi Literature from Delhi University, who grew up on his poetry, may I use this space to salute the doyen of Hindi poetry, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, on his 102nd birth anniversary.
The most popular Hindi poet of his time, he was also the first Indian Ph.D in English Literature from Cambridge University. Snatches of his poems became instantly and widely popular. And, they became inseparable from the diction of literary and not so literary discourse: “Is paar priye madhu hai tum ho, us paar na jaane kya hoga; Kahan manushya hai jise kamii khalii na pyaar kee; Shyama taru par bolne lagee; Jo beet gayee wo baat gayee,”etc. He was the first to have innovatively popularized in Hindi-speaking world the words madhushala (maikada/bar), and madhubala (saki).
Very disciplined in his daily routine, rebellious, individualistic, and humane – he was a strange amalgam of these endearing attributes. The variety and volume of his experiences and exertions, and his contacts in the several strata of society, are surprising in their sweep, as too his phenomenal memory of things literary and otherwise. His was a life lived well, lived full. Above all sectarian narrowness, he lived the way he thought, the way he wrote.He brought the language of Hindi poetry closer to the common usage and bent it skillfully to express his innermost sentiments admirably well, and in the process, he forged a style and diction all his own. He had the good luck of having his readership in millions. Never had so much success and renown favored any Hindi poet and all that in his lifetime. His creative afflatus never flagged, which he must have passed on to his worthy son, the doyen of Hindi cinema, Amitabh Bachchan, before passing away. The poet Bachchan must be feeling proud in heaven on watching actor Bachchan on earth, especially on seeing him in Paa.
With best wishes to Auro,
Tilak Rishi (USA)

Sirji…The cricketer is SRISANTH and not Srikanth (who is former)…!
# 49 Manojbhai,
Yes you are right, it is Sreesanth !! I also posted some comments for DAY 584 in response to you however they never got posted. After reading Mr Bachchan’s posted, I just got that name wrong in my head also.
Hope you are well bhaiya ..
Manish Parmar, UK.
Very late n I should be getting on with my assignments which I need to submit by Monday 2 pm but hey! Could not resist dropping by and reading…
Hope yet again you enjoyed your time in thoughts and memories of your dad…always I feel both sad and happy for you at such time. Sad because he is not there but happy because you keep him so alive…
Well, I must close laptop and relax and unwind before I sleep, ready to tackle another busy reading and more reading day…life!!
Love sent…

Mr Bachchan,
I have been reading your blog right from day one & have posted few of my comments in the past which never appeared. Today after a longtime am writing comment as I saw for the first time an interest diminishing on ur part while writing the blog.
It is not Srikanth & Sreenath & secondaly India won by an inninigs & 144 runs not 114 runs.
Oh…my…Dearest…Mr. Bachchan…….How lovely it is to finally read your words…I wish I could explain…no, I wish I could UNDERSTAND…the blessed calming effect you have on me when I am together again with you through your words…If you could only know the day I have had today…absolute bedlam…
all HECK has officially broken loose at the Post Office…I started SMOKING again today…I only smoke between Thanksgiving and Christmas every year…absolute insanity…but…now…ahhhhhhhh…i am fine again…because i am back here with you…and all my lovely, beloved EF…thank God in Heaven for this connection with you all…I just got home in an state of absolute CRAZINESS…but after reading what you have written to me, I am once again, approaching calmness…
I shall return to you…and all my precious EF…in just a bit…gotta shower…
feed dogs…perhaps a small sip of amaretto…no…definately, a sip of amaretto…and then…you…

Good Morning Mr. Bachchan.Good wishes for your Family and good Luck to your Upcoming film, PAA.
Amit ji,
YES, YOU ARE RIGHT FAMILY IS VERY IMPORTANT. I LOVE MY FAMILY AND ALSO THIS EXTENDED FAMILY YOU HAVE CREATED! THERE IS A GREAT SENSE OF WARMTH AND TOGETHERNESS WHEN I VISIT YOUR BLOG. HOPE IT CONTINUES FOREVER.
LOTS OF LOVE (as always)
YOUR NO.1 FAN FROM UK
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
Congratulations to the anniversary of your father, it is certainly a special day this together with your family to commit . Your father would be sure very proud of your commitment and your love to feel in in every word.
Madhushala poem from your father Harivansh Rai Bachchan
“Haus des Weins” in German,
here is the first rhyme in the German language;
„Der Trauben sanftes Wesen wird
heute entpresst zu diesen Wein.
Und dargebracht, innigster Freund,
aus meiner Hand, werd` ich nun selbst
zum Trunk dir geben diese Schal`.
Dir wird der Segen, zum Genuss,
zuallererst, vor anderen,
die kommen in mein Haus des Weins.“
The verses move the humans to think, to rethink, to a peaceful coexistence in which each has its raison place.
His statement has lost nothing of its topicality to this day.
I am very happy, this poem it gives since this year also in German. Ohh yes, I am so proud to have a Exemlar.
my best wishes and love for you Sir, and your family
good night

Hi Amit ji,
Sat shri Akal , How r u? congratulation on ur father’s birth anniversary .
I watch every episode BB3. iam ur great fan. also of ur father’s poetry. The poem which you narrated today is my favorite and inspirational in my life. I read this poem in my school in 9th class, and till after 15-16ys after i remember it. It always send me positive vibes. Your father was great poet and you are very great sir.
my best wishes to you and your family.
Auro has come to stay in the home. Welome.
Life is a mixture of success and failures depending upon our deeds. We should always do the best, to have blessings of God.
My son has arrived home and spending the week-end with us. He goes back to Czeck Republic on Monday and will be back to spend X’mas holidays with us.
It is lovely to see him after two months.
Tilak Rishiji a lovely Tribute to Senior Shri H.Bachchanji. I am sure he is watching and happy to see all the lovely moments happening in Mr.A.Bachchan’s life.
My Pranams to you,your family and all the EF.
Hope Sweta brings more laughter in the household.All the best for the next few days. Enjoy all the hard earned credits.
I have a busy week-end. Will be in the kitchen cooking all my son’s favorite food.
Mr. B,
The biggest gift of Divinity according to me is the child-parent relationship and if that is steady then we can consider ourselves the wealthiest on this Earth or else the poorest.many a family has been disintegrated due to a rift between parents and the offspring caused by undesirable elements but if we cannot be swayed either way then no power on earth can destroy the love a parent-child have shared over the years.I still pray for togethernesss in my household .
U got me confused when u actually meant Sreeshanth.What a yhrilling win for India and this youngster had a big role to play in that.Am also following the AtP Tennis matches , this round robin stuff has got me thinking as to who will play whom but they are very interesting and a great watch.
Do hope u get time to read all the comments here.Lots of love and regards to you, oh by the way loved Auro’s voice in Bigg Boss yesterday!Ciao.
Sorry that was thrilling!Wrong typing.
A small prayer for your real PAA and movie Paa.
Love,
Nalini
HI GODFATHER
I am eagerly waiting for PAA & Today you were looking awesome In BIGBOSS 3.
Your Voice as an AURO was simply amazing. It was soooooooooooo cute. I am not saying beacuase I Like you. I am saying this because I have fallen LOVE with AURO.
THANX And Have a VERY VERY GUD DAY~
REGARDS
VARUN SURI (V.S)
Srikanth OR Sreesanth.
For a moment, I wondered if you were referring to our Chief Selector – the motormouth Srikanth.
Sreesanth did put up a good show.
My salute to Shri Harivanshraiji’s writings and your homage to the great man.

My Dear Mr Bachchan
You were on my mind almost the whole day,you are such an inspiration…I would just like to offer my silent prayers for your dear father’s soul.
I agree with you,no matter how old we grow,we shall remain a child to our parents.Like you, my parents have departed to the other world and only God knows how i miss them at times.
I love what you wrote about family togetherness…”the love and affection it brings” ….it is very true.
I am glad “the house is alive again” with Shweta’s presence.
May you have a Great Day,and wishing you and all your family members all the best for ‘Bachchan Sandhya’…. and wished in my heart that by some means i can have a view of this Great occasion.
Thanks for taking time to connect.
May God always Bless and protect you,your wonderful family and all dear FmXt
My sincere Love always…
Saroj
Dear Amitji,
My family is of paramount importance to me. There have been innumerable instances when my peers have mocked at my decision to cut back on work simply to be with my family. If they are doing an excellent job of managing family and work… well, good for them. If not, they don’t know what they are missing. My profession and my career can be put on hold, not my family – never them.
An apology, a little forgiveness, and compromise can make life so much more easier. Family feuds had kept my mom away from her siblings for a few years. I could feel her inner turmoil and pain as she dealt with her separation and her memories. Elders, on occasion, need advising and a little push in the right direction too, simply because they are just too egoistic and stubborn. Having realized that, one evening I just dialed mom’s sister’s number and forced my mobile into her hands. What followed was one of the most emotional moments I ever witnessed. Amidst tears and laughter, love triumphed and all was forgiven. And I realized I was crying too as I watched my mom’s relief and joy. It was as simple as that. So now I make it a point to apologize no matter what. No point in waiting for the other person to make the first move; life is too short to play the waiting game. Keep it simple, say sorry and – mean it. Whether u are right or wrong is immaterial, at least at that moment, because the person and his/her feelings are far more important to you.
You must be enjoying time with ur daughter. Warm wishes and prayers for the birth anniversary celebrations today and love to all at home.
Love and more to u,
Aishwarya.
Respected Amiti,
Your analysis of relationships and the child like element existing in all of us is so correct! The episode of Biggboss yesterday was very interesting as usual. I refuse to believe that Rohit has realised his mistakes…he loves doing what he does and old habits die hard! His eviction came pretty late!
Wish you all the best for today’s function.
The test match victory was indeed very thrilling and that we are the Numero Uno now is all the more thrilling
Regards
Shubha
Dearest One and Only ‘YOU’…So…you want me to ‘think’ about my ‘gifts’? And you want me to “think it out loud so that you may be able to hear it even when you are gone for the moment…” Ooooookay then… I would love to share my thoughts with you…
Yesterday was “Thanksgiving Day” here in the USA which meant I had to cook all day…well…actually I should say that I ‘welded’ all day…first, I
welded the macaroni to the bottom of the pot…then I welded the peeled, chopped potatoes to the bottom of the pot…and then, just when you thought I couldn’t do anything more stupid than all THAT…I left the eggs alone for too long while trying to boil them for ‘devilled eggs’…and they burnt and popped open…they really stink when that happens…I’ve always known that I have the attention span of a gnat…and that somehow, I was just not meant to cook…ah well…at least the DALLAS COWBOYS won their football game…that made everything right with the world again…but, that was yesterday…Today, since early, early this morning, I have been working in an insane asylum…a.k.a. THE UNITED STATES POST OFFICE. Somehow, THIS is the ‘gift’ God chose to give me…unlike other women, who are so blessed with the ability to cook and keep a lovely home and a happy Husband and precious Children….I am able to work in an environment usually reserved for men…and I am able to ‘hold my own’ there. I do not ‘lose my head’ or my temper…I do not cry when it becomes seemingly unbearable or when some innocent appendage of mine is smashed and/or bruised by heavy objects or sliced open and bleeding by paper-cuts or rough plastic bins…I take pride in being able to do my job well…and that I am able to maintain a happy attitude while doing it – even though all the while, I am thinking to myself: “OMIGOSH! WILL I EVER GET IT ALL DONE ON TIME?????” I try to never let it show…and…somehow, I do manage to ‘get it all done’ and I have never…ever…once been late returning to the P.O. with my ‘out-going’ mail/packages…I guess this is my ‘gift’…Have you heard about trying to ‘whistle while you work’? Well, sometimes, I sing at the Post Office…yes…I sing…Just last week, when all around me were filled with anger and frustration…I started to sing Beyonce’s song ‘All The Single Ladies’…do you know that song? Very catchy… Well, my stressed out co-workers were all laughing and enjoying listening to me…just singin’ away at my case (a small metal enclosure where a carrier puts the days mail in order by address) no one could ‘see’ me…they could all just ‘hear’ me from their OWN little metal cases…
but I hadn’t realized that my ‘case’ was close enough to the front lobby of the
Post Office so that CUSTOMERS could hear me…singing…at the top of my lungs…
“If you liked it then you should’ve put a ring on it… if you liked it then you should’ve put a ring on it…OH OH OH…OH OH OH OH”…
…….omigosh…….. :X ……….
well…after the Post Master came by and asked me ‘Are you…THAT… HAPPY
this morning, Valorie???’ This is when I realized that perhaps I should sing a bit more softly…but I also realized that I would not STOP singing…I am happy working…and I am able to spread that happiness to those around me… That is MY gift.
Did you read all these thoughts that I’ve shared with you?
If so, maybe someday…if you ask ‘real sweet’, I will sing for YOU at the top of my lungs…HA HA HA! I’m not too bad at it…promise! Guaranteed to make you smile and laugh!
Love to you…and much, much more…
Gud Morning Amith G !
can talk more about dem…. but dont want 2 do it in a public platform…. take care Amith g.G.. n i luvd da poem of ur dad,, which u ricited in bb3.
Bigg boss was so much fun.. iam sad dat vindu was saved but.. glad dat Rohit was out by minimum differences…. i wish vindu go 2 da final n den loose in da finals…..
Dear Sir,
We thank Lord for Harivansh Rai JI and thank him for you and kids. May his legacy continues for generations to come with the same respect and love. Agle aane wali saat pushte bhi itna his janta ka pyar payein.
Glad Shwt is able to join you. Only because of kids, house feels home.
Enjoy the full house and we shall connect with you later
Love and best wishes

Dear Lion King,
My prayers remain with you and your family on the occasion of your beloved father’s 102nd birthday.
One draws strength from family ties and I am glad that our culture is one where family and parents are accorded paramount importance. I am grateful to our forefathers who had made sacrifices during their lives so that the present generations are better off.
Sometimes , being in the company of elders can be daunting but you describe it so rightly when you say that in their eyes we always remain children and thereby imperfect. But with time and age, the roles reverse and they become children and we become their mothers and fathers, taking care of them. I always recall the way you would write on the blog about how child like your beloved mother would become when you would give here those gifts on her birthday.Baagban continues to remain an apt movie of the modern times that provides a valuable lesson to the current generation.
I am sure you meant Sreeshanth and not Srikanth as I recall seeing Sreeshanth in Macau and not Srikanth. Thankfully, Sreeshanth has gotten his act together off stage and finally has made a mark on the cricket pitch. One would think that cricket was his hobby and dancing and participating in reality shows were his full time profession. I could never figure out what he was doing at the IIFA but I recall him keeping company with some beautiful lasses. I also recall seeing him on a Delhi Bangalore Kingfisher flight a few years back and believe it or not, he and his girl visited the toilet together, much to the bewilderment of his fellow passengers . Ahem. But, as a cricket star in our country where they achieve demigod status, “sab kuch chaltha hai”!. I am glad he was instrumental for our win yesterday but I tend to disagree with your remark that he is humble and calm, his off the pitch antics in Bangalore where he is known for having rave parties and creating a ruckus do not bear any semblance of your description of the young man. However, I appreciate his marvelous job yesterday.
I heard the audio clip of your voice as Auro, it has left me shell shocked. I cannot in my life imagine it is YOU, the man with the sexiest baritone voice that achieves decibels to make any woman lose her sanity and a man feel pretty ordinary. If God has made an individual sound like him, or rather let me add another to the list, if God has made any two individuals sound like him, they have to be Sean Connery and You.
Love n more..

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
what a beautiful post from you, yes, they have so right family is very important. Traditions can continue to exist only if it is passed on to the younger generation. Also this is important to know about his to roots.
My mother died 9 years ago, but she is still around me. When I think back on conversations with my son, it happens that I have a déjà vu. I must smile my mother told the same words in sense to me.
“In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.”
!In each family a story is playing itself out, and each family’s story embodies its hope and despair.”
“Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future…”
But I think a friendship can be stronger as family and also have the bond of love and affection and beyond.
my thoughts hope and love goes with you and your family dearest Kashmira
and for everyone from our EF
…and now only 7 day to PAA!!!
wish you a wonderful day tomorrow and enjoy the event for your father within the family circle
Love
Carla
Respected Amitabhji
Saw BB3 last night and loved the poem recited by you.
I am in total agreement with you about the imp of family.
It is so very imp no amount of money can ever buy you the love and time spent with your elders.
My kids are fortunate to get the love and affection of their grandparents
Wishing you and your family the very best for todays function.
And enjoy your daughters presence as yes try daughters are Special.
Love
Sheetal
Dear Amit Ji,
Wowww! wat a coincidence! It’s by Dad’s birthday too. Today, wherever Hariwansh Rai Bachan ji is, he’ll be proud of your evergreen respect towards him. Truely, you are a wonderful son, a husband, a father, and also an amazing human being. May you always get blessings from God and may evil never reside around you. Sometimes I wonder, how do you read all the comments… Take care of your health, health is must and first before anything else. Okay ji!! time to go now. Goodnight Auro!
With lots of love…love…love..

A parent and a child’s relationship is never easy. A child will never understand the frustrations of a parent trying protect him from the pain, that he knows will surely follow when his precious one takes a certain path. But the delicious intoxication of youth is such that, you are oblivious to all warnings and all you want to to do is live, throwing caution to the wind. Being a parent today I understand my father’s and my mother’s trepidation in letting me and my brothers walking our chosen paths, especially mine. A daughter is so much more of a responsibility than an son. The cycle is endless and never ending until this universe or this world as we see lasts. I am going through the same dilemma my parents faced with me – and I think there is a God and His justice is sound. LOL. My little girl gives me more heartburn than I gave my dad in all my years. (She is after all my offspring and his grand daughter
) He loved me unconditionally and as I do my children. To me my cycle is complete. And I am contented – its a dificult path but follow nonetheless I must. My hope, my children will one day complete their cycle and feel as contented as I do today. Its a long way to that, they are but young children, but the values I received from my parents I too shall endeavor to pass on to them, as did my grandparents to my dad.
I am live thousands of miles away from my dad, seven seas across, but all I have to do is close my eyes and I can still feel the moisture of his tears falling on my cheeks, as I lay asleep on his lap, the night before I got married and flew away so far from him.
Dear Sir,
Good Morning and all the best for today’s evening function.
Cricketer name is Shreesanth not srikanth, but what is it in the name THE RESULT THE BIG WIN FOR INDIA…………….
I think SRK stolen my regards line which I used to write on your blog with little change………

Your loving EF,

Sir,
I think u r referring to Sreesanth and not srikanth
Dearest and most loved Mr. Bachchan,
My wishes and prayers for your father on his 102 birthday anniversary, and I wish you all best of luck tomorrow with the function you hold in remembrance of him.
Iam glad that you met your daughter today and I wish you will be having a wonderful and enjoyable time with your family.
I loved very much reading your thoughts about father-son relationship. Nothing of course is comparable to this warm and endearing relation between parents and their children. It is true that there is always the desire to lead our life independently and making our own choices in life, but we cannot do it successfully without the love, care and assurance of our parents which is the source of our resolve and determination, and without these values and morals which they inculcate in us. Their teachings with which they brought us always guide us in our lives, and help us to develop a strong personality capable of facing life, taking our decisions and be responsible for them.
Even if at times we do not adhere directly to their advices, but we want to hear them and they always give them to us…I believe that no matter how independent we are, no matter how resposnsible we are and how capable we are to lead or life there is always this desire to be under the ‘cover’ and shelter of our elders, seeking their wisdom, understanding, guidance and security.
Like you, I value and believe in family and its power. There is no doubt that within in any family many misunderstandings and disagreements evolve, but there is this strong bond that help withstand any misunderstanding. There is something bigger and deeper that makes us ignore, forget and forgive because we want to be with and amongst those we love the most.
May we all always cherish the presence, love and affection of those near and dear to us.
Will hopefully get back to you with more thoughts..
Till then…
You remain in my thoughts and my heart…as always,
Love you,
Rasha Zayed,

Dear Amitji
I am with my family On a much deserved holiday…they hv been very patient waiting fore everytime I went away on business trips…
Family comes first when it comes to anything.
Very soon Paa is scheduled to be released and we are all excited to see the film…
Luv and Regards
Shankar
Sir, I think you mean Sreesanth and not Srikant.
Cheers
Dearest Amitji,
All my bestest wishes and sincerest tributes on your father’s 102nd birth anniversary. No words can really suffice for describing his talent and his contributions to the world of literature and hence I would not dare to venture in that direction. But I would definitely like to say that among all his peerless creations the one creation that stands out and dazzles and shines the brightest is without any doubt or argument, the one and only You, Amitji. Thus we must be perennially thankful to God and Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchanji for giving us this priceless gift, Amitabh Bachchan. I wish you all the very best for tonight’s function celebrating his anniversary. Please share some photographs of the event with us.
The Paa campaign must have reached a fever pitch with all the hectic activities as is evident from all your posts. i am simply loving the Or I’ll tell Paa line of promotion. It’s just so innovative. We are getting all the more excited as the day nears. Also please keep us posted on all the happenings and events of the premier with photos and all.
Oh! I forgot to congratulate you on receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award in Dubai. Another feather in your jampacked and multidecorated cap. I guess you have to buy another house just for keeping all the trophies, decorations, mementoes, citations etc.
Yesterday’ I was stunned by Auro’s voice at Big Boss house. The way you spoke in a child’s voice reaffirmed my rocksolid belief that you are God. It’s just unbelievable that the world’s sexiest and deepest baritone can be thus changed into a child’s lisp. I also loved the sound of air coming through the gap of your teeth and your shy smile. It’s sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute and loveable that I felt like going inside the screen and hugging you. The way you have deconstructed your stardom is to be seen to be believed. This film will create new benchmarks and yardsticks of acting, mark my words.
Enjoy with your family and my best wishes once again
Love to you all,
Yours ever,
SASWATI BANERJEE

Thanks for the post. In case of Cricketer I hink you are mentioning about Shrishanth and not Srikanth.
So 7 days to PAA..Awaiting for advance booking to open..
Thanks & regards
Dear Amitji
I totally agree with u on the vision of family.it all depends on how ones goes through his/her life.
I am penning whatever I can through my iPhone…using my laptop will enrage my wife and kids…they don’t want me to sit with a laptop during their holidays… Got to respect and understand their feelings…s

Amitji,
I remember your father on his anniversary and I remember all his work which I have read yet..There’s still a lot to be read..I am 26 years old today but your father’s works effects me and impresses me and moves me just as the same way as it would have done some decades ago to then 26-years olds..That is the greatest fact which shows his greatness..
I miss him at my own level and in my own way..And I wish I go on reading his work forever..
I wonder is this just a co-incidence that I feel the same way about you..I wish I just keep on going watching your films forever..:-)..
Cheers..
Shashwat..
Respected Amitji,
My pranaams to your Paa on his birthday..
May today’s event be agreat success..
So beautifully u have written abt relationships. I got lump in my throat as i read it. So important it is to maintain and plough relationships.
Yesterday’s BB3 ended well in a way.. Though i was able to watch only at the fag end. Lot of lessons were learnt changes in attitude. U were as usual very affectionately handling the emotions. All of them could confide with u so easily only cos u are a such a person from ur innermost core!! U R such a ‘fatherly figure’.
I thought u meant Sreeshanth sirji?? anyway, u dont spare appreciating anybody even as u meet them for a moment.
I am sure u will enjoy ur day with the entire family..
The entire EF is also with u for the function.. heart, mind and soul!!! So there it is sirji, bachchan sandhya will be a tribute to a great poet, great father, great human being, affectionate dadaji… from his family, admirers, well wishers and his grand extended family!!
love u more and more and more and with pranaams

Dear Amitji,
It is difficult to find a mistake in your blog… but today i can
Correction: It was Sreesanth….
Amitji, Today in Bib Boss 3… I really liked your Babuji’s poetry and the word of wisdom you spoke in the begining….Please continue to wishper words of wisdom in all your forum in the baritone voice.. Every word of wisdom you speak has an impact on crores of people watching your shows..
In the begining….
“Baggiche mee Genda ko gulab ke rang see jalan nahi thi,
Aur naa champa aur chameli ki sang see”. and at the end…
and then your Babuji’s kavita..

