DAY 625

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

Posted on: January 7, 2010 - 4:10 am


The Gateway Hotel, Ahmedabad           January 6/7,  2010            Wed/ Thu  2 : 49


Naked emotions, devoid of any hindrances presented and expressed as nature designed them for humans, or as many believe God the Almighty may have, have a release that remains unmatched in our recorded or unrecorded history. It somnambulates, drives us in an exhausted drain of energy to slumber. But it invigorates. Invigorates to carry function and obligation with some responsibility.

My condition may have been similar,  but obligation must never be ignored. An emotion of gratitude and consent by a dignitary that holds office, can become overwhelming. I find myself in such state. Mr Narendra Modi, Chief MInister of the state of Gujarat, in his hospitality and generous demeanor, has through process registered that our film Paa shall be granted tax exemption, the paper work provided falling into place.

He lives simply and with mere basic needs and most unlike the head of a State. He speaks with affection on development and progress. He is welcoming to fresh ideas and ideals. His oft repeated phrase of him being a CM, a common man, is not misunderstood. He does and acts as he speaks. He talks of raising the level of awareness for his state through tourism and I volunteer to participate in any activity that would help promote that. Did you know or were you aware that the largest number of heritage sites in the country are in Gujarat ? This away from the historic Dwarka Nagari that lies submerged under the sea and is a subject of discovery and research, where architecture and monuments and complete palaces lie buried underneath. The rann - a massive and wide expanse of miles of white soil, that glows like it was imbedded with millions of diamonds in the night, separating our borders with our neighbors Pakistan. The historic temples - Somnath and Dwarka ji and endless places of great history, all within and still unknown to most of us. So much richness in our own and yet we cherish that which is not ours at times.

He has invited his entire cabinet to the showing along with all relevant bureaucrats and important Assembly luminaries. They sit through the entire running with silence and dignity and come out in the lights of the theatre with praise and admiration. For once they admit the politician has not been shown in bad light. Over a light dinner during the interval he turned to me and said -

‘The main and most important assets for an actor are his face and his voice. They are the elements that attract an audience to a performer. But you have done away with both aspects in this film and still succeeding in making yourself attractive to an audience. That is remarkable !’

I look if I can hide under the table ! Its a job by itself, taking compliments !

As I drive back we duck below a spanning sign on a bridge crossing that thanks us for visiting ‘Clean and Green Gandhinagar’. I couldn’t have agreed more !!!

So … its back to Mumbai in the morning and back to promoting ‘Rann’, the film, and preparing for a short presentation for the promotion of Teen Patti for the Screen Awards on the 9th. But before that are the Apsara Awards, where there is decoration for an achievement in a lifetime.

Achievements !! They should be the result of exceptional work and I do hope that one could do that in the time that remains with me. We struggle yet for it.

Shahrukh responded back last evening over my message to him on MNIK and was overjoyed by my observation. Said he was going to store it and show it to Gauri and his children with pride. He remembered that I had once assessed his performances and we talked a great deal over it some years ago. I felt he was very good in ‘Swades’ and ‘KANK’. Swades was the naturalness of his demeanor. He was far removed from habit and trademark. He was the ordinary civilian. It is most difficult to be ordinary in front of the camera. In ‘3idiots’, the scene for which I sent Sharman greetings was the one where he is being interviewed for a job on a wheel chair. He was ordinary, relaxed and real. It was one of the most endearing moments in the film. For KANK and for Shahrukh my admiration in performance came from the very nature of his character. It is easy for an actor to portray that which is an acceptable norm. It is difficult for an actor, with accepted public norm to play a role that is scripted to be against given social morality. What Shahrukh was doing in the film was playing out the negatively designed character with a belief that he was not morally inclined to go against the social grain, but his compelling circumstances were pushing him against a wall. And every time he got pinned against it, he had the ability to not slide down it in submission, but to reposition the wall in front of him. The mental and physical juxta positioning took care of the rest. That was creditable !

Boman, dear soul, said he would keep my message in store for the grandchildren ! Cute ! And then invited me to his 25th wedding anniversary at the Parsi Agiari, the same spot where he had got married ! Cuter !!

Raju Hirani, valued my comments and said he would keep it along with my appreciation for the MunnaBhai series. He has been an avid follower of my films. One very late night message from him confirmed that. He had been watching an old film of mine, got emotional and just wanted to share that moment with me. I cannot remember which film it was that he was talking about, but I believe it may have been an old Hrishikesh Mukherjee wonder.

Heavens !! It is 4 : 07 AM !! See this is what the FmXt does to me - makes me forget time when in their company !!

Good night .. good morning … whatever ..

Just never ever forget my gratitude and love for you ..  this  for each one of you individually ..

Amitabh Bachchan

    Dear Amitabh,

    I’m a huge admirer of yours and a huge music fanatic. I am currently 19 years old and a huge fan of Hindi music. I have been waiting since I was 6 years old to hear the songs from Gayak (1996) that Big B cassetes had the rights to.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMaYpHrgZ9o a youtube petition

    Please Big B, it is my dream to hear these songs in full and I have been praying/hoping for over 13 years for these songs and with no such luck or info!

    Please Please listen to my plea and somehow get these songs to my heart just like your movies have filled a huge void in my life with gems like KKKG and Black. Itunes, youtube, online radio, tapes whichever format but please I can’t stand the wait. =[

    my email is ishqvishk@gmail.com

    Please don’t ignore this! =[=[

    Your one of the most powerful figures in bollywood, only you can make it happen . PLEASE please please pleasee

    PLEASE PLEASE 14 YEARS IS TOO MUCH =[

    I sent you your sketch. Did you receive that??

    The same you can see it here- http://atulssketchings.blogspot.com/2009/05/amitabh-bachchan-shahanshah.html

    please pass me the feedback.

    aapko dher sara pyaar :)

    Dear Amitji,

    Nearly Good night here in UK - snow, snow everywhere - UK has come to a standstill yet again!!!! This time it’s worse…nearly 12 inches of it!!!

  5. Mehveen Riaz says:

    Hi there,

    I was talking to some friends who saw Paa and they are convinced that you are going to sweep all the award ceremonies because of your amazing performance. Hope you win the awards you deserve!!

    I was also wondering if you had information on your movie Johnny Mastana. You’ve said in interviews that it is ready for release yet I have not heard or seen anything about its release date. It seems like an interesting story so I wanted to know if it is releasing anytime soon.

    And of course I want to share the group that I started called “HELP MEHVEEN MEET AMITABH”, which about 240 people have joined urging you to meet me!! I figured that I have loved you for 5 years out of my 20 years of existence and I need to take measures to meet you and I hope this will do the trick! I am going to post this group (hopefuly as it grows larger and larger) everyday on your blog until you somehow contact me, either via email, webcam, phone, so we can arrange to meet!

    So here is the link, I hope you’ll take 2 minutes out of your busy day to look at it!

    http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=174943739550&ref=ts

    I wholeheartedly wish with every fiber of my being that I could meet you. I keep watching interviews with you on bollywood hungama, cnn-ibn, etc. and I can barely stop myself from buying a ticket to Mumbai and camping outside of your house.

    I really want to know how you stand being so damn gorgeous. I mean do you know how gorgeous you are? I hope one day that I can see you in person because I know someone who saw you in real life and she said you look better in person and that just flabbergasts me. I mean if you are so gorgeous on screen, then people who see you in person are probably blinded by your gorgeousness! I was watching some of your performances and I literally was dumbfounded by your amazing gorgeousness!

    Ok well I hope you click on the link and make my dream come true!!

    Hope I get a response!

    Love you lots and lots and lots,
    Mehveen
    USA

    ps. I love you and like I said you are simply gorgeous!

  9. Vikas says:

    Good Morning Sir:
    I’m awaiting to see PAA with my 4.5 year old when it comes out on DVD. He refer’s to you as “Anitabh Bachchan” I watched parts of Mahaan with him (some scenes I couldn’t because of the content) the other day and it wa very much a Deja Vu moment for me after seeing the twinkle in his eye. He also enjoyed Aladin.

    and my Mom informed me the other day that I used to say the same when I was a kid. I grew up on the staple diet of your movies - Sholay, Don, Mahaan, Mr. Natwarlal, Yaraana, etc. and that “Kaali Ram Ka Phaat gaya dhol” and “Jahan yeh teri naazar” from Kaalia were my favorites.

    I can see even my grand-kids being your ardent fans as well :-). Hats off to you sir on pulling of such a busy schedule.
    -Vikas.

    dear amitji, in an industry filled with so much competition like bollywood, I love the fact that you are so friendly and respectful to everyone…..this is one of the many reasons why you are worshipped by so many people. My cousin and I bought this collection of amitabh movies and whenever we get time, we watch a movie……The collection starts with your first movie saath hindustani. The other day the movie Anand was on tv…..such a delight to watch the movie. I hope you get some rest sir. Just came back from gym and hurt my ankle a little so going to take some rest. lots of love and best wishes to you and rest of family. sincerely, dr sunir kumar from pittsburgh

    नमस्ते, प्रणाम,
    हरि ॐ तत सत,

    The UK is under a blanket of snow. Called the Winter Freeze and more is on it’s way. Thermals are out and so are the extra blankets and winter duvets. The travel chaos and mayhem for many people getting out and about, getting to work, the elderly and children going to school is dreaded however I love it. Being a child at heart as are many I’ve love watching it snow. It started snowing in the early hours of the morning. Jyoti and I almost perched on our window ledge trying to catch the flakes. It continued to snow into the night and as we awoke everything was covered in this soft white powdered blanket.

    Wonderful start to the day especially as it’s my birthday. Going through the many comments here I can’t stop smiling and being really happy not because it snowed on my birthday but of all the wonderful comments / messages left for me by so many in this family. I let our daughter, Dhiya cut the cake and blow out the candles. Such a joyous moment for a child just blowing out the SINGLE candle. She loves birthdays ..

    The e cards, the offer of prayers, the psychic premonitions ( JJ ) and wishes of long life are just what makes this family what it is, No.1. I can’t thank everyone here enough for their warm, kind and thoughtful messages to me. Very personal and have really ‘ touched ‘ my heart !!!!!!!

    Therefore with your approval, I wish to thank everyone here but to name a few and especially:

  29. DILJIT WADHAWAN says:

    Dearest Sir,

    For three idiots- the potrayal of each character is remarkable. be it Aamir, Sharman, Madhavan, Boman or even a without makeup Kareena. Very true sir, the scene where Sharman faces the interview board, is remarkable, it shows the plight of every student in us…3 Iditots has been seen multitude of times and every time there is something new to watch…exemplary movie as was PAA… do we have Raju Hirani and AB Sir doing a movie together, in future ?…
    Incidentally, Sir, it is nice that you keep the film fraternity together with constant motivation and good luck charm of yours…that is wonderful and working wonders….today we have less of confrontations and more of togtherness…thank you Sir.
    The difference between where you are and where the world is, is because of this…humbleness, down to earth approach, beautiful thoughts and above all love for all…

  31. D.B from USA says:

    Hello Amitabhji and Jayaji,
    We pray and hope Paa will be tax exempt in Gujarat.If CM(He calls common man) Mr Modi has said it will be done.

    Hope you enjoyed your stay in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. I am from Ahmedabad so I was very excited about your visit. I went through all the Gujarati newspapers and went through all your time table.In the newspaper was about a small girl who acted monkey dance and you responded. How cute of you to do that. The pictures on the airport are awesome. I believe the newspaper was Divya Bhaskar.

    Hope you enjoyed eating Dhokla and Patra.

    The best time to visit Ahmedabad is on 14 th January- Kite Flying Day. You will be amazed to see the colorful sky. I am sure Mr Modi must have invited you for the same.

    Once again pray that PAA will be tax exempt in Gujarat.

    Regards,
    D.B from USA

  36. Ritu Chanchlani says:

    What a nice post! It feels like I am sitting next to you and having a conversation with you and just listening to you with rapt attention. When celebrities like you endorse a state like Gujrat, it gets a stamp of approval and raises the value of that place. It shows how united we are as a country and there is no “your state or my state” and national integration is the only way for India to move forward. I also like the CM word coined ” common man”.
    I have admired the work of Rajkumar Hirani in his first 2 films of Munnabhai and did not know how he would overcome that expectation. But in 3 idiots he has more than lived up to peoples expectations of him and has outdone himself. Since he is an admirer of your work, why doesn’t he cast you in his next movie. I would like to see the two of you work together.

    Love you always

    Congratulations for tax exemption granted to ‘PAA’ in Gujrat. That was nice of Mr N Modi who may be India’s future PM as per one of FmXt’s comment on previous day.
    Let me read the rest of post in peace and go in my thought process but till than let me plan my week.

    Yep ! We have been succussfull so far in making you forget the time of day or night. We deserve a pat on our back, no doubt.

    Thanks Lord, I have got my week off ( generally get every month) tomorrow onwards. What that means is:

    - not getting up early in AM sacrificing my slender pillow,
    - no driving to work, so don’t care how much snow falls and how low the temps go
    - more time in kitchen with wife( perhaps in bed too….shhh)
    - will finish pending work to complete the brand new washroom in my basement
    - do the left over baseboards
    - fine tune my own web site
    - focus on promoting my side business
    - printing marketing material , flyers,
    - think about some promotional creative ideas and put them in place
    - and off course spending time reading more of FmXt’s comments
    - time to play WI with kids
    - Visiting few friends to enjoy wine and dine.

    Doesn’t it sound a lot to be completed in a week. Well ! when Amit ji can finish a whole lot of things in one single breathe than I can at least do above in one single week.

    Until next time , with best regards and love ….




  42. rochelle says:

    Thank you for connecting so late or early. It doesn’t surprise me anymore that you are up these late hours after a long day. If this is what makes you happy and satisfied, that is the most important thing.

    I don’t understand the whole tax exempt issue with regards to Hindi films but congratulations anyway.
    I did not know that about Gujarat. I wish I could see it someday.
    I’m glad for you that you got a positive reaction from all those luminaries and I agree with that compliment. I have noticed that you are embarrassed when taking them. But that modesty is one thing so charming about you.
    I’m not sure exactly what you meant about the KANK character and I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t think I’ve even seen Swades. It’s great that you made Sharukh so happy. Getting a compliment from you means so much to your fraternity. About playing negative characters, I always marvel at those actors who so convincingly portray Nazis in films. For you cannot get more evil than that I believe.
    You have already performed exceptional work in these 40 years but it’s great that there are always more challenges for you. Yet more awards are coming your way and yet another for lifetime achievement. Congratulations for the millionth time it seems.

    Good luck in the promotion of RANN and in the promotion for Teen Patti at the
    Screen Awards.

    And please try to get some sleep on your slender pillow.
    Love,
    Rochelle




  43. Veena says:

    Dear AB,

    I watched PAA and I think it touches sensitive subjects pretty delicately. I am happy it will be tax-free and get more viewers.

    I wish we were able to call our entire country “clean and green”. It’s a well known fact that some areas are more cared than others based on political weightage. Still, it’s great to hear so about Gandhinagar.

    It’s nice to know about the encouragement you received from CM along with the vibes of encouragement you continue to spread among your peers. It speaks volumes about your personality and the more you feel embarrased by the words of appreciation, it’s going to chase you everywhere. Better get use to it. There is much more ahead for you!

    Thanks again for a late night post and keeping in touch.

    love
    Veena

  45. Deepan says:

    Dear AB,

    It is great to read this post and the one thing that I like about it is that you have mentioned quite a few people in this post and there is not a single negative thing about any of them. Indeed, it makes such a big difference when reading. Very pleasant. Guess, this comes from a positive frame of mind and the way you look at things.

    Also great to hear about the appreciation received from Mr Modi.

    Look forward to more such optimistic posts.

    Regards,
    Deepan




  46. Krishna Ramdas -- USA says:

    Dear Amitji,

    Thanks for sharing your experiences in Gujarat at such a late hour. Its nice to read your views about CM Narendra Modi who is truly a revolutionary CM for the state. The compliment that you recd: “‘The main and most important assets for an actor are his face and his voice. They are the elements that attract an audience to a performer. But you have done away with both aspects in this film and still succeeding in making yourself attractive to an audience. That is remarkable !’” is indeed very apt and shared by millions of your fans and FmXt…PAA is simply amazing !! salutations to YOU, our hero, AURO !

    Good to read about your sms exchange with celebrities like Shah Rukh, Raju, Boman…I am sure they all will treasure the compliments received from you !

    Thanks once again for writing to us despite being so late at night !!
    Have a great day ahead…

    With love,
    Krishna




  47. Veekay - Hong Kong says:

    Dear Amitji

    Thank you for your ever gracious manner in which you sign-off daily…today it was with even more warmth !