Jeevan mee ek sitara tha

par bolo tutte taare par
Kab ambar soak manata hai..”
प्रिय अमित जी
बाबूजी के जन्मदिन की १०२ वीं वर्षगांठ पर उनकी यह पंक्तियाँ स्मरण हो आती है :-
मुझे न अपने से कुछ प्यार,
मिट्टी का हूँ, छोटा दीपक,
ज्योति चाहती, दुनिया जब तक,
मेरी, जल-जल कर मैं उसको देने को तैयार|
पर यदि मेरी लौ के द्वार,
दुनिया की आँखों को निद्रित,
चकाचौध करते हों छिद्रित
मुझे बुझा दे बुझ जाने से मुझे नहीं इंकार|
केवल इतना ले वह जान
मिट्टी के दीपों के अंतर
मुझमें दिया प्रकृति ने है कर
मैं सजीव दीपक हूँ मुझ में भरा हुआ है मान|
पहले कर ले खूब विचार
तब वह मुझ पर हाथ बढ़ाए
कहीं न पीछे से पछताए
बुझा मुझे फिर जला सकेगी नहीं दूसरी बार|

For AB,
Language is primarily a cognitive skill, a tool that is basically used for thinking. The other, secondary application is in speech and communication.
In my family, if you had listened to my younger sister, youngest in a family of six, you would have thought the opposite. Like a singer who does ‘riyaz’, my sis would exercise her vocal chords on the dining table with endless chatter.
Dad usually sat at the head of the table, calmly asking questions to each one of us.
“Vijay, when are you going to Almati for your research? You can stay in the guest house there. I don’t want you to stay with my relations.”
“Ravi, why did you beat that rikshawala near the college? You must learn to control your anger.”
“Sudhir, stop swallowing your food like a pig. Eat like a man.”
“Jayu, stop talking.”
My mom would chip in, “Let them eat peacefully. Have some more curry.”
And life went on as usual.
So long as mom and dad were around, I did not waste much time over God and philosophy. I had better things to do. Playing, dreaming, studying, learning, experimenting and generally having a good time.
Gods in his heaven, and alls right with the world.
===
In our family, my dad usually spoke Marathi, mom spoke Kannada and English, we, the kids, spoke Hindi, Marathi, Kannada and English. There were no rules about which language to speak in. Everyone spoke whichever was easiest to express something.
===
I began to miss my parents only when people outside the family started discussing philosophical subjects and theology.
The mission school, where I studied, had an army of white-robed brothers talking about God all the time. And every time one of them asked, “Sudhir, what do you want from God?” My stock answer was, “Nothing. Thank you, Sir”.
==
I have no clue about my parents private lives. I never knew they had one. I remember Dad was always talking about politics. He had been an active member of the Youth Congress wing in Khamaria, Jabalpur and was in complete awe of Pandit Nehru. We joked on many occasions that it was because both were born on the same date, 14th Nov. Incidentally, dad died on 26th January.
Dad often slept in cinema halls during movies. Mom enjoyed movies and also commented loudly in the hall.
I remember, we were watching Zanjeer in the theatre near the railway station. Mom was in the first seat of the row, then all us kids and dad in the last seat. There is a cabaret of Bindu in the movie, ‘Dil jalon ka, dil jalaake…’ As the song started, the crowd relaxed. People started going out for breaks.
Mom leaned forward and said, “The old man must be sleeping, wake him up!”
===
Mother was a teacher. She had mastered epistemology and practiced it both in her school and at home! Like, when I was doing my engineering, I would be immersed in these large reference books, marking pages, underlining texts, etc. She would take a peek over my shoulder and then after judging what I was trying to do, she would tell me how to do it.
“Don’t scribble on the books. Read them like a novel twice. Don’t try to remember anything. Go back to sections that connect to the next. Write down summaries of each section in a note book. You won’t have to remember anything during exams. it will come by itself.”
You see, I knew what I wanted to study, and she knew how to study. We were a team.
===

Have a nice day,
Aish.
My dearest Amithji,
a very goodmorning to you .
What a treat it was yesterday to watch BB3!
You looked very handsome in your bluesuit & very fresh, I must say!
You spoke to the housemates in Auro’s voice!!! which was sooooo endearing, the housemates were soooo overwhelmed to hear you speak like that , & so were we, who watched you , & in the end you rendered your father’s poem !Howlucky can we get??!! Thanks a million for all these.
Rohit got evicted, hope you grind him nicely in the ‘aakhri salam’, Ask him all sorts of questios that willl be difficult to answer!
We have to bear vindu for one more week! He looks positively ugly now, & I wonder why BB focuses the camera only on him.
BB should give such a task that whoever wins the task , will be free from being nominated. This will make the housemates to play for their life! & in turn make a better viewing! Right now it is becoming little boring. Only friday & saturday are looked forward to & you know why!
My best wishes to the Anniversary celebrations of your father at Bharathiya Vidya Bhavan ( which is a stones throw-away from Babulnath temple, have you been there? It is one of my favourite temple in Mumbai)
You must be very happy to see Shwetha ,also , please remember , all of us , here at FmXt , will be there with you today in spirit, on this special occasion. My best wishes once again.
Bye for now,
my love to you always,
kalpana kakade
# Aish.. U have done a great job.. very sweet of u .. repaired the relationships withjust a phone call. Was very moved aish..
Sirji.. a repair in relationships should only be on grounds of ‘forgive and forget, changing of attitude and understanding’ .. re-digging previous fights will be surely of no use.. it may surely worsen and bring in much more pain than before.
Hi Mr. Bachchan
Wishing u & ur family all the best for d special event on ur father’s 102nd irth anniversary. I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday’s episode of BB-3 esp when Paa’s trailer was shown & the reactions of the housemates ! Also Auro’s conversation with them was cute. Pls do tell him.
I believe that today’s post had a lot to do with Rohit’s conversation with u in Aakhri Salaam. The views expressed are thought provoking .
B4 I forget Eid Mubarak 2 u & EF.
By mistake u have written Srikanth instead of Sreesanth.
Take care
Love & regards

Mr. B,
When u were talking of Shweta i was reminded of how father’s esp. can spoil their daughters ,I too was indulged in and pampered as I was born to them quite late but they have inculcated such high ideals in me which at times don’t work at all ,believe me I have tried it, not at all feasible!My sister on the other hand is just my opposite , same blood but different temperaments!All five finger can never be the same is very true after all.Take care and best regards .

Hello sir,
Happy Birthday to your father,it,s lovely to see that you still have fresh memories of your father.I also miss my father and mother.
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH,big boss mein aapne meri favourite kavita sunaie”JO BEET GAYI SO BAAT GAYI”.When I first saw your promo of “paa”,I didn,t recognize you.marvrllous! I think it will be your best performance,much more than “BLACK”.You are just like a “WATER” it,s fill in any utensil,it takes its shape automaticaly.VERSATILE is much small word for you,your are a institution.I also luv “JAYA JI”in mili,guddi,anamika,and a film where she and sanjeev kumar ji played a character of”dump and deaf”I forget the name of the movie.she has had fabulous,fantastic,much much talented actress till date,she doesn,t get that much of hype,which she is deserved.BACHCHAN FAMILY-THE GREAT FAMILY.
Hi Sir,
First off, just wanted to wish all the best to you and your family on your Father’s birthday. The efforts you are putting together for the celebration of the occasion would have, I am sure, been appreciated very much. Your take on family and togetherness is true and agreeable. Even if in contemporary society individualism is a notion of choice, it is not possible without the family. Why? Well, to set off independently comes with hurdles you have to cross and sometimes may even involve coming close to giving up. To achieve what you have set out to do requires support and strength. And so there is no one better then the family who can do this because they know you and understand you more than you might of yourself. Togetherness brings love and there is no feeling like it. It is unity which helps cross all difficult paths. To work together is to make progress, to work divided is to make much less of it.
Regards and Love,
S
Hello Sir,
I belive you meant “Sreesanth” – the Indian fast bowler who helped us win the Kanpur test and not “Srikanth” – the Indian Cricket Team Selector and former Indian opener
Thanks for the post and our respect for your PAA.

Hi Sweetheart
Today’s post has really brought tears into my eyes. you are absolutely correct in saying that family is the biggest strength. I stay away from my parents but there is not a single day that i stay without talking to them. Most of the time I do have arguments with my parents but the moment I keep the phone I feel so disgusted and guilty that I even that thought brings tears in my eyes. I love my mom and dad a lot. May todays children realise the value of parents and respect them. I can write anything at this point of time. because I feel guilty. My best wishes to you for PAA. and I loved Alladin especially the songs and even especially your expressions in You may be. I don’t listen to romantic songs much but xpressions compel me to listen it everyday. That is your magic, love. Loads of love, hugs, kisses, cares and prayers for you.
Aniseh #29: I was very moved by your comment. Thanks for sharing your father’s favorite lines with us. What a co-incidence that your teacher got those very same lines framed for all students! Amazing.
Manoj Kumar Ojha #46: Your father was a wonderful man. What nice memories he has left you with. Truly sad that he was taken so soon.
Tilak Rishi #50: A very well-written tribute to Dr. Bachchan. He was a great poet and a greater human being.
Valorie Sunshine #57 and showered, relaxed and amarettoed at #87: I was riveted reading your latter comment today. That was an inspired piece of writing. A very graphic description of you singing and everyone else smiling at it — I could just see everything, and hear you singing as well. Lovely. You are so right — you DO have the gift of spreading happiness. I pray to God that you get tenfold happiness back. And # 91: Thank you. You are very kind to me.
Shankar #100: Enjoy your time with your family.
I forgot to wish Eid Mubarak to all those who celebrate, and I apologise for my negligence. Belated Eid Mubarak to all those who celebrate.
I hope everyone is having or goes on to have a nice Saturday.

Dear Amit Ji,
Namaskar !
JUST ONE WEEK TO “PAA”..
168 hours to ” PAA”….
Will try to see the first show on 4th Dec. ( I am not lucky one to be invited on Premier on 3 Dec).
And today is ” Bachchan Sanchya”… wishing all the best for the function where most of the family is contributing.
A SPECIAL REQUEST:
Last night I waited upto 2. 30 AM for your post ….but no luck.
Now i see that you wrote at 11.54 PM. which was posted at 1.54 AM and seen by FmXt only after 3 AM. ( first response by Manish Parmar,UK at 3.02 AM who, manages to be first most of the time).
SIr, the majority (may be over 90%) of FmXt is in India and by the time they see your post in the morning, there are already 70 or 80 or even 100 comments mostly by members outside India. Many who want to comment may not, thinking you may not scroll down to that number ( which may happen to even this comment).
We are fortunate that you are so committed that you post on blog everyday even by remaining awake at those unearthly hours(and depriving yourself that much needed sleep) when rest of India is sleeping, for which we will be always indebted to you. But most of your postings are between 1AM and 4 AM ( very convinient time for people from UK, USA and rest of the western world).
Sir, I have a suggestion. Whatever time you write, but let the posting be done at a particlar time, say 6 AM. This way people will know when to expect your next blog, also encouraging more Indian EF members to comment otherwise we will continue to see first 50 to 100 comments by NRIs and foreigners.
I know this sugeestion will not go well with mebers like Manish Parmar, rochelle, ANAT MAGEN, Carla, Jasmine,Valorie Adams, No.1 Fan From UK, SALIL DALAL, MANOJ KUMAR OJHA etc., but members like Abhay Sharma, Aishwwarya TVM, Vishan lal may agree with me.
What do you think FmXt ?
Once again, best wishes for today’s function.
Anil Sharma

Normally, Amit Ji doesn’t make such mistake.
May be he met SHRIKANTH at Mumbai Airpot. Kanpur Match was over around 3 PM. Shrisanth might not have reached Mumbai airport that early. Just a thought.

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
To parents their children will forever remain children. We may sometimes feel stifled by their never ending concern for us and our well being. But when they are gone, we yearn for them and their comforting presence and demeanor. This is a great irony, but life goes on.

Dear Sir,
Wish a great Day Today , All good Wishes for the Event Today.
Dear Amit ji
Goodmorning, and best wishes to you and to your family for today’s function..
RAASTE KITNE BHI MOD LETE HO, EK DIN MANZIL TO ZAROOR AAYEGI…..
Amithji,
You said something about the missing love for Auro. Waiting for the whole story on the 4th.
The energy and enthussiasm of Srisanth is somthing unique. I has seen in many occations if other side of the personality. Very emotional. Still I could not make out the real Srisanth. Good luck to him and India.
Good luch and God bless you .

Most Respected & Reverred Brother
Sadar Charan Sparsh and Good Morning,
It was last night that after watching Abhimaan I wanted to write my immediate response after seeing it for some fourth or fifth time.. everytime I find something new to discover in the movie.. This time I found that Sachin Dev Burman was amongst the list of playback Singers..
My immediate reaction was to tell you that I find it very difficult to compare and contrast Abhimaan versus Deewar.. I fail to rationally conclude which is more better if I were to see only one film at a time.. I may have seen Deewar many times over.. many times in theatre.. and here is the case for Abhimaan which I never saw in theatre at all.. yet I have been forced to beleive that Abhimaan beats Deewar.. it was the movie I chose to watch on the birth anniversary of Dr. Bachchan.. thinking which of your movie he may have liked to view if he was here in this world.. I do not what kind of movies did he like or if he liked movies at all.. yet Abhimaan was that one movie that I feel a sensitive and emotionally creative person would have preferred over Deewar..an Anand over Sholay is a similar debate.. and I am again little bit sorry to say that Anand wins..oh! I need not feel sorry at all.. there is no binding of my likings over to others.. you included.. Namak Haraam over Zanjeer is yet another comparison where the less successful wins over the successful.. the list could go on..
I am not here to elaborate which movie I liked over which other. I definitely wanted to tell you that I liked your suit yesterday.. brither you looked marvellous in the new clothings.. I wish I had one similar to you.. I know I can not afford.. I know I have that reason for not spending over expensive clothing which are of little use to me for most of the Mumbai weather.. yet if I were to buy a similar one I would probably also not having enough resources.. one can not be so honest or rather one need not be so honest.. whatever.. I liked your this Friday”s get up and you were also beaming with lot of confidence.. the sense of confidence that was evident in the seventies though you are now going to be into seventies (soon enough.. if not now..)
Dr. Bachchan was on my mind too.. I had taken print outs of sme of my compositions about him.. I had planned to record them yesterday.. but that was not to be.. and I had not posted my version of the Dharm granth on youtube.. I know I look very unpresentable despite somewhat better rendition than what Amrit did.. No, no, I may not be ale to share my videos as they expose me more on the weaker side than they can bring aout the creativity forward.. it is all right..
Last but not the least had called up Prateeksha yesterday and also sent a fax and tried to connect with AZ for a possibility of being a part of the last rows of Bachchan Sandhya.. I don’t know if I could follow what he said on SMS go their directly.. I may not be able to take Amrit in such a case.. I know if we have to return without seeing the program I would not be able to handle his tantrums.. were you also like all children in showing disgust at such times when soemthing did not work the way you expected as a child.. he is too young to be made to uderstand the complexities that life sometimes throws onto us.. I mght just come alone.. if I could come.. I know there is a very intense desire to meet Dr. Bachchan through this program..
Wishing the Bachchan Sandhya an unprecedented success..
Love Affection and Regards

जो बीत गई
जो बीत गई सो बात गई !
जीवन में एक सितारा था,
माना वो बेहद प्यारा था,
वह डूब गया तो डूब गया,
अंबर के आनन को देखो
कितने इसके तारे टूटे,
कितने इसके प्यारे छूटे,
जो छूट गये फिर कहां मिले;
पर बोलो टूटे तारों पर
कब अंबर शोक मनाता है !
जो बीत गई सो बात गई !
(2)
जीवन में वह था एक कुसुम,
थे उसपर नित्य निछावर तुम,
वह सूख गया तो सूख गया
मधुवन की छाती को देखो,
सूखीं कितनी इसकी कलियां
मुर्झाईं कितनी वल्लरियां,
जो मुर्झाईं फिर कहां खिलीं
पर बोलो सूखे फूलों पर
कब मधुबन शोर मचाता है !
जो बीत गई सो बात गई !
(3)
जीवन में मधु का प्याला था
तुमने तन-मन दे डाला था
वह टूट गया तो टूट गया
मदिरालय का आंगन देखो,
कितने प्याले हिल जाते हैं
गिर मिट्टी में मिल जाते है,
जो गिरते हैं कब उठते हैं ;
पर बोलो टूटे प्यालों पर,
कब मदिरालय पछ्ताता है !
जो बीत गई सो बात गई !
(4)
मृदु मिट्टी के हैं बने हुये,
मधुघट फूटा ही करते हैं,
लघू जीवन लेकर आये हैं,
प्याले टूटा ही करते हैं,
फिर भी मदिरालय के अंदर
मधु के घट हैं, मधुप्याले हैं,
जो मादकता के मारे हैं,
वे मधु लूटा ही करते हैं,
वह कच्चा पीनेवाला है,
जिसकी ममता घट-प्यालों पर,
जो सच्चे मधु से जला हुआ
कब रोता है, चिल्लाता है !
जो बीत गई सो बात गई !
Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchanji – 101st Birth Anniversary –
Respectfully
28th November 2009 proudly marks the 101st birth anniversary of
Respected Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchanji
He has inspired millions of people all across the world with his humble yet empowering poems that reflect the greatness of his nobility and creative brilliance
He was the legend who characterized the eloquent expression of words very most succinctly that have carved a phenomenal niche in the hallmarks of poetical recitations
The legacy of his vision is being carried forth with pride and respect where the hallmarks of time gracefully acknowledge his erstwhile contributions to uplifting the versatility of poetic literature and particularly for his emphasis on the vital importance of the moment; each and every moment remarkably
Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchanji sought to communicate the tremendous importance of each and every jewel of moment; the moment; each moment encompassing the more meant of the moment; the priceless moment is truly all that we have can cherish
It is inspiring us to live in the now with complete awareness and consciousness; being attentive and diligent; prudent and wise; being meaningful and responsible in the now; the now of the moment is the know of the moment; being aware – being consciously present in the now is heralding the magnificence – the virtual essence of life
Respected Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchanji as the humble tributes of your Respected Family along with Millions of your Admirers are being expressed, we humbly look upon your eminence with profound pride and admiration wishing you peace, love and happiness always; God Bless
Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchanji, the wonderful person who invested his meticulous efforts; taking phenomenal initiatives by enriching our realm with thoughtful knowledge and a quest to keep inspiring the universe with our meaningful, purposeful, responsible and sincere endeavors consistently with meaningful consistency
When I think of Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchanji the greatest compliment that could ever be given to him is to resonate the versatility of his brilliant character and attitude whereby he demonstrated to us that to live life is to live a life of purpose; a life of meaningful values based principles embracing the completeness and beingfulness of life that we truly are
His inspiration keeps on resonating the cherished adage that will keep echoing alongside the hallmarks of time the amazing principles from amongst which the following proudly represent infinite thoughtfulness namely the following
Repeat form the above; Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchanji sought to communicate the tremendous importance of each and every jewel of moment; the moment; each moment encompassing the more meant of the moment; the priceless moment is truly all that we have can cherish
This encompasses much more significance within itself rather than just a symbolic representation alone since it seeks to inspire us to recognize the strategically vital importance of time; that in this moment, there is a wold of moments unleashing its brilliance infinitely
We can seek to bask in the glory with awareness or ignorance; the choice is ours; where would we wish to be in our lifetimes is very much associated with the moment; the moment by each precious moment reflecting the infinite brilliance of time and its amazing characteristics proudly
This is humbly seeking to inspire to invest in life meaningfully; purposefully; respectfully; responsibly and sincerely; enhancing the scope of each and every moment by utilizing it constructively and responsibly with due diligence and prudent acumen
Each and every moment is absolutely magnificent and extremely precious; Time and again, each and every moment is seeking to inspire us to constructively utilize our time spheres in adoption, pursuance and implementation of meaningful and responsible objectives with due diligence and prudent acumen
The above is seeking to refer to time respectively; Time is what Life is made of; The preciousness of time is truly beyond compare; Time cannot be purchased or bartered for or exchanged; Once time is gone, it takes along with it much more than time alone
Time represents the greatness of evolution; The passage of time remarkably describes the hallmarks of time with its own unique characteristics very most amazingly
Time represents its outstanding nature with a versatility that expresses brilliance in each and every moment very most prolifically; The footprints of time at times stand apart posthumously and cannot be compared with what has elapsed or what will evolve further ahead respectively; Certain times are truly incomparable
Time represents commitments we make with ourselves and others; The representation of the commitments reflects upon the importance that is accorded to the credentials and credibilities of life respectively
Paraphrasing the above in the following few words; it is the Moment in Time; the Time in the Moment; what we do with it is entirely upto us at our discretion but the inspiration will keep evoking our awareness to consciously utilize our moment – our moments with a meaningfulness and thoughtful consistency responsibly
Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchanji – Respectfully
We are all proud of you and respectfully salute your notable and prestigious accomplishments from amongst which time and again; over and over again the pivotal importance that you sought to emphasize namely “the moment” – the preciousness of the moment will forever seek to inspire and guide us amazingly; God Bless
This moment is our life; this life is our moment; the moment in the moment is infinitely filled with completeness and wonderfulness of our true selves and our true nature respectively inspiring us to recognize the purpose of our life; to be true to our purpose; to ensure that we live a life of purpose; a life of meaningful values based principles in each and every moment responsibly and sincerely
Thank you very much, Aapka Dhanyavaad aur Shukriya, Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchanji – Respectfully; we are very much grateful to you for your thoughtful inspiration and guidance; May God Bless you with peace, love and happiness always; God Bless
Love, Light and Wisdom,
God Bless,

Sir,
I belong to Jain Social Group Borivali and representative of that group I came to your Pratiksha Bunglow on 26th at 5 pm to handover our messages on Bakri-Id to save Animal Slaughtering. The security talked inside your Bunglow and conveyed me that i should go to Jalsa Bunglow. I immediately reached there and requested to take the delivery of file containing our messages. The person concerned telephoned inside your bunglow twice and informed me that as office is closed they can’t take the delivery of file. Meantime one courier guy came and that Guard took the delivery of the same without any argument. I repeatedly told the Security guy to take the delivery of file and i specifically told him that i don’t want anything in writing or any acknowledgement of the same and also told that if the same thing i had sent through courier, you would have accepted it, my personal coming to deliver the same had disadvantage. I had not expressed even meeting you or coming personally to your office. I am a Senior Chartered Accountant and working in nearby Club where you are also a Member. It was really very shocking that inspite of repeated request they denied to take deliver of the file and told me to come personally again on next day (today). Today is Bakri Id and i wanted to deliver the same before that day. Anyway i will try to deliver the same today and hope to have positive response.

Good luck.

Dear Amitabh Bachchan,
I remembered your Father Harivansh Rai Bachchan on his 102 birthday anniversary
with a prayer and a thought in the morning too…
*
Very interesting thoughts in your post today.. I like what you wrote ..
I will remember a couple of quotes from you especially -
“There is no greater emotion than the love and affection that togetherness brings.”
” I live in hope and goodness. Hope, to remain away from the evils, and the goodness to make sure it prevails.”
*
And I would like to share a quote by Anne Frank. She was a child – a young teenager –
when she said that. ”I believe that deep down, all human beings are really good.”
*
I just returned home and at this late night hour I do not feel too much energy, so I will go to have my cup of tea with a piece of toasted bread and go rest for my morning shift tomorrow..
Thank you for writing and I hope you are enjoying this special day for Bachchan’s family …
God bless and take care.
Much love to you.

Anil Sharma #142: Why do you assume I will not agree with you? You have a very valid point. Most weekdays, my comments are past one hundred thirty or something, as I am at work all day and by the time I come home, a lot of people have commented. But that’s okay with me, being number one has never been important to me. I simply know that Amitji values each one of us equally. When he has the time, he reads every single comment, and when he doesn’t, like these days, it is perhaps not possible for him to read any, or maybe just a few.
It is a good suggestion to have a fixed time for the post, but I just feel that it may not be feasible logistically for Amitji to do so. He keeps irregular hours, and is a spontaneous person — he writes, he clicks send. Whenever it is. That’s it. It is first come, first served on this blog.
However, I am very glad you made your suggestion. Let us see what he does about it. I would like to see you at the top some day! And it will happen.
Best wishes,
Jasmine
Dear Mr. Bachchan
I came across through your blog on google and it was indeed immense pleasure to go through your write ups. Very well written and very easy for any layman to envision it.
I wish for your good health and good family life.
Thanks and Regards
Vijji #146: it is your love for me speaking, I think! There are many wonderful writers on the blog that I love to read, whose powers of expression are way superior to mine. I can give you the names — Satyam, Phyllis, Sharmila, Kashmira, Tehreem to name only a very, very few.
But thank you for your kind words, I do appreciate them. I am the fortunate one to have someone as loving as you as a friend. Also, as they say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder — you are a beautiful person to see me thus. For it is on this same blog that I have endured the most malicious and vicious personal abuse. I am the same person — depends on who is looking at me, and how.
Love, always,
Jasmine (aka your JJ)

Thanks for reading my comment.
My suggestion was that he may write at anytime but posting may be done at a fix time. I do agree with you that spontaneity may be lost. ( but you may have observed that many a times there is a gap of about 2 hours between his writnig and posting eg today, Day 585). I was merely streching it to by another 4 hours.
Its Ok if EF doesnt agree with me. After all, its just a suggestion.
Thanks again for your views.

आदरणीय अमितजी,
डा. स्व.श्री हरिवंश राय बच्चनजी की ‘जाल-समेटा’ से कुछ पंक्तियाँ उद्धृत करता हूँ….
तू अपनी नियति निभाता है, पालाच* तुझे प्रणाम,
मेरे स्वजनों, पुरखों, मेरी बलिदानी परम्पराओं का ,
तू आत्मघात कर दलित राष्ट्र के, दमित जाति के,
नव जीवन का उपोद्घात कर जाता है,
जातियां नहीं मरती कि शक्ति कोई भारी, अत्याचारी,
उन पर चढ़ उन्हें दबाती है; वे मरती है,
जब अपने शीश झुकाकर वे, अन्यायों को सह जाती है.
–बच्चन
*पालाच=
एक चेक नवयुवक था जिसने चेकोस्लोवाकिया पर रशिया के आक्रमण के
प्रति अपना विद्रोह प्रकट करने के लिए अपने शारीर में आग लगाकर प्राण दे दिए थे.
शेष फिर, बच्चन-संध्या के लिए शुभकामनाएँ…

I would like to be a memer please..send me tips…chandraviet1309@yahoo.com
Tonight the free activity was viewing two exhibits at the Morgan Library, William Blake’s World: “A New Heaven is Begun”, and Rococo and Revolution: Eighteenth- Century French Drawings. The highlight was listening on a headphone to Jeremy Irons reciting ‘The Tyger’ and ‘Auguries of Innocence’.
I have just watched Bigg Boss. I smiled while watching their reactions to seeing the ‘PAA’ promo for the first time. And I loved Auro’s guest appearance. I still cannot believe it is you speaking! Again the frustration at not knowing what Rohit was getting emotional about and why he was evicted.
Two of your frequent topics have hit home recently. Every day being a struggle fits me right now. Things others do so easily such as putting together a semblance of a resume, figuring out how to compose it on a computer, getting my printer hooked up and working have been major challenges for me. The printer part I have yet to totally solve (maybe I need 2 cartridges). The other is the father child relationship-my father, a CPA, practically yelling that I better start learning about finances(the details of my 401K which I got in the mail today looks like gibberish to me), that maybe I should only go to a few Cyclones games( worse than not traveling is the thought of giving up my season ticket for my beloved team), and the fact that I know he is worried about me.
In the back of my mind is that I have that ticket to see you in Paris and if I tell him I might go, he’ll have a fit!
I hope your rehearsals have been fruitful and everything is ready for your family’s recital. I know it will be a spectacular night.
Love,
Rochelle
My dearest Mr. Bachchan,
Thank you for such a heart warming and an insightful post….we saw you last night on BB3, and it was so wonderful hearing you recite some lines from your dear Father’s poem ‘Jo Beet Gayee So Baat Gayee’….it felt very poignant, specially as it came in the immediate after of the first anniversary of 26/11…how relevant the essence of this poem felt to the occassion. But for those who suffered, I wonder, can any logic seem logical? Can any truth seem real? May God sustain them and give them the resilience to gather their shattered lives and move on again.
I am glad that Shweta has come down from Delhi, to be able to be a part of the Bachchan Sandhya…..we always speak about this one remarkable aspect of you Mr. Bachchan – the way you and Jaya have nurtured your children, and instilled strong values in them. And I say this, keeping in mind the profession you both are in. The bonding, the love and the understanding among you all is just simply so awe-inspiring. And now, to see Aishwarya blend into the family fabric so beautifully too….Touch Wood!! No matter what we may have done for ourselves or for humanity, but if we cannot look back, and feel good about having given love and attention to our own family, then what have we really accomplished? What do we have, to be proud of?!
You have spoken of father-son relationships having gone wrong and which may never be repaired. But I suppose, families, with all their imperfections, are created so that they can humanize us…. they exist so that you are able to forget yourself occassionally, and hold another in priority, thereby ensuring that the beautiful balance of life is not destroyed! Family quarrels have a bitterness unmatched by others because they are always underlined with love, and when love is defiled, nothing tastes more bitter! Yet, it sometimes happens that they also have a kind of a zing, an endearing flavour beneath the rancour, based on the tacit understanding that this is not for keeps; that any limb you climb out on will still be there later, for you to climb back. On a lighter note, as somebody once said, Families are like fudge….mostly sweet with a few nuts……a social unit where the father is concerned with parking space, the children with outer space, and the mother with closet space.
I hope my thinking aloud was loud enough for you to have ‘heard’ it?? I sure do hope so! Leaving you now, with loads of good wishes and much love and blessings……
As always and ever,
Kashmira
Carla, #92, yours was a beautiful description of what a family is supposed to be like and your direct comparison of it to a strong, enduring friendship was even more touching! We feel so fortunate, and I am sure that Mr. Bachchan is so proud of you too, that you are among the EF! May God Bless you and yours always!

Mr. B,
Talking of family ties just watched in the news the gossip about Tiger Wood’s near fatal accident, suppose to be over use of alcohol after a fight with the wife over a woman, even the mighty can fall(a prey I mean) is what I’m trying to say.Thank God he is safe , a day back saw him playing too.This alcohol and women seems to be a very potent combination!Ok ok I’d better scoot before I’m misunderstood here!Love and regards
Lots of love to Kashmira, Aish ,Archana, Vijaya and all other EF, have a great day.

Hello Amit ji……..
Late but fresh gOOD mORNING………
Sir first of all would like to wish all the best for birthday anniversary celebration of great Dr. Harivanshray Bachchan at Bhartiya Vidhya Bhavan………
Aaaahhhhh………….after 6 days I am back on the blog and find the stuff…….good to see that you have given thought about family and togetherness and giving me energy especially today…………because being in POWER UTILITY company normally I take less leaves…………and since last 5 months I never had great time to spent completely with family……so I have taken 5 day leave and had a great vacation with family with first time SWITCHED OFF the MOBILE, to not to allow to disturb me………..and had a great tour to our native and surroundings with my parents and dependents………..
Sir I stay here with my full family…………..and strongly believe in togetherness………my father is born and brought up of pure GUJARATI………and initially hasitated to shift to MUMBAI when I got transferred last year……….because he is of your age i.e. 67 years…………but it is always a joy to stay together and I succeed to convince him and enjoying time………….but here in Mumbai it is not possible to devote full day to family…………so we had a mini vacation from routine busy schedule and today back……………thats all from me to my all EF friends…..
during these days only thing missing was that to read your blog and comments and love of our EF friends ……………but with routine busy office schedule this is the tonic which makes life simpler and enjoy…………so I feel warmth of our EF family now……….
Love to Dear : Manish Parmar / Naresh Bhatt / Shankar ji / Manojbhai Ojha / Vijaya / Valourie / Zinab / Devkishin Vyas / Jamine Jaywant (Love reading your words) / Aditya M / Kalpana / and many more……….may be missed some because almost after 7 days…………..
Will meet daily now…………have a nice day…………stay tuned all EF friends pls……..
Dearest Amitji,
I have spent good times on Wednesday in a museum with a friend “ The Biennale of Art Contemporain in Lyon”. I enjoy my day, this particular day. At the end of the visit, we can pick up a fresh flower and so you have to offer this flower to a person you don’t know (It means to offer and to receive), My friend decided to give the flower to an unknown man in the street and he was so happy to receive. I appreciated this moment because the man gave a smile to my friend. And you Mr. Amitabh, you gave me the smile every day.
I wish you and your family a nice celebration at Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan.
Love as always
Barka
Sudhir, Loved ur comment at 112. Just read it again now. Like I said when I first joined the blog, if Amitji’s blog ever gets compiled into a book, there should be a chapter dedicated to u – The Best of Sudhir – subdivided into ghazals – philosophy – memorabilia. And I’ll buy the first copy!:)
Vijji, Archana… Thank you. Yes, it did feel good. Now if only all breaks were as easy to mend…
Love to all of u,
Aish.
DIDN’T THE MATCH END YESTERDAY? WOW! And Sreesanth pulled his car and jumped out… Wow! DIdn’t know they could fly down from K to M to meet YOU. You must be famous. And secondly, it is SREESANTH, NOT SRIKKANTH (INCIDENTALLY, YOU GOT THE SPELLING OF SRI’K'ANTH WRONG TOO)
How about Amitibha Bachpan, or something of that sort. Ridiculous. Stop blowing your own goody-goody-two-shoes TRUMPET. NONSENSE!
my dearst Amitabh ..
good morning to you my sweet heart..

Dearest Amitji,
Namaskar!
I liked the way you described father-son relationship. Its complex! Sons seek independent ways of living their lives, but deep down in their hearts awaits a feeling of being loved by his parents. Life today has made it all the more difficult for the family system to survive. But those who cherish the family system seem to be happier than the rest.
Take care & love…
Dear Amitabh,
thank you for your warming post. So emotional…
Every comment of you is like poetry for me.
My sincerest congratulations for the birthday jubilee of your father. Family is the most important thing in the world.
I wish you much strength and energy for this big event.
In your heart and in your thoughts your parents will always be immortal and unforgettable.
Maybe you will post something about the event on your blog and maybe you also release a few lines of the “Madhushala”, that would be wonderful.
My love and thoughts are with you…..always.
Have a great day.

पहली बार काशी में छलकी बच्चन जी की ‘मधुशालाÓ !
-1933 की ठिठुरती दिसंबरी रात में कालजयी रचना का जादू सिर चढ़ बोला
बीएचयू ने हरिवंश राय को बैठाया था सिर आंखों पर
प्रख्यात कवि हरिवंश राय बच्चन के जन्मदिन पर शनिवार को जब मुंबई के भारतीय विद्या भवन में ‘मधुशालाÓ की ‘कॉफी टेबुल बुकÓ का विमोचन हो रहा होगा तो काशी के जेहन में वर्ष 1933 की ठिठुरती दिसंबरी रात की यादें सहज ही जीवित हो जाएंगी। यह भी स्मरण हो आएगा कि काशी हिन्दू विश्वविद्यालय के शिवाजी हॉल में एक सामान्य कद-काठी के व्यक्ति ने किस तरह युवाओं को अपना दीवाना बना दिया था। अपनी कालजयी रचना ‘मधुशालाÓ के औपचारिक उद्घाटन यानी पहली बार मंच से प्रस्तुति के इस अवसर पर उपस्थित लोगों को शायद इस बात का तनिक भी भान नहीं रहा होगा कि वे जिस घड़ी को जी रहे हैैं, वह इतिहास के विस्तृत आकाश पर ध्रुव समान चमकेगा।
तब के जवान अब के वयोवृद्ध स्मृति पटल पर जोर देते हुए रोमांच से भर उठते हैैं कि किस तरह ‘मधुशालाÓ की हर पंक्ति पर तालियां बजतीं और लोग सुर से सुर मिलाते। लय के साथ मधुशाला का पाठ करते। बच्चनजी का व्यक्तित्व आकर्षण का केंद्र भी था। बाकी कवियों की रचनाएं उनके आगे फीकी पड़ गई थीं। कइयों को तो श्रोताओं ने हूट करके मंच से लौटा दिया। उस कवि सम्मेलन की अध्यक्षता करनेवाले प्रो. मनोरंजन प्रसाद सिनहा ने एक जगह अपने संस्मरण में लिखा – उस शाम बच्चन को सुनकर नवयुवक पागल हो रहे थे। पागल मैं भी हो रहा था किंतु वह पागलपन इस प्रकार का न रहा- यह गिलहरी कुछ दूसरा ही रंग लाई और वह रंग प्रकट हुआ दूसरे दिन के कवि सम्मेलन में जो केवल मधुशाला का सम्मेलन था, बच्चन का और मेरा सम्मेलन था। मधुशाला सर्वप्रथम कवि सम्मेलन- केवल मधुशाला का। बच्चन ने अपनी अनेकानेक रूबाइयां सुनाई थीं और मैैंने केवल आठ। बच्चन आदि और अंत में थे और मैैं था मध्य में, इंटरवल में। जब सुनते-सुनाते थक से गए थे तो शीशे के गिलास में सादे पानी से गले की खुश्की मिटा रहे थे।
मधुशाला का असर क्या था? श्री सिनहा लिखते हैैं कि आट्र्स कॉलेज के उस हाल में जो कॉलेज भवन की दूसरी मंजिल पर ठीक जीने के पास अवस्थित है, जमकर सभा हुई। कहीं तिलभर जगह नहीं थी। कमरे का कोना-कोना तो भरा ही था। बाहर दरवाजों के सामने भी अनेकानेक विद्यार्थी थे। बच्चनजी ने कविता पाठ शुरू किया, लड़के झूमने लगे। सभी आत्मविभोर से थे।
इस यादगार सम्मेलन के कुछ खास पलों को याद करते हुए नरेंद्र शर्मा लिखते हैैं कि बच्चन ने अप्रकाशित मधुशाला का पाठ शुरू किया। सार्वजनिक रूप में यह मधुशाला का प्रथम काव्यपाठ था। श्रोताओं पर एक बार गहरी निस्तब्धता छा गई। कुछ क्षणों को शायद सांस लेना ही सब भूल गए और प्रशंसा का बांध एकाएक टूट गया। वातावरण पर ऐसा जादू छा गया कि वाह-वाह और तालियों की गडग़ड़ाहट भी प्रशंसा के गहरे समुद्र और ऊंचे आकाश में ‘न कुछÓ जैसी लगती थी।
कवि सम्मेलन के उन लम्हों ने बच्चों को उस जमाने की युवा पीढ़ी का हीरो बना दिया। क्रेज की ऐसी लहर चली जिसकी कल्पना आज के दौर के बड़े-बड़े स्टार नहीं कर सकते।
‘मधुशालाÓ की काफी टेबुल बुक की खासियत यह भी होगी कि उसमें बच्चनजी की पौत्री नम्रता के रेखांकन और कविताओं के अंग्र्रेजी सार भी रहेंगे। एक लोकप्रिय कृति की अनोखी प्रस्तुति बच्चनजी के जन्मदिन के अगले दिन इसलिए की जा रही है कि खुद अमिताभ बच्चन बिग बॉस के अपने शो के व्यावसायिक अनुबंध के प्रतिबंध में फंसे हैैं। बहरहाल, इस मौके पर अमिताभ बच्चन वाराणसी से जुड़ी पिता की यादों को याद करें न करें लेकिन काशी तो जरूर याद करेगी। साथ ही बच्चनजी की प्रथम प्रस्तुति को भी।
बच्चन परिवार व वाराणसी के लिए 27 नवंबर का दिन इसलिए भी महत्वपूर्ण है कि दो साल पहले यानी 2007 में हरिवंश राय बच्चन की सौवीं जयंती पर पूरा परिवार यहां जुटा था। तब विवाह से पहले ही ऐश्वर्या भी उनके साथ थीं। बाकायदे संकटमोचन मंदिर में यज्ञ हुआ और काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर में मंगला आरती के समय विधिवत पूजन-आराधन।

Dear Sir,
I always have desire to meet you somewhere,but where?now I have got the answer from your blog the place where we can share our thoughts and express our feelings,I can say this is the best medium of stay in touch.I read everyday your experiances and what you do in everyday.I really mesmerised with your phenomenol personality as well as your humbleness.There are only few people who have these kind of qualities you are one of the best in them.I am running with some debts but I am sure I will pay one day like you sir.you have paid almost 100crores to your creditors its such incomparable sir.I am firm follower of your personality but I’ll not be able to reach your height sir.I need your blessings for come out of this critical situation.
I watch bigboss everyday and waiting for PAA,
I hope I will have your reply sir.
have a nice day to you and your family sir,
obedient yours

dear Friend ,
You would be busy with the evening function, so best of luck.
About relationships, the ultimate is mutual love and respect in bold and caps. Feelings may vary in temperature, but never die, or diminish. If there is no respect, the relationship doesn’t exist
Love and respect.

Respected Sir,
Read your blog it was full of affection for you father, i wonder how can some body love his/her father and abide by the values given by them.I am saying this as we have been separated from my father long ago , but in my memory i really cant remember any responsibilities which he has done.Family is important i realized very late when i lost most if the vital relations.anyways its great to know about your feelings.
hallo sir
i m friend with you
Dear Anat Magen
#198..What you have written us abolutely right ..what if some writes first..but may be his feeling is – that the first comment will certainly get read by Big B and is most likely to get some response someday..and is it reallly true that the great man reads all the comments..it can’t be true..how can he get so much time..and if its tru he would have certainly replied to me for my #223 on 538
Any way nice writing to you..

YOU WERE SUPERB AMITABHJI.UNBELIEVABLE .YOU TOOK EVERYONE BY SURPRISE..
AT LAST ONE OF THE TERRIBLE TRIO IS PUSHED OUT OF THE GATE.
HOWEVER ROHIT REDEEMED HIMSELF CONSIDERABLY. HE EXPRESSED REMORSE ABUNDANTLY BEFORE HIS EXIT.THAT WAS INDEED VERY TOUCHING.
WE FORGIVE YOU ROHIT. YOU ARE A TALENTED PERSON.
WISH YOU ALL SUCCESS IN YOUR CAREER OF ‘FASHION DESIGNING’

1933 की दिसंबर की रात में काशी विश्व विद्यालय के शिवाजी हाल में हुए कवि सम्मेलन का विवरण प्रस्तुत करने के लिए धन्यवाद ! वो लोग भाग्यशाली थे जिन्होंने उस रात पहली बार ‘मधुशाला’ का आनंद लिया.
काश ! उस समय भी विडियो रिकार्डिंग होती तो आज हम लोग भी उस ऐतिहासिक कवि सम्मेलन का आनंद ले पाते !

Hello
hello Gentleman ,
I made script named “Sangharsh “. According to the same, this story is of Raj who suffers from reality of struggle life. He has to struggle of more sophisticated drudgery of Common people as socio – economic. After the same he firmly decided to do something for himself. But after a sometime, he trapped in some controversies. Than how to he become a success, who are his support system? , How he come out from the same Problem is the moral of the script.

Dearest Amitji,
Fathers guidance, sincere efforts to do all that is expected the head of the family to do, being a provider, companion, friend, master, teacher, strength are some of the things we carry in our stride and in the way we carry ourselves in the society. We are a glimse of our Father externally and the internal affairs of our heart they say belong to the nature, warmth and love of our Mother. May everyone remember the goodness and values instilled in us by our Parents , forever. Happy 102nd Birthday to your Father.
Not bad only 25 out of 207 so far realised that it was typo error – Sreesanths dream come back. Manish Parmar and Rochelle accepting Srikanth as hero. Anyway its good to remember the name of Indias opening striker, chief team selector of India’s cricket. This error in name gives an insight that many on the blog are from all around the world and so your typo error is acceptable and no need to apologise. It happens. I understand. Its not a big deal. Hahaha in Hindi movie it this had happenned the dialogue would be ‘hum to aapkï cricket ki jankari dekh rahe teh, humne srikanth likha, kya aap bata sakte hai ki humne sahi likha ya galat?’ Isme, audience poll, phone a friend, fifty-fifty, flip the question ye kohi bhi choice nahim hai, kyo ki he kaun banega crorepati nahi hei.
Above said Jokingly and on the lighter side. Hope you do not mind it Amitji.
The adorable thing you wrote is about the humbleness and energy of Sreesanth. He making the sign of the cross as thanks which usually the brazilians always displays quite often is a sign of faith and trust in GOD. May we all possess such gifts of faith and trust in God and do our best while God does the rest.
Sp.Regards
Mario

Mr. Bachchan ,
With reference to BB3 27/11/2009 Episode , it was very disturbing to see you discourage Raju Shrivastav’s act . May be what Raju was doing was not a very entertaining to you but that was his usual self .
The way you rebuffed and discouraged him it did not seem right At all and we were hurt to see somebody of your level and persona do something of this sort .
At your level you should realize that slightest thing done by you could only devastate others as a -ve reaction coming from you would hurt the most .
Hope and pray you dont again do the same to others who value and Respect you like God.
Best Regards,
Bharathi Anand

I would also like to add here that I am very much inspired by the poetry of Sh Harivansh rai bachhan ji. I keep reading the lines-
Asafalta ek chunauti hai sweekar karo
Kya kami reh gayi dekho aur sudhaar karo,
jab tak na safal ho neend chain ki tyago tum
sangharshon ka maidaan chod mat bhago tum
KUCH KIYE BINA HI JAI JAI KAAR NAHIN HOTI
KOSHISH KARNE WALON KI HAAR NAHIN HOTI.