    But, it still does stop me from repeating- Early to rise and early to bed…….

    Dear Amitabhji,
    I think Gujrat is the only place where PAA movie has been exempted from tax.i am sure other states will follow soon.But Narender Modi has stolen a march.
    modi sahib –aap ka bahut bahut DHANYAVAAD AND ALL THE BEST GUJRAT STATE.
    promotions for RANN have commenced.ALL THE BEST AMITABHJI.
    ALL THE BEST FOR APSARA AND SCREEN AWARDS.
    It is gathered that shooting for Deepa mehtas forthcoming film MIDNIGHT CHILDREN written by SALMAN RASHIDI will start in september 2010.It means that this venture has already been accepted by you.is that true,sir.’ MIDNIGHT CHILDREN ” IS THE WIDELY READ BOOK ALL AROUND WORLD.
    WE CAN EXPECT WONDERS FROM DEEPA MEHTA AND YOU.

    जरा बाजू का ‘पोल’ रिजल्ट भी देखिये, 70% से ज्यादा डीलेट किये हुए सीन्स को रखने को कह रहें है …टैक्स-फ्री वर्जन में इसको शामिल करके रिलीज़ करने का सुझाव देता हूँ…

    after a long break I write again….I miss everyone and you too…my love always.

    also, very nice to note that people in office and high positions just live like us normal folk…i mean, honestly at the end of the day we are all human and it is those that understand this deeply i feel can live life in a generally peaceful state.

    with love




  54. Shubhra Sen (Toronto) says:

    Dear Amitabhji;
    Great writing once again from you and full of genuineness and warmth.I am very inquistive to know something that how did you do the the nasal voice in the movie (refer PAA).Did you dub it?Did you have any difficulty doing it.I would like to hear from you…It’s not a easy task for sure.I loved the movie so much and would be in my library in years to come.
    Many thanks and God bless you.
    Regards
    Shubhra

  56. Jasmine of London says:

    It is indeed Good Morning for you. Thank you for writing so very late, although I am sorry you chose to, please look after yourself Mr Bachchan.

    I noticed this screening was reported to be quite ‘the event’ for today, you must be exhausted and its sensible to stay the night in before heading home.

    What an apt quote from the Chief Minister, perfectly encapsulating the exact magic ingredient that made your performance in Paa so super special! Many of us tried to express the same sentiments in other ways, but nobody has been as accurate. The wonder of your character was that you were stripped of the familiar ’Big B brand’, relying purely your acting prowess, your charisma and aura to shine through and give life and longevity to Auro‘s character. I always knew your face, voice and physical characteristics alone were not your fortune… you’re more than a pretty face to me!!

    Your persistent reticence in receiving compliments is so cute in itself - I can just imagine you head bowed, smiling softly and probably cringing inside! One would think you may be accustomed to it after the sheer excess of lifetime achievement awards and others garnered in your career and yes you have MANY more to gain yet!
    Emotion does sap the lifeblood from you and leave you zombie like and going through the motions of the day. Goodness knows why we have them, but they need to be addressed on occasion and pragmatism or sense of duty at times come secondary. I do hope you were not weighed down by your sense of gratitude too deeply.

    I was only waiting up to wish you a goodnight, we are under a blanket of snow once again and travel conditions are trecherous, I am leaving extra early tomorrow. I will return to the post then. Have a lovely, blissful long rest before travelling and promoting. Incidentally, Jackie Shroff was on the BBC AN Radio this evening talking about Teen Patti amongst other films for 2010 and he sold it very well. There was also an unofficial competition for the best moustache and designer goatee in Bollywood and I smsed your name in… this is what happens when you post late Mr Bachchan… boredom ensues!! Anyway, Jackie Shroff won the title but you came a close second; so that’s one less award to contend with!

    Goodnight and thank you for your company at whatever hour.

    My love for you individually too and more,

    Jasmine

  60. Jasmine Jaywant says:

    Good morning, Amitji. Actually, I hope it is the afternoon when you read it, or forenoon anyway, because that would hopefully mean that you got a few hours of sleep. Don’t you feel drained or droopy the next day when you function on such little sleep? We ordinary mortals do. And after al lthe admonshing, all the pleas and appeals to not stay up, we get blamed for you staying up so late!!! :) That is too cute. Itna pyar bhi na keejiye hamen.

    Thank you for taking us through your day yet again. It makes for a fascinating read, the little vignettes that you describe so clearly. Gives us a peek into the life of Amitabh Bachchan, the person. I liked your analysis of Shahrukh’s roles in KANK and Swades, and Sherman’s in 3 Idiots. So you saw the movie. I’m sure you liked it, since you’ve sent congratulatory mails to the artists. Boman Irani is a really great actor. I loved his slouch and the lisp that he donned for his character. He portrayed the multi-hued, shaded character of the crusty principal really well. I don’t think anyone else could have done justice to that role. He is in a class by himself.

    I’m not suprised everyone is going to show off your messages and save them for posterity.

    I hope you have a wonderful day. My love and regards,

    Jasmine

    Glad to hear about the acceptance of Gujarat..it truly is wonderful, I remember going to Gandhinagar for a wedding in 2002, it was so clean..

    Im so glad that everyone is appreciating your text and responding so positively, Raju Hirani makes movies from the heart, his munnabhai series are still amongst my favourite, would love to see you work with him:) Screen Awards and wishing PAA wins for Best Actor and Director..I think this Jodi is awesome..I think you and Balki definately compliment each other, I wonder if you guys could go on to be the next MKD-AB combo of the future..

    Wishing you all the best, I had sent you a message via email a few days back, hope you had received it. as I havent received a response..

  71. Manisha D. says:

    It’s nice to know that at least one politician thinks of himself as a “CM”, who respects no only his superiors, but his inferiors, too.It’s also nice to know that at least one state is making a real effort to keep our Mother Earth healthy. Every little thing counts. Big things count even more! I never knew there was such a thing as white soil. I’m glad you liked/love 3 Idiots. After my third viewing of it, I can safely say that it is one of my FAVORITE movie of all times. Countless heartwarming and truthringing (?) scenes. Now you really should get to bed now. NOW.

  76. Ben Sura says:

    Dear Mr B

    I agree with the sentiments of the Mr Modi. One does tend to forget after a while that one is watching a certain actor called Amitabh Bachchan. Tremedous performance…definitely desrves a standing ovation and numerous awards.

    However, I have been somewhat dismayed by the NRI response to the film. It has not done as well as I expected. Perhaps the film is far too mature for the audiences here and those in India have evolved to a certain extent, yet the NRI is still stuck in the 60s. Just an observation.

    Anyway take care.

    Yours
    Ben

    Amithji Hamare dost Parnam.

    Gosh please do take care, of your health again n again we remind you, and do get some adequate rest, you are forever on the go, and hardly stop to rest, forget the holiday period, but during your working days, please try and space out projects and ventures, do you really need to cram in so much every day??

    So glad you are enjoying the hospitality of Mr Modi, who seems to come across as a very humble and considerate human being.. Nice to know his appreciation of PAA also. And a leader with a difference, now that is challenging.. What a fascinating compliment, no wonder you were ataken back.. Good on you, and of course he is so right, as we and millions of others would agree..

    Hey thanks for the insight of the treasures hidden in Gujarat.. maybe one day if written I’d love to explore them… very educational..

    Have now seen the trailors of Rann, boy it looks like a seroius and political movie, full of hidden suspense, so can’t wait until its out, but will have to be at home unfortunately for me still.. Good luck and all the very best with it…

    My fingers, legs the lot all crossed for you during these awards season, and hey another Life time achievement.. Go for it and God willing this year many more to shine on your mantle peice in Janak….GOOD LUCK AS ALWAYS MY BEST WISHES ARE WITH ALL…

    Yes we all were wondering and awaiting for tonights post, as was delayed than the usual timings.. but here at last…no wonder it’s 4am with you..lol… GET SOME SLEEP… SLUMBER DOWN NOW..

    The UK has been a mammoth blanket of snow… conditions of 20 inches of snow.. schools closed, offices closed early, business opening late, shutting early.. as I sat for hours looking out of the window, I watch with amazement of the children having snow fights, the cars all drowned in a heap of cold white fleece, the almost slipping of peolple, the elaborate snowmen created by excited children whose only visual glow and heat portrayed led by the schools being shut down due to health n safety. Airports closed, flights canxed, tubes, and rail slowed and delayed for hours, and along side hundreds of roads up to 20 hours of delays, people in stuck traffic due to severe bad conditions, with no provisions with them, but the sound of radio and music…. Heavens above…

    We wait for such scenic scenes and yet when it arrives all hell breaks lose.. Can this be climate changes, Global warming… Or an early indiction of 2012… Heavens knows how we will cope then???

    Oh my dearest Amithji how can we ever ever forget your love and gratitude for us, and tonight you actually addressed it to each one of us.. Hey now that’s mega special.. our gratitude twice over back to you my dear..

    Now please take it a bit more slower tomorrow or else another dose of drained exhausted energy.. 4am most certainy does not get off to a good start???..

    My lov as always

    Dear Mr. Bachchan

    Thank you….Thank you….Thank you. If we make you forget the time, your blog makes us oblivious to the world. My husband always complains that when I am reading your blog I am lost to the world. He makes sure that my lap top is closed before he says something as he now knows it is not being registered. Happy that even politicians were moved by PAA, my feelings towards politicians is the same as yours towards journalists. Now that you explain about Shahrukh Khan’s performance, I have to go back and see Swadesh and KANK. I feel that he cannot modulate his voice well, all the dialogues come out the same and the same with his portrayal of emotions, he has limited access to his emotions….lol. Just my worthless two cents again. I hope you wake up refreshed and ready to face your ‘favorite’ media…

  81. Tilak Rishi says:

    Dear Amitji,

    Heartiest congratulations on the well deserved exemption from Entertainment Tax for Paa in Gujarat state. I hope the other states follow suite as the film deserves this exemption throughout the country for its sincere, solemn and social message.

    With best wishes

    Tilak Rishi (USA)




  82. Valorie Adams, forever your poet says:

    Dearest Mr. Bachchan, Sir…

    Sincere congratulations for PAA being given tax exept status by Mr. Narendra Modi, Chief Minister of the State of Gujarat!
    A very wise man, indeed! Wonderful news, Sir, simply wonderful!

    If ‘taking compliments is a job in itself’…well, then… you’re just gonna need to clear your appointment book…because you’re gonna to be way too busy during the upcoming ‘AWARD’ season to do anything else except take compliments!

    If ‘Achievements are the result of exceptional work’…please know that you needn’t ’struggle with’ or worry about that, Sir…Anyone who has seen your work in ‘Abhimaan’…’Deewaar’…or ‘Last Lear’ will stand and testify to your body of exceptional work! I most certainly will add ‘PAA’ to this list of my personal favorites, once I have had the pleasure of seeing it…(won’t be much longer now…and I can hardly WAIT!)

    God bless you for your humble praise of those who think of themselves as your ‘box office competition’…they are so very sadly mistaken in that thought…for not one of them is worthy to shine your shoes…and yet…you compliment them and treat them as equals. This is but one example of your
    greatness…as a professional AND as a Gentleman.

    Right now, here in Florida, USA, it is 5:52 - PM…and so I will accept your ‘Good night’ to me…and as it is right now
    5:25 - AM - in Mumbai, I will tell you ‘GOOD MORNING, SIR!’

    In closing, I promise you…I will never, ever forget that on January 6th, 2010, you said you love me…me…you said you love me…individually…there is no way on Earth I shall ever forget that…not ever…thank you for saying that.
    I love you, too. I love the Actor, the Humanitarian, the Philanthropist…the Son, the Husband, the Father, the Grandfather and the Human Being…so…don’t you forget that.




  83. Aniseh, Toronto says:

    Hello Amitabh!

    Even after all the adulation that you have had to live with every moment, star of all stars soaring across the sky,it is all the more gratifying to become aware of your innate humility! The CM of Gujarat was totally right about your role in Paa. I have a couple of friends who were hesitant to see Paa simply because they were not going to be seeing “you” - anyway, they did see it and came away ecstatic, after seeing “you”!! Whichever direction an actor’s role may take him in a film, at the end of a movie, I think the audience wants to somehow see the innate spirit of the actor in that role or character. That’s what comes from seeing a film like Paa, which has no visual of a tall, lanky and handsome with the perfect voice Amitabh Bachchan from the beginning to the end - but one can see how perfectly you have carried the role through by portraying a character that was so different and a difficult one to play, but yet throughout the film it was impossible to miss your spirit/vibe/specialness.. : - )

    Incidentally, I liked Shahrukh in Swades as well! He had come out in a couple of other movies at the time but I really liked this one. An actor can stereotype himself and that’s when you can hear the audience mumbling “same expressions, no different from one film to another..” etc. I may think that about Shahrukh sometimes but I still do enjoy his films. The other two of his that I enjoyed were Veer Zaara and recently Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Again, I could hear the rumblings and the mumblings on the latter film, but I totally liked his enactment of the two characters and the romance in his character, which he very effectively portrayed in the movie - he does have great screen presence.

    All the other actors look up to you with respect and your feedback and views are important to them. You very much deserve that respect and have definitely earned their respect and admiration which is the result of the exceptional work that you have achieved over the years in your profession.

    You know you have made your name and your mark in the history of films! Still, it’s encouraging to know that you’re still striving to do exceptional work. There are many amongst us who can can learn from that persistence! We are satisfied so easily with ourselves and the complacency is pretty darned killing!

    Goodnight Amitabh, and see you tomorrow!

    http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Is-3-Idiots-the-new-Sholay/articleshow/5414683.cms

    Just thought of shring the above article with FmXt. I was wondering if it is fair to compare the box office collections of films in diffrent era. The value of a rupee in the 70s and the first decade of the 21st century can’t be compared. A lot of things have changed today, like the spending power of the people in general and the availabiliyt of theaters in the vicinity. I have heard of stories where people from the remote parts of India travelled for days to watch ‘Sholay’. However I can most certainly say that there are a very places in India where there is no place to screen a film.

    Considering the above I’m not sure if it is apt to compare things in different timeframes. just like we can’t compare a Gavaskar with a Tendulkar. Both are greats in their own right.

    The appreciation and adulation for Paa is very justified. All of your fans and admirers are also enjoying the success of PAA.

    Dear Mr Bachchan,

    Ohhh 4:00am already..now thats real love for us. Now we should feel gratitude for your committments. Thanks for updating about Gujurat, I was not aware of the heritages. India is really a wonderland, feels like more you know ..more you don’t know. Its like a book with unending chapters with each paragraph has its own charecter and beauty.
    Actually coming to KANK, I revisting a few days again after going over an interview. A foriegn Indy jurno , mentioned that his favorite is KANK and watching it second time I felt the brilliance of some of all the star cast in the movie. I agree that Sharukh performed very well and so as all of you.
    More later.
    love

    Dear Mr Bachchan,

    I feel duty-bound to log in and let you know of my disappointment in your association with a man like Narendra Modi. I am very sure you are not unaware of the sort of activities and practices he and his government encouraged, aided and abetted during those horrific days in 2002. Investigations and Commissions numerous have in no uncertain way implicated the man, and you, with your stature and popularity among the public legitimize his existence and his nefarious activity. I hope you will reconsider your decisions with regard to this matter.

    Thank you,

    Madhura




  104. Rasha Zayed says:

    My dearest and adorable Mr. Bachchan,‎

    It is always great to read about the remarkable effect PAA has on whoever watches it, ‎and to read of all the overwhelming responses and compliments you receive…you have ‎indeed enchanted the audience with your brilliant depiction of AURO and you deserve all ‎the praise and compliments that come your way… enjoy the state of ecstasy and elation it ‎delivers to you, and many congratulations on the awesome response you continue to get ‎about the movie, and on the tax exemption it was granted by Mr. Narendra.‎

    It was interesting to read about him and about the simple life he leads, and I wish one day ‎I would be able to visit Gujarat where lots of touristic and historic sites lie. I would very ‎much love to visit a ‘Clean and Green” place….‎

    I have never actually watched Swades, but reading earlier about your admiration to it ‎prompted me to get the movie and iam yet to watch it…‎
    And I loved the way you described Shah Rukh Khan’s dilemma in KANK… ‎
    Abiding and sticking to social laws grants the person acceptance within his society, and ‎breaking them arouses irritation and even rejection….and it is a really serious and tough ‎experiment when one finds himself in that situation where he has to defy and even break ‎these unwritten laws and norms of his society.‎
    It is an interesting movie which I and my younger sister managed to watch in the cinema ‎theatre in the Indian Cultural centre in Cairo…I wonder if they might show PAA..‎
    Maybe I will have to ask them to do that…but I think they too might wait for its DVD ‎version to be available…still have to check with them.‎

    Dear Amitji

    Welcome to Gujarat…!!! so how do you find ??? cool….. its nice to know that you like all the heritage of gujarat. and people of gujarat… do visit again..

    best wishes for your new movie

    Kind Regards
    Tejas




  107. Rajesh (Bucks, UK) says:

    Thank you for this very interesting post.
    I have not seen it for myself but people who visit Gujarat always make a comment of how it has improved and moved ahead under the leadership of CM Narendra Modi. This can only be a good thing. Interesting point on Gujarat having the most number of heritage sites.
    I agree with your acknowledgement and appreciation of those roles by SRK in Swadesh and KANK. I have not yet seen 3 IDIOTS so can not comment but your endorsement of the film and the interview scene with Sharman makes it compelling viewing at the earliest possible opportunity.
    Have been snowed in today and it does not look much better for tomorrow.
    Good Luck with the promo activities.