DEAR AMITJI
I DO WANT TO ASK FROM YOU HOW DO YOU REALLY FEEL WHEN YOU FIND WE ARE GIVING SECURITY, PRIORITY ,HIGHLIGHTS,MAKING KASAL A HERO AND HIS LAWYER WHO IS INDIAN BUT MONEY AND TO GREED TO BE POPULAR HE IS EVEN TRYING TO PROTECT… WHAT OUR LAW IS DOING? ITS REALLY BELIND..
WE ARE SHOWNG THE WORD WE ARE STUPID AND COWARD… IT IS NOT GANDHIGIRI AT ALL…
OUR LAW IS LAME,BLIND AND DEAF,WHERE MURDERES AND TERRORIST ARE HAVING LUXURY AND IF THEY GET A SPRING FROM A HERO’S HOUSE THEN A S.P CAN SLAP HIM IN PUBLIC… BECAUSE HE DARE TO DO THAT.
IN MOVIES WE SEE 1 HERO GO AND DESTROY/KILL ALL THE TERRORIST BUT IN REAL IFYOU READ THE NEWSPAPER 4 JAWAN DIED AND 2 TERRORIST KILLED.
DONT YOU THINK COMING GENERATION WILL NOT BE PROUD TO BE INDIAN???
LOVES

A woman is a woman. A mother is a mother. There is a mother in every woman. There is a woman in every mother.
And remember that spanking u regret not receiving… thats on its way to Pune! Its in an inconspicuous-looking brown box. The side-up has the skull-crossbones pic. Scream and I’ll know u received it!
Love,
Aishwarya.
My beloved Mr. Bachchan,
First of all a very Happy 102nd Birth Anniversary to Babuji. He continues to live through you and I am glad you have brought us closer to him through all your writings and admiration for him. Long may he live!
I have so much to comment on today’s post and so little time on my hands.
So much to share, but unfortunately I do not have the peace to do so. I have 3 days off and the days are busy with shopping and packing for my trip to India. I still have another six days of work left, but as we do not like to leave stuff for the 11th hour, we are trying to finish as much as we can. Tomorrow is the 1st Advent and most homes here are beautifully lit. I love this time of the year, but since we do not have our family members around, the joy is not complete. My heart though is already in India and I am waiting eagerly to board that homebound plane.
Sending you loads of love-Lily D’Penha-Frankfurt-Germany.
My Dearest Dear,
U must b busy now for the function. Happy Birthday to Ur Father. Unforgotable person with his unforgottable work. All the best for today’s function. must right about it tomorrow and try to send some pics. long time have not seen any pic from ur mobile.
I hope U meant it Shreeshant………………. not Krisnamachari Srikant.
For me parents are the umbrella and I don’t dare to cut them off from my life. They r precious.
With lots of Love
take care wishes and requests
enjoy Ur time with Ur daughter & Grand children (??)

I think Amit Ji should make one or two mistakes in every blog. So that those who get pleasure in finding mistakes will also be happy to read his blog. Just a thought.

Dear Amitji
I”m a great fan of you since my childhood, I belongs to Hoshiarpur/Punjab.
I saw such days when people quarrels with each other for a ticket of ur movie &
goes to jail. Your movie’s ticket was like as gold to them/me..
You are a successful guy as Son/Husband/Father/Father-n-Law/Actor…
Your rival is only one who is self Amitabh Bachan. I “m in waiting of ur coming movie PAA.
Best of Luck.
Regards
Sukhdev Nagra
Sir Ji
The cricketer is Sreesanth and not Srikanth.
Regards, Tulsi
Bachhanji, today i saw some footage on TV about you are meeting Srisant for encouraging him. It feels good for a player who try to come back in his career. Its obviously very motivating for Srisant.

Zainab: Id Mubarak! So you were awake till 3.30 am. Studying hard I guess, or were you waiting for your handsome charmer’s post?
Sharmila: Poor Sreesanth, he stands totally exposed. Hope he concentrates more on his game.
Jasmine: You are as eloquent and articulate as those you have named. I guess you are trying to follow Mr. Bachchan’s modest ways. Great!!
Aishwarya: Thank you for the greetings. And thank you for that wonderful comment. I’ve already decided to practice what you said. You’re absolutely right; life is too short to play the waiting game. Thank you again.
Dear sir,
mY best wishes for auspicious anniversary 102th years !!

Dont remain in the misunderstanding that I study hard.I only study and yes,I was waiting for my Handsome Charming Prince,the Shahenshah.Love.
Dear Mr Bachchan,
Today is my fathers birth anniversary…he also has been throught the day in my mind and body. All of us had lunch together….i really missed him as i cut the cake for him.
Take care and best wishes for ur fathers 102nd birth anniversary.
love,
Madhu.
Dear Amitji,
Nice post. Glad you ad a nice day yesterday – 102 years for your darling Father.
Love for later today. Look forward to hearing about the evening and catching glimpses on the tv/internet.
My cousin’s wedding went well yesterday – lovely ceremony held at the Bhaktivedanta Manor in Watford and later in the evening the reception at the Park Inn hotel. For someone who insisted that she would never marry a man from India and will not move far from her parents – her kismat takes her away
saat samundar paar to Mumbai and her husband is from India – just goes to show one should never say never for one does not know what is in store for one and where life will take one.
My son was home for his graduation ceremony and will be returning to Mumbai
too. He loves India!
God Bless
Love and best wishes

Dear Sir,
I’ve seen the promo of Bigg Boss yesterday where Rohit speaks about Vindu. I would like to mention a short story for him for the same topic.
“There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer and the fourth son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent and twisted.
The second son said, no, that it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful. It was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them. He said it was ripe and drooping with fruit – full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree’s life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that comes from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.”

Samir Bhatia

NAMASTE,AMITABHJI
My commnents are always being eaten these days. I don’t think you’re feeding your moderators enough Mr Bachchan.
Valorie – LOVED your hilarious account of the Thanksgiving weldings. My culinary disasters inevitably occur when I abandon the saucepan for the Blog.. thinking ‘just a quick look’…
Don’t worry, you are FAR more fun than if you were a ‘domestic goddess’!
And I admire your ability to check the Blog and take a shower and swig some amaretto BEFORE feeding the dogs.
I’d NEVER get away with that with my darling cats. They ALWAYS get fed first.. whisper it ever so softly… EVEN before checking the Blog! But does this mean that I love them even more than Mr Bachchan??
Not telling!
With love from Daisy
Dear sir,
Not long ago, I got a chance to see the DVD of ur unforgetable tour……it was just awesome. Just one question; Indians and many other people around the world love and adore u……so why did u guys only choose UK to stage ur show. Currently, I live in Australia……will I ever have the chance to see you perform live in Australia. I come from a very small island called Fiji, where we cherish u like god……and like everyone else, I also have a dream to see up closely. Guess….for now DVD’s have to do.
All the best for your new movie…I am sure, like any other movie of yours, this il be a blast as well.
Cheers,
Shiv.
MY SON REALLY LIKES UR MOVIE BHOOTNATH,HE BELIVES THAT U R REALLY AN ANGEL.N WILL BE HIS FRIEND LIKE BANKU,HE IS 5 YRS OLD.

Can’t wait to see PAA, looks amazing, may I also just say that I watch Big Boss on you tube and I LOVE the way present it….your interaction with the housemates is very endearing…without giving anything away you manage to say alot to them!! I love Aditi and Baktiear……I started feeling very negative towards Rohit, Vindoo, Raju etc but after your closing comments and the recital of your father’s kavita…..my viewpoint completely changed….joh beet gai voh baat gai…..I’m gona try n apply this in my personal life also.
Last nights words came at a time in my life when that is exactly what I needed hear……THANK YOUUUUUUUU….XX!!
hey my bachchan…..how r u….lots of luv…..my heart skips a beat when i think of the time when i wont have my parents with me……the thought itself is so dreadful……i want 2 go before them….they are in india n i c them once every year i’m losing all the time in front of my eyes but i’m just doing nothing about it………god bless u always

amitji me bachpan se aapka fan hu, aap kabhi bhi mera heart chir ke dekhoge andar aap hi hoge, bas hame aapko jindagi me ek bar milne ki tammanna hai
Dear Amitji,
Wishing you and your family the very best at the function today. Your father would have been so proud of you.
Lots of love!
Comment # 9.
AB’s “errors” are mere errors esp on his blog. If a journo had misspelt HIS HIGHNESS’ name, it would be pure evil….!!
BEST WISHES for your father’s 102nd birth anniversary and wish you all the best for tommorrow .You will shine and so will others around you
YES !!! Mr. Bachchan YOU ARE SO RIGHT and i am so BRIGHT
regards
Even though i can see no LIGHT
So much in PLIGHT
There has to be some SIGHT
Worth the IGNITE
Day and NIGHT
In search and SIGHT
So to all wrong and RIGHT’S
Wish i could also LIGHT and be BRIGHT
AGAIN AND AGAIN
But so much in PLIGHT that i see no LIGHT
So to more and much much more ,i AM in DELIGHT
Hi Mr Bachchan & all FmXt,
today I offer you a love poem , hope you enjoy it
I hope, you like it my dear.
.
I don’t post a poem about snoring
Dedicated especially to Zainab who finished her exams, with my wishes of success, and Aishwarya, “a promise is a promise”
In fact I would like to put Mr Bachchan in the top of my dedication , it’s been a while since I didn’t say “I love you”, but you know even if I didn’, right?
********************
********************
En fait, ça fait un moment que se croisent dans ma tête
Des mots et des douceurs qui pourraient faire un texte
Un truc un peu différent, je crois que ça parlerait d’elle
Faut avouer que dans mon quotidien, elle a mis un beau bordel
*
In fact, it’s been a while that cross in my head
Words and sweets that could be a text
Something a bit different, I think it would speak about her
Must confess that in my everyday life, she created a beautiful mess
——————————————————————————————-
Mais j’ai un gros souci, j’ai peur que mes potes se marrent
Qu’ils me disent que je m’affiche, qu’ils me traitent de canard
C’est cette pudeur misogyne, croire que la fierté part en fumée
Quand tu ouvres un peu ton coeur, mais moi cette fois je veux assumer
*
But I have a big worry, I’m afraid my friends will joke about it
They say that I expose myself, they call me a duck
It is this decent misogynist, believing that pride goes up in smoke
When you open a bit your heart, but this time I want to assume
————————————————————————-
J’ai un autre problème, il est peut-être encore plus lourd
C’est que tu n’as pas droit à l’erreur quand tu écris un texte d’amour
Moi, les trois prochains couplets, je voudraient que ça soit des bombes
Si j’écris un texte sur elle, je voudrais que ça soit le plus beau du monde
*
I have another problem, it may be even heavier
Because you can not make mistakes when you write a text of love
the next three verses, I would like them to be bombs
If I write a text for her, I would like it to be the finest in the world
—————————————————————————————–
Elle ne mérite pas un texte moyen, j’ai la pression , ça craint
Fini de faire l’intéressant, avec mes voyages en train
Là c’est loin d’être évident, moi je sais pas comment on fait
Pour décrire ses sentiments, quand on vit avec une fée
*
she doesn’t deserves a means text, I have pressure, it sucks
I stop showing off myself, with my travels by train
There is far from obvious, I don’t know how to do
To describe his feelings when someone lives with a fairy
————————————————————————
Il faut avouer qu’elle a des yeux, ils ne sont même pas homologués
Des fois ils sont verts, des fois jaunes, je crois même que la nuit ils sont violets
Quand je m’enfonce dans son regard, je perds le la je ne touche plus le sol
Je me perds profondément, et j’oublie exprès ma boussole
*
I must admit she has eyes, they aren’t even ratified
Sometimes they are green, sometimes yellow,I think that even in the dark they are purple
When I bury myself in her eyes, I lose the “LA” ,I leave the soil
I lose myself deeply and deliberately forgot my compass
——————————————————————————————
Depuis que je la connais, je ressens des trucs hallucinants
Je me dis souvent que j’ai eu de la chance de lui avoir plu, sinon
J’aurais jamais su qu’un rire pouvait arrêter la Terre de tourner
J’aurais jamais su qu’un regard pouvait habiller mes journées
*
Since I know, I feel hallucinating things
I often tell myself that I was lucky she loves me, if not
I never knew that laughter could stop the turning earth
I never knew that a glance could dress up my day
——————————————————————————————
Je ne comprends pas tout ce qui se passe, il y a pleins de trucs incohérents
Depuis qu’elle est là rien n’a changé, mais tout est différent
Elle m’apporte trop de désordre, et tellement de stabilité
Ce que je préfère c’est sa force, mais le mieux c’est sa fragilité
*
I do not understand everything that happens, there are tons of stuff incoherent
Since she is here, nothing has changed, but everything is different
She brings too much confusion, and so much stability
What I like is her strength, but the best is her fragility
—————————————————————————————–
Ce n’est pas un texte de plus, ce n’est pas juste un poème
Parfois elle aime mes mots, mais cette fois c’est elle que mes mots aiment
Je l’ai dans la tête comme une mélodie, alors mes envies dansent
Dans notre histoire, rien n’est écrit, mais tout sonne comme une évidence
*
This is not one more text, this is not just a poem
Sometimes she likes my words, but this time my words like her
I have in my head like a melody, then my desires dance
In our history, nothing is written, but everything sounds like an evidence
———————————————————————–
J’ai redécouvert comme ça réchauffe d’avoir des sentiments
Mais si tu me dis que c’est beaucoup mieux de vivre sans, tu mens
Alors je les mets en mots et tant pis si mes potes me chambrent
Moi je m’en fous, chez moi il y a une sirène qui dort dans ma chambre
*
I rediscovered how it’s havin feelings can give warm
But if you say it’s better to live without, you lie
Then I put them into words and never mind if my friends make fun
I don’t care, At home there is a siren who sleeps in my room.
———————————————————————–
J’avais une vie de chat sauvage, elle l’a réduite en cendres
J’ai découvert un bonheur tout simple, c’est juste qu’on aime être ensemble
On ne calcule pas les démons du passé, on n’a pas peur d’eux
Moi si un jour j’suis un couple, je voudrais être nous deux
*
I had a life of wild cat, she reduced it to ashes
I found a simple joy, it’s just that we love being together
We don’t think of the demons of the past, we don’t fear them
If one day I’m a couple, I would be ours
————————————————————————————–
Il y a des sourires et des soupires,il y a des fou rires à en mourir
On peut s’ouvrir et s’en rougir, déjà se nourrir de nos souvenirs
Les pièges de l’avenir nous attendent, mais on n’a pas peur d’eux
Moi si un jour j’suis un couple, je voudrais être nous deux
*
There are smiles and sighs, there are mad laughters to die
we can open up ourselves and blush , already feeding from our memories
The pitfalls of the future ahead, but we are not afraid of them
If one day I’m a couple, I would be ours
—————————————————————————————
Et si c’est vrai que les mots sont la voix de l’émotion
Les miens prennent la parole pour nous montrer sa direction
J’ai quitté le quai pour un train spécial, un TGV palace
On roule à 1000km/h, au dessus de la mer, en première classe
*
And if it’s true that words are the voice of emotion
Mine took the floor to show us her direction
I left the dock for a special train, a TGV palace
We travel at 1000km / h, above the sea, in first class
.
Love
Ah yes… the family! family…supreme! And heres wishing the Bachchan family move from strength to strength!
God Bless!
HEALTH AND HAPPINESSS aLWAYS AND PRAYERS TOO!…NINA
Zainab, Aishwarya ( TVM ), Kashmira , Manish, Shankar – Thanks for your lovely greetings and wish you the same.
Jasmine J – Your posts remain as sweet as your name.
Melwyn – Sreeshanth is a talented cricketer no doubt, but his antics off the field have always been more prominent.He must take lessons from somebody like Tendulkar, a man who has kept his private life out of public view.
Sirji….following are the details I gathered from my friend on the Bhojpuri network so thought of sharing with you as well as with all FMXT~
प्रख्यात कवि हरिवंश राय बच्चन के जन्मदिन पर शनिवार को जब मुंबई के भारतीय विद्या भवन में मधुशाला की कॉफी टेबुल बुक का विमोचन हो रहा होगा तो काशी के जेहन में वर्ष 1933 की ठिठुरती दिसंबरी रात की यादें सहज ही जीवित हो जाएंगी। यह भी स्मरण हो आएगा कि काशी हिन्दू विश्वविद्यालय के शिवाजी हॉल में एक सामान्य कद-काठी के व्यक्ति ने किस तरह युवाओं को अपना दीवाना बना दिया था। अपनी कालजयी रचना मधुशाला के औपचारिक उद्घाटन यानी पहली बार मंच से प्रस्तुति के इस अवसर पर उपस्थित लोगों को शायद इस बात का तनिक भी भान नहीं रहा होगा कि वे जिस घड़ी को जी रहे हैं, वह इतिहास के विस्तृत आकाश पर ध्रुव समान चमकेगा। तब के जवान अब के वयोवृद्ध स्मृति पटल पर जोर देते हुए रोमांच से भर उठते हैं कि किस तरह मधुशाला की हर पंक्ति पर तालियां बजतीं और लोग सुर से सुर मिलाते। लय के साथ मधुशाला का पाठ करते। बच्चनजी का व्यक्तित्व आकर्षण का केंद्र भी था। बाकी कवियों की रचनाएं उनके आगे फीकी पड़ गई थीं। कइयों को तो श्रोताओं ने हूट करके मंच से लौटा दिया। उस कवि सम्मेलन की अध्यक्षता करनेवाले प्रो. मनोरंजन प्रसाद सिनहा ने एक जगह अपने संस्मरण में लिखा – उस शाम बच्चन को सुनकर नवयुवक पागल हो रहे थे। पागल मैं भी हो रहा था किंतु वह पागलपन इस प्रकार का न रहा- यह गिलहरी कुछ दूसरा ही रंग लाई और वह रंग प्रकट हुआ दूसरे दिन के कवि सम्मेलन में जो केवल मधुशाला का सम्मेलन था, बच्चन का और मेरा सम्मेलन था। मधुशाला सर्वप्रथम कवि सम्मेलन- केवल मधुशाला का। बच्चन ने अपनी अनेकानेक रूबाइयां सुनाई थीं और मैंने केवल आठ। बच्चन आदि और अंत में थे और मैं था मध्य में, इंटरवल में। जब सुनते-सुनाते थक से गए थे तो शीशे के गिलास में सादे पानी से गले की खुश्की मिटा रहे थे। मधुशाला का असर क्या था? श्री सिनहा लिखते हैं कि आर्ट्स कॉलेज के उस हाल में जो कॉलेज भवन की दूसरी मंजिल पर ठीक जीने के पास अवस्थित है, जमकर सभा हुई। कहीं तिलभर जगह नहीं थी। कमरे का कोना-कोना तो भरा ही था। बाहर दरवाजों के सामने भी अनेकानेक विद्यार्थी थे। बच्चनजी ने कविता पाठ शुरू किया, लड़के झूमने लगे। सभी आत्मविभोर से थे। इस यादगार सम्मेलन के कुछ खास पलों को याद करते हुए नरेंद्र शर्मा लिखते हैं कि बच्चन ने अप्रकाशित मधुशाला का पाठ शुरू किया। सार्वजनिक रूप में यह मधुशाला का प्रथम काव्यपाठ था। श्रोताओं पर एक बार गहरी निस्तब्धता छा गई। कुछ क्षणों को शायद सांस लेना ही सब भूल गए और प्रशंसा का बांध एकाएक टूट गया। वातावरण पर ऐसा जादू छा गया कि वाह-वाह और तालियों की गड़गड़ाहट भी प्रशंसा के गहरे समुद्र और ऊंचे आकाश में न कुछ जैसी लगती थी। कवि सम्मेलन के उन लम्हों ने बच्चों को उस जमाने की युवा पीढ़ी का हीरो बना दिया। क्रेज की ऐसी लहर चली जिसकी कल्पना आज के दौर के बड़े-बड़े स्टार नहीं कर सकते। मधुशाला की काफी टेबुल बुक की खासियत यह भी होगी कि उसमें बच्चनजी की पौत्री नम्रता के रेखांकन और कविताओं के अंग्रेजी सार भी रहेंगे। एक लोकप्रिय कृति की अनोखी प्रस्तुति बच्चनजी के जन्मदिन के अगले दिन इसलिए की जा रही है कि खुद अमिताभ बच्चन बिग बॉस के अपने शो के व्यावसायिक अनुबंध के प्रतिबंध में फंसे हैं। बहरहाल, इस मौके पर अमिताभ बच्चन वाराणसी से जुड़ी पिता की यादों को याद करें न करें लेकिन काशी तो जरूर याद करेगी। साथ ही बच्चनजी की प्रथम प्रस्तुति को भी। बच्चन परिवार व वाराणसी के लिए 27 नवंबर का दिन इसलिए भी महत्वपूर्ण है कि दो साल पहले यानी 2007 में हरिवंश राय बच्चन की सौवीं जयंती पर पूरा परिवार यहां जुटा था। तब विवाह से पहले ही ऐश्वर्या भी उनके साथ थीं।
With love and warm regards,
MANOJ KUMAR OJHA
In my previous post I forget to put my friends name his name is Dinesh Singh.
Meaning no disrespect to an elder but how can one go on a public platform & not name correctly a sportsman who has brought honour to the country? And why is everyone getting into a flap if Mr Bachchan is politely corrected?
hello… i am a student of class nine….and my english teacher has suggested me to write a book on you….i am a great fan of yours… i hope you don’t have a problem if i write it…
Thank you
I wonder if you ever get so much time to read all the comments
Hi
Congratulations for the movie PAA. Wishes to you on your fathers birthday. I don’t know how to get hold of you but I am designing a game and would like you as one of the characters and in order to this need your permission. Please can you contact me. Thank you and best wishes.
Respected Amitji,
As allways nice post.We are all waiting for ur invitation,Sir.Pl pl pl send it very fast.Pl do take good care.Bye.
Ram Bhole.
Pettssy love, Thank you for the poem. I’ll miss you.:( Enjoy ur holidays and come back soon.
I loved the lines where he describes her eyes, and “what I like is her strength, but the best is her fragility”, and “this time my words like her.” Lovely.
Zainab, Glad u liked the song. Childhood memories? But u are only 15! U make me feel ancient!:P
Melwyn, Thank you.:)
Where is Reeham these days?
Hope she everything alright.
Superb, Sudhir. As usual. SOMEBODY should learn from you how to reminisce without blowing one’s own trumpet. Generally, people become the hero of their own story in its retelling like Surma Bhopali. And this is usually when insecurity creeps in. “He pulls along by the side of my car, notices me and jumps out”….But “the crowd around ‘him’” are dismissively minimized as “a huddle!!” Really, only a huddled group of people for a national hero? Jaago desh jaago!
sir
Happy Birthday to Babu Ji
Hope you have a nice day today for the homage to Babu Ji
Love you,allways
Manoj
# 54 : Manish bhai : I read your yesterday’s comment yeah it happens some times that our message doesn’t go through and lost in between.
# 87 & 91 : Hi Valorie I really miss your poems…:) Yeah I have mentioned that I am having 2 kids but both are not girls, one is girl of 4 yrs and another is a boy of 2 yrs…:)
Keep on spreading happiness through your sweet singing acumen. Hope one day we all hear your singing. Why not post an mp3 file link so that we all can listen it?? Doesn’t it sounds a good idea???

I’ve seen all the corrections about which sportsman you have named on the blog and yes, being an ignorant American about cricket, I would have believed it even if you said it was Tinkerbell.
I would venture to say that you were in a state of complete exhaustion after Bigg Boss and picking up your beautiful daughter at the airport. I remember once you were so tired that the end of your post was almost like some gibberish . So I would theorize that the same kind of thing happened here.
I hope your big night honoring your father is everything you dreamed it would be. I’m sure your family has done you proud.
Love,
Rochelle
Dear Mr. Amitabh bacchan ,
I saw your move today again called “bhagban” its all time grate move i have ever seen. but i have one complain . dont u think as this move had raised Q on parents and there kids relation ship and parents being suffered there should be one another move about same relation ship but kids being sufferd ? i can give u some contain for the script if u want . when u will read it u will understand how one can do that alltho not that bad they or he or she is but for some reason they can , same as in bhagban kids did so. need your two words reply if u r bussy.
#Amitabh Zibbu.. Thanks for sharing those commandments.. There are so cute but lot of truth and lessons deep in it. All the best for ur promotional activities and also pl take care of ur health.
# Satyam.. Thanks for the link.. Abji’s yet another voice ka jaadu!!!
# JJ .. so happy to see so much of appreciation.. u truly deserve it!!
# Chandrakant.. Congrats on having a baby girl. ur daughter will be proud of her Paa!!
# Anil Sharma .. ur suggestion is good.. and nothing wrong in making so.. but most importantly, with Amitji’s hectic schedule, he affectionately makes times to write to us sometimes in the wee hours of morning.. Firstly being a creative person, he would have poured out his thoughts sponatneously and would want to share it immediately. Secondly for him to switch on the comp again… open the page … go thru the process of sending it at 6 in the morning might be a tedious task. This is my personal opinion. but let us leave the matter to ABji himself!
Vijaya, Naresh, Sharmista, Manish, Kashmiraji, Srinivas.. and many many more.. thanks for ur wishes.
hi amitabh bachchan g . i am irsad from kutch. i like your present and you as a person . i just want to talk you you have some power so you try to help Innocent peoples how and why ? u just try to connect with politics or with communis and change it like in positive for a human bin. we try to make happy all people . ok i hope you do it because you a good man . have a happy life……..if you want to mail me so mail me at samirseifs@live.com ………..
hellow sir,
since any days i have been reading ur blog,sometimes speechless,smetimes at loss of words to express myself..but everytine i read ,i thnk ur thougts r so deep,ur introspection so true….to b true.todya’s topic always bring tears in my eyes..family it’s whay we yearn for,earn for….live for,yet misunderatndings crop up but whenever i read u,i again gain momentum to try again to revive all sour relations,to be more loving ,compassionate,more understanding,n thnk less of myself n my independence n more of elders….i ‘d like to say thank u….
ur sincerely,
dr monca
Dear Mr B,
I just saw the wedding & reception pics of Shilpa Shetty on the net. She was so cooperative with the media & we could see her on TV & some good pics on the net
I was wondering when will I see Ash-Abhi’s Wedding pics. Please do not forget that all that you are enjoying is because of your fans & you are not sharing any pics with us. Anyways people have already lost interest by now. But there are sone diw hard fans like me who are still waiting.
Dear Amitji,
Just a question for you.
Whom would you preferred, If not you, to act as Auro in Paa? Or whom would you think who can do justice to this role in Indian Cinema?
Wishing you Good Luck for Paa…
Regards
CK
Mr. B,
Saw u talking to Sreeshanth, and my my ,weren’t we looking breathtaking in that velvet achkan I think it was!Only u could have carried it with so much of elan honestly.Loveand regards.
Dear Sir,
Just a one line message for you for the moment…when the function starts, please don’t forget to feel really really good and enjoy yourself. When the “bulb” in your heart glows, your beloved Parents will feel the warmth.
Shall write more later. All the Best to all the family members of Late Shree Harivanshrai Bachchan Ji and Mrs Teji Bachchan ji.
Love,

Valorie…what’s up…are you never goin to pen down..a poemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…please do it now…
Hello Amit Sir,
At the mention of your father bday, I remember my Grandfather as it was his B’day yesterday and he left us for heavenly abode 24 years back. I’m always told that I’m a Bachchan parivar freak and often asked about my fondness for the Big B as most of my friends prefer watching Aamir of Shahrukh movies. This is when I tell them that my Grandfather had prayed and put in a small amount at the Sahar Ayyappa temple when you were hurt during the Coolie shoot. So the great respect and fondness for you runs in my blood and was born long before I was.
Loads of Love and best Wishes,
Ratish Nair
Respected Amitji , pranam. kahte hai dhundhne se bhagwan bhi milta hai. aaj aap tak bat pahuchane ka rasta mil jane par muze wah khushi mili. mera bhagwan ise padhega ya nahi ye pata nahi. par aasha karta hu k kabhi to takdir hasegi aur aap ka reply aayega. jivan sanghrsh me ladte rahne ki prerna aap ne hum jaise karodo chane walo ko di hai.us k liye dhanyawad.
Hi Amit Ji,
While surfing net I found a mp3 in your voice that is : Aaj Mehenga Hai Saiyan Ruppiah.
Is this the Poem written by your father Late Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan ?
I wanted to know the details..Please reply
Thank You
Varun
Logged in late due to ill health but as usual wanted to atleast end the day by reading your blog…..parents love will always stay in our hearts whether they are physically present with us or not….parents give us unconditional love and we understand only after becoming parents ourselves! Have a good sleep. Cheers frm K@mandu as always – Varsha
Sir,
This is my first post to you.And why I am replying is an incident which occurred when I was in Delhi for paper evaluation,Myself being a Lecturer.I am die hard fan of the fact that there isn’t anything more important,more blessed than respecting ,loving and caring our families.
A Fellow Lecturer had his family in Gurgaon but he never went to his parents even his father called him up regularily.He himself is married and having blessed with a son.
Someone asked him to visit his parents,but the poor fellow on the contrary was raising another discussion that our parents have to be more understanding that we don’t have time to spare.They should be more educated and should understand that our generation is different and generation gap between them and us exists .
The thought which I was able to put across him was that when we were not able clean ourselves they did it passionately with extreme love .They were not sleeping for us so that we can lead a better life……..
i felt very happy for myself that I am blessed with this thought.
All the best
Will watch Paa
Tk care keep best of your health.Also sir you are doing Great in BB3

Mr.Bachchan,
Good luck at the celebrations for your father. You have raised your children so well.Sweta with her presence speaks volumes.

जीवन में एक सितारा था
माना वह बेहद प्यारा था
वह डूब गया तो डूब गया
अंबर के आंगन को देखो
कितने इसके तारे टूटे
कितने इसके प्यारे छूटे
जो छूट गए फ़िर कहाँ मिले
पर बोलो टूटे तारों पर
कब अंबर शोक मनाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई
जीवन में वह था एक कुसुम
थे उस पर नित्य निछावर तुम
वह सूख गया तो सूख गया
मधुबन की छाती को देखो
सूखी कितनी इसकी कलियाँ
मुरझाईं कितनी वल्लरियाँ
जो मुरझाईं फ़िर कहाँ खिलीं
पर बोलो सूखे फूलों पर
कब मधुबन शोर मचाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई
जीवन में मधु का प्याला था
तुमने तन मन दे डाला था
वह टूट गया तो टूट गया
मदिरालय का आंगन देखो
कितने प्याले हिल जाते हैं
गिर मिट्टी में मिल जाते हैं
जो गिरते हैं कब उठते हैं
पर बोलो टूटे प्यालों पर
कब मदिरालय पछताता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई
मृदु मिट्टी के बने हुए हैं
मधु घट फूटा ही करते हैं
लघु जीवन ले कर आए हैं
प्याले टूटा ही करते हैं
फ़िर भी मदिरालय के अन्दर
मधु के घट हैं,मधु प्याले हैं
जो मादकता के मारे हैं
वे मधु लूटा ही करते हैं
वह कच्चा पीने वाला है
जिसकी ममता घट प्यालों पर
जो सच्चे मधु से जला हुआ
कब रोता है चिल्लाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई
sir i like tihs poem very much
Dear Amitji,
My birthday is on Dec 4th.I wish you and Abhishek all the best for your new release “Paa”. Definitely father is a very important person in life.
My son who is just 7 years old is your fan, he loves to see your movie “Bhootnath”, he must have seen that for atleast 15 to 17 times but still loves to see that.He always asks me “Can we meet him(you) personallY?”
I too wish to meet you personally.We are from Mumbai.
Sir Amitji,
We are eagerly waiting for the release of PAA on 4th December.
All the best.
Tushar
Regards to the legendary Harivansh Rai Bachchan Sir on his 102nd Birth Anniversary…
My best wishes for tomorrow’s function.. Hope all goes off well…
Love and regards to you.. Take care of your health…

Deep #65: Amitji does not wish us to make any personal comments of a derogatory nature for anyone on the blog. It is not a nice thing to do anyway. Why would you say such a thing about Manish Parmar? He is a very nice person, respectful of everyone, dedicated to Amitji and his blog, very caring, never says anything bad about anyone, speaks up against injustice– all in all, a very fine human being. Why would you say such a thing about him (or anyone, for that matter)? I do not appreciate it.
Chandrakant #175: I’m not sure what you are asking, could not open the link you included, but I would be glad to help you in any way I can. If you mean you want to be a member of this extended family, you already are! Welcome. And #248: thanks for drawing my attention to Dr. Naik’s comment, and for sharing with us your joy at your daughter’s birth. God has given me only sons (although each time I was expecting, I hoped for a daughter), and they are wonderful. I always think wistfully about a daughter.
Devkihisnji #219, Mario Andrew Rodriguez #223, George Manghani #251: Devkishiji, you’ve hit it on the head again. Each time I see a mistake, grammatical or in mentioning names, in Amitji’s post, I just make a mental correction and move on. That’s it. I assume it must either have been a typo, or he made a mistake in recalling something. Don’t we all? We call people by the wrong name sometimes (I say the wrong name when calling one of my sons sometimes!). No one is perfect.
Jasmine
sir can i also got the pass for paa premire and sir my sixth sense says your pic gonna be super hit and with this abhishek bhaya personality also change in hollywood just like when it was change after release of guru
Dear Amitji, Good Evening. Living under the shadow of father has a set of parameters to abide by. Living independently also there are set of parameters to adhere to. In both cases one has to care for the parents feelings. Sometimes risk taking is more when we live alone. Parents do restrict risky ventures of children.
We may succeed or fail in life but in both cases parents are our first wellwishers. In failures they will console us and help again to rebuild life. In success they will rejoice and also share some values so that we retain success. Experience earned by elders always come handy.
Every father and son may have a different set of life’s conditions. So one may face piculiar situations. Parents will always remain parents or friends but the age difference will always remain. So they will treat their child as a child only. 1year old child and father of 30 years will have a ratio of 1:30 but after 30years son of 30 will have father of 60years. 1:2 will be the ratio. With son of 60 and 90 years old father it will be 2:3 so with life there is something narrowing but age difference remains constant. So son will be son to the father whole life.
The attitudes will certainly be different as age advances.
Hope you had a wonderful time in company of your father today. You must have felt like a child longing to meet his father. May be his advices to you from time to time must be haunting. Life moves forward and one gets solace by experiencing father’s feelings while looking at own son. So Father-Son-Father is a cycle of life.
My regards to all parents who hold hands of their children in different ways through life’s ups and downs.

Dear AMIT JI
TO DAY IS FIRST DAY TO VISIT YOUR BLOG FOR ME I WANT TO SAY THAT BEAUTIFULL IDIOLOZY IS BEING TRANSFER BY BIG B TO NATION KINDLY KEEP IT ON WELL WISHES ON 102 SECOND BIRTHDAY OF YOUR LATE FATHER MR HARIVANSH RAI BACHAN
THANK YOU
MANOHAR SHRIMAL UDAIPUR
Dear Sir, (if I may address you in this manner)
First of all I do sympathize with large number of daily emaills. 332nd…………just 36 less than I have to cope. In my work of clinical/medical research on global scale keeping an eye on events spanning from South America through to Europe, Asia Specific and Australia. the internet has definately condensed the world on my tiny laptop.
I will consider myself real lucky sitting here in London if I will managed to divert your attention to this email. its first time that I am writing to a PR person, so will accept if I get usual auto reply.
My prime reason that has drawn to join your blog, is the connection to the date 27th November, its also my daughter birthday, very artist, in her way like your father.
The second recently her passion to Indian fashion, she on her own accord utilising her god given height of 5’11” and beautiful face, has bagged titles face of Asia and recently Miss Bollywood UK, and hit 49,000 citation! Naturally she and Rohit K Verma met at UK Style awards her height kind of hard to hide, the time has not stood for us and Rohit now adopted in our family, I am his new Mama. I was so amazed how Rohit is not understood in India and in so many words how best it can out forward, your father’s poetry, 27th November Reena and Rohit, her height your height………sitting here in front of lap top and watching every clip on You tube as we have no relay of Colours TV in UK, other then a few clip on Star News! Very difficult!
Paa will be a interesting to watch from medical point of view in fiction, or would Rohit as our adopted member in UK will be more real, can Indian Mumbai Institute make a documentary/ film on gay and take all that mis-understanding I read or heard of Rohit make it distant and acceptable! Could you through your PR help India to see them not differently as we do in West! The words used is beyond us!
Kind Regards
Gita
Respected Sir,
How are you?
My wishes and prayers for your father on his 102 birthday anniversary.
Waiting for your post. We would be very delighted if you upload the photographs of the birthday ceremony.
Please take care.

SHAKESPEARE’S EXACT VERSE IS——–MORE SINNED AGAINST THAN SINNING
CLARIFICATION WARRANTED HERE FOR SOME OF THE MEMBERS OF EF HERE WHO HAVE READ SHAKESPEARE MORE THAN ME.
Dear Sir..
the real “MADHUSHALA” IS here..ha..
आप लेकर घूम रहे है इधर उधर मधु का प्याला ..
पर वो मेरे पास यहाँ है जो है अपनी मधुशाला …
मैंने अभी अभी पायी है गूगल पर अपनी हाला …
जिसको पीकर पाली मैंने अंतर मन की मधुशाला …
मई बना प्रतिबिम्ब और आइना बनी मधुशाला…
बाँट रहाहूँ मई साकी बन अब ये मधु का प्याला..
ब्लॉग आप का हाला है ,अब शब्द बने मरी मधुशाला…!
{ मधुशाला
मृदु भावों के अंगूरों की आज बना लाया हाला,
प्रियतम, अपने ही हाथों से आज पिलाऊँगा प्याला,
पहले भोग लगा लूँ तेरा फिर प्रसाद जग पाएगा,
सबसे पहले तेरा स्वागत करती मेरी मधुशाला।।१।
प्यास तुझे तो, विश्व तपाकर पूर्ण निकालूँगा हाला,
एक पाँव से साकी बनकर नाचूँगा लेकर प्याला,
जीवन की मधुता तो तेरे ऊपर कब का वार चुका,
आज निछावर कर दूँगा मैं तुझ पर जग की मधुशाला।।२।
प्रियतम, तू मेरी हाला है, मैं तेरा प्यासा प्याला,
अपने को मुझमें भरकर तू बनता है पीनेवाला,
मैं तुझको छक छलका करता, मस्त मुझे पी तू होता,
एक दूसरे की हम दोनों आज परस्पर मधुशाला।।३।
भावुकता अंगूर लता से खींच कल्पना की हाला,
कवि साकी बनकर आया है भरकर कविता का प्याला,
कभी न कण-भर खाली होगा लाख पिएँ, दो लाख पिएँ!
पाठकगण हैं पीनेवाले, पुस्तक मेरी मधुशाला।।४।
मधुर भावनाओं की सुमधुर नित्य बनाता हूँ हाला,
भरता हूँ इस मधु से अपने अंतर का प्यासा प्याला,
उठा कल्पना के हाथों से स्वयं उसे पी जाता हूँ,
अपने ही में हूँ मैं साकी, पीनेवाला, मधुशाला।।५।
मदिरालय जाने को घर से चलता है पीनेवला,
‘किस पथ से जाऊँ?’ असमंजस में है वह भोलाभाला,
अलग-अलग पथ बतलाते सब पर मैं यह बतलाता हूँ -
‘राह पकड़ तू एक चला चल, पा जाएगा मधुशाला।’। ६।
चलने ही चलने में कितना जीवन, हाय, बिता डाला!
‘दूर अभी है’, पर, कहता है हर पथ बतलानेवाला,
हिम्मत है न बढूँ आगे को साहस है न फिरुँ पीछे,
किंकर्तव्यविमूढ़ मुझे कर दूर खड़ी है मधुशाला।।७।
मुख से तू अविरत कहता जा मधु, मदिरा, मादक हाला,
हाथों में अनुभव करता जा एक ललित कल्पित प्याला,
ध्यान किए जा मन में सुमधुर सुखकर, सुंदर साकी का,
और बढ़ा चल, पथिक, न तुझको दूर लगेगी मधुशाला।।८।
मदिरा पीने की अभिलाषा ही बन जाए जब हाला,
अधरों की आतुरता में ही जब आभासित हो प्याला,
बने ध्यान ही करते-करते जब साकी साकार, सखे,
रहे न हाला, प्याला, साकी, तुझे मिलेगी मधुशाला।।९।
सुन, कलकल़ , छलछल़ मधुघट से गिरती प्यालों में हाला,
सुन, रूनझुन रूनझुन चल वितरण करती मधु साकीबाला,
बस आ पहुंचे, दुर नहीं कुछ, चार कदम अब चलना है,
चहक रहे, सुन, पीनेवाले, महक रही, ले, मधुशाला।।१०।
जलतरंग बजता, जब चुंबन करता प्याले को प्याला,
वीणा झंकृत होती, चलती जब रूनझुन साकीबाला,
डाँट डपट मधुविक्रेता की ध्वनित पखावज करती है,
मधुरव से मधु की मादकता और बढ़ाती मधुशाला।।११।
मेंहदी रंजित मृदुल हथेली पर माणिक मधु का प्याला,
अंगूरी अवगुंठन डाले स्वर्ण वर्ण साकीबाला,
पाग बैंजनी, जामा नीला डाट डटे पीनेवाले,
इन्द्रधनुष से होड़ लगाती आज रंगीली मधुशाला।।१२।
हाथों में आने से पहले नाज़ दिखाएगा प्याला,
अधरों पर आने से पहले अदा दिखाएगी हाला,
बहुतेरे इनकार करेगा साकी आने से पहले,
पथिक, न घबरा जाना, पहले मान करेगी मधुशाला।।१३।
लाल सुरा की धार लपट सी कह न इसे देना ज्वाला,
फेनिल मदिरा है, मत इसको कह देना उर का छाला,
दर्द नशा है इस मदिरा का विगत स्मृतियाँ साकी हैं,
पीड़ा में आनंद जिसे हो, आए मेरी मधुशाला।।१४।
जगती की शीतल हाला सी पथिक, नहीं मेरी हाला,
जगती के ठंडे प्याले सा पथिक, नहीं मेरा प्याला,
ज्वाल सुरा जलते प्याले में दग्ध हृदय की कविता है,
जलने से भयभीत न जो हो, आए मेरी मधुशाला।।१५।
बहती हाला देखी, देखो लपट उठाती अब हाला,
देखो प्याला अब छूते ही होंठ जला देनेवाला,
‘होंठ नहीं, सब देह दहे, पर पीने को दो बूंद मिले’
ऐसे मधु के दीवानों को आज बुलाती मधुशाला।।१६।
धर्मग्रन्थ सब जला चुकी है, जिसके अंतर की ज्वाला,
मंदिर, मसजिद, गिरिजे, सब को तोड़ चुका जो मतवाला,
पंडित, मोमिन, पादिरयों के फंदों को जो काट चुका,
कर सकती है आज उसी का स्वागत मेरी मधुशाला।।१७।
लालायित अधरों से जिसने, हाय, नहीं चूमी हाला,
हर्ष-विकंपित कर से जिसने, हा, न छुआ मधु का प्याला,
हाथ पकड़ लज्जित साकी को पास नहीं जिसने खींचा,
व्यर्थ सुखा डाली जीवन की उसने मधुमय मधुशाला।।१८।
बने पुजारी प्रेमी साकी, गंगाजल पावन हाला,
रहे फेरता अविरत गति से मधु के प्यालों की माला’
‘और लिये जा, और पीये जा’, इसी मंत्र का जाप करे’
मैं शिव की प्रतिमा बन बैठूं, मंदिर हो यह मधुशाला।।१९।
बजी न मंदिर में घड़ियाली, चढ़ी न प्रतिमा पर माला,
बैठा अपने भवन मुअज्ज़िन देकर मस्जिद में ताला,
लुटे ख़जाने नरपितयों के गिरीं गढ़ों की दीवारें,
रहें मुबारक पीनेवाले, खुली रहे यह मधुशाला।।२०।
बड़े बड़े पिरवार मिटें यों, एक न हो रोनेवाला,
हो जाएँ सुनसान महल वे, जहाँ थिरकतीं सुरबाला,
राज्य उलट जाएँ, भूपों की भाग्य सुलक्ष्मी सो जाए,
जमे रहेंगे पीनेवाले, जगा करेगी मधुशाला।।२१।
सब मिट जाएँ, बना रहेगा सुन्दर साकी, यम काला,
सूखें सब रस, बने रहेंगे, किन्तु, हलाहल औ’ हाला,
धूमधाम औ’ चहल पहल के स्थान सभी सुनसान बनें,
झगा करेगा अविरत मरघट, जगा करेगी मधुशाला।।२२।
भुरा सदा कहलायेगा जग में बाँका, मदचंचल प्याला,
छैल छबीला, रसिया साकी, अलबेला पीनेवाला,
पटे कहाँ से, मधु औ’ जग की जोड़ी ठीक नहीं,
जग जर्जर प्रतिदन, प्रतिक्षण, पर नित्य नवेली मधुशाला।।२३।
बिना पिये जो मधुशाला को बुरा कहे, वह मतवाला,
पी लेने पर तो उसके मुह पर पड़ जाएगा ताला,
दास द्रोहियों दोनों में है जीत सुरा की, प्याले की,
विश्वविजयिनी बनकर जग में आई मेरी मधुशाला।।२४।
हरा भरा रहता मदिरालय, जग पर पड़ जाए पाला,
वहाँ मुहर्रम का तम छाए, यहाँ होलिका की ज्वाला,
स्वर्ग लोक से सीधी उतरी वसुधा पर, दुख क्या जाने,
पढ़े मर्सिया दुनिया सारी, ईद मनाती मधुशाला।।२५।
एक बरस में, एक बार ही जगती होली की ज्वाला,
एक बार ही लगती बाज़ी, जलती दीपों की माला,
दुनियावालों, किन्तु, किसी दिन आ मदिरालय में देखो,
दिन को होली, रात दिवाली, रोज़ मनाती मधुशाला।।२६।
नहीं जानता कौन, मनुज आया बनकर पीनेवाला,
कौन अपिरिचत उस साकी से, जिसने दूध पिला पाला,
जीवन पाकर मानव पीकर मस्त रहे, इस कारण ही,
जग में आकर सबसे पहले पाई उसने मधुशाला।।२७।
बनी रहें अंगूर लताएँ जिनसे मिलती है हाला,
बनी रहे वह मिटटी जिससे बनता है मधु का प्याला,
बनी रहे वह मदिर पिपासा तृप्त न जो होना जाने,
बनें रहें ये पीने वाले, बनी रहे यह मधुशाला।।२८।
सकुशल समझो मुझको, सकुशल रहती यदि साकीबाला,
मंगल और अमंगल समझे मस्ती में क्या मतवाला,
मित्रों, मेरी क्षेम न पूछो आकर, पर मधुशाला की,
कहा करो ‘जय राम’ न मिलकर, कहा करो ‘जय मधुशाला’।।२९।