    आदरणीय अमितजी,

    आपने अपनी एक फिल्म में ‘डायलोग’ गलत और उल्टा बोला है…क्या आपने ‘नोटिस’ किया है…क्या जयाजी या अभिषेक या और किसीने नोटिस किया है…

    मैं अपने साथी ‘ब्लोगर्स’ से भी पूछ रहा हूँ आप सब अमितजी के बहुत बड़े फेन है, क्या किसीने कभी नोटिस किया…फिल्म 1980 के दशक की है….यह हिंट दे रहा हूँ….

    शेष जवाब अगले अंक में….

  112. Shankar - Abu Dhabi says:

    Dear Amitji

    PAA deserves TAX FREE status and CM of Gujarat is right too in his observations. I am glad to note that his entire cabinet with some of the dignitaries too saw the film.

    Its also nice to know the compliments showered by him on you but again this is not new , this is indeed a fact.

    Irrespective of the Character and position in the film industry, your messages mean a lot to them, who will not keep ur messages safe!!….

    i am keeping all your replies to me safely and same must be the case of others…

    Luv and Regards

  114. Shubha says:

    Hello Amitji,

    Thanks for appraising us on the lifestyle of Shri Narendra Modi. People like us who live outside Gujarat have only heard about his simple ways of living. His remark on what was so commendable about your performance in Paa is so true. Your offer to help in raising the level of awreness about his state and promoting tourism is such a nice gesture- and particularly worth appreciating coz don’t we all know how tightly you are pressed for time!!

    3idiots was a very entertaining film…I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. The wait for Rann and Teen Patti has already begun. Meanwhile we continue to watch the re runs of some your old films on TV.

    Take care. Regards and good wishes.

    Shubha

  116. Yahya Khan says:

    Dear Amit Sir,

    I am sorry that I am commenting in your blog for the “first time” despite the fact that you are my biggest idol and that I am your ardent fan. My childhood and teenage years were overwhelmed by your movies’ characters, dialogues and songs. Your movies’ songs on AIR (all india radio) would wake me up every morning during those days.

    BUT, everything suddenly changed today morning when I went to “Gujarat Samachar Online” (I stay in Kuala Lumpur and read gujarat samachar everyday online). However I was gald to see your photo in “gujarat samachar” today, but was literally shocked that it was with Narendra Modi - a person who was at the helm during 2002 gujarat massacre - where hundreds of innocent people were butchered and/or burnt alive, women were raped and all sort of crimes against humanity were committed. And yet, my idol (amit sir) is standing beside that person…….oh my god……i am shocked………it’s shameful.

  121. Nimmi Harisinghani says:

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,
    Can’t say that I understand CM Modi but his name always conjures up negative imagery in my mind dating back to an interview of his I saw on BBC following the Godhra riots.He came across as arrogant ,combative,condescending and dismissive of anyone who dared challenge him.Your showering of gratitude toward him just did not sit well with me. The US Govt. continues to deny him a visa and ,perhaps unreasonably , I find that very satisfying.
    But on to more pleasnt topics . I agree , Swades was SRK’s finest moment.
    I used to think him a ham in his earlier work. Then he graduated to sweet ham after DTPH , Pardes. Started taking him seriously only after Swades. Now , I find him interestingly watchable .He excels in the very same self-parody made oh ! so endearing by a certain Mr. B a few decades ago.In a recent film even his six-pacs seem to be laughing at themselves or perhaps poking fun at some others.
    Best wishes.

    Dear Amitji,
    Congratulations for Life time achievement award. Second, glad that Paa will be tax free in Gujarat- my state. Also glad to know, so many nice places in Gujarat = I did go to Somnathji once- beautiful. Happy to see that all your Fraternity people responded to you and appreciated your comments to the point to keep it for their “grand children!!”
    What made my day was - last line of the blog- your love and gratitude to each of us individually- amazing- energetic line/ sentence- I lived for this.
    Have not seen 3 idiots yet. will see.
    love and more…
    Please do get some sleep.

    I am glad that you had got so much appreciation from the minister of the state.. why does taking compliment make you want to hide under the table…? hope you realize how great you are.. how loved, admired and adored you are.. not only for you incredible talent and your brilliant performance.. or for being the best actor on planet.. but also for being the best human being i am blessed to know.. god bless you my dearest one.

    So you drove back to Mumbai.. then you once again to Ahmedabad..? or had i missed some parts..?
    I just hope that in the middle of hectic schedules.. you keep healthy.. and safe..

    * ” I do not want to die… until I have faithfully made the most of my talent and cultivated the seed that was placed in me until the last small twig has grown”

    Oprah Winfrey

    * ” Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.
    William James (1842 - 1910)

    Francis J. Braceland, O Magazine, April 2003

    Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

    * ” You’re supposed to trust friends. You have no reason to be his friend? That is part of the pleasure of friendship: trusting without absolute evidence and then being rewarded for that trust.

  124. Sharmila says:

    Dear Lion King,

    A very good morning to you from Bengaluru. Sorry to hear about the resignation of Mr Amar Singh, I am sure he will be back in action when he gets a bit better.

    Mr Modi is a model CM. He should run coaching classes for some useless CMs that we have in this country. Gujrat has no doubt benefited exceptionally under his leadership. Mr Chandrababu Naidu too was a good CM who transformed Hyderabad into a silicon city. Gujrat remains a model state of this country.

    Boman is an exceptional actor. He again is somebody who has not depended on his looks to bring out the best. He acts because he is an actor devoid of the superficiality that is attached to acting off late.

    I hope for the sake of Star Fox productions that MNIK is a hit. Period.

    Agree fully on your view with Sharman’s performance. I had commented on that exact scene when I wrote my take on three idiots. Here is the link -

    Respected Amitji,

    You are always awake and busy even in the brahma murhurta… There are some people who get busy in waking up at this hour and u are not even seeming busy to sleep.

    ‘Paa’ deserves every bit of tax exemption .. i hope it does in the whole country. Oh how i wish it would be ‘Clean and Green India’!!!! It is going to be!!! Very soon.. na sirji??? Thanks for sharing ur golden moments with NM ji.

    You want to hide under the table when u receive appreciation.. But you dont spare anyone in your appreciation!!! SRK, Boman,Sharman, Raju.. all come in as most talented lot of the film industry … deserve every bit of accolades. Liked SRK very much in ‘Swades’ and ‘Don’ too.. He was very natural.

    Some of my friends have listed out the nominations for ‘Paa’ at Screen Awards. May it win in all categories and many many more.

    lots of love and pranaams

    Kem Cho sir - majja maa nee !!!

    I am Gujrati by birth - but born and brought up entirely in Aamchi Mumbai.
    It was after may be 20 years I visited Ahmedadabad and Gandhinagar last year - early in the morning we were greeted by a bunch of cleaners cleaning and scrubing the Abad railway stn - what a site - impressed.

    The same site while we took the cab to the hotel - municipality people cleaning roads -

    The Ring road - wah kya kehna - Airport - I couldn’t believe that I was in India -
    Also heard a lot of stories of the white sand festival in kutch that Mr Modi was promoting - we need more such people GOD !!!

    Thank You very much for sharing today’s post - I hope you enjoyed the gujrati meal - which I surely miss here in Jacksonville,Fl

    thank you for today’s post.




  134. Abhaya says:

    The most Respected and Reverred Brother of Humanity
    My deepest and warmest wishes to you of the early morning!

    I should admit here that what you have said of the meetings with Narendra Modi.. of what you referred of SRK.. of what you mentioned of other luminaries in the profession.. of all that you express here day in and day out.. aap kisi aur hi mitti ke bane ho bhaai.. aap ka koi jawaab nahi..

    India in general.. Gujarat in particular.. and Indian actors to be specific have great talents.. I must freely admit here that for some personal reasons I had been having a stored hatred for the state of Gandhiji.. not so much for him.. not so much for Modi.. Not so much for any other conceivable reason that could fill the mind easily but for the fact that I lost my immediate elder brother late Alok Sharma under bizarre circumstances of his love mariage going eerie.. sometimes mind gets overwhelmed by personal losses and gets influenced to think away from the normal behaviour.. I today admit to my Gujarat friends that I am at wrong to label the state the way I had been doing it over last 15 years since my own personal grievances with it.. it is nt correct to believe or think that a state becomes bad by our singel experience with it.. may I whole heartedly be apologetic to Gujarat and rediscover my ways to change the way I feel about it.. I shall try and abstain mixing personal reactions away from the beneral associations..

    I would rather not speak of Narendra Modi so much.. politics not on my agenda.. yet the man who could be labelling himself as common man and CM.. I do not shy away to say that he has indeed made a very true observation about PAA and your enacting the role of Auro devoid of face and voice.. indeed I agree fully well with him on that matter..

    Bhaai.. I have been having this thought of writing the last parts of Bachcan Sandhya.. the Pushpa bharti episode.. if I have not been able to type it down and upload here or at one of my own blogs.. there is absolutely no question f unwillingness.. there could not be.. this last part actually comes with some great revelations about her and the most of it concerns like some ways I hold her so close to my heart.. you may or may not remember how in one very old post I had thought or believed that she was our Pushpa Mausi.. she is not.. she is more than a Pushpa mausi.. she had some attributes very close to my mother.. so she is more like maa si than Mausi.. that Pushpa Mausi was another character who was a sanskrit student of my nanaji.. I was told that she had some sort of royal background.. more of it in the Hindi version as and when I conclude the Bachchan Sandhya..

    May I take some of your time and persuade you to visit my newly acquired ( 15th December 2009) website at http://www.abhayasharma.net and enoy the way I feel about you.. I do have a plan to accomodate more of Dr. Bachchan and I must not hesitate to say here that if and whenever you do undertake any project like Buddham Sharanam Gachchhami or on the life of Buddha.. please do call me to be a part of the extras.. I would simply love to be a part of anything that has Buddha as its central character.. Instead of seeking payment I may pay you for enabling me of such trifle request.. of course only what is within my capacity.. you should not ask huge amounts.. No, no, I am not saying that you would want to do it that way.. I just wanted to express my desire to be part of any such venture..

    I abruptly come to an end of this post.. yet must state here that yesterday when bidding farewell to a senior colleague I did manage the show well and earned compliments from Chief executive himself about ny growing compering abilities.. this was only the second time around.. no more of boasting.. it was spontaneity that would have appealed to most of the people.. I prefer to appear unprepared.. like all my posts here…

    Love respect and regards to you and the entire FmXt
    Abhaya Sharma

    PS Before I submit the contents a Kabir Doha for all..

    माया मरी न मन मरा, मर-मर गए शरीर ।
    आशा तृष्णा न मरी, कह गए दास कबीर ॥

    Kabir says that lure and expectations don’t die easily even if the physical body does.. The hope and thirst for more does not quench, so once said saint Kabir.

    I tried hard to resist, but could not.Surprsied by your words of wisdom for the Guj CM , considring what has happened in the recent past there with Godhra Riots and related well documented history, dont you think it is wrong for you to get involved with him in any manner what so ever ? Even Aamir Khan is not spared by him and his movies were not allowed to be released just because he supported the cause of Narmada Dam issue ?

    Even your brother / friend / guide is clear in his thoughts about this Comman Man CM , so is their no clash of intrest here ?

    I am surprised by your move

    On one hand you refused to go to Australlia to take a Honour due to racisit attack there and here you are possibly ready to help the Comman Man for Guj Brand Promotion

    Hate to criticize you or your move, but felt what had to be said,said,sorry and no offence

    Dear Mr. B,

    I can understand what Mr. Hirani must feel after watching ur films…. I too, have a similar feeling…. I get all emotional…esp watching Chupke Chupke, Laawaris, Kaalia…. Abhimaan…. At that moment I feel like telling u exactly what am feeling …. but unfortunately, unable to do so…. There are so many thoughts going through my mind…thinking I will say this…that, etc… But…. :(

    Sharman Joshi’s performance was superb in 3Idiots….u’re absolutely right… that interview scene was awesome…..simple and so from the heart….




  140. Sumit Haldar (NYC) says:

    Dear Amitji,

    Good Morning. I am delighted to say that your appreciation about SRK’s work on Swadesh and KANK matched to my liking. I think he did a stupendous job in Swadesh portraying the ordinary man. On that note, I remember one of your early movies Saudagar where you had a similar natural common man portrayal against the acceptable public norms. Probably this movie was way before we got used to see you in the angry man image. Another role of yours is very dear to my heart, role of the father/husband in Do Anjane. Would you like to share some moments from these classics when you have a moment.
    Best wishes and love
    Sumit

    पा फिल्म मुझे अच्छी लगी। औऱ बेहतर हो सकती थी। फिल्म में मिडीया की बुराई दिखाने के लिए जितना समय बर्बाद किया हैं उससे फिल्म का इम्पॅक्ट कम होत हैं. ग्राफ नीचे आता हैं। कहानी दो अलग अलग ट्रैक पर भटक रही हैं। अभिषेक का किरदार न जाने क्यू हैं..ऐसा लगता हैं..। जवानी की एक भूल दिखाने के लिए काफी समय बर्बाद किया हैं..उससे फिल्म के किरदार ऑरो से इमोशनली जुडने के मौके कम होते हैं..जब जब दर्शक ऑरो से या फिर उसके जीवन स जुडने लगते हैं तब तब अभिषेक के किरदार में राजनिती का पाठ देखने से या फिर उसके जीवन में मिडीया की वजह से आए दिक्कतों से लींक टूटती हैं।

    मिडीया पर आपकी भडास निकालने के लिए अलग फिल्म बनाते तो अच्छा था..।

    आपका अभिनय..मेकअप बढीया रहा..सारे लोगों की एक्टींग भी बढीया रही..अभिषेक की भी..लेकिन कहानी पर थोडा और काम करना चाहीए था..।

    Dear Amitabh Bachchan,

    I am a bit late to comment again .. In addition to the job, lots of little things like cooking & etc. occupy the time of a common woman : ) And at the same time fill up life with some purposeful and happy content … and … delay the anticipation of writing to you …

    *
    Your first paragraph about uninhibited emotion made me think of some poems by my favorite Walt Whitman. Like the line from him - “To find a new unthought of nonchalance with the best of Nature ! “. A delightful reading …

    I am happy for you for all the wonderful emotions you had toDay or rather yesterday now by your calender.
    And it was a delightful description of natural beauty and historical places of ‘clean and green’ Gujarat - “white soil, that glows like it was imbedded with millions of diamonds in the night”…

    *
    The remark by the Chief Minister of the state Mr Narendra Modi about your work in “Paa” was very gracious and apt..

    Congratulations on tax exemption for “Paa” and your award for an achievement in a lifetime by Apsara Awards and all the best with promotion of “Rann”.

    *
    I have to make a confession - I have not seen ‘KANK’, but I am going to undo this and order it from Amazon asap ..

    *
    It is a frosty evening here.. I have to run again and drive for grocery shopping…
    I enjoyed reading your uplifted entry a lot ! Thank you for being with your FmXt and sharing - day or night : )

    I shall never ever forget your gratitude and love ! …

    May God bless you and yours.

    My love and gratitude.

  144. RAVI P MALHOTRA says:

    Dear Amitji, Good Morning. Congratulations for the admiration you got for Paa from the Gujarat Government. Taxfree but a bit late never mind. When masses are going to view the film it means there is some message in it which is percolating down to the grassroots. The Common Man is face of India who stands against all adversities and survives with all his cultural moorings. A person man/woman who endures nature and its calamities. A man who lives on his own within his resources and confines of his home. However meagre his earnings may be but he values his cultural heritage and follows what has been followed religiously for centuries. His smile is always intact despite all shortcomings in his life.
    Paa the Politician played by Abhishek is a lesson for the new age politician. Truth must prevail and responsibility towards public at large in larger interest. Personal life triumph or tragedy whatever it may be owning self actions is ultimate in accountability. Once he knows Auro is his son he never disowned him. That is strength of character of Paa who never hesitated once in accepting reality.
    Compliments through sms are difficult to preserve for long. The mobile phones develope some or the snags in due course. May be they are meant to have a shelf life of few years. Its nice to know that within the fraternity you share emotions. That is in itself a great reward.
    Wish Boman a very happy anniversary and may his married life cross 100more years. Cute as ever Bavaji steals the show many a times. I must say there are very few people like him whose screen presence is larger than life.
    Have a wonderful day and enjoy the compliments you get for Auro. A character without face and voice robbed is difficult to imagine but there is the previous Aura of the Auro which remains on the head of Auro and that is Amitabh Bachchan packed as Auro. Hope there will be many more memorable characters played by you in future and somewhere you will find yourself lost amongst them.
    Regards to the Politician who thinks about a common man in common ways.
    Ravi P Malhotra




  145. Zulfi says:

    Mr. Bachchan

    I havent known a more politically correct man like you. I probably have more respect for you than any other film actor on this planet. Our family seems to have a very similar structure with my sister and I only slightly younger than Shweta and Abhishek. We both went to Jamnabai also.

    I am writing to you today because I am deeply offended by your endorsement of Narendra Modi (Yes , we give you that much respect that when you speak brightly of someone we consider it an endorsement). Bring muslims born and brought up in Vile Parle , we have not faced close to the discrimination and atrocity that some people in Gujurat have faced. We are educated though ,we read the papers and see the news. Narendra Modi is not secular , he hates Muslims. To be politically correct is one thing. To know the truth is another.

    Everyone know his intentions and his past actions. He has been denied a visa to come to the U.S and that is for a reason. How far would you go to earn some more money out of making your movie tax-free ? I think the statement from you regarding what a great man modi is has hurt a lot of common educated Indians , not Hindus or Muslims , just Indians who hate fanaticism from any religion.

    Yours truly
    Zulfi

    Dear Sir,

    i am great fan of your from my childhood and admire you closely , but recent development regarding Modi as raised doubts in mind , please for humanity , for people who died in Gujarat riots please do not take Modi into your foldings as Amer Khan has kept away from him , i know that your work was great in the movie PAA but you do not need man like Modi in your surrounding to prove that , we people of India defenetly take pleasure in watching you work in the different Gener and we know that your are the best.

    dear amitji,

    greetings, i wouldn’t agree less with u in believing that gujarat is indeed one of the best states in India both culturally as well as commercially, it is doing very well under the leadership of Narendra Modi, Sir, ur zeal towards ur work is inspirational and motivating for all of us in the EF, today it is an honour for those who r bestowing honour on u in the form of awards, u r above all this because u r a monarch who rules hearts, nevertheless PAA will sweep the awards at all the major award ceremonies inspite of good competition, amen!!!, RAAN, TEEN Patti, Johnny Mastana and many others to follow, it all seems very exciting for us the Ef, i pray for u and wish the best for ur wonderful family,

  155. Kathryn K says:

    Dear Amitabh,

    Seemed like you had a difficult time accepting the richly deserved compliment about your performance.

    Here’s what I was always told to do in such an akward moment:

    Sit or stand up straight. Do not shrink back and act timid. This makes you seem like you either don’t like them, or you aren’t confident, or you don’t believe them.

    Smile widely when taking a compliment. A compliment is intended to make you feel good. If you frown, look at the ground, or look away, the other person will be confused or uncomfortable. Smiling will make both of you feel good.

    Thank them. This is one of the best ways to reply in return to a compliment. Very simple, and very easy.

    Remember to accept the compliment without trying to take the subject off yourself or feeling like you have to pay them back. This will make you feel more confident and let you grow to like yourself better.

    Now accept this - you are greatly loved, admired and appreciated for not just your screen work which has been treasured, not only by your nation’s people, but world-wide for decades now. You richly deserve all the praises you are receiving.

    Nonetheless your intellect, sweet nature, kindness to others, the good example you set for your own personal family, and us here at your site, makes you more famous in my eyes than all the public ventures of your daily endeavors.

    Having the love and respect of your family had to be your best “award” in all of life.

    Know your public adores you, your family genuinely loves you and repects you and your country is proud to call you it’s own son.

    Jai Hind

    Much love to you dear man, Kathryn

    Dear Amitji ,

    I am feeling so ecstatic for Gujarat and India , coz

    two stalwarts of contemporary times have met .

    You both are larger then life , you inspire people and

    empower them by your work .

    You both are straight and result oriented . I had the good

    fortune of being with the CM and his team at the Chintan Shibir

    in Rann of Kutch . You have so precisely descibed the person and

    his functioning .

    Amitji , from the point of Nation Building you must join hands

    for the upliftment of our people in a coordinated manner.

    You have the gift and the position . Do give it a thought .

    always love for you

  173. Melwyn says:

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,

    Thank you so much for the love, but please leave the gratitude part to us.

    I may not be a great fan of Narendra Modi, but I do appreciate his pro-development agenda.

    Apart from the performances that you have mentioned, I liked SRK in ‘Kabhie Haan Kabhie Naa’, ‘Dil To Paagal Hain’ & ‘Chak De India’. He may not be the greatest actor around, but he surely is one great entertainer. He may seem arrogant at times, but his positive attitude and energy is something, not to say anything about his wicked sense of humor.

    What can one say about Boman Irani. He has come a long way from his ‘Uncle Chips’ days. He is one brilliant actor who has made a name for himself in such a short period of time.

    Love and regards,

    Melwyn




  174. SunnY 1 says:

    Hi Sir,

    The visit to the Chief Minister of Gujarat sounded to be a pleasant turn out. It is heartening to see such a vision of an individual that involves making the state a more progressing place. In PAA it is the personality, the character, that vibe from Auro that connects the audience to the performer. You are submerged into the inner feelings of the character instead of worrying about the face and voice. As nice as it is to hear about your messages being sent to various colleagues, it is even nicer to hear the kind responses of those that reply back. To be ordinary in front of the camera as you have mentioned probably would be difficult for the reason that once the camera rolls, the actor or actress is always trying to become someone else who exhibits some sort of unique characteristics. They become the character far from what may be experienced in everyday life. The ordinary allows for more connections to perhaps everyday experiences and as a result a more real performance. But not to say that other performances do not look real.

    Regards and Love,

    S

  177. Amar says:

    Dear Mr. Bachhan,

    I have always respected your ability to play roles that appealed to the masses, especially in the old days, with films like Coolie, and more importantly, Amar Akbar Anthony.

    Your father also stood for a much more progressive and enlightened way of life.

    So it surprised and disappointed me greatly to see you endorse and shake hands with Narendra Modi. Who as chief minister of Gujarat during the riots did absolutely nothing to stop the genocide of fellow Indians. Whatever the case may be in terms of his role in that horrible time, the there is any possibility of connection with him and the riots should be more than reason enough to have nothing to do with him.

    In genuine dissapointment.

    Om Sai Ram
    Hi Sweet Heart
    Very happy to know that Paa has been granted tax exemption. It really deserved it and you deserved the most. You have made the character of Auro worth remembering. You are a darling. I am eagerly waiting for rann and teen patti. I am sure it would be the biggest hits. Hey long back I had read somewhere that you will be doing Dogs whre in you would be playing a role of dog trainer who trains Rotweiellers. And Rishi kapoor would be playing negative character. I was waiting for that movie. But later got to know that it has been shelved. Please tell me why is it so. I wished to watch that movie so much.
    Also could you upload the Song Of Peace Video on the blog. I am sure all of the FmXt would love to watch it like me.
    Congratulations for yet another award, you are a gem and I am proud to be your fan and I love you from the core of my heart. Hoping to meet you soon.
    I am still at office, will be leaving at 12:30 pm. Luckily didn’t have a lot to do today so was able to post comment my love.
    Loads of love, hugs,kisses,cares and prayers as always.

    Respected Sir,
    I haven’t seen ‘Paa’ as i am not in India and DVD hasn’t been released so still waiting… I am also eagerly waiting for ‘Rann’ and ‘Teen Patti’. I hope they will be bigger success. How’s the cash meter of ‘Paa’? I hope you will make so profits and start a new project.

    Some Great people talk less, but always find the correct mixture of words to pass their message. Your performance in ‘PAA’ was aptly described by Gujarat CM Shri Narendra Modi.
    Sirji, whether I respond to your blog each day or not, my love, affection, admiration,respect, best wishes and much much more will always be there for you… Hope you had a nice sleep and had some time to rest… Keep Good Health…

  183. Kashmira Grewal says:

    My dearest Mr. Bachchan,

    A warm, happy and a very, very appreciative post from you this morning! You know, I have observed one thing about you over the decades, and more so in the past 1 yr and 8 months…..you are utterly soft hearted!! It has seeped into your performances too….the sincerity, the tendency to melt down at the slightest show of affection from another…..guileless and gullibilily are the two words that invariably pop up in my mind each time I reflect upon your personna!

    I am happy that Mr. Narendra Modi has appreciated and lauded your character and your performance in PAA! He is right…despite the absence of your signature baritone and your heart-stopping looks, and your awe-some six-feet- two frame, PAA is a path and record breaking movie!! Bless you Mr. Bachchan! I believe you have agreed to ’sell’ Gujarat now, as per the news on Times Now/HT last night….good for the Gujju Bhais and Bens I guess….(we have some really wonderful and close-to-our hearts Gujju friends!)

    And now, having left the best for the last…I come to it finally….your communication with Shahrukh….I was beaming and glowing reading what you have written about him…individually, you both are a photo finish where I am concerned, as an admirer, but when I see the two of you together…it is a spiritual experience almost…I fail to convey it in words….I wonder if there are any more people who share this feeling or am I just biased? Guess I will never know….but I am content to let things be the way are! I am content to be with you here, every morning, a ritual which has become a part and parcel of my day’s work! Perhaps, this is where you score over Shahrukh….the only time I ever visited his blog was during it’s initial days, and my comment number that day was 17(since I am frightfully forgetful, I have developed a habit of jotting things down in a diary)! I have never been inspired to go there since! But my admiration for him as a human being, as a householder and as an actor, has never diminished! Bless you always, and may you and your lovely family soar in 2010 as well!!

    With much love and my prayers for your wellness all ways,

    Dear AmitJi,

    It is disconcerting to read your comments praising Narendra Modi.

    There is nothing admirable about Mr. Modi. The Gujarat riots have taken care of his real place in History.

    आदरणीय श्री,

    सादर नमस्कार
    गत वर्ष २८.०२.०८ का आपका पत्र मिला था .
    मेरा सौभाग्य, पूज्य बाबूजी का अपार स्नेह और आशीर्वाद मुझे प्राप्त हुआ और बर्षो बाद आपके पत्र से भी उसी आत्मीयता की अनुभूति हुई . इस वर्ष उनकी १०१ वी जयंती के मौके पर उनके साथ जुडी हुई स्मृतियों को आपके साथ बांटते हुए मुझे बेहद ख़ुशी हो रही है .
    १९८२ में मेरे पहले कविता -संग्रह ( प्राणों के साज पर ) की भूमिका उन्होंने लिखी थी . उनके मार्ग दर्शन में गीत-गजलों की मेरी अन्य तीन पुस्तकें ( अंतर्बोध ), (श्रृंखला के खंड) एवं ( अनुभूति दंश ) प्रकाशित हुईं. १९८३ से ९० के बीच उनके साथ लगातार सम्पर्क बना रहा . इस दौरान उन्होंने जो ३८ पत्र मेरे पास लिखे आज देखता हूँ तो पत्रों का यह संग्रह एक किताब की तरह नजर आता है . मेरे जीवन की अमूल्य निधि होने के साथ-साथ इन पत्रों ने इस जीवन की दिशा तय करने में भी निर्णायक भूमिका निभाई . एक मौका था जब १८ फरवरी ०५ को उन पत्रों की कॉपी मैने आदरणीया जया जी को भेट की थी . वे चुनाव प्रचार के दौरान रक्सौल आई थीं .
    १९८५ में B.sc.(Hons) के बाद मैं फिल्मो के लिए लिखना चाहता था . फिल्म रायटर्स एशोसियेशन की सदस्यता मिली थी. बी आर चोपड़ा साहब का निमत्रण भी मेरे पास था . ये बातें मैंने बाबूजी को दिल्ली में बताई लेकिन उनकी स्पष्ट राय थी की लेखन को कैरियर न बनाकर मुझे आगे उच्च शिक्छा का लछ्य करना चाहिए . विज्ञान के छेत्र में सफलता प्राप्त करने के बाद साहित्य का प्रयोग फिल्मों के लिए उचित होगा. तब लेखक के रूप में पहचान भी ज्यादा प्रभावशाली होगी .
    उनके निर्देश को अपना संकल्प बनाकर मैंने M.Sc.[Physics] में विश्वविद्यालय में प्रथम स्थान प्राप्त किया. Ph.D. की. Universal Equation के रूप में मेरे रिसर्च को अंतरराष्ट्रीय मान्यता प्राप्त हुई. त्रिभुवन विश्वविद्यालय में फिजिक्स के प्राध्यापक के रूप में कार्यरत रहा.लेकिन इस पूरे सफ़र में अपने लेखन को समृद्ध करने की कोशिश में भी जुटा रहा. मैंने कहानियों पर काम किया, अलग-अलग सिचुएशन पर गीत-गजल लिखे. जिस भी एहसास ने दिल की गहराइयों को छुआ उसे कहानियों में, गीत-गजलों में ढालने की लगातार कोशिश करता रहा.
    पूज्य बाबूजी की वृहत साहित्य श्रृंखला में उनके इन ३८ पत्रों की कड़ियाँ भी जुड़ें, जनमानस इन अभिव्यक्तियों से भी परिचित हो, इस दृष्टि से इन पत्रों को पुस्तक रूप में प्रकाशित करना आवश्यक लगता है. साथ ही इन पत्रों की मेरे जीवन में भूमिका, हिंदी साहित्य में उनका महत्व, उनमे निहित नए रचनाकारों के लिए सन्देश तथा ऐसे सन्दर्भ भी इस पुस्तक में शामिल होंगे जो उनके व्यक्तित्व के अलग-अलग आयाम को रेखांकित करते हैं. चाहता हूँ इस संग्रह में आपके दो शब्द सम्मिलित हों और फिर इसका लोकार्पण आपके हाथों हो. क्या यह संभव है !
    आपके निर्देश के अनुसार इन पत्रों की कॉपी आपके पास भेजूंगा. आप देखेंगे, उन पत्रों में आपका जिक्र आता रहा है जो हमेशा से आपके साथ मेरा एक भावनात्मक सम्बन्ध जोड़ता है.
    आदरणीया जया जी को नमस्कार. अभिषेक एवं ऐश्वर्या को शुभकामनायें.
    पा की सफलता के लिए शुभकामनाओं के साथ.

    सादर आपका..

  188. Mario Andrew Rodrigues says:

    Dear Amitji,

    Frankly speaking I had different opinion on Mr.Narendra Modi till before reading this post. I do not have words to express your observations, principles, ways of life, love & peace within you, probably I too have similar nature within me, but mine would just be a fraction of your almost 100% percentage which wakes me up everyday to hear you, be near you, listen to you, inspired by you, reflect on what you do and say.

    I am so certain that it makes me believe that you too believe and follow these simple quotes:-

    A R Rahman - ‘In my life, I always had a choice between love and hate and I chose love.’

    Mahatma Gandhi - An eye for an eye will make the world blind

    Abraham Lincoln
    - Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them.
    - Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

    Pope John Paul II - War is a defeat for humanity.

    Taken from the Gospel of John - “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.”

    I am so fond of you and your ways. Keep on keeping on. Thanks for being with us to ensure we are and remain at peace and in Love.
    Love
    Mario




  189. Madhur says:

    Dear sir,

    Regarding Mr. Modis comments on face and voice, I recall your comments in an ealrier blogpost about how twenty eyars back, people broke chairs when they could not “find” your voice in Agneepath. And today, we do not have the face or the voice and the movie is embraced by all.

    This may be a reflection of the audience’s maturity. But it is also a reflection of how the relationship of the audience with an actor matures over time. If Auro had been made twenty years ealrier, would it not have faced the same backlash as Agneepath ?

    Madhur

    third try:

    Thank you for visiting my home state.
    I’m touched.
    Well, talking of heritage sites–Dholavira, which goes back to the
    Harappan-Mohenjodaro period is one place that one must visit. Then the
    grandeur of Amdavad itself, the Calico Museum giving an insight into
    textile wealth and why “Shahibaug” was called so.
    And then my own city, with its rambling University and many fine palaces..

    often I see the way trees and vegetation abounds in Maharashtra, the
    abundant rain–specially in the Konkan– even if we had half this
    water and soil quality!Other than South Gujarat, most of the land is
    hard and dry, and tough to till…yet the state GDP has been double
    digit for the last decade, barring one year.