प्रति रसाल तरू साकी सा है, प्रति मंजरिका है प्याला,
छलक रही है जिसके बाहर मादक सौरभ की हाला,

साकी बन आती है प्रातः जब अरुणा ऊषा बाला,
तारक-मणि-मंडित चादर दे मोल धरा लेती हाला,

प्रति प्रभात में पूर्ण प्रकृति में मुखिरत होती मधुशाला।।३६।
उतर नशा जब उसका जाता, आती है संध्या बाला,
बड़ी पुरानी, बड़ी नशीली नित्य ढला जाती हाला,
जीवन के संताप शोक सब इसको पीकर मिट जाते
सुरा-सुप्त होते मद-लोभी जागृत रहती मधुशाला।।३७।
अंधकार है मधुविक्रेता, सुन्दर साकी शशिबाला
किरण किरण में जो छलकाती जाम जुम्हाई का हाला,

किसी ओर मैं आँखें फेरूँ, दिखलाई देता प्याला,
किसी ओर मैं देखूं, मुझको दिखलाई देता साकी
किसी ओर देखूं, दिखलाई पड़ती मुझको मधुशाला।।३९।
साकी बन मुरली आई साथ लिए कर में प्याला,
जिनमें वह छलकाती लाई अधर-सुधा-रस की हाला,

चित्रकार बन साकी आता लेकर तूली का प्याला,
जिसमें भरकर पान कराता वह बहु रस-रंगी हाला,

चित्रपटी पर नाच रही है एक मनोहर मधुशाला।।४२।
घन श्यामल अंगूर लता से खिंच खिंच यह आती हाला,
अरूण-कमल-कोमल कलियों की प्याली, फूलों का प्याला,

दुतकारा मस्जिद ने मुझको कहकर है पीनेवाला,
ठुकराया ठाकुरद्वारे ने देख हथेली पर प्याला,
कहाँ ठिकाना मिलता जग में भला अभागे काफिर को?
शरणस्थल बनकर न मुझे यदि अपना लेती मधुशाला।।४६।
पथिक बना मैं घूम रहा हूँ, सभी जगह मिलती हाला,
सभी जगह मिल जाता साकी, सभी जगह मिलता प्याला,
मुझे ठहरने का, हे मित्रों, कष्ट नहीं कुछ भी होता,
मिले न मंदिर, मिले न मस्जिद, मिल जाती है मधुशाला।।४७।
सजें न मस्जिद और नमाज़ी कहता है अल्लाताला,
सजधजकर, पर, साकी आता, बन ठनकर, पीनेवाला,
शेख, कहाँ तुलना हो सकती मस्जिद की मदिरालय से
चिर विधवा है मस्जिद तेरी, सदा सुहागिन मधुशाला।।४८।
बजी नफ़ीरी और नमाज़ी भूल गया अल्लाताला,
गाज गिरी, पर ध्यान सुरा में मग्न रहा पीनेवाला,
शेख, बुरा मत मानो इसको, साफ़ कहूँ तो मस्जिद को
अभी युगों तक सिखलाएगी ध्यान लगाना मधुशाला!।४९।
मुसलमान औ’ हिन्दू है दो, एक, मगर, उनका प्याला,
एक, मगर, उनका मदिरालय, एक, मगर, उनकी हाला,
दोनों रहते एक न जब तक मस्जिद मन्दिर में जाते,
बैर बढ़ाते मस्जिद मन्दिर मेल कराती मधुशाला!।५०।
कोई भी हो शेख नमाज़ी या पंडित जपता माला,
बैर भाव चाहे जितना हो मदिरा से रखनेवाला,
एक बार बस मधुशाला के आगे से होकर निकले,
देखूँ कैसे थाम न लेती दामन उसका मधुशाला!।५१।
और रसों में स्वाद तभी तक, दूर जभी तक है हाला,
इतरा लें सब पात्र न जब तक, आगे आता है प्याला,
कर लें पूजा शेख, पुजारी तब तक मस्जिद मन्दिर में
घूँघट का पट खोल न जब तक झाँक रही है मधुशाला।।५२।
आज करे परहेज़ जगत, पर, कल पीनी होगी हाला,
आज करे इन्कार जगत पर कल पीना होगा प्याला,
होने दो पैदा मद का महमूद जगत में कोई, फिर
जहाँ अभी हैं मन्िदर मस्जिद वहाँ बनेगी मधुशाला।।५३।
यज्ञ अग्नि सी धधक रही है मधु की भटठी की ज्वाला,
ऋषि सा ध्यान लगा बैठा है हर मदिरा पीने वाला,
मुनि कन्याओं सी मधुघट ले फिरतीं साकीबालाएँ,
किसी तपोवन से क्या कम है मेरी पावन मधुशाला।।५४।
सोम सुरा पुरखे पीते थे, हम कहते उसको हाला,
द्रोणकलश जिसको कहते थे, आज वही मधुघट आला,
वेदिवहित यह रस्म न छोड़ो वेदों के ठेकेदारों,
युग युग से है पुजती आई नई नहीं है मधुशाला।।५५।
वही वारूणी जो थी सागर मथकर निकली अब हाला,
रंभा की संतान जगत में कहलाती ‘साकीबाला’,
देव अदेव जिसे ले आए, संत महंत मिटा देंगे!
किसमें कितना दम खम, इसको खूब समझती मधुशाला।।५६।
कभी न सुन पड़ता, ‘इसने, हा, छू दी मेरी हाला’,
कभी न कोई कहता, ‘उसने जूठा कर डाला प्याला’,
सभी जाति के लोग यहाँ पर साथ बैठकर पीते हैं,
सौ सुधारकों का करती है काम अकेले मधुशाला।।५७।
श्रम, संकट, संताप, सभी तुम भूला करते पी हाला,
सबक बड़ा तुम सीख चुके यदि सीखा रहना मतवाला,
व्यर्थ बने जाते हो हिरजन, तुम तो मधुजन ही अच्छे,
ठुकराते हिर मंिदरवाले, पलक बिछाती मधुशाला।।५८।
एक तरह से सबका स्वागत करती है साकीबाला,
अज्ञ विज्ञ में है क्या अंतर हो जाने पर मतवाला,
रंक राव में भेद हुआ है कभी नहीं मदिरालय में,
साम्यवाद की प्रथम प्रचारक है यह मेरी मधुशाला।।५९।
बार बार मैंने आगे बढ़ आज नहीं माँगी हाला,
समझ न लेना इससे मुझको साधारण पीने वाला,
हो तो लेने दो ऐ साकी दूर प्रथम संकोचों को,
मेरे ही स्वर से फिर सारी गूँज उठेगी मधुशाला।।६०।
कल? कल पर विश्वास किया कब करता है पीनेवाला
हो सकते कल कर जड़ जिनसे फिर फिर आज उठा प्याला,
आज हाथ में था, वह खोया, कल का कौन भरोसा है,
कल की हो न मुझे मधुशाला काल कुटिल की मधुशाला।।६१।
आज मिला अवसर, तब फिर क्यों मैं न छकूँ जी-भर हाला
आज मिला मौका, तब फिर क्यों ढाल न लूँ जी-भर प्याला,
छेड़छाड़ अपने साकी से आज न क्यों जी-भर कर लूँ,
एक बार ही तो मिलनी है जीवन की यह मधुशाला।।६२।
आज सजीव बना लो, प्रेयसी, अपने अधरों का प्याला,
भर लो, भर लो, भर लो इसमें, यौवन मधुरस की हाला,
और लगा मेरे होठों से भूल हटाना तुम जाओ,
अथक बनू मैं पीनेवाला, खुले प्रणय की मधुशाला।।६३।
सुमुखी तुम्हारा, सुन्दर मुख ही, मुझको कन्चन का प्याला
छलक रही है जिसमंे माणिक रूप मधुर मादक हाला,
मैं ही साकी बनता, मैं ही पीने वाला बनता हूँ
जहाँ कहीं मिल बैठे हम तुम़ वहीं गयी हो मधुशाला।।६४।
दो दिन ही मधु मुझे पिलाकर ऊब उठी साकीबाला,
भरकर अब खिसका देती है वह मेरे आगे प्याला,
नाज़, अदा, अंदाजों से अब, हाय पिलाना दूर हुआ,
अब तो कर देती है केवल फ़र्ज़ -अदाई मधुशाला।।६५।
छोटे-से जीवन में कितना प्यार करुँ, पी लूँ हाला,
आने के ही साथ जगत में कहलाया ‘जानेवाला’,
स्वागत के ही साथ विदा की होती देखी तैयारी,
बंद लगी होने खुलते ही मेरी जीवन-मधुशाला।।६६।
क्या पीना, निर्द्वन्द न जब तक ढाला प्यालों पर प्याला,
क्या जीना, निरंिचत न जब तक साथ रहे साकीबाला,
खोने का भय, हाय, लगा है पाने के सुख के पीछे,
मिलने का आनंद न देती मिलकर के भी मधुशाला।।६७।
मुझे पिलाने को लाए हो इतनी थोड़ी-सी हाला!
मुझे दिखाने को लाए हो एक यही छिछला प्याला!
इतनी पी जीने से अच्छा सागर की ले प्यास मरुँ,
सिंधँु-तृषा दी किसने रचकर बिंदु-बराबर मधुशाला।।६८।
क्या कहता है, रह न गई अब तेरे भाजन में हाला,
क्या कहता है, अब न चलेगी मादक प्यालों की माला,
थोड़ी पीकर प्यास बढ़ी तो शेष नहीं कुछ पीने को,
प्यास बुझाने को बुलवाकर प्यास बढ़ाती मधुशाला।।६९।
लिखी भाग्य में जितनी बस उतनी ही पाएगा हाला,
लिखा भाग्य में जैसा बस वैसा ही पाएगा प्याला,
लाख पटक तू हाथ पाँव, पर इससे कब कुछ होने का,
लिखी भाग्य में जो तेरे बस वही मिलेगी मधुशाला।।७०।
कर ले, कर ले कंजूसी तू मुझको देने में हाला,
दे ले, दे ले तू मुझको बस यह टूटा फूटा प्याला,
मैं तो सब्र इसी पर करता, तू पीछे पछताएगी,
जब न रहूँगा मैं, तब मेरी याद करेगी मधुशाला।।७१।
ध्यान मान का, अपमानों का छोड़ दिया जब पी हाला,
गौरव भूला, आया कर में जब से मिट्टी का प्याला,
साकी की अंदाज़ भरी झिड़की में क्या अपमान धरा,
दुनिया भर की ठोकर खाकर पाई मैंने मधुशाला।।७२।
क्षीण, क्षुद्र, क्षणभंगुर, दुर्बल मानव मिटटी का प्याला,
भरी हुई है जिसके अंदर कटु-मधु जीवन की हाला,
मृत्यु बनी है निर्दय साकी अपने शत-शत कर फैला,
काल प्रबल है पीनेवाला, संसृति है यह मधुशाला।।७३।
प्याले सा गढ़ हमें किसी ने भर दी जीवन की हाला,
नशा न भाया, ढाला हमने ले लेकर मधु का प्याला,
जब जीवन का दर्द उभरता उसे दबाते प्याले से,
जगती के पहले साकी से जूझ रही है मधुशाला।।७४।
अपने अंगूरों से तन में हमने भर ली है हाला,
क्या कहते हो, शेख, नरक में हमें तपाएगी ज्वाला,
तब तो मदिरा खूब खिंचेगी और पिएगा भी कोई,
हमें नमक की ज्वाला में भी दीख पड़ेगी मधुशाला।।७५।
यम आएगा लेने जब, तब खूब चलूँगा पी हाला,
पीड़ा, संकट, कष्ट नरक के क्या समझेगा मतवाला,
क्रूर, कठोर, कुटिल, कुविचारी, अन्यायी यमराजों के
डंडों की जब मार पड़ेगी, आड़ करेगी मधुशाला।।७६।
यदि इन अधरों से दो बातें प्रेम भरी करती हाला,
यदि इन खाली हाथों का जी पल भर बहलाता प्याला,
हानि बता, जग, तेरी क्या है, व्यर्थ मुझे बदनाम न कर,
मेरे टूटे दिल का है बस एक खिलौना मधुशाला।।७७।
याद न आए दूखमय जीवन इससे पी लेता हाला,
जग चिंताओं से रहने को मुक्त, उठा लेता प्याला,
शौक, साध के और स्वाद के हेतु पिया जग करता है,
पर मै वह रोगी हूँ जिसकी एक दवा है मधुशाला।।७८।
गिरती जाती है दिन प्रतिदन प्रणयनी प्राणों की हाला
भग्न हुआ जाता दिन प्रतिदन सुभगे मेरा तन प्याला,
रूठ रहा है मुझसे रूपसी, दिन दिन यौवन का साकी
सूख रही है दिन दिन सुन्दरी, मेरी जीवन मधुशाला।।७९।
यम आयेगा साकी बनकर साथ लिए काली हाला,
पी न होश में फिर आएगा सुरा-विसुध यह मतवाला,
यह अंितम बेहोशी, अंतिम साकी, अंतिम प्याला है,
पथिक, प्यार से पीना इसको फिर न मिलेगी मधुशाला।८०।
ढलक रही है तन के घट से, संगिनी जब जीवन हाला
पत्र गरल का ले जब अंतिम साकी है आनेवाला,
हाथ स्पर्श भूले प्याले का, स्वाद सुरा जीव्हा भूले
कानो में तुम कहती रहना, मधु का प्याला मधुशाला।।८१।
मेरे अधरों पर हो अंितम वस्तु न तुलसीदल प्याला
मेरी जीव्हा पर हो अंतिम वस्तु न गंगाजल हाला,
मेरे शव के पीछे चलने वालों याद इसे रखना
राम नाम है सत्य न कहना, कहना सच्ची मधुशाला।।८२।
मेरे शव पर वह रोये, हो जिसके आंसू में हाला
आह भरे वो, जो हो सुरिभत मदिरा पी कर मतवाला,
दे मुझको वो कान्धा जिनके पग मद डगमग होते हों
और जलूं उस ठौर जहां पर कभी रही हो मधुशाला।।८३।
और चिता पर जाये उंढेला पत्र न घ्रित का, पर प्याला
कंठ बंधे अंगूर लता में मध्य न जल हो, पर हाला,
प्राण प्रिये यदि श्राध करो तुम मेरा तो ऐसे करना
पीने वालांे को बुलवा कऱ खुलवा देना मधुशाला।।८४।
नाम अगर कोई पूछे तो, कहना बस पीनेवाला
काम ढालना, और ढालना सबको मदिरा का प्याला,
जाति प्रिये, पूछे यदि कोई कह देना दीवानों की
धर्म बताना प्यालों की ले माला जपना मधुशाला।।८५।
ज्ञात हुआ यम आने को है ले अपनी काली हाला,
पंिडत अपनी पोथी भूला, साधू भूल गया माला,
और पुजारी भूला पूजा, ज्ञान सभी ज्ञानी भूला,
किन्तु न भूला मरकर के भी पीनेवाला मधुशाला।।८६।
यम ले चलता है मुझको तो, चलने दे लेकर हाला,
चलने दे साकी को मेरे साथ लिए कर में प्याला,
स्वर्ग, नरक या जहाँ कहीं भी तेरा जी हो लेकर चल,
ठौर सभी हैं एक तरह के साथ रहे यदि मधुशाला।।८७।
पाप अगर पीना, समदोषी तो तीनों – साकी बाला,
नित्य पिलानेवाला प्याला, पी जानेवाली हाला,
साथ इन्हें भी ले चल मेरे न्याय यही बतलाता है,
कैद जहाँ मैं हूँ, की जाए कैद वहीं पर मधुशाला।।८८।
शांत सकी हो अब तक, साकी, पीकर किस उर की ज्वाला,
‘और, और’ की रटन लगाता जाता हर पीनेवाला,
कितनी इच्छाएँ हर जानेवाला छोड़ यहाँ जाता!
कितने अरमानों की बनकर कब्र खड़ी है मधुशाला।।८९।
जो हाला मैं चाह रहा था, वह न मिली मुझको हाला,
जो प्याला मैं माँग रहा था, वह न मिला मुझको प्याला,
जिस साकी के पीछे मैं था दीवाना, न मिला साकी,
जिसके पीछे था मैं पागल, हा न मिली वह मधुशाला!।९०।
देख रहा हूँ अपने आगे कब से माणिक-सी हाला,
देख रहा हूँ अपने आगे कब से कंचन का प्याला,
‘बस अब पाया!’- कह-कह कब से दौड़ रहा इसके पीछे,
किंतु रही है दूर क्षितिज-सी मुझसे मेरी मधुशाला।।९१।
कभी निराशा का तम घिरता, छिप जाता मधु का प्याला,
छिप जाती मदिरा की आभा, छिप जाती साकीबाला,
कभी उजाला आशा करके प्याला फिर चमका जाती,
आँखिमचौली खेल रही है मुझसे मेरी मधुशाला।।९२।
‘आ आगे’ कहकर कर पीछे कर लेती साकीबाला,
होंठ लगाने को कहकर हर बार हटा लेती प्याला,
नहीं मुझे मालूम कहाँ तक यह मुझको ले जाएगी,
बढ़ा बढ़ाकर मुझको आगे, पीछे हटती मधुशाला।।९३।
हाथों में आने-आने में, हाय, फिसल जाता प्याला,
अधरों पर आने-आने में हाय, ढुलक जाती हाला,
दुनियावालो, आकर मेरी किस्मत की ख़ूबी देखो,
रह-रह जाती है बस मुझको मिलते-िमलते मधुशाला।।९४।
प्राप्य नही है तो, हो जाती लुप्त नहीं फिर क्यों हाला,
प्राप्य नही है तो, हो जाता लुप्त नहीं फिर क्यों प्याला,
दूर न इतनी हिम्मत हारुँ, पास न इतनी पा जाऊँ,
व्यर्थ मुझे दौड़ाती मरु में मृगजल बनकर मधुशाला।।९५।
मिले न, पर, ललचा ललचा क्यों आकुल करती है हाला,
मिले न, पर, तरसा तरसाकर क्यों तड़पाता है प्याला,
हाय, नियति की विषम लेखनी मस्तक पर यह खोद गई
‘दूर रहेगी मधु की धारा, पास रहेगी मधुशाला!’।९६।
मदिरालय में कब से बैठा, पी न सका अब तक हाला,
यत्न सहित भरता हूँ, कोई किंतु उलट देता प्याला,
मानव-बल के आगे निर्बल भाग्य, सुना विद्यालय में,
‘भाग्य प्रबल, मानव निर्बल’ का पाठ पढ़ाती मधुशाला।।९७।
किस्मत में था खाली खप्पर, खोज रहा था मैं प्याला,
ढूँढ़ रहा था मैं मृगनयनी, किस्मत में थी मृगछाला,
किसने अपना भाग्य समझने में मुझसा धोखा खाया,
किस्मत में था अवघट मरघट, ढूँढ़ रहा था मधुशाला।।९८।
उस प्याले से प्यार मुझे जो दूर हथेली से प्याला,
उस हाला से चाव मुझे जो दूर अधर से है हाला,
प्यार नहीं पा जाने में है, पाने के अरमानों में!
पा जाता तब, हाय, न इतनी प्यारी लगती मधुशाला।।९९।
साकी के पास है तिनक सी श्री, सुख, संपित की हाला,
सब जग है पीने को आतुर ले ले किस्मत का प्याला,
रेल ठेल कुछ आगे बढ़ते, बहुतेरे दबकर मरते,
जीवन का संघर्ष नहीं है, भीड़ भरी है मधुशाला।।१००।
साकी, जब है पास तुम्हारे इतनी थोड़ी सी हाला,
क्यों पीने की अभिलषा से, करते सबको मतवाला,
हम पिस पिसकर मरते हैं, तुम छिप छिपकर मुसकाते हो,
हाय, हमारी पीड़ा से है क्रीड़ा करती मधुशाला।।१०१।
साकी, मर खपकर यदि कोई आगे कर पाया प्याला,
पी पाया केवल दो बूंदों से न अधिक तेरी हाला,
जीवन भर का, हाय, पिरश्रम लूट लिया दो बूंदों ने,
भोले मानव को ठगने के हेतु बनी है मधुशाला।।१०२।
जिसने मुझको प्यासा रक्खा बनी रहे वह भी हाला,
जिसने जीवन भर दौड़ाया बना रहे वह भी प्याला,
मतवालों की जिहवा से हैं कभी निकलते शाप नहीं,
दुखी बनाय जिसने मुझको सुखी रहे वह मधुशाला!।१०३।
नहीं चाहता, आगे बढ़कर छीनूँ औरों की हाला,
नहीं चाहता, धक्के देकर, छीनूँ औरों का प्याला,
साकी, मेरी ओर न देखो मुझको तिनक मलाल नहीं,
इतना ही क्या कम आँखों से देख रहा हूँ मधुशाला।।१०४।
मद, मदिरा, मधु, हाला सुन-सुन कर ही जब हूँ मतवाला,
क्या गति होगी अधरों के जब नीचे आएगा प्याला,
साकी, मेरे पास न आना मैं पागल हो जाऊँगा,
प्यासा ही मैं मस्त, मुबारक हो तुमको ही मधुशाला।।१०५।
क्या मुझको आवश्यकता है साकी से माँगूँ हाला,
क्या मुझको आवश्यकता है साकी से चाहूँ प्याला,
पीकर मदिरा मस्त हुआ तो प्यार किया क्या मदिरा से!
मैं तो पागल हो उठता हूँ सुन लेता यदि मधुशाला।।१०६।
देने को जो मुझे कहा था दे न सकी मुझको हाला,
देने को जो मुझे कहा था दे न सका मुझको प्याला,
समझ मनुज की दुर्बलता मैं कहा नहीं कुछ भी करता,
किन्तु स्वयं ही देख मुझे अब शरमा जाती मधुशाला।।१०७।
एक समय संतुष्ट बहुत था पा मैं थोड़ी-सी हाला,
भोला-सा था मेरा साकी, छोटा-सा मेरा प्याला,
छोटे-से इस जग की मेरे स्वर्ग बलाएँ लेता था,
विस्तृत जग में, हाय, गई खो मेरी नन्ही मधुशाला!।१०८।
बहुतेरे मदिरालय देखे, बहुतेरी देखी हाला,
भाँित भाँित का आया मेरे हाथों में मधु का प्याला,
एक एक से बढ़कर, सुन्दर साकी ने सत्कार किया,
जँची न आँखों में, पर, कोई पहली जैसी मधुशाला।।१०९।
एक समय छलका करती थी मेरे अधरों पर हाला,
एक समय झूमा करता था मेरे हाथों पर प्याला,
एक समय पीनेवाले, साकी आलिंगन करते थे,
आज बनी हूँ निर्जन मरघट, एक समय थी मधुशाला।।११०।
जला हृदय की भट्टी खींची मैंने आँसू की हाला,
छलछल छलका करता इससे पल पल पलकों का प्याला,
आँखें आज बनी हैं साकी, गाल गुलाबी पी होते,
कहो न विरही मुझको, मैं हूँ चलती फिरती मधुशाला!।१११।
कितनी जल्दी रंग बदलती है अपना चंचल हाला,
कितनी जल्दी घिसने लगता हाथों में आकर प्याला,
कितनी जल्दी साकी का आकर्षण घटने लगता है,
प्रात नहीं थी वैसी, जैसी रात लगी थी मधुशाला।।११२।
बूँद बूँद के हेतु कभी तुझको तरसाएगी हाला,
कभी हाथ से छिन जाएगा तेरा यह मादक प्याला,
पीनेवाले, साकी की मीठी बातों में मत आना,
मेरे भी गुण यों ही गाती एक दिवस थी मधुशाला।।११३।
छोड़ा मैंने पथ मतों को तब कहलाया मतवाला,
चली सुरा मेरा पग धोने तोड़ा जब मैंने प्याला,
अब मानी मधुशाला मेरे पीछे पीछे फिरती है,
क्या कारण? अब छोड़ दिया है मैंने जाना मधुशाला।।११४।
यह न समझना, पिया हलाहल मैंने, जब न मिली हाला,
तब मैंने खप्पर अपनाया ले सकता था जब प्याला,
जले हृदय को और जलाना सूझा, मैंने मरघट को
अपनाया जब इन चरणों में लोट रही थी मधुशाला।।११५।
कितनी आई और गई पी इस मदिरालय में हाला,
टूट चुकी अब तक कितने ही मादक प्यालों की माला,
कितने साकी अपना अपना काम खतम कर दूर गए,
कितने पीनेवाले आए, किन्तु वही है मधुशाला।।११६।
कितने होठों को रक्खेगी याद भला मादक हाला,
कितने हाथों को रक्खेगा याद भला पागल प्याला,
कितनी शक्लों को रक्खेगा याद भला भोला साकी,
कितने पीनेवालों में है एक अकेली मधुशाला।।११७।
दर दर घूम रहा था जब मैं चिल्लाता – हाला! हाला!
मुझे न मिलता था मदिरालय, मुझे न मिलता था प्याला,
मिलन हुआ, पर नहीं मिलनसुख लिखा हुआ था किस्मत में,
मैं अब जमकर बैठ गया हँू, घूम रही है मधुशाला।।११८।
मैं मदिरालय के अंदर हूँ, मेरे हाथों में प्याला,
प्याले में मदिरालय बिंिबत करनेवाली है हाला,
इस उधेड़-बुन में ही मेरा सारा जीवन बीत गया -
मैं मधुशाला के अंदर या मेरे अंदर मधुशाला!।११९।
किसे नहीं पीने से नाता, किसे नहीं भाता प्याला,
इस जगती के मदिरालय में तरह-तरह की है हाला,
अपनी-अपनी इच्छा के अनुसार सभी पी मदमाते,
एक सभी का मादक साकी, एक सभी की मधुशाला।।१२०।
वह हाला, कर शांत सके जो मेरे अंतर की ज्वाला,
जिसमें मैं बिंिबत-प्रतिबंिबत प्रतिपल, वह मेरा प्याला,
मधुशाला वह नहीं जहाँ पर मदिरा बेची जाती है,
भेंट जहाँ मस्ती की मिलती मेरी तो वह मधुशाला।।१२१।
मतवालापन हाला से ले मैंने तज दी है हाला,
पागलपन लेकर प्याले से, मैंने त्याग दिया प्याला,
साकी से मिल, साकी में मिल अपनापन मैं भूल गया,
मिल मधुशाला की मधुता में भूल गया मैं मधुशाला।।१२२।
मदिरालय के द्वार ठोंकता किस्मत का छंछा प्याला,
गहरी, ठंडी सांसें भर भर कहता था हर मतवाला,
कितनी थोड़ी सी यौवन की हाला, हा, मैं पी पाया!
बंद हो गई कितनी जल्दी मेरी जीवन मधुशाला।।१२३।
कहाँ गया वह स्वर्गिक साकी, कहाँ गयी सुरिभत हाला,
कहँा गया स्वपिनल मदिरालय, कहाँ गया स्वर्णिम प्याला!
पीनेवालों ने मदिरा का मूल्य, हाय, कब पहचाना?
फूट चुका जब मधु का प्याला, टूट चुकी जब मधुशाला।।१२४।
अपने युग में सबको अनुपम ज्ञात हुई अपनी हाला,
अपने युग में सबको अदभुत ज्ञात हुआ अपना प्याला,
फिर भी वृद्धों से जब पूछा एक यही उज्ञल्तऌार पाया -
अब न रहे वे पीनेवाले, अब न रही वह मधुशाला!।१२५।
‘मय’ को करके शुद्ध दिया अब नाम गया उसको, ‘हाला’
‘मीना’ को ‘मधुपात्र’ दिया ‘सागर’ को नाम गया ‘प्याला’,
क्यों न मौलवी चौंकें, बिचकें तिलक-त्रिपुंडी पंिडत जी
‘मय-महिफल’ अब अपना ली है मैंने करके ‘मधुशाला’।।१२६।
कितने मर्म जता जाती है बार-बार आकर हाला,
कितने भेद बता जाता है बार-बार आकर प्याला,
कितने अर्थों को संकेतों से बतला जाता साकी,
फिर भी पीनेवालों को है एक पहेली मधुशाला।।१२७।
जितनी दिल की गहराई हो उतना गहरा है प्याला,
जितनी मन की मादकता हो उतनी मादक है हाला,
जितनी उर की भावुकता हो उतना सुन्दर साकी है,
जितना ही जो रिसक, उसे है उतनी रसमय मधुशाला।।१२८।
जिन अधरों को छुए, बना दे मस्त उन्हें मेरी हाला,
जिस कर को छूू दे, कर दे विक्षिप्त उसे मेरा प्याला,
आँख चार हों जिसकी मेरे साकी से दीवाना हो,
पागल बनकर नाचे वह जो आए मेरी मधुशाला।।१२९।
हर जिहवा पर देखी जाएगी मेरी मादक हाला
हर कर में देखा जाएगा मेरे साकी का प्याला
हर घर में चर्चा अब होगी मेरे मधुविक्रेता की
हर आंगन में गमक उठेगी मेरी सुरिभत मधुशाला।।१३०।
मेरी हाला में सबने पाई अपनी-अपनी हाला,
मेरे प्याले में सबने पाया अपना-अपना प्याला,
मेरे साकी में सबने अपना प्यारा साकी देखा,
जिसकी जैसी रुिच थी उसने वैसी देखी मधुशाला।।१३१।
यह मदिरालय के आँसू हैं, नहीं-नहीं मादक हाला,
यह मदिरालय की आँखें हैं, नहीं-नहीं मधु का प्याला,
किसी समय की सुखदस्मृति है साकी बनकर नाच रही,
नहीं-नहीं किव का हृदयांगण, यह विरहाकुल मधुशाला।।१३२।
कुचल हसरतें कितनी अपनी, हाय, बना पाया हाला,
कितने अरमानों को करके ख़ाक बना पाया प्याला!
पी पीनेवाले चल देंगे, हाय, न कोई जानेगा,
कितने मन के महल ढहे तब खड़ी हुई यह मधुशाला!।१३३।
विश्व तुम्हारे विषमय जीवन में ला पाएगी हाला
यदि थोड़ी-सी भी यह मेरी मदमाती साकीबाला,
शून्य तुम्हारी घड़ियाँ कुछ भी यदि यह गुंजित कर पाई,
जन्म सफल समझेगी जग में अपना मेरी मधुशाला।।१३४।
बड़े-बड़े नाज़ों से मैंने पाली है साकीबाला,
किलत कल्पना का ही इसने सदा उठाया है प्याला,
मान-दुलारों से ही रखना इस मेरी सुकुमारी को,
विश्व, तुम्हारे हाथों में अब सौंप रहा हूँ मधुशाला।।१३५।
पिरिशष्ट से
स्वयं नहीं पीता, औरों को, किन्तु पिला देता हाला,
स्वयं नहीं छूता, औरों को, पर पकड़ा देता प्याला,
पर उपदेश कुशल बहुतेरों से मैंने यह सीखा है,
स्वयं नहीं जाता, औरों को पहुंचा देता मधुशाला।
मैं कायस्थ कुलोदभव मेरे पुरखों ने इतना ढ़ाला,
मेरे तन के लोहू में है पचहज्ञल्तऌार प्रतिशत हाला,
पुश्तैनी अधिकार मुझे है मदिरालय के आँगन पर,
मेरे दादों परदादों के हाथ बिकी थी मधुशाला।
बहुतों के सिर चार दिनों
# 310… Dear Arvind
Thank you so much for remembering me… everything is alright dear.. i am always here.. can’t be away from such a dear blog , the only place i can be close to our beloved and respected AB.. hope that everything at your end is well and fine… thank you again dear.
And i want to thank everyone who had wished us in Eid and who are mentioning me in his/her greeting list.. thank you all for your kindness.
Lots of love and respect.
Also for Devkishinji #250: Glad that you reminded Amitji. He often talks about meeting the FmXt, including them in premieres, but then it never happens. I do not know what the reason is. Perhaps it is not logistically possible? Perhaps he thinks that if he invites a few (even two, as you suggested), the others left out will get angry and upset? It happened when he had lunch with some fans, some people were upset. I’m just speculating, only he knows the real reason/s. It would be nice to know, and even nicer if he were to be able to act on his wish of meeting the FmXt and inviting them for the premiere of PAA. Although I feel it is perhaps too late in the game for the latter.
Thank you for your blessings. With regards,
Jasmine
Anil Sharma #263: Agree! The pleasure and self-satisfaction of correcting someone — that too what a someone — AB himself — is perhaps irresistible. Makes one feel superior?
Jasmine
Dear Sir,
I am writing rather late today, better late than never. You will be at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan with your family, paying a tribute to your Parents and your Father’s works. God Bless.
You talk about the relationships between parents and children. Circumstances in each family are different as are personalities of family members themselves. Sharing and caring we all know is most important. Wherever there are interactions, there will be similarities in thoughts and differences. What is important is that love and respect for each other remain strong whenever there are conflicts. Sometimes difference can turn into serious problems for all concerned.
Your Post today reminds me of a friend of mine. She is such an endearing little lady..first thing she would do if she met you would be to touch your feet .She told me she wrote a letter to one of her sons who had stopped talking to her, reminding him what he meant to her and how much she loved him and what a difference he made to her life after he was born. After reading the letter, he tore it up and wrote back some humiliating nasty words..my friend was inconsolable. I told her today’s generations are not like what we used to be in our days. There seems to be a lack of understanding, lack of maturity, lack of regard, lack of values. I will ask her to read your Post, it will give her reassurance.
I’ve got to go now. Take care.
Lots of love,
Daksha
Dear Amit Sir
My hands are shivering while writing my first comment on your blog and I am not able to find the words to express my feelings about you. You are a great personality and I must say that I wish that you are my inspiration. I wish that I establish myself to such extent so that I can meet you some time in my life. To meet you inspire me a lot. Your blogs are amazing and started reading just a day back. This is a very good learning opportunity how to express the feelings in words and in a very good way. I must add to this that everyone should take a lesson from you that how to be active throughout your day. Your untiring spirit and dedication towards work encourages everyone a lot. You are the perfect example for a person to lead a very good and healthy life. Whatsoever has happened in your life; highs or lows, how you tackled then, how you established yourself, your conduct in society, with your friends, with your family; how you make people around you comfortable; means everything. If a person studies your life completely and implement the same to himself even half of it, he is successful in his life. Thats all I have to say.
May god bless you with same energy throughout your life.
Regards
Happy.
Happy 102 birthday to your dad. We know that he must be very proud of you and his family.
Just watched your BB3 latest episode. How subtely you bring out Rohit ‘s conniving nature to fore front. It also requires strength of character to talk like this politely and still make a statement. Only you can do this.
Hope you have a good time with your family.
Love
Sir,
Just because of you, I had tolerated eviction interviews of Jaya sawant, KRK,Rohit verma and Mrs Bakhtiar. If it was not you on the other side TRP of their interview would be difficult to measure.Now, I hope in near future interviews with bakhtiar and KRK will follow.I wish you good luck for those.We will manage somehow.
Madam Jasmin Jaywant would kindly forgive me for making such a blunt comment. I hope devikishanji would understand my agony.
Thanks to rajneesh tripthi for the memoir.
Regards,
Anand
Melwyn, Sharmila, Archana, Vikas (Kuwait): thank you for your kind words. My heart, my achy breaky heart (recently broken by Devkishinji!) perhaps has a chance of getting healed after all.
Devkishinji: you are in full form today! Loved your comment @ #314! Keep ‘em coming!
Jasmine
mr bachchan like everyone else m also a fan of urs n so is my family…i m nobody to question u or correct u…but on more humanitarian note i didnt lyk ur commment on raju srivastava in bb3….he is a comedian n making someone laugh is the greatest art….by saying wat u said …it is demoralising n demotivating a person….u must have had ur own reasons…but passing such a commment made me think twice was it amitabh bachchan who said that…..my apologies if i m wrong….
thnks
loads of love…
Reeham #358: So nice to see you! I missed you too, and was wondering about you. Thanks to Arvind for calling you back. It is good that you are always around, but please do also write sometimes! I hope you had a happy Eid.
Love,
Jasmine
He is Srisanth and not Srikanth.
Thanks,