    What is said of Mr Modi is that he makes the bureaucrats go out and
    WORK. And holds them accountable.
    And I’m not a supporter of the man but good solid work speaks for itself.




  191. Subramanian, Hyderabad says:

    Dear Amitji,

    Like all others, I am a fan of yours since my childhood. I still remember how my father used to bring tickets for your films for Saturday afternoon shows in late 70s and early 80s. It was always a proud moment to tell my friends at school to have seen your movie much before than them. As a kid, I used to ask my mother if ‘Amitabh’ would visit our house anytime and when he did, would he like the way we lived? Wouldn’t the house be too small for him? Would he share the simple meal we all eat at home? And she used to reply with a lot of affection that he wouldn’t mind and infact he would be happy to meet you in person. As I share my feelings with you here, I cannot explain the happiness I am going through. You somehow feel so close to me now and the conversation is like between 2 good friends. Your post yesterday felt so real, I almost felt you narrating the happenings of the day sitting besides me. Thank you for this blog. Keep writing. You are making someone feel very special. Luv-Subramanian (Rajan)




  192. ANJALI SITUT says:

    I waited for your thoughts of the day till 12.30 a.m.But oh my god Amitji!,when i saw the timing on the blog the next day,I was shocked ,and i was ashamed .may god bless you with this energy level forever!happy to read that there are still politicians like Mr Narendra Modi.the future of INDIA is not so dark then.there are some examples like simpl,hard working down to earth people for the next generation.Indeed,Auro has become our family member.My children speak ,behave and dance like Auro every day.Your caring, affection, and love for the colleagues has made us respect you even more than before.you greet gratitude and love for all of us individually ,made me imotional.Thanks for every thing ,Amitji!take care.Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuvvvvvvvvvvvv You.Anjali.

    Dear Amitji :

    Your todays post is apprecialble as allways, Meeting Narendra Modi ( a man of High Intellectual and Bold but in waste being vested in a wrong party which has no co-ordination) had he been in the ruling party, probably Gujrat would be a Jewel of India. Any way keeping away politics.
    Amitji - Hats Off to you, the best part in you is not ending a day with routines but ending a day Pleasing all, keeping in touch - appreciating all in timely need, accomodating many more along with your routines.
    Yesterday was watching “VIRUDH” (9th time) Scene at Garden making a Gajra for sumi (coincidentally-my wife is also sumi) “YOUR YELLING FOR LAUGHTER RAISING BOTH HANDS WITH TEARS) is a unbelievable scene - it touches the core of the heart of a common man & tears once again roll over - None on this universe can perform as acting unless experienced in life a mometum of serious despair - whatsoever - Godbless you and releive you for all your sorrows and pass it on to your fans like me and lead you to a happy long life with your family.

    Dear Amitji,

    Good to hear that you had a meeting with Gujarat Chief Minister Mr.Narendra Modi.
    This only proves that ‘ CINEMA IS A GREAT LEVELER ‘
    Cinema brings people from all walks of life together. And it also brings together people from the same fraternity.
    FANTASTIC News - PAA is exempted from E.Tax in GUJARAT.
    May all the states do the same thing .




  201. Bijay says:

    sir,

    i m a big fan of u.I had a dream when i was small to meet u in person but i think now its not possible as u r a Superstar and i m a comon man and .i will request you to please send me your personal mal id.if i could get a chance to talk or chat with u then that will be a great for me and will think yes,my dream comes true.




  202. Sari Zwi - Israel says:

    My dear Amitji,

    How wonderful is to read that there are politics such as Mr. Narendra Modi, in this new world of us, unfortunately he is one of a kind!

    I so love reading your descriptions, how you can describe everything a literary way.
    I’m sure you have your father’s genes. :-)

    Hope you taking a good care of yourself for yourself, for your dearest, and for us!

    Sanding you lots of love from the AB Israeli forum here in Israel.

    Yours for ever till the end of all worlds,

    Dear Sir,

    All politicians are very endearing once you take them out of their politics. For without it they are as human as you and I are. I now understand your friendship with Amar Singh.

    Glad to know that PAA is getting tax exempted.
    Mr. Modi is definitely is one of the best CM and a revolutionary. He has changed the face of Gurjat and his speeches are truely awesome. His remarks on face and voice are truely apt.

    Sir,

    Somehow I anticipated that paa may be declared ‘tax free’ in Gujrat while you informed us that you are heading to Ahmedabad for a special screening with CM. Sixth sense I have.

    It is nice to know that Mr. Modi is a connoisure of art too. This quality was unexposed hitherto. Long live Mr. Modi, we need more leaders like you ( pls be kind to all people you rule)

    Mr. Amar Singh has suddenly resigned from all posts in SP. He appears to be a better man than normal politicians.I will miss his comments on all TV channels. He is a man who could not me ignored( love me or hate me but dont ignore me types).

    i am happy to know that uou will take part with him at the activities and new projects to promot the beutifull sites you have in Inadia all over the states…

    Print media is full of news of all sorts including your photo with Gujarat CM, and long article on your friend AS.
    Talking about Gujarat… you forgot to mention the steppend wells of Adalaj and Modhera… one has to see them to fall in love, or rise in love…. the latter is better… but why do people say the former.

    dear amitji
    greetings
    PAA was a different kind of flick. so definitely it had to get the response from people it deserves to get. I also liked the movie except that your voice in the entire movie is too low. I do not know why is it like that. A few people siting near me in the hall were also making similar observation.

    i have never been to gandhinagar but sounds good that it your were impressed by its cleanines.

    also good to know that shahrukh has grown up and is behaving like a sensible man finally. I haven’t been able to watch 3 idiots but people are saying that it is really good. Hope to watch it soon.

    Mr Amitabh Bachchanji, thank you for all the wonderful compliments for our Modiji, i am from surat (gujarat) and into the textile business.We are proudly celebrating the Swarnim Gujarat Celebration (50 years ) . He has been very dynamic and accessible as the chief minister, as a support to my cm i did the project of jobless diamond worker rehabilitation programme when the diamond industry was suffering the crisis due to economic downturn in u.s .we also supported the anti tobacco rally on 31st may.This month end as a celebration of cancer day (4th feb) and swarnim gujarat celebration a mini marathon is organised in surat. We would be more than happy and proud if you(sir) flag off the marathon (let’s get united to fight cancer). In all the appreciation to my chief minister sir i forgot to congratulate you for the superb acting in the movie Pa…… i was in tears…what a meaningful movie…….indeed your are the best, no one can ever ever be compared with you……you are a very humble and wonderful person…..the invitation for the marathon is a very very informal one but in case if you can manage , we can work upon it………god bless you good health, wealth and success…..take care….

    Hello Mr. Bachchan! How are You? I have hope that everything is all right. Best wishes for Rann and Teen Patti. Thanks for describe your feelings about visit in Gujarat. I agree with your mind about SRK in Swades and KANK.When I saw him in Swades he wasn’t incredible hero but normal simple person and it was beautiful !
    In KANK I saw other face SRK not perfect,romantic character like in DDLJ .I saw completely different person who is irritating,nerwous and sad because he can’t makes his dreams thruth. KANK is one of my favourite film. Lots of love to You!

    Dear sir,

    625 - 483 = 142
    142 / 30 = 4.73 M

    142 X 10 per day = 1420 yellow lines
    483 / 484 / 485 => 1/2 work over.

    PRESSURE , PRESSURE - Sorry sir, commitment is duty and duty is duty. Meeting commitments = Achievement.

    We would still keep waiting, coz we love you.

  230. Devkishin says:

    I am a great admirer of Gujarat Chief Minister Mr Narendra Modi. He is the only Chief Minister who has been voted to power for three consecutive terms by the voters of Gujarat . In every Survey State of Gujarat has been mentioned as the ‘Best Administered State’ in India. Mr Modi is primarily responsible for the phenomenal progress of Gujarat.

    Unlike the Chief Ministers of other stastes, particularly Congress ruled states, Modi is down to earth and forthright in his views.

    I receive regular feed backs from Modi’s Gujarat Government in regard to new programmes and developmental work undertaken by the government as I am registered at Modi’s personal site.

    No communal riots have taken place in state of Gujarat post Godhra incident.Members of all communities are living in peace .

    I have stayed in Ahmedabad city for 2 years way back in late 80s and the Gujarat of today is completely different from Gujarat of 80s and 90s during Congress rule.

    The spontaneous reaction of Mr Modi suggesting tax free exhibition of ”paa” in the country speaks volumes about his method of working. He takes decisions on the spot . He is the man of action . He will not hesitate to give credit wherever it is due.

    In my eyes he is another Iron Man of India after Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
    He is heading for higher glory in his political career and may well become the Prime Minister of India after the next General Elections.

    Mr Modi’s assessment of your outstanding role in ”Paa” is so very realistic and correct.
    I QUOTE

    ‘The main and most important assets for an actor are his face and his voice. They are the elements that attract an audience to a performer. But you have done away with both aspects in this film and still succeeding in making yourself attractive to an audience. That is remarkable !’

    What a wonderful tribute from a Head of the State for your amazing role in ”Paa”

    LONG LIVE NARENDRA MODI

    Namaste Amitji,

    Apologies for posting a comment later than usual. Just couldn’t get my hands on the reliance broadband+ usb drive. Finally, mom’s back home so i get to use it.

    PAA is definitely one of the best films ever, so its an understatement to say that Mr. Narendra Modi is all praises for it.

    The filmfare nomination forms are out and all the members of EF will vote for ‘the superstar of the mellinium’, for the best actor award. Also I think Vidya Balan deserves an award for her performance. Undoubtedly you will win the best actor award, but ‘PAA’ has stiff competition for the best film award.

    Eagerly waiting for you to post the ‘ My folders’ from your Nokia phone.

    Love,

    Pratik

  241. Naresh Bhatt- London (Bachchan Is In My Blood) says:

    Hi Amitji,

    I am glad you enjoyed your visit to Gujarat state. I am Gujarati, and proud to be so. It is a fast developing state and changed a lot since I first went in 1987. Narendra Modi has pushed on a lot of the development.

    I just wish a direct link from London to Ahmedabad could be re-established, all the major Indian airlines now go via Mumbai which is a shame for people not wanting to change planes etc. They did have almost daily flights from here which was so hassle free.

    Good luck with Rann, release date must be before the month end.

    It is icy now and temperatures will hover at 0c for the next few days.

  245. Dinkar Kamani says:

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,

    Talking of Gujarat and Somnath, I have a little piece of information for you.

    Mahatma Gandhi had instructed Sardar Patel and my great-grandfather Dr. K.M. Munshi to rebuild the Somnath temple. Dr. K.M. Munshi was very close to Gandhiji and Sardar Patel. He was appointed Agent-General to Hyderabad during independence and consolidation of the princely states and later, became governor of U.P. (then United Provinces) and home minister of the erstwhile Bombay State.

    Regards.




  246. Aditya M says:

    Your observations about Narendra Modi are so true! Couldnt agree more with you, but some people in the media want to project him as a villain and do not highlight the good that he has done - Unfortunate, but despite the negative media coverage he continues to win election after election - Gujarat ka Aadesh toh Modi ji ke liye hai! ;)

  248. Tehreem (UK) says:

    The simplicity of “Paa” is striking and it is the genuine straightforwardness of the film that attracts the audience. I am joyous to read that CM and his whole cabinet also celebrating the suceess of “Paa” along with the extensive retrospective of your cinematic performance as “Auro”.

    The actor needs to be mobilized while making every single step, all the time you need to prove that you’re an actor. You have enriched the whole culture with your various roles over the years, something that seemingly always leaves its footprint in the spectators’ memories. So, l just want to wish you good health and happiness, so that you could make us happy with your roles as often as possible.

    Have a safe journey home.

    Love & prayers




  249. Nitesh Patel says:

    Dear Amitji-BigB,

    you have been to Gujarat. You have become even Bigger on comments to our Honourable visionery CM Narendra Modi. Pa is undoubtedly great movie and AB is best in Auro’s role… same from the first shot till the end… very difficult to maintain that.. That’s the reason Big B is the Superstar of the century and i also believe one of the Superhuman’s on the planet. Wish good health and good work to continue. bye




  250. Shivaa Sharma says:

    I have always read your blog not only because I admire your performances as an artist but also because I admired you personally as a man of dignity, honour and great character. However I am a little disappointed to read of your association with Mr Modi.

    Now that Gujarat is developing at a high rate, no one seems to remember the 2000 odd people who were killed. Perhaps money carries higher value than and our duty towards God which is to love and help everyone regardless of their religion. I was there and could do nothing but hang my head in shame as a Hindu as hundreds of Muslims were systematically hunted down with the approval of the state government. A man of Mr Vajpayee’s stature had to pay a dear price for his appeasement of Mr Modi.

    You are and will always remain a great actor. Nobody and nothing can take that away from you. But in a industry that has always claimed to be secular, I am surprised at you wanting to associate yourself with Mr Modi. Perhaps I am too young to understand the things that are in play here. Or perhaps business always trumps ethics and moral responsibility towards fellow human beings.

    I don’t think I will ever understand what happened here today. And perhaps it’s better if I stop reading your blog. You don’t need an unappreciative and disagreeable reader either. Wishing you all the best always with all your endeavours. Thanks for the last 625 days. God bless.

    Dear Amitji,

    Mr Narendra Modi is Very intelligent man, What he said was abosultly correct but i differ a little here. Here everyone knows you have played a character and no doubt you have done extremely well beyond anybody’s compere. But if this was to be done by a person with actual disease No body in the industry would have opted to cast them ……. Every body know you are most handsome man on earth.. But the character if played by anybody else would have been a mere flop…….. and audience would have not accepted him………..Please take the comment in good spirit sir with all due respect to u,. I only differed on the comment of Modi saab..

    I request you to just visit Gujarat and find out for yourself the respect and love and affection the members of minority community have for THE CHIEF MINISTER NARENDRA MODI.

    THE MONSTER OF HATRED TOWARDS MODI HAD BEEN CREATED BY THE MEDIA.

    INSTEAD OF CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM THE PRESENT DAY MEDIA IS QUICK TO JUMP TO THE CONCLUSIONS WHICH SUITS THEM I. E. TO INCREASE CIRCULATION OF THEIR NEWSPAPER BY FAIR OR FOUL MEANS .THE MEDIA— THE PRESS AND THE ELECTRONIC BOTH ARE THE MAIN YES I REPEAT THE MAIN CULPRITS.IN EVERY PART OF THE WORLD THE MEDIA MISGUIDES RATHER THAN GUIDES THE CITIZENS.

    NARENDRA MODI IS CONSIDERED AS THE MOST EFFICIENT AND POWERFUL POLITICAL LEADER IN PRESENT DAY SET-UP AND IS A LIKELY CANDIDATE FOR PRIME MINSTER’S POST.

  263. manojmehta71 says:

    Dear Amitabh Bachchan ji,
    This is the first time i really feel that i should really note down to you my appreciation of you. Today’s post reads really good. Especially since you have proved that human courtesies have not to be taken for granted, but carried forward too with grace and humility. By writing about Mr. Modi, you have done the most right thing. If anyone in India were to make a list of persons who deserves praise, surely Mr. Modi’s name will lead the rest.
    This reminds me of a story that i have read about Mr. Abraham Lincoln, who visited his friend in Manchester, and one day as they were taking an early morning walk, a negro seeing Mr. Lincoln, removed his hat and bowed his head while saying “Good Morning Sirs”. Linclon too bowed, lifted his hat and responded “Good Morning to you too my friend”. Slightly startled, the white friend of Mr. Lincoln said to him, “it is so strange, why did you do that. In my country no white bows before a black or greet him”. Without any slight expression, Lincoln said to his friend “I just cannot allow anyone to surpass me in good manners”
    with great respect and regards
    Manoj Mehta




  264. Raghu Vamsy M.G. says:

    Namaste Sir,
    I’m just going out on a limb here and assuming you’d actually respond to this peculiar request of our’s - the us in question being the Chinmaya Mission. Yes it’s kind of opportunistic on our part to have to use your blog to contact you but then you’re Amitabh Bachchan. I am part of the Chinmaya Yuva Kendra(CHYK - For obvious reasons I’d prefer to use the full form when talking about the youth wing of the Chinmaya Mission) and we’re staging a play on the 30th of January at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Chowpatty. The play is called “Adrshya - A quest for the unseen” and is a knowledge based play on the actual origins of our civilization being older than that of the Indus Valley Civilization. It aims to quell most of the misconceptions modern history labours under about our culture and the symbolism that are an inherent part of this rich heritage - one very important misconception being the Aryan Invasion theory and the effect it has had on a global scenario. It might be a little too much to ask but as we said we’re going out on a limb and requesting your support in any way possible. In the case that you might consider the request please send us a mail id we could send a soft copy of our appeal brochure to. The brochure has details regarding how you can support us. We do have donor passes to the show(the most expensive pass being Rs. 5000). I have always thought MAIN AZAD HOON is way too underrated…

    Hi Bhai
    As you talking about ordinary citizon… Once again character pop-up in my mind is Prof.Sukumar…. Chupke Chupke. THE well control profesor character.. na 99% no 101% Simply perfect 100%. Specially Office Scene with Dharmedra and Asrani (me jo hue woh me nahi hu aur me jo nahi hu woh me hu….).
    I ONCE AGAIN Request you to chat something with us, how you prepared for this character…
    As seen in current cinema that many top artist slip to overacting, after giving some hits for getting some awards… BuT roll play by you in C.C. is simply perfect.
    PLSSSSS write ….

    Nice to see to roll model’s photo together in todays newspaper Hon.Narendra Modi with Mr.Amitabh… my one idol missing… Sachin Tendulkar.

    Luv U always




  267. Daksha says:

    Dear Sir,

    Wishing you a very good afternoon in India. It will be much warmer there than it has been here in UK over the past few days. I had a fabulous day yesterday, got home at midnight, up at six in the morning. I note you were writing till late at night..sorry into the early morning! Yes you are extremely committed to your extended family. Once again, may I be allowed to request that you get sufficient rest and sleep for your own well being and our peace of mind.

    Having read your first paragraph, I was thinking about every move of yours being recorded when you are out and about and how this affects the mind of the person being filmed. Those facial expressions, those gestures, those signs of stress and fatigue, the speeches and all… When you were playing the pop-philosopher in the Big Boss, the world was assessing you assessing the participants who in turn were assessing each other. So the pop-philosopher was not really “free”…he himself was being watched by many including the Big Boss himself.

    Cameras everywhere, recordings everywhere in print and in vision. God help all! Just reading your thoughts, people like me learn so much. Did you know Councils in UK have been known to install spy cameras at rubbish dumps to check what householders are throwing away! (To do with recycling rules). If that is not enough, some of the residents (as reported by The Mail) had devices secretly planted in the household bins left in the gardens. If there is a big nanny-state anywhere, it is here in UK I am sorry to say. Why go to extremes?

    Anyway back to your first paragraph, I know what you mean..obligations must never be ignored. Partnership can be beneficial for both parties. Mr Modi, I know a little about him. In spite of the controversies surrounding him, Gujarat has prospered under his leadership. I am aware that many States in India see Gujarat..at the forefront in trade and commerce… as a role-model for the rest of the country. History of communal violence and loss of lives cannot be reversed. It just cannot. It would be in everyones best interest to take a step forward and make opportunities and improve relations between communities for the benefit of all.

    So pleased to know you were given such a welcoming reception but then why not? Auro seems to be sitting in everyone’s lap and enjoying the attention! Talking about films and actors, yes 3 Idiots was good except for some level of vulgarity on display.

    I had missed out comments to some of your previous Posts. You wrote in Hindi in one of them. So sweet of you. Just to prove that I can read Hindi, aapko bhi dher sara sneh or sadbhavna or itnaaaaaaa……sara pyar..yahan se wahan tak jahan aap ho. Day 621 Post.. Your words on leaders and followers ring truth. Day 622 - You being in the company of Agastya..you will have loved it!! What an opportunity! Your house turning into a centre for modern gadgetry…but of course..this is the main attraction for children and Nana ji alike! The world of internet and the opportunities it open..just unbelievable. It literally changes lives.

    I think I am now up-to-date with my comments. One feels better you see.

    With love and gratitude,
    Daksha

    Dear Amit,
    Nice to see your comment and your admiration for CM Narendra Damodardas Modi jee. I am big follower of Modi jee and I came to know about your blogging because I have subscribe to his website.
    After reading your blog I had few question and not very sure if you would like to publish it on your blog and even bother to answer it . Either way I would like to go ahead.
    I know your association with Amar Singh who has given Modi jee many name and I don’t want to repeat, what will happen to your relationship with SP leaders (Mulayam and Amar). I guess you may term it as business deal AKA. give/ take ,not the political decision. Many of your family member has got some or other favor from Amar ,don’t you consider such favor while taking a decision to become Ambassador for Communal State like Gujarat (That’s view of many non BJP follower).
    I do welcome your decision but just trying to understand how personalities like you take such decision.
    PS: I am not from Gujarat and never lived there but I had spend a quite long time over there.

    Thanks,
    Vikash

    Dear Sir,

    Very nice of you to have attended the premiere of PAA in Gujarat with its CM.
    And equally nice of Mr Narendra Modi to have granted the tax exemption to the movie…

    But I guess this tax exemption is TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE…
    PAA should have got an ALL-INDIA TAX EXEMPTION in its first week itself!

    You’ve spoken so highly about SRK and his portrayal in KANK/Swades…
    But I think ACTING is one thing that is just BEYOND this fellow….\

    What you liked in the movies was the CHARACTER - not the ACTING.

    Moreover, POMPOUS people CANNOT portray a common man EVER!
    To play a common man, you must be humble in real life as well, and not arrogant like this fellow srk…

    Anyways, sorry I discussed this self-obsessed, full-of-himself, arrogant idiot.

    Sorry again….

    With love & regards,

    Dear Amitji,

    Meeting of the titans. One from the politics and the other from the theatrics. What a meet !
    Your compliments for SRK, Sharman.Boman deserve to be recorded for posterity not only because it comes from one who has done it all but also because your logic for the compliment is so real.
    Again missed you at Ahmedabad where my flight was diverted to due to fog at Delhi !
    End Line -
    Two Brothers

    There were once 2 brothers who lived on the 80th level. On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay that the lifts were not working and that they have to climb the stairs home. After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags then and climbed on. When they have struggled to the 40th level, the younger brother started to grumble and both of them began to quarrel.
    They continued to climb the flights of steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor. They then realized that they have only 20 levels more to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at long last.
    Each stood calmly before the door and waited for the other to open the door. And they realized that the key was in their bags which was left on the 20th floor
    This story is reflecting on our life…many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when young. We seldom get to do the things that we really like and love and are under so much pressure and stress so that by the age of 20, we get tired and decided to dump this load. Being free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and dream ambitious wishes. But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We began to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live life as a misery as we are never satisfied.
    Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining anymore, and we began to walk the final episode in peace and calmness. We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only to realize that we could not rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream …… a dream we abandoned 60 years ago.
    Yours as always
    Ramanathan

  301. Pradip Shah says:

    Dear AB,
    Being Gujju I am debating whether it’s right to get elated with your high praise for Gujarat-Isn’t this earth is ours and there is no need of any division -my state and your state and my country etc…Earth is just plain white!!! There is something good and progressive happening and that is cause of joy and not identification with that place.
    SRK has to be very fortunate/skilled marketer as all the time prior to his all new releases he invariably gathers momentum on personal relations as well as on commercial front too. Media and fraternity (including U this time! sorry to put it so bluntly) seem to get employed by him and it becomes one-way circus.
    Him praising U to the sky for Paa-Him agreed to appear on Bingo-Him present on Paa’s premiere and now your turn to do the same. This is just the observation and very obvious one.
    It requires lots of courage on your part to appear on the same platform with Modi and offer true observation of him as CM-a common man. No one can deny his simplicity and his relentless actions to make Gujarat better. Anil and million other can vouch for that.
    On a side note there two most successful and an interesting characters in Mumbai cinema comes from Gujarat-one is in Guru and other is in 3 Idiots called Ranchoddas Chanchad aka Rancho.

  306. MITUL KANSAL says:

    Dear Sir/Madam
    Happy New Year 2010.
    The problem of pollution and environmental degradation cannot be effectively tackled without public awareness and participation. I would like to contribute some ideas & suggestions towards environment protection.
    First of all I promise that-
    1) I will not eat non-vegetarian food because plants and animals make the ecological balance of the earth.
    2) I will not use twigs to brush my teeth so that there can be more trees.
    3) I will try to save water & conserve electricity.
    4) I promise to go to nearby jungle, during monsoon each year to plant trees.
    5) I will not burn wood, and will avoid felling trees/plants.
    6) I will not use auto sprayer perfumes as they harm the ozone layer.
    7) I will avoid using disposable blades as they are not environmental friendly.
    8) I will use recycle paper to conserve wood.
    9) I will not burn wood, and will avoid felling trees/plants.
    10) I will destroy disposable cups and plates after use; control leakage from taps and tanks.
    11) I will put all the paste and rubbish in the dustbin. I will never throw it outside the home or anywhere, on the roads or street.
    12) I will minimize the use of vehicle.
    13) I will listen music at low volume.
    14) I will not burn any cracker during Diwali as it not only promotes child labour but also results in lot of pollution.
    15) I will cover distance up to 2 to 3 kilometers either on foot or by Bicycle. 16) I will gift my friends plants on their birthdays as a gift.
    17) I will stop synthetic drinks because they are not environmental friendly.
    18) I will not use polymer as they are not environmental friendly.
    19) I will celebrate my functions without using loudspeakers.
    20) I always use cooking gas instead of firewood to prepare food. I will use solar cooker during sunny days.
    21) I switch off the lights when it is not required, as energy saving is environmental friendly.
    Some other suggestions: 1) Make use of toilets & latrines instead of using open space.
    2) No smoking should be observed at public place.
    3) Do not use mosquito coil for repelling the mosquito. “Instead of this use mosquito net”.
    4) Check quality of petrol & diesel at petrol pump. In case of doubt make complaint to the admistration.
    5) Do not spit.
    6) Killing of birds & animals should be avoided.
    7) In hilly areas grass cover should not be uprooted from stones.
    8) More insistence on Car-Pools. Advertise routes on radio/papers.
    9) Take a pledge to keep your vehicle off the road over a week. Prefer using public transport.
    10) Keep our seas and beaches clean by not putting any offerings and other wastes into them.
    11) Zoos should be located in pollution free atmosphere and animals should be given their natural habitat.
    12) We have a blue sky & it’s our birth right to keep it blue.
    13) Keep ozone layer intact to save us from ultraviolet radiation.
    14) Discourage use of Freon, encourage Freon free appliances.
    15) Try to reduce greenhouse effect to make your life green.
    16) Sun is the source of life on earth. Use it in your daily life.
    17) Hunt your cruelty to save the wildlife.
    18) Use biogas which is more compatible.
    19) Don’t disturb Ecological balance by unscrupulous extraction of ground water. 20) Use oil safely, protect the environment globally.
    21) Waste your time not to waste the earth.
    I hope in the days to come, we will forge ahead for abatement of pollution through community action.
    I feel very happy if you reply me.
    Wishing you a very happy pollution free & environment friendly new year.
    With Best Regards
    Your Sincerely

  309. Brenda says:

    Dear Amitji,

    Your post was very welcomed and packed with interesting news but at 4.07 AM!! Did you manage any sleep?

    Delighted your film ‘Paa’ was greatly received by the Chief Minister and all those luminaries in Gujarat, and granting tax exemption for the film was excellent news. It was also a beauiful compliment paid to you by the CM – every word so utterly true!

    SRK and your other friends will cherish all the messages and responses you sent them, a keepsake from you for posterity.

    Congratulations for the forthcoming Awards, Sir. And all good wishes for your promotions for RANN and Teen Patti. A delicious treat to look forward to in 2010!

    You’ve probably arrived home by now, please have some rest and enjoy the company of the grandchildren.

    Our love and gratitude to you individually and wholly, always. You are in my prayers daily.

    With love & affection,
    Brenda

  312. Jasmine of London says:

    Good afternoon my dearest Mr Bachchan,

    I do hope you rested well before heading home to your days activities. Your posts are eagerly anticipated and eternally enlightening; but in the cold light of day, the thought of you constructing your thoughts at 4am seems more than excruciating!

    I was entirely unaware of the treasures nestled within the state of Gujarat, but am intrigued by the utterly enchanting description of the submerged city of architecture, it sounds the substance fairy tales are made of. I’m certain we will unravel more distinctive charms once you begin promoting as their new ‘face’. Evidently, you are the crest of the crown and emblematic in national projects and films alike.

    It’s a little unnerving to note that time as a diminishing commodity seems be a prevalent theme in your posts and perhaps your thoughts recently. You identified it as ‘the villain’ the other day and now the implication is you have less than you need. I think worrying about how much one has is the most effective way to squander it, its one of the few things in our lives we cannot control. Goodness knows you extract the most from every moment you have and surely that is the best anyone can hope for. The human will, especially one as powerful as yours is never to be underestimated and I firmly believe while we are motivated to achieve, time has no option other than to yield to our aspirations and comply. Keep the hopes and dreams alive, fuel the will with ardent desire and you shall have time to achieve till eternity!.. You know we are all depending on it!

    An even better way to abandon time, or anything else, IS in our company and you’re welcome to do so at every second of the day except slumber times if you wish. I cannot say I understand your signing off with gratitude, we should be grateful to you for allowing us to bask in the glow from the outpour of your warm heart. Your love can never truly be forgotten, its just like anything precious - pearls in oysters or stars in the sky - you just know it’s there.

    Wishing you the very best of luck with the Teen Patti presentation and Rann promotions. A cross over in their work was inevitable since they are both so close to release but the diversity may be refreshing for you..

    I may just return soon, the inclement weather is a living nightmare. I arrived very late to work and need to make a start. But, please look after yourself in the meanwhile Mr Bachchan.

    Reciprocating your love and warmth with gratitude,

    Jasmine
    xx

    Yes,Shahrukh khan was very natural in’swades’.He underplayed and had none of his mannerisms.It shows that he’s a very good actor,just needs to tone it down a bit at times.I failed to understand what ‘KANK’ really wanted to convey.The film,itself was a disaster!
    Good to know that’PAA’is going to be tax free in Gujrat!
    With warm regards…

    Respected Sir,

    I am again speechless after watching your movie PAA. I am 44 yrs old and have grown up seeing your movies. That is very true that there is very big gap between you and me and I will never be able to meet you and really very thankfull to bigadda.com from where I can tell you directly that you are the best not only in movies but in real life too. Hats off to baabooji (Shri Haribansh Rai Bachchan Ji) who gave you very good sanskar and Mr.Abhishek Bachachan is taking it further. I wish and I will be honoured once in my life time if I have a chance to touch your feet.

    Take care and do take care of your health because I want to see double the movies of yours that you have worked till date.

    I think politician and actor need to grow up. Who gave right to Narendra Modi to make tax free for PAA. I am angry with the politics and bollywood. Why don’t actor learn lesson that they make so much money that they don’t need tax rebates. why don’t Amitabh stand up say stop Mr. Modi, we don’t need gov help for this movie, we can do it our own. Bottom line all of this ppl money hungry..I haven’t and will n’t watch movie of any bollywood actores …..,you can’t get my money ….sorrry

    hi amitji,
    i know its very difficult taking compliments . but u r in such a position and ur works r such that even if u stand or sit u’ll be complimented on it so just enjoy it .
    its very cute of u to try and duck compliments . and yes i agree gujarat has become a real progressive state be it the roads or the heritage sites . but some places like dwaraka r so crowded that v don’t enjoy the holiness of the place .
    sleep early :(
    take care
    love u :)

    हम सभी हिन्दू- मुस्लिम भाई-भाई हैं….हमें आपस में नहीं लड़ना चाहिए…

    आप को श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी जी के लिए इतनी नफरत है कि आप इसके लिए अपने भगवान ‘अमितजी’ को भी बुरा भला कह रहे हो….

    To,
    Mr. Amitabh Bachchan

    Dear Sir,

    Please accept my greetings for the entire Bachchan family.

    Today, I would like to point out the reference which you made in your blog after your visit in my hometown Gujarat. I also do appreciate your efforts and acting in movie PAA. Please pardon me as due to my assignments and work in Space Industry, I got very less time to watch movies, and so conveying my greetings for the success of movie PAA so late.

    At present, I am working on some important aspects in Space Industry, such as energy and cost efficient space transportation systems and space pollution along with my research studies in Astronautics and Space Engineering at UK. Many of us are aware about limited usage of space and the pollution created by us. We have limited space (places) for new satellites and the ‘retired’ satellites and other debris (includes from tooth brush to rocket stages) are the present threat to upcoming satellites, space vehicles, as well as environment of our Earth as they may contain radio active materials or propulsion tank which provides thrust to the space vehicles. I would like to request you to kindly go through the video as below, which describes more in detail about space pollution management:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GPDQ8uEb3c

    What emerges as an inescapable conclusion is that life on Earth will not remain unaffected and impervious to the increasing changes in space wrought by us - and we are both the perpetrators as well as the victims. We can continue to ignore the situation only at our own peril and the incalculable harm that we are bringing on ourselves cannot be wished away by remaining in denial.