AND ABOVE ALL AMITABH ZIIBBU AND HIS SHAHENSHAH ‘PITAMAH’ THE LIVING LEGEND AMITABH BACHCHAN
Respected Sir,
Want to ask a question that is always troubling me these days.How to make decision if on one side i have my father who is not having any confidence in me but i think he needs me and on the other side i have my carrer away from my native town.What to choose Career/Family? Plz. guide me…..
************************************************************************************************
Dear Amitji,
As I wrote in my previous post Harivanshrai ji will always stay in our hearts through his poems…centuries will come and go but his poems will stay…
Indeed a good game of cricket and good effort by Indian team. The player who got man of the match is Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, hopefully he will concentrate on his game and will maintain his fitness and performance.
Vinay

#142 Anil Sharma, I see the frustration that you feel in not being able to be in first few.
I feel Manish Parmar uses software to monitor the blog and as soon as it is up he would paste his already pre-written post. If you notice his todays response has nothing to do with the post from Amitabh but just one line added in the end and attaching whole bunch of other names to his post to feel important or attention I guess. There are lots of different reasons people do what they do.
But besides I find some really good dedicated and sincere writers here on the blog like Satyam. I read those regardless of which number they are at. I hardly find anything of substance in 1-50/60. And than there are other few that just react to everything regardless of good or bad as long as its a friend. I just ignore them.
We always have a choice.
Para.
BEST WISHES for your father’s 102nd birth anniversary and wish you all the best for tomorrow .
May God Bless you always
@ 354 JASMINE
IT WAS NEVER A GUESS. YOUR WRITE-UPS ARE ALWAYS A JOY TO READ. YOUR COMMAND OVER LANGUAGE IS SECOND TO NONE,LUCID,AND WELL-PHRASED. THE FLOW OF WORDS IS LIKE PURE WATERS OF GANGES FERTILIZINGNG THE BARREN LAND.YOU ARE SIMPLY MATCHLESS.
GOD BLESS YOU
Sir,
This is the first time I am visiting your blog. I’d heard a lot about it but, not being too much of a ‘blogging enthusiast’, I did not ever visit your site before.
I just watched the 28th November episode of BB3 and felt strongly about something that I would like to bring to your notice. It is indeed a pleasure to see you speaking with the evicted contestants and address their problems. But today, I felt you went a little too far with Rohit. I agree he did a lot of ‘bad’ things in the house and you were right to point it out to him in the manner you did. my concern is that, you are normally not so ‘picky’ with other contestants. when krk was evicted, after behaving like an insane animal, you sat him down and had an almost informal ‘evening chat’ instead of grilling him like you grilled Rohit.
why the inconsistency? is it because rohit is relatively a weaker personality with a lesser fan following thank KRK? will you grill raju and vindu in a similar manner whenever they are evicted? whatever it is, thats the only thing that I dint feel good about.
Otherwise, it is an absolute pleasure to see you every friday and saturday. you have definitely transformed BB’s image with your presence and content.

Thank you n love always

I also felt that Amitabhji was bit too harsh while interviewing Rohit. But then one should be prepared for all sorts of experiences when one enters the Reality show like Bigg Boss and earns lacs .
Rohit had already been exposed through the recordings shown on TV and he apparantly felt ashamed of his villainous behaviour in the house.Amitabhji just wanted to know the reason for Rohit’s strange behaviour.I think Amitabh’s action will only benefit Rohit who opened up on the show and peeped into his stormy past.
Hiii….. Amit Uncle…….
How’z u?
You are a very sweet person in this world,who knows about his responsibilities,culture and everything, in a Different manner……..