    Man, by nature, is conceited and is used to working alone. But in the present scenario, we need to join our hands and fight together against the potential disasters that we might create because of our limited understanding and narrow vision.

    As we, in India, believe in the adage ‘vasudhaiva kutumbakam’ - the world is but one family. It is time mankind got together to make a concerted attempt and to strive and work towards to a solution so we may continue our endeavours for the betterment of life on Earth.

    I would like to request you to kindly spread this message to the normal people of the world as you are the best to communicate this message to the common men. I don’t know whether I shall be getting your reply or not, but, if you read and go through the details, I will be happy.

    Warm regards,

    Friends,

    My first interaction with you all, through the medium of Blog has immensely encouraged me.

    I thank you all, for showering your love and predilection just within few hours, from India and abroad.

    Your candor and honest feelings depicts my responsibility towards you. Only the God almighty knows whether I am worthy of your trust or not…

    You might be aware of the fact that, I hail from a humble back-ground. My Family, in its seven generations has had zilch connections with the Politics or Public Life. Coming from a small village and belonging to a lower middle class, I was not even fortunate enough to receive quality education.

    But, as a lifetime student, I am always trying to learn and to shoulder every responsibility truthfully and efficiently. Many gentlemen have been contributing in shaping my life for the betterment.

    I have paramount faith in you, that you will assist me in sculpting my life, further.

    I unceasingly seek blessings from the elders and best wishes of my friends, in order, not to put a wrong foot forward, not to harm any one even unintentionally, be it any person or any society or my country itself.

    I have deep faith that the love and faith bestowed upon me will definitely rejuvenate me with a novel energy.

    Yours,

    ব্লগের মাধ্যমে আপনাদের সঙ্গে আমার প্রথম সাক্ষাত আমার উত্সাহ অনেকগুণ বাড়িয়ে দিয়েছে৷

    কয়েক ঘন্টার মধ্যে দেশ-বিদেশ থেকে আপনার যে ভালবাসা দেখিয়েছেন, এরজন্য আপনাদের কাছে আমি কৃতজ্ঞ৷

    আপনাদের ব্যক্ত করা সমস্ত চিন্তাধারাতে আমার প্রতি কি কি আশা করছেন, সেটা ফুটে উঠেছে৷ আপনাদের সমস্ত চিন্তাধারার আমি যোগ্য কিনা এটা একমাত্র ঈশ্বর জানে৷

    আপনারা জানেন আমি একটি সামান্য পরিবার থেকে উঠেছি৷ আমার পরিবার গত সাত পুরুষের রাজনীতি কিংবা বর্তমান জীবনের থেকে এতটুকু সম্বন্ধ রাখে না৷ ছোট্ট একটি গ্রাম ও নিম্ন মধ্যম বর্গীয় পরিবার থেকে হওয়ার কারণে আমি উচ্চস্তরীয় শিক্ষালাভের সৌভাগ্য অর্জন করতে পারি নি৷

    কিন্তু… এটা… প্রত্যেকটা দায়ীত্বকে সত্যিকারের ও ভালভাবে পালন করার জন্য, একজন বিদ্যার্থীর মত চেষ্টা করে যাচ্ছি৷ জীবনকে যোগ্যভাবে বাহিত করার জন্য অনেক সত্‍ মানুষের সাহায্য পাচ্ছি৷

    আপনারাও আমার চলার পথে সাহায্য করবেন, এটা আমি বিশ্বাস করি৷

    বয়ঃজেষ্ঠদের আর্শীবাদ ও বন্ধুদের শুভকামনা পেতে থাকি যাতে ভুল করেও কখনও কিছু ভুল না করি… কোন ব্যক্তি, সমাজ অথবা দেশের আমার দ্বারা কোন ক্ষতি না হয়৷

    আপনাদের প্রেম ও চিন্তাধারা আমার মধ্যে নতুন শক্তির সঞ্চার করবে, সেটাকে শ্রদ্ধা করি৷

    ਦੋਸਤੋ,
    ਬਲੌਗ ਦੇ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਨਾਲ ਹੋਈ ਮੇਰੀ ਪਹਿਲੀ ਮੁਲਾਕਾਤ ਨੇ ਮੇਰਾ ਹੌਂਸਲਾ ਮਨੋਬਲ ਕਈ ਗੁਣਾ ਵਧਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ. ਕੁੱਝ ਹੀ ਘੰਟਿਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੇਸ਼ ਵਿਦੇਸ਼ ਤੋਂ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸਭਨਾਂ ਨੇ ਜੋ ਪਿਆਰ ਮੋਹ ਦੀ ਵਰਖ਼ਾ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ, ਮੈਂ ਉਸਦੇ ਲਈ ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਧੰਨਵਾਦੀ ਹਾਂ. ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਕੀਤੀਆਂ ਭਾਵਨਾਵਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਤੁਹਾਡੀਆਂ ਸਭ ਦੀਆਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਤੋਂ ਜੋ ਉਮੀਦਾਂ ਹਨ, ਉਸ ਤੋਂ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ. ਫਿਲਹਾਲ ਤੁਹਾਡੀਆਂ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਉਮੀਦਾਂ ਦੇ ਮੈਂ ਯੋਗ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਨਹੀਂ ਇਹ ਤਾਂ ਭਗਵਾਨ ਉੱਤੇ ਹੀ ਛੱਡ ਦੇਣਾ ਬਿਹਤਰ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ.

    ਤੁਸੀਂ ਜਾਣਦੇ ਹੀ ਹੋ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਇੱਕ ਸਾਧਾਰਣ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਸੰਬੰਧ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਹਾਂ. ਮੇਰੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਦੀਆਂ ਪਿਛਲੀਆਂ ਸੱਤ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਰਾਜਨੀਤੀ ਨਾਲ ਰੱਤੀ ਭਰ ਵੀ ਸੰਬੰਧ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ. ਛੋਟੇ ਜਿਹੇ ਪਿੰਡ ਅਤੇ ਸਾਧਾਰਣ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਤੋਂ ਹੋਣ ਦੇ ਕਾਰਣ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਉੱਚ ਕੋਟੀ ਦੀ ਸਿੱਖਿਆ ਨਸੀਬ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋਈ.

    ਪਰੰਤੂ ਇਹ ਹਰ ਇੱਕ ਜਿੰਮੇਦਾਰੀ ਨੂੰ ਸੱਚੇ ਅਤੇ ਚੰਗੇ ਤਰੀਕੇ ਨਾਲ ਨਿਭਾਉਣ ਦੇ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ ਵਿਦਿਆਰਥੀ ਦੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਪੂਰਾ ਯਤਨ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ. ਜੀਵਨ ਨੂੰ ਚੰਗੇ ਤਰੀਕੇ ਨਾਲ ਘੜ੍ਹਣ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਸੱਜਣਾਂ ਦੀ ਮਦਦ ਮਿਲਦੀ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ.

    ਮੈਨੂੰ ਉਮੀਦ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਹੁਣ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਵੀ ਮੇਰੇ ਜੀਵਨ ਨੂੰ ਹੋਰ ਸੁਚੱਜਾ ਬਣਾਉਣ ਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੇਰੀ ਮੱਦਦ ਕਰੋਗੇ. ਬਜ਼ੁਰਗਾਂ ਦਾ ਆਸ਼ੀਰਵਾਦ ਅਤੇ ਮਿੱਤਰਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਦੁਆਵਾਂ ਮਿਲਦੀਆਂ ਰਹੀਆਂ, ਜਿਸ ਨਾਲ ਮੈਂ ਕਦੇ ਵੀ ਭੁੱਲਕੇ ਕੁੱਝ ਗਲਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੀਤਾ. ਮੈਂ ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਇਹੋ ਹੀ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਕੋਈ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ, ਸਮਾਜ ਜਾਂ ਦੇਸ਼ ਦਾ ਮੇਰੇ ਤੋਂ ਦੁੱਖੀ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇ.

    ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਪਿਆਰ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੀਆਂ ਭਾਵਨਾਵਾਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਵੀਂ ਊਰਜਾ ਅਤੇ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਦਾ ਸੰਚਾਰ ਕਰਨਗੀਆਂ.

    ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਆਪਣਾ

    मित्रांनो,

    ब्लॉगच्या माध्यमातून आपल्याशी साधलेल्या संवादातून माझा उत्साह किती तरी पटीने वाढला आहे.

    अवघ्या काही तासांतच तुम्ही देश-परदेशातून प्रेमाचा जो वर्षाव केलात, त्याबद्दल मी आपला आभारी आहे.

    आपल्या भावनांमधून आपल्या माझ्याकडून असलेल्या अपेक्षा व्यक्त झाल्या आहेत. पण या अपेक्षा पूर्ण करण्यास मी सक्षम आहे की नाही हे तो एक ईश्वरच जाणे.

    आपल्याला माहिती आहे, की मी एका सामान्य कुटुंबातून पुढे आलो आहे. माझ्या कुटुंबातील मागील सात पिढ्यांचा राजकारणाशी तिळमात्र संबंध नाही. अगदी छोट्या गावातून आणि मध्यमवर्गीय कुटुंबातून आल्याने चांगल्या प्रतीचे शिक्षण मिळण्याचे भाग्यही मला लाभले नाही.

    पण…पडणार्‍या प्रत्येक जबाबदारीला सच्चेपणाने आणि चांगल्या पद्धतीने निभावण्यासाठी एखाद्या विद्यार्थ्यासारखा मी सतत प्रयत्नरत असतो. जीवनाला आकार देण्यासाठी वेळोवेळी अनेक चांगल्या लोकांची मदत मला मिळत राहिली आहे.

    माझ्या घडण्याच्या या प्रक्रियेत आपणही मदत कराल, असा मला विश्वास आहे.

    ज्येष्ठांचे आशीर्वाद व मित्रांच्या शुभेच्छा मला मिळत राहोत, ज्यामुळेच मी माझ्या आयुष्यात अनावधानानेही चुकू नये. कोणत्याही व्यक्तीचे, समाजाचे वा देशाचे माझ्याकडून अहित होऊ नये.

    आपले प्रेम व शुभेच्छांमुळे मला नवी उर्जा मिळेल, अशी माझी श्रद्धा आहे.

    आपला सर्वांचा

    મિત્રો,

    બ્લોગ દ્વારા આપની સાથેની મારી પ્રથમ મુલાકાતે મારો ઉત્સાહ અનેકગણો વધાર્યો છે.

    ગણતરીના કલાકોમાં જ દેશ - વિદેશથી આપ સહુએ જે પ્રેમવર્ષા કરી છે એ માટે હું આપનો આભારી છું.

    આપે વ્યક્ત કરેલી લાગણીમાં આપ સહુની મારી પાસે ખુબ જ અપેક્ષા વ્યક્ત થાય છે. આપની બધી અપેક્ષાઓને હું યોગ્ય છું કે નહીં એ તો ઇશ્વર જાણે…

    આપ જાણો છો કે હું એક તદ્દન સામાન્ય પરિવારમાંથી આવું છું. મારા કુટુંબને ગઈ સાત પેઢીમાં રાજકારણ કે જાહેર જીવન સાથે કોઇ સ્નાન-સૂતકનો સંબંધ નથી. નાનકડા ગામમાંથી અને નિમ્ન મધ્યમ વર્ગમાંથી હું આવ્યો હોઇ ઉચ્ચ કક્ષાના શિક્ષણનું સૌભાગ્ય પણ પ્રાપ્ત થયું નથી.

    પણ … આ… દરેક જવાબદારી સાચી રીતે અને સારી રીતે નિભાવવા માટે, એક વિદ્યાર્થી તરીકે શીખવાનો સતત પ્રયાસ કરતો રહ્યો છું.જીવનને યોગ્ય રીતે ઘડવા માટે ઘણા બધાં સજ્જનોની મદદ મળતી રહી છે.

    આપ પણ હવે મને મારા ઘડતરમાં મદદરૂપ થશો તેવો પૂરો વિશ્વાસ છે.

    વડીલો પાસેથી આશીર્વાદ, અને મિત્રો પાસેથી શુભેચ્છા મળતી રહે, જેથી ભૂલથી પણ હું કંઈ ખોટું કરી ન બેસું.., કોઈ વ્યક્તિનું, સમાજનું કે દેશનું મારાથી અહિત ન થાય.

    આપનાં પ્રેમ અને લાગણી મારામાં નવી ઉર્જાનો સંચાર કરશે એવી શ્રદ્ધા સાથે.

    સૌનો

    मित्रो,

    ब्लॉग के द्वारा आपके साथ मेरी प्रथम मुलाकात ने मेरा उत्साह कई गुना बढ़ा दिया है.

    कुछ ही घंटों में देश-विदेश से आप सबने जो प्रेमवर्षा की है मैं उसका आभारी हूं.

    आपकी व्यक्त की गई भावनाओं में आप सबकी मुझसे जो अपेक्षाएं हैं वो ज़ाहिर होती है.आपकी सभी अपेक्षाओं के मैं योग्य हूं के नहीं ये तो इश्वर ही जाने.

    आप जानते ही हो के मैं एक सामान्य परिवार से हूं. मेरे परिवार की पिछली सात पुश्तों का राजनीति या जाहेर जीवन से रत्ती भर भी संबंध नहीं है. छोटे से गांव और निम्न मध्यम वर्गीय परिवार से होने के कारण मुझे उच्च कोटि की शिक्षा का सौभाग्य प्राप्त नहीं हुआ था.

    लेकिन… यह… हर एक जिम्मेदारी को सच्चे और अच्छे तरीके से निभाने के लिए, एक विद्यार्थी की तरह सतत प्रयास करता रहा हूं. जीवन को योग्य तरीके से घडने के लिए बहुत सारे सज्जनों की मदद मिलती रही है.

    अब आप भी मेरे घडतर में मददरूप बनेंगे एसा मुझे विश्वास है.

    बुजुर्गों का आशिर्वाद और मित्रों की शुभकामनाऍ मिलती रहे जिस्से भूल से भी मैं कुछ गलत ना कर बेठूं… कोइ व्यक्ति, समाज या देश का मुझसे अहित ना हो.

    आपका प्रेम और आपकी भावनाऍ मुझमें नई उर्जा का संचार करेगी ऍसी श्रद्धा है.

    आप सबका
    Oriya translation of blog is comming soon…

    మిత్రులారా,

    బ్లాగ్ మాధ్యమం ద్వారా మీతో వ్యవహరించడం నన్ను చాలా ఉత్సాహపరిచింది.

    కొద్ది గంటలలోనే భారత్‌నుండి, విదేశాలనుండి ప్రేమను, అభిమానాన్ని కురిపించినందుకు మీకు ధన్యవాదాలర్పిస్తున్నాను.
    మీ నిజమైన, అచ్చమైన భావాలు మీ పట్ల నా బాధ్యతని తెలియజేస్తున్నాయి. మీ నమ్మకానికి నేను అర్హుడినో కానో అన్నది భగవంతునికే
    తెలుసు.

    నేను నిరాడంబరమైన నేపథ్యంనుంచి వచ్చానని మీకందరికీ తెలిసి ఉండవచ్చును. ఏడుతరాల మా వంశంలో రాజకీయాలతో, ప్రజాజీవనంతో సంబంధం శూన్యం. ఒక చిన్న కుగ్రామంనుంచి వచ్చిన, దిగువ మధ్యతరగతికి చెందిన నేను ఉన్నతప్రమాణాలతో కూడని విద్యని పొందే అదృష్టానికి కూడా నోచుకోలేదు.
    అయితే, నిత్యవిద్యార్థిగా నేను ఎల్లప్పుడూ నేర్చుకుంటూనే ఉన్నాను.

    నిజాయితీతో, సమర్ధవంతంగా బాధ్యతలని మోయడానికి ప్రయత్నిస్తున్నాను. చాలామంది సాధుజనులు నా జీవితాన్ని ఉన్నతంగా తీర్చిదిద్దడంలో సహాయపడుతున్నారు. నా జీవితాన్ని ఇంకా చెక్కుకోవడంలో మీ అందరూ సహాయపడతారని మీ మీద నాకు కొండంత నమ్మకం ఉంది.