Sir ,
Writing you for the first time so this piece of info may sounds little bit strange to you but really very die hard fan of yours , having signs of police LATHIS on my chest A LA BIG B in MARD for commiting the crime to have a glimpse of his favourite star during his INODRE visit promoting SARKAR RAJ . But I strongly request you to read my second comment on why does a film flop which is a very rational and logical presentation of film’s performance at BOX OFFICE . But read some comments on your article on FATHER .
I really feel pitty for the person called FATHER – He always tries to do the best for his son but all sons are like me only always remains dissatisfied with FATHER , always complaining , always shouting , always criticizing , that father has done nothing for him. I am one such son who expect his father just like that of BIG B quoting that he has done so much for ABHISHEK but not realizing the fact that Mr. HARIVNASH RAI BACHCHAN was not able to do much for his son because his experience in poetry has no direct link with making films . Every Son wants to become Mr Abhishek not the Mr Amitabh . I forget the fact that whatever I am it is just because of my father but I remember that whatever I am not it is just because of him. If I have the right to criticize , to shout on my father for not being the BIG B then why I forget that he too has the same right to rebuke me , to criticize me for not making him as proud as of MR. HARIVANSH RAI BACHCHAN .
I am writing all this to you because I scored very low in a Psychological test , titled as Know Yourself Or Explore Yourself conducted at our Management Development Programme.
Mr. Vasu Bahganani tried his best for making his son as STAR but now as the writing is clear on the wall VICKY BHAGNANI may be going through the most difficult phase of his life . Every son has to pass this psychological conflict in his life wheteher Harman Bawaja or Vicky Bhagnani thinking that as the father is getting older thus lost his sense of making a successfully film like BIWI NO. 1 .
My father has been a very dashing and handsome man during his young age as I have seen his photographs of that time . Had he tried in films rather than wasting his time in teaching poor students at a GOVT. School , I would have got the hand of someone as beautiful as Ms AISHWARYA RAI by now . As far as Hard work goes there are thousands out here who are more talented, more handsome and doing hardest form of the work but they don’t have a father like BIG B so has to fight most naked form of the struggle .
May god pardon me from all my evil thoughts , because as far as I am struggling this evil criticism of father is bound to remain with me . Every son has it nevertheless some of them disclose it like me and some manipulate it hypocritically .
May be next time VASU BHGNANI may read my article and may not repeat his mistakes so that his son can join the community of ABHISHEK , RITIK ——the list is limited because not many people with successful father.
Hopefully you too forgive me for my evil thoughts .
Yours Truly
Deepak
dear and respected amitji,
first of all best wishesh for the paa hope and wish it will do great hope ye film dhoom macha degi.
i like the way you host all the shows wether it is kbc or bb3. the way you explain and comment on the situation is excillent.
you are a living icon for many and mine as well.
i ive in mumbai and hope to see you one day i been to your ‘pratiksha’ so many tine and stood there for long to have a glim of you but never succeed.
any way thanks for every thing you gave to india and indian films.
i think you should stand in election and change the politics of india as you do in movie b’cos we got tierd of these courept politics. wesee small country like dubai,japan,hongkong,bangkok and many more grows much faster then india in basic infra and public needs and our politcion are doing nothing but mking money by making new schemes and plan and shift that money to outer country,
ye log hmere des ko khkhla kar rahe hai aur hum log kuch nahi kar paa rahe sirf inhe ye sab karta dekh sakte hi aur inke bare me bo sakte hai.
ok good night
Res Sir , you will definitely find this mail more interesting and worthy to read .. a genuine promise ..
I have a very concrete answer of a million dollar question that what is the recipe of producing a HIT film. People paid crores to star to add a cushion against probability of failure . Still film failed then they blamed star . Stars to save themselves blame piracy , dud storyline , CDs , internet etc. etc. But consider Mera Naam Joker, Akela, Toofan, JAdugar with mega stars in them and still failed , moreover there were no TV, Satellite channels, CDs , Piracy that time still many movies got bombed at BOX OFFCIE despite huge star cast, good music like SATYAM SHIVAM SUNDARAM. . So why to blame over exposure of stars on TV , MEDIA or growth of satellite channels , CDs , Piracy etc. etc. for the failure of a movie. The reason is people simply do not produce which audience wants to see . Most of producers and directors are idiosyncratic living with their self fulfilling prophecies in closed boundaries of studio where a talented struggler may have to spend his whole life just into entering the iron gates of the studio. No industry is as closed as the film Industry except few people like you who are open and at least hear to a commoner film fanatic .
Recently I watched a film Aankhiyo ke jharokhe se , . Despite low level of technology and low budget constraints and no star power the movie has it all to attract audiences . Take any movie of Mr. Subhash Ghai ( ofcourse upto Khal Nayak only ) and you will find in its every frame not only the good work but his joy of making the movie is reflected . If you enjoy the process of doing something then it is bound to produce excellent results thus a HIT film. But now you just see his face in his recent films , it reflects only stress , tension and depression . It looks that He is not enjoying the film making anymore and commercialization has taken a toll on his creative abilities . His priority has changed from producing a good film to producing a profit making film which the market and his debtors demand and not the real audience . . Thus the result is a flop . I always quoted Mr. Ghai because he is a favourite director of mine however it’s a different thing that all my efforts to contact him are in vain because he is not very much accessible to everyone .
Further what I have discussed just now can be generalized to the whole film industry. Everyone is doing everything except the most important thing that has made them so rich, popular and able to do these other things.
Here lies the secret of popularity and reliability of AAMIR KHAN . Except him every actor and actress is doing everything other then choosing and acting in good films. Salman Khan is busy in flaunting his body so sanjay dutt and govinda is in politics. SRK , the self proclaimed king , is busy in cricket , real estate , dancing in marriages and flaunting his wealth and six pack abs . He has forgotten that when he delievered super hits like DDLG , KKHH , he has a single frame personality with hardly any abs. Salman Khan delivered Maine pyar kiya not because taking off his shirt but by choosing a good film and doing it with full attention.
A macro trend is quite visible in the film industry . Earlier film stars were known to set the trend and a new fashion but now they are themselves are swayed away by the current trends . Like Muscles building is a trend that ritik roshan set in but then his seniors and bigger stars are forced to build their muscles . SRK and AAMIR must be cursing Ritik that because of him they are forced to do such hard labour that too in their old age of 40s I think people still want to watch simple things. Remember the old time songs and dance sequences in which the lyrics , the expression maters more then the body jerking dance steps . But now in the name of REMIX or HIP HOP songs are unnecessarlity inserted in the film . In these songs which has no connection with story Actor stare at camera more then doing acting. Hero with stone like face and Heroine with all their skin keep on dancing with a mob of 20 -25 extras . Billu Barber , Ek Khiladi Ek hasina are the example of such songs to which audience only tolerate rather then enjoying and their film makers thought that these songs would bring the people to the theater. I told you that simply producers are not producing the films audience really enjoy to watch. Question is for whom you are making the film. If it is for some college going youngsters and some metro audiences then things are different but a film with all India appeal must offer some moments of relaxation to the viewers and not this English mix nonsense lyrics like LOVE KOI JANNE NAA LIMIT —LOVE MERA HIT HIT. A song that can force people to listen to its every word attentively in order to take full enjoyment is like YASHOMATI MAIYA SE BOLE NANDLALA from SATYAM SHIVAM SUNDERAM , here the hard work is very much visible in choosing the words of the song. Even in contemporary songs I like lyrics of JUG SUNAA SUNAA LAAGE from OM SHANTI OM . But it is very sad that in today’s film there is overemphasis on physical qualities rather than on intellectual abilities.
Film people have always been ahead in terms of intellectual development form the rest of the country therefore they are able to set the trend. The theory of DHARMA and KARMA I read only recently but Mr. Ghai used this word in his movie KARMA 20 years back . And believe me at that time no one in our time was able to relate this word KARMA with the word KARM or acts or deeds . Even my father thought it is a new word from foreign origin. This shows the intellectually advance Mr Subhash Ghai due to which he was able to mesmerize the relatively less literate audience for 30 years. But now things are almost reversed . Film industry increasingly putting emphsise on ascription rather then achievement and the rest of India growing literate surpassing Industry’s people. Now a days in every middle class home you may find Engineers , MBAs . On the other hand Industry is not able to attract intellectuals because of its closed doors for the merit. . I want to become manager in a MNC because I know that how to do it . there is CAT exam for which I should prepare then IIMs and finally the MNC at campus. On the other hand if I want to become an actor or writer then I am really not sure about my path . No gurantee that a particular path will finally lead you to your destination . This gloomy future in films stopped intelligent brains from entering into industry . Such deprivation of intelligence will produce only FLOPS . So when people are more knowledgeable then Mr. Ghai then they can’t be mesmerized by him anymore thus he is churning out flops and more flops . He has only one option to hire some intelligent people but he too prefer ascription over achievement . He relied on SALMAN and ZYED KHAN more than his own students form WHISTELING WOOD . I visited his institute and found utter sense of dissatisfaction there . After spending 18 lakhs on their courses , students were not given any substantial assignments in YUVRAAJ . He has students in acting courses there so why he hired Katrina amd Salman . It clearly shows his lack of confidence on himself to produce a HIT film without STAR power. When leader himself is not confident enough then the armada bound to end in defeat . This explain the exact reason for disaster YUVRAAJ . Again I heard that he is trying to rope in Madhuri Dixit for his next project , again committing the same mistake. This makes sense for me to join a boring govt. job rather then venturing out in the film industry full of ascription , consanguineous and affinal relatives.
If you remember then just by observing promos of AA DEKHE JARA I have written to you that this is going to be a failure . A simple thing which an amateaur like me can understand then why not its prodeucers ? And still they are blaming the multiplex strike as the reason for its BOX OFFICE failure . Quite strange is’nt it. .
Even in most expected HIT of this year DELHI-6 , the most notable flop of the year I found many rational reasons for its being flop . Had Rakesh Omprakash offered me an opportunity to watch it before its release I would have advised him following :
He is addressing many problems in one movie like casteism , communalism , famlily relations, migration and accomdation while each has so much appeal that whole film can be made on each problem. If you go by the theory of renowned historian BIPIN CHANDRA on communalism then this subject has potential for a full fledged movie just like BOMBAY by MANIRATNAM . The film ended up as a small time drama rather than a film . You can compare the scenes of communal riots with that of BOMBAY .
His Rang De Basanti was a hit because no one can deny the charisma of AMIR KHAN . This HERO is blesses by talent as well as by extraordinary luck . So Rakesh should remember more his AKS than Rang de Basanti before doing any project without AAMIR .
Film lacks entertainment , though it has very good social message but KKHH or DDLG can deliver BOX OFFICE result easily then such art films.
If he wants to project it as a film with social message then why JALLEBI looks so glamorous . In art movie woman as object of desire must have look like SMITA PATIL who was beautiful but not glamrous .
Storyline was not properly developed Just see film have very beautiful music and song , a very rare phenomena in today’s time , but still no perfect situation in the film to put a song thus all songs got wasted. Really sad ., is’nt it ?
Film also lacks creativity . Songs would have picturised more creatively . For eg. REHNA TU JAISA HAI TU was wasted . I think a dark background with close up of hero sitting on a chair , the movement of eyeballs, eyelid, eyebrow, lips, and cheeks are synchoronising with the song going in the background . You just listen to this song and think of the facial expression just like Madhuri did in RAJA aankhiya milau kabhi aankhiyo churao and you will find brilliant USP(unique selling proposition) FOR THE FILM COULD have been created. But is not done .
Had Mr. Rakesh Mehra taken care of of these factors film would not have met the same fate .
Same is quite visible in TV also. Production houses and Ekta Kapoor attributed the success of legendry serial on DD like RAMAYAN , MAHABHARAT , YEH JO HAI JINDAGI, KAKAJI KAHIN to its monopoly at that time and option less audience but even that time many serials got flopped . Frankly speaking Mahabharat was far far better than the EKTA KAPOOR’S melodrama that looks more like a fashion show rather than a serial. Today’s Marketing hype has replaced the quality . Kakaji Kahin , Mungeri LAl Ke hasin Sapne were also unique ideas but their people paid more attention on producing quality serials rather then popularizing uniqueness of the idea vociferously unlike today’s people who are more interested in gaining popularity by highlighting uniquness of their idea for eg. BALIKA WADHU or BHAGYA VIDHATA . There are so many posters and outdoor advt. that it looks serial people are praising themselves more than COLMBUS for their discovery of such unique concepts. My idea is if someone invented a new idea then ok but now he/she should work on it rather then highlighting the achievement of discovering everytime in media. You just listen to the dialogues of RAMAYANA or MAHABHARAT , such dialogues force you immerse into deep thinking because every word choosen for writing these has a very deep rooted meaning into itself reflecting the hard work of production team. On the other hand in KTA KAPOOR’s serial there is no thinking at all except the name should begin with “K” , there is rubbish movement of cameras , shooting an emotion less face from three to four angles and wasting the time of viewers by showing it from all angles with noisy background music .
Though the things are not so smooth and rosy what it looks to an outsider like me . I may be wrong that just by writing an article I can make a film HIT as there are people form legendry families who are yet to establish themselves like Rahul Khanna , Fardeen , Zyed Khan, Shadab Khan, Puru Rajkumar, Aryan Babbar, Juhi Babbaar , Son of Mr. rikku rakesh nath , Mimoh, Sikander Kher —-the list is endless . But it is also true that there are grave mistakes or rational reasons behind failure of their films , the only need is an honest introspection . So no need for me to get de motivated or discouraged even after listening a very realistic song from the movie GARDISH

Dear Sh. Amitabh Bachchan Ji
Like thousands of other viewers I also watch BB3 for you only. Your presence has added a new dimension to the otherwise drab show. So far no body has raised their voice against Bindu’s excesses. At times his activities simply become abominating.
If Rohit gets your piece of mind (and others too) for his (their) deeds in the house, it is time Bindu be told to mend his ways. Or is “Colours” silently backing Bindu because he is Akshay Kumar’s candidate?
Shall be obliged if you throw some light on this. At least India can expect this much transparency from Big B.
See you in Paa…

It was indeed an exceptionally extraordinary evening! I am thankful to Payal who showed me the way to make it.. as I had failed despite the assurance by Aishwarya.. I could make it to the last rows of the balcony was great enough for me..
An elaborate account shall follow.. yet I must say here what I Liked the most.. The best from you was Buddha aur nach ghar.. The best from Pushpaji was the Bareilly incidence the first meeting of the senior Bachchans in 1941 December.. the combined effort from you and Jaya ji was good but the second generation proved too good as they lined up one after the other.. I liked Museebat by Abhisbhek as the best..
In fact during your Madhushal recitation I had joined you once in a while.. how would you know I was the farthest from you.. yet I felt totally under our spell.. some of the other poetry were the first time for me.. akelepan ka bal was quite meaningful..Son machchari was beautifully rendered..
I think my short summary has said quite a bit.. I did take notes.. so there is more to discuss and share with the EF..
Thanks for the wonderful evening.. I could not bring Amrit for my fears which had almost proved right.. I struggled for more than an hour till I could somehow manage the pass.. I should thank Payal once again for showing the way..
Love Affection and Regards
Abhaya Sharma
PS I did hand over two of my poetry about Dr. Bachchan – Kabi Bchchan ke Jeevan mein and Kavi ka samman to Aishwarya-Abhishek.. I think you knew about my presence in the balcony.. if you did not.. it does not matter.. I wish you should do more of such program.. You proved to be excellent on the stage as was the music by Viju Shah.. my special thanks to Dr. Pushpa Bharati.. Had she read about my suit problem on the blog.. it was quite interesting to relive with Dr. Bachchan through all of you Ajitabh should have joined as well.. it is all right..his presence was great enough.. my congratulations to Namrata for her illustrations..

Archana # 319: What i mean is that Amit Ji can write his blog whenever it is convenient to him and then his staff can post it at a particular time. (Of course you then will miss the suspense we have now that when is he going to post his next blog !).
MANOJ KUMAR OJHA # 355 : Sorry ! I appreciate your feelings and love for Bigb.
Jasmine Jaywant #360 : Thanks for agreeing with me. (
Para #373 : There is a lot of truth in what you have mentioned. Its just an apprehension that AB may not notice if you are too far down the line. Idea was to give an equal opportunity to all (almost all !). Anyway, its just a suggestion.

“MAY THIS IDD BLOSSOM UP YOUR LIFE WITH HAPPINESS AND SPREAD THE FRAGRANCE OF PEACE ALL AROUND.” AMEN
Mr. Bachchan,
Once again it was disappointing to see you in a -ve mood , it was not a pleasant sight to see you grill someone who had already accepted his defeat and was already shattered ( Rohit ) .
If baktayar could forgive Rohit who had personally damaged Bakhtayar to an extent , your approach towards Rohit was not called for.
You gained popularity in Corepati because of your humane approach and ability to connect with ppl and give them respect , love and moral Support .
Your Modus has become reverse now . You enjoying the plight by proving Rohit wrong in all steps was not called for …If other housemates could understand Rohit’s state of mind and sympathies with him on a/c of his personality the way he is ..why was it so difficult for you to understand .
Please change before it is too late … its very painful for us to see you this way.
Best Regards,

Dear Amitji,
Nice to see that you invited rohit on the premiere of Paa. It was really nice of you….
One more thing whoever are participating in Big Boss all are really very praise worthy because every person has positive and negative side but to have the courage to lead the life for 24 hrs in front of camera is really not everyone would like to do.
#309 Aishwarya: thanks for your kind words, but during my travel I’ll not stop reading the daily post & comments, never!
, I’ll follow Amitji’s example, he always wrote for the EF and read our comments everywhere; Then I go to another country, but I did not move from here h.
Eid Mubarak!!!

Madam welcome to Amitabhji’s Blog.At the outset i congratulate you for being part of amitabhji’s ”Bachchan Sandhya” celebrations at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.
Sachin,your husband, is one of the finest actors in contemporary cinema. His portrayal of Subhash Chandra Bose was brilliant .He has striking resemblace to great freedom fighter and brave son of india Mr Bose. I also liked Sachin’s performance in Tathastu.
With best wishes,
Devkishin Vyas
Anand Khare #364: I am just another person here on the blog, just as you are. I have no special rights or privileges, who am I to forgive you? And I did not see anything objectionable about your comment in the first place. You have every right to express your opinions and thoughts, just like everyone else. But thank you for your respectfulness, it says a lot about you.
By the way, I tried watching BB3, but cannot stand it, so I do not watch it at all. I actually agree with what you have said, and I only watch the portions when Amitji is there and when he is speaking. I even FF the recaps of the happenings inside the house when Amitji is presenting (because the only way I can watch it is on youtube).
I also feel Amitji should not have, and should not in the future, associate with such shows. He is carrying the Bachchan name, the great Harivanshji’s legacy, and has a huge responsibility in what he promotes. I was not happy, like many of us, when he announced to us his decision to be a part of BB3, but in the end, he is his own man and we have to respect and accept his decision.
Best wishes to you,
Jasmine Jaywant
Bigg Boss is rocking. After Rohit’s exit the atmosphere in the house is slowly getting back to normal.No Narad— no plotting no shedding of tears and no tension.
Vindu is still defiant and over-confident.Surprisingly Kamaal is keeping a low profile .
Pravesh and Claudia better behave properly . The millions are watching their antics and they may again be put behind bars for their romantic overtures.
Para #373: You have a good strategy. I do pretty much the same, read some comments and skip a lot. There are some really knowledgeable writers here, and I totally agree that Satyam tops the list. I love reading his comments as well (although sometimes I don’t understand everything! But that is my ignorance). Focusing on the good stuff works for me, just like it does for you.
But apart from knowledge and writing abilities, the people here have other strengths that I love and admire — humor, loyalty, kindness, affection, positive energy, cheerfulness, sharing meaningful things with everyone. I go to the comments by people who display these qualities.
I don’t know how long you have been here, but yes, people here have forged friendships, they address each other and exchange ideas and thoughts. I think it is wonderful. I am sorry that it bothers you.
Yes, some people like to be #1 — to each his/her own. I do not grudge them their attempt. If it makes them happy, and if we don’t care anyway who is at number one, what does it matter to us? Manish Parmar is a very nice human being, and I am happy for him when he is at number one.
Too bad I can’t exchange thoughts with you, since you will have ignored my comment!!!
Best wishes,
Jasmine Jaywant
Devkishinji #375: Now I’m floored! Awwwww….It will still take me a few days to recover from this! Very sweet of you, but I’m actually embarassed at the lavishness of your praise Thank you kindly.
Amitji is writing his post, the comments are not moving!!
Abhaya: I’m SO HAPPY for you that you got to see the event! Your persistence paid off! Hooray. “Himmat kare insan to kya ho nahin sakta.” Thanks for sharing, and please write more. Thanks to your and Mrs. Khedekar’s comments, I got to know a little bit about what transpired.
Jasmine
Dear Mr. Bachan
I am very big fan of yours. It is kind advice to you that you need some rest. Your acting is not more good and you are wasting your time and our as well. We watch your film having impression of Amitab of 70 and 80s but of course could not find a pinch of any acting of that calibre. So please for God sake be at home and take some rest.
Dear Mard,
hope u r well.please invite akki and ajay in Paa releasing date.
Hi Mr Bachchanji,
Happy 102nd Birthday of yr beloved fatehr Mr.Harivanshrai Bachchan.
May god bless yr father’s sole.
DR PRAVIN P PATEL.
Thanks Jasmine (Jaywant), for your comment #139..
You are so very eloquent in your writings and i enjoy reading your comments related to Amitabh’s posts. I love reading his blog everyday and I am glad to see that we are all like minded in many ways. Above all, I think I am enjoying seeing the “person” being the “super star” and that in the final analysis, we’re all human. Not that I did not know that before, but somehow Amitabh’s blogs have shed more light on the fact that he is “real” and not some distant being!
If you know what I mean ; -)
# 406 – Jasmine Jaywant,
I agree completely with your comments here regarding reality shows like BB3. The Bachchan brand should not be associated with such shows.
Love always,

Hello from Romania, much love Roxana!
Just got a break from the kitchen. I made some sevia, Makai wadas, Maru Bhajias, all being eaten while father and son are pressing buttons on the remote control and munching away.
I have also passed my ACT’s ( Accuracy checking technician ) course. Just got to do the telephone interview, then after the probation period, I will get my certificate and will be left to do all the checking!!! I always wanted to do the course and this year it was offered to me and I am glad it is all nearly over.
It seems NO POST to-day, hope our Dear Sir is resting!!!
Thank you: No 198: Dear Anat and Valorie Adams. It feels so good to have him home. It is birthday on the 30th and he wanted to spend it with us. Unfortunately my daughter didn’t get time off so will have to have another party near X’mas.My regards and pranams to all FmXt especially to those brothers and sisters celebrating Eid this week-end. Hope you are all enjoying the Happy days.
Pranams to all. I better go back in the kitchen ( my second dispensary ) for more cooking!!!!
Dear AB
A very happy birthday to you and through you to your Father.
It was a nice post and i liked reading it, as it was my birthday too.
love u loads

Wonder what came over you while interviewing Rohit. That guy is a slime ball, but you didn’t have to be so hard on him. I don’t understand as a pop philosopher what is your role in this program. Is it to shred someone’s self esteem (or whatever he had left) to pieces? Your biasis are very obvious, you have picked your favs and are really very sweet to them. I also feel there is a subtle attempt by you to influence viewers re. your favs. They may be the right candidates to win, but if Big Boss can empower you to root for them, then this show is bogus. I think you got a bit too personal with Rohit. I am by no means a Rohit fan, but there is something called evenhandedness which you miserably failed at.

Sir,
A very Good Morning
I am reading lot of criticism here on the comment board for Aakhiri Slaam,even i agree on the fact that we have been harsh on Rohit Verma.I dont think he can use the same decisions what a so called normal man can use under the same circumstances.We can be worst then him,even.Like what was done to Sherlyn.If someone is not going to give us proper attention we throw the fellow out as if we are someone who is so Important in the world,may be the person might be busy in his or her own personal problems.rather than helping we shout why that fellow is not giving proper attention to us……….let it be.
I have listened Madhushala completely in your voice when i was 15,read Mr.Harivansh Bachhan’s Poems in my Tenth Hindi Books.

Dear Mr. Bachchan:
I had messaged you a while back, perplexed with the way people were reprimanded, humiliated and even punished for not speaking in a certain language. Yesterday I took a second shot at the show.
I have been wondering since, why are people free to use foul language, without any consequences. What does bleeping the foul words really do? Or is it counterproductive beacuse it underscores the indecency of what was said.
I am not sure if this blog is read by you, or by an assitant or whether my protest has substance or significance for you. However, I feel compelled to voice my concern, for I don’t believe in waiting on things to change.
I hope you will consider what I have said, and, of course, exercise your insight on the issue. Do condone my inexperience if I am missing a rather simple point. As my father says, I am still a young grasshopper.
Best,
Aparna Watal
For some of us…God has chosen o become an adult even before we completed the child hood ..I lost my father at the age of 14 and my mom at the age of 28, never been able to connect with either of them with a mature mind…though for mom , I am thankful as I do have the collection of beautiful evenings spent with her, father I barely remember a few things, worst is the fate of my brother who does nto remember anything except racing him to the bus stops and wioth my mom he was studying in a different state after 12th and had joined us only three months back before she departed. She didn’t even see him rise in his job and nor did she saw his grand marriage. After struggling with her body and life raising two kids,throgh all hardships she finally left when it was time for her to sit and comfortably enjoy life.
God’s ways are at times sop unfair..call it Karma, fate, destiny. To all those who neglect their parents I say, enjoy them while you can as once gone you will never be a kid again ever.
looking forward for PAA…..All the best!!
Reeham :
Its a relief to hear from you.
I read what you write every blog. You seem to possess one of those real golden kind heart. Had not seen you write for quite some time. so was worried a bit.

Madam,
Thanks for agreeing with me on this issue. I was very apprehensive about the reaction before going on record with the negative comment. Tried to resist it but could not help it.I also watch this show only on Fri &Sat for Amitabh Bachhan.
Devikishenji has not given any reaction. I will take it as a tacit agreement on this issue.
Regards,
Anand
Please accept my congratulations on having achieved an epitome in father-son relationship.
God Bless.
Hello Mr. Bachchan,
Wishing you All The Best for PAA….
Take care.. God Bless…

Dear Amit Paa,
Its not that i never wanted to meet u or see u from a distance.I never tried but always admired u as a person, as a human being.I grew up seeing ur movies. The depth u put into ur roles, ya this is all reel stories an acting. But in real life also the way u carry urself the reponses u give in any adversity, o my god no words. My father died when i was 5yrs old. I dont know what a father is, looking at my husband i feel if fathers are like this then gud that i didnt hav one, but looking at you, your bond with your children the way Abhishek cares for u, may be you have the same bond with your daughter Shweta, I… I.. just wished i too had a dad like this, like u. I love to see the screen space shared by you and Abhishek in all your films, the dance by you two in KANK, its really a feast to your eyes to see father son dancing on screen together , it can be seen on your face the love for your son. how i wish for a father like this. I just love whole of ur family which has been completed by the arrival of Aishwarya. Eagerly waiting to see “Paa”. Its going to b a huge success. “MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY”, and may you live a long life free of any worries.Regards

i’m sharing it here. http://www.forumkerala.com/malayalam-cinema/3387-celebrity-quotes-mohanlal-last-added-surya-lals-body-language-like-music-p61-2.html
I just read your post and was touched by your inspiring words.. God shower his mighty blessing on you. Your fan from the very childhood of mine as of today.
hi , amitsirji,
all the best for PAA.
hello BIG B… .if VINDU DARA SINGH is out of BIG BOSS 3 then whole Shimla will stop watching the show.I hate PARVESH RANA and BAKHTIYAAR…..even RAJU BHAIYA is showing his dark side.Please do something to expose them.They are real politicians and are working undercover.I REALLY HATE THEM….VINDU is LIVEWIRE of BIG BOSS 3…if he is out iam definitely sure that India will stop watching the show due to the negative emotions being created inside the house.
Beautifully written, always look forward to your posts. Had me worried there, has been a while since you posted! Glad you are ok though, always enjoy reading your rich and deep articles.
Hello, Sir… i m a great fan of yours…Your movie Paa is releasing and my wishes r with u.. You know sir, In this world people have spectacular talent.. From a common man to elite people.. everybody has a talent hidden in them.. In this Universe there is so much of pandamonium.. People are running after the money.. nd for the money they can do anything, they leave humanity…If a child is born with certain disabilities, he is considered as a curse in India… But i want to know why????…. everybody in this universe has a right to enjoy.. people with disabilities have a special ability hidden in them.. our perceptions about them should change….When will we learn??… Sorry, sir but this is so.. Ur movie Paa is releasing and media is telecasting ur promos all the time.. before ur movie Paa i did not know about progeria..But has it ever happened that media ever telecasted about children born with disabilities???… Is any one there to discover their hidden talent… My answer is “No”… Sir u go to the rural areas and see, children with disabilities r treated as hell.. they r as a curse to their family… no one is to discover their talent.. Sir, u donate millions of rupees into the charity… i m glad that u have come up with a brilliant idea and i hope this would change the perceptions about children who are not “disabled” but “differently abled”… again,, who will understand wht i m tryin to say.. My blog would be on the 441 no. nd no one would evn read it..
after the relese of the movie the media would give ratings nd after some time poeple would forget the movie.. but is this a movie to forget???… this perception should be made correct…we should change our thoughts..
Thank You,

I agree with the above post. Personally I cannot understand why you would not want to make an effort in this regard anyway. Only the other day, at work we had exactly the same conversation and came to a similar closing
I found this post extremely edifying. thank you very much!