    నేను అవిశ్రాంతంగా పెద్దలనుండి ఆశీస్సులు, స్నేహితులనుండి శుభాభినందనలు కోరుతూనే ఉంటాను—తప్పటడుగు వేయకుండా ఉండడానికి, అనాలోచితంగనైనా సరే ఎవరికీ, ఏ వ్యక్తికిగాని, సమాజానికిగాని, నా దేశానికిగాని హాని చేయకుండా ఉండడానికి.

    నాకు సంపూర్ణమైన నమ్మకం ఉంది, నామీద కురిపించిన అభిమానం, నమ్మకం తప్పకుండా నన్ను క్రొత్త శక్తితో నింపుతాయని.

    நண்பர்களே

    இந்த பிளாக் எனும் ஊடகம் மூலம் உங்கள் அனைவருடனான எனது முதல் தொடர்பு எனக்கு அளவற்ற ஊக்கத்தை அளித்துள்ளது.

    சில மணி நேரங்களிலேயே இந்தியாவிலிருந்தும் வெளி நாட்டிலிருந்தும் உங்கள் அன்பை பொழிந்தமைக்கும் உங்கள் அனைவருக்கும் நான் நன்றி பாராட்டுகிறேன்.

    உங்கள் வஞ்சகமில்லா நேர்மையான உணர்வுகள் உங்களை குறித்த என்னுடைய பொறுப்புணர்வை வெளிப்படுத்துகிறது. உங்கள் நம்பிக்கைக்கு நான் பத்திரமானவனா அல்லது இல்லையா என்பது இறைவன் மட்டுமே அறிவார்.

    நான் சாதாரண குடும்ப பின்னணியிலிருந்து வந்தவன் என்பது உங்களுக்கு தெரிந்திருக்கலாம். எனது குடும்பம் தனது ஏழு தலைமுறையில் அரசியல் அல்லது அரசியல் வாழ்க்கையுடன் எவ்வித தொடர்பும் அற்றதாகும். நான் சிறிய கிராமத்திலிருந்து வந்தவன். கீழ் நடுத்தர வர்கத்தை சார்ந்தவன். தரமான கல்வி பெற்றிடவும் பேறு பெற்றிருக்கவில்லை.

    ஆனால், வாழ்நாள் மாணவனாக, நான் எப்போதும் கற்றுக்கொள்ள முயன்று கொண்டிருக்கிறேன். உண்மையாகவும் திறமையாகவும் ஒவ்வொரு பொறுப்பையும் ஏற்றுக் கொள்ள முயன்று கொண்டிருக்கிறேன்.

    சிறப்புடன் என்னுடைய வாழ்க்கையை உருவாக்குவதில் பலர் தங்களுடைய பங்களிப்பை அளித்துள்ளனர்.

    என்னுடைய வாழ்க்கையை மேலும் வடிவமைப்பதில் நீங்கள் நிச்சயமாக எனக்கு உதவுவீர்கள் என நான் உங்களிடத்தில் முதன்மையான நம்பிக்கை வைத்துள்ளேன்.

    தவறான காலடியை முன்னோக்கி வைத்து விடக்கூடாது என்பதில், வேண்டுமென்று இல்லாமலும் கூட எவருக்கும் தீங்கு விளைவித்து விடக் கூடாது என்பதில் அது யாராக இருப்பினும் அல்லது எந்த சமூகமாக இருப்பினும் அல்லது என் நாட்டவராய் இருப்பினும் சரி, நான் முதியவர்களிடமிருந்து நல்லாசிகளையும் எனது நண்பர்களிடமிருந்து நல் வாழ்த்துக்களையும் இடையறாது எதிர்பார்க்கிறேன்.

    என் மீது பொழியப்படும் அன்பு வைக்கப்பட்டுள்ள நம்பிக்கை புதிய சக்தியுடன் நிச்சயமாக எனக்கு புத்துயிரூட்டும் என்ற ஆழமான நம்பிக்கை எனக்கு உண்டு.

    मित्रो,

    ब्लॉग के द्वारा आपके साथ मेरी प्रथम मुलाकात ने मेरा उत्साह कई गुना बढ़ा दिया है.

    कुछ ही घंटों में देश-विदेश से आप सबने जो प्रेमवर्षा की है मैं उसका आभारी हूं.

    आपकी व्यक्त की गई भावनाओं में आप सबकी मुझसे जो अपेक्षाएं हैं वो ज़ाहिर होती है.आपकी सभी अपेक्षाओं के मैं योग्य हूं के नहीं ये तो इश्वर ही जाने.

    आप जानते ही हो के मैं एक सामान्य परिवार से हूं. मेरे परिवार की पिछली सात पुश्तों का राजनीति या जाहेर जीवन से रत्ती भर भी संबंध नहीं है. छोटे से गांव और निम्न मध्यम वर्गीय परिवार से होने के कारण मुझे उच्च कोटि की शिक्षा का सौभाग्य प्राप्त नहीं हुआ था.

    लेकिन… यह… हर एक जिम्मेदारी को सच्चे और अच्छे तरीके से निभाने के लिए, एक विद्यार्थी की तरह सतत प्रयास करता रहा हूं. जीवन को योग्य तरीके से घडने के लिए बहुत सारे सज्जनों की मदद मिलती रही है.

    अब आप भी मेरे घडतर में मददरूप बनेंगे एसा मुझे विश्वास है.

    बुजुर्गों का आशिर्वाद और मित्रों की शुभकामनाऍ मिलती रहे जिस्से भूल से भी मैं कुछ गलत ना कर बेठूं… कोइ व्यक्ति, समाज या देश का मुझसे अहित ना हो.

    आपका प्रेम और आपकी भावनाऍ मुझमें नई उर्जा का संचार करेगी ऍसी श्रद्धा है.

    आप सबका

    It became one of my favorite jobs in the day to read your weblog… I like your diaries… your way of thinking.. I like this photo of Auroon top of this page!
    and about Paa… I realy admire you! My sister in Iran couldn’t watch the film but I showed your photos to her. She couldn’t believe it’s you! She said: That’s the reason for being the most famous and best Indian actor! And I, by myslef, realy love your reactions as a teenager in this movie! You r really wonderful…
    With great love and honour!

    Dear Sir,

    Can’t wait to watch Paa recently saw a clip on how the make-up was applied. The indian academy awards are being held in Toronto 2011 will be a great opportunity to attend, just wanted to say thank you for all your efforts behind the scenes in taking Hindi movies to the world stage. I love reading your blog whenever I get the chance I just wish I could write as eloqently ( sorry mis-spelt born in England spelling was never a strong point). I would like to wish you and your loved ones a happy New Year.

  355. Lakshmi Jag says:

    Dear Mr. Bachchan

    I tend to disagree with comment #351…..I have said this before and I say it again, I do not think it is self-idolatry when we share our joy of somebody praising us. I consider it as wanting people, who are considered important, to share the same joy that we experience. It is self idolatry if we praise ourselves and I do not think your blog ever does that. Once again my worthless two cents….better get back to work before I hear complaints

  358. Pankaj Mohan says:

    अमितजी, गुजरात की मेहमाननवाजी स्वीकारने के लिए ढेरों धन्यवाद. समसामयिक भारतीय राजनीति में जिस तरह का पाखंड तथाकथित धर्मनिर्पेक्षता के नाम पर किया गया है, तथा उसमें २००२ की वारदातों का बहाना दे कर जिस तरह राजनीति, समाज एवं मीडिया के एक गुट विशेष ने स्त्रियों की भाँती त्रिया-चरित्र दिखा सारे गुजरात को बदनाम करने का कार्य किया है, उस दृष्टिकोण से आप जैसी एक महत्वपूर्ण फ़िल्मी, सामाजिक एवं रास्ट्रीय हस्ती का बिना विचलित हुए गुजरात की जनता, उसके फिल्म-प्रेमियों तथा उसके इतिहास में अबतक के सर्वाधिक सक्षम मानेजाने वाले नेता श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी से सीधा संवाद करना एक सराहनीय, भला एवं संवेदना से भरपूर कार्य है.

    मैं स्वयं गुजरात में पला-बढ़ा एक उत्तर भारतीय हूँ, जिसने यहां के लोगों को बेहद ही करीब से देखा-परखा है. देखा है उनकी खुले मन से किसी भी भाषा-भाषी भारतीय को स्वीकारने की प्रवित्ति को. नजीजा यह, कि आज मैं स्वयं को गुजरात से जोड़ कर देखता हूँ, नकि अपने जन्मदाता उत्तर-प्रदेश से. इसके पीछे राज ठाकरे सरीखे किसी उपद्रवी राजनेता का दबाव नहीं, अपितु गुजराती मिट्टी तथा उसके नमक का सही मोल चुकाने की एक सहज प्रवृत्ति है. गुजरातियों में उत्तर-भारत तथा हिंदी के प्रति जिस खुलेपन को मैंने देखा है, वह शायद किसी दूसरे गैर-हिंदी भाषी राज्य में देखने को न मिले. लेकिन आज भी ऐसे उत्तर-भारतीय मुझे यहाँ मिल जाया करते हैं, जो गुजरात में कमाए अपने धन एवं सुख-शान्ति से भरे जीवन के अनेक वर्षों को भूल, यहाँ की भाषा एवं वाणी-व्यवहार का उपहास करते मिलेंगे. क्षोभ होता है, ऐसी कुटिल मानसिकता को देख-परख कर.

    और वही हिन्दी-प्रेमी गुजरात आपके प्रशंषकों से आज भी उतनी ही भरपूर है, जितना ७० एवं ८० के समयकाल में हुआ करता था. भला हो, जो आपने इस उलझे देश की उलझी हुई राजनीति को दरकिनार कर अपने गुजरात में बसने वाले प्रशंषकों के चुने नेता से सीधा संवाद करना उचित समझा. आपको पुनः कोटि-कोटि धन्यवाद!

    साथ ही, मीडिया द्वारा उधृत उस खबर को मैं दोहराना चाहूँगा, जिसमें आपने गुजरात में किसी फिल्म-सिटी के निर्माण की इच्छा उजागर की है. अमितजी, कृपया अपनी इस पहल को और आगे तक ले जाएँ. गुजरात में वह सारी खूबियाँ हैं, जो राज ठाकरे के चलते मुंबई में अब ओझिल होती जान पड़ती हैं. हिंदी फिल्म-उद्योग के लिए मुंबई के बाहर पग फैलाने का वक्त अब आ गया जान पड़ता है, तथा गुजरात से और अधिक बेहतर भूमि इसके लिए आपको कहाँ मिलेगी.

    I am a journalist with Divya Bhaskar n DNA in Ahmedabad. It was nice of you to carry ‘Divya Bhaskar’ copy that had your picture clicked at the airport and other details. I would like to inform you that we have some great pictures of your visit. We would like to send them to you. We can e mail them to you but will need your e mail ID for the same. My photographer Piyush Patel has clicked not less than 400 picturs and he is a excellent lenceman. No worries about the number we shall scrutinize the best and send them to you. I have put my e mail and shall be waiting for a response from your side. I am sure some of them you would like to put even in your blog as your memories of Gujarat visit.

    Mr Bachchan…I am a silent reader of your blog for many days now. I am a huge fan of yours as is my dad whose 70 years of age. He admires just two people in Hindi film industry Dilip Sahab and you. Today I am deeply hurt by you praising “Hitler of India” Narender Modi. I could not believe that a man of your caliber and stature can even think of doing it. The reason being “tax exemption”. I have heard of many people falling below their dignity for money but not you. Never ever in my wildest dreams.

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,

    How are you doing today? I have been a fan since when I was 5 yrs…Infact the first movie I was allowed to watch was “Namakhalal”… and i remember it clearly cuz you made a lifelasting impression on me.

    I have since watched practically all of your movies from “Anand” to “Paa” and I cannot even begin to describe your genius. I have had the opportunity to see/meet a lot many Bollywood actors and actresses like Jackie Shroff, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Akshay Khanna, Chandrachur Singh, Jimmy Shergill, Vidya Balan etc etc etc… But I was never awed enough to want to speak to them or get an autograph. NOt that Im saying they arnt good actors, but for me the God of acting is perhaps you and none could match the image of you that I have in my mind and that you prove with each movie that you release.

    Recently, I saw a program on Indian Telly which is being hosted by Karan Johar in which he has people vying to be the biggest fans of bollywood actors and in disguise a very needy family in India and I vowed to myself that I would send you a request cuz I really want to help but no other actor in the whole world would get me selling juice for them except you. So please could you go on that program and help me do one good deed for my countrymen.

    Thanks,
    An Adoring fan :)

    My dearest Mr Bachchan,

    Being accurate just sometimes, is so delectably satisfying… I’ve just seen a lovely photograph of you with the chief minister in Gujarat as he is addressing you on stage and the expression of humility and timidity you exhibit is exactly as I’d envisaged in my comment last night! There was no table present in that shot, but you appear to be looking at the ground to open and swallow you up…most endearing and cutesey! Its all there for the world to see, the camera never lies.

    While I remember, one thing I keep forgetting to remind you about is the possibility of selling some of those new Madhushala books in Paris in June. I’ve scoured many a web site to no avail – alternatively if you know where we can buy a copy please, please enlighten us!

    And you have tantalized me into submission with talk of ‘3 Idiots’ so I’m going to watch it after work, now. You know you can expect an unbiased, candid opinion from moi on my return!

    Hoping the various activities for you day worked to perfection. You must have completed for the day no doubt exhausted after the travel too… please try to enjoy some rest time if possible..

    My love entirely,

    Jasmine

    Sir,

    People get carried away by the glitz and glamour of the film world and fail to notice the labour behind. The very fact that you were awake in the wee hours of the day to write your blog speaks volumes for the hard work a person of your age is putting in. But please do take care of your health sir. Your family needs you more than your fans. Regards and good wishes for your health.

  378. commonsense says:

    Dear Ms Jag @ comment 361
    With all due respects to you ma’am, is there a significant difference between repeating such lavish praise heaped on one by big names and simply praising oneself without attributing it to another? And all this on a public blog! It is embarrassing. Because Amitji is too senior in age, stature & talent to sound so grateful for the crumbs from their table.
    I have always found you an intelligent and cultured lady, your opinions are grounded, please do not underestimate yourself by calling your opinion worth two cents.

    Dearest Super superman

    Gujrat is an ultimate destination
    Nice to know about Mr.Modi. His thoughts on an actor are remarkable
    And it is great to know that you have had a wonderful time there.
    Appreciate the feelings of Shahrukh, Boman and Mr Raju Hirani
    Sharman, without any doubt is an exceptionally talented actor, i became his fan after RDB

    I am a fan of Shahrukh too, but if i am to give an honest feedback about him then with all due appreciations and respect to his great talent , i have to say even after his long time in the film industry , he still has to be more mature. Sometime he acts like he has been forgotten and he has to do or say something stupid to stay in the news. I honestly didn’t like what he said about what happened on the US airport sometime ago and then changed. And recently on a book inauguration with Mr Anidham Chaudhary , whatever he said was pathetic.
    He needs more of your company to learn right etiquette.ha ha ha..

    You were awake till very late, please take good good care of yourself

    Lots of love
    Raman

    I spent the morning watching ‘Amar Prem’ and of course cried at the end. I see Rajesh Khanna was also Anand here. He and Sharmila Tagore were superb. A great film dealing with the theme of motherhood about which you write often. I am just curious why a male voice was used to sing about becoming a widow.

    It’s off to the ‘keyboarding level 2′ workshop and as always will bring my laptop to check afterwards. I’m looking forward to reading how the promotions went. Not long ago you called yourself unemployed. I think that ‘problem’ has been wiped out.

    The very purpose of this Blog is defeated when we get personal and pass comments about personal life,dealings and decisions of Amitabh Bachchan. It is none of our business to advise Amitabhji what is right or what is wrong for him.Everyone has every right to take his or her own decisions in life.
    There is absolutely nothing wrong if Amitabhji has consented to become a Brand Ambassador for state of Gujarat.Gujarat is one of the states of India. If someone willingly contributes to development of any region of our country it should be appreciated.
    Go ahead Amitabhji and take your own decisions in life.

    All intelligent ppl leave this blog or at least, are no longer hooked to it like earlier. Wha’s the reason for this disenchantment?

    Okay - After trying for last three days and comments are not making to the Blog,
    I requested my wife to post comment from her office - comment# 390. I think lot of people are having same issues of comments are being disappeared after posting it. I have been using IE which was recently had updated Java plug-in. I think that is contributing this problem.

    So my smart wife (Whose wife is not smart? BTW -:)) found it out. I am using Firefox to post my comment.

  393. Lakshmi Jag says:

    Dear Commonsense (it sounds funny addressing ‘commonsense’ as dear) but the dear is for the person behind the name.

    I do think there is a difference between praising oneself and mentioning the compliments paid by another. I see the emotion behind the words rather than the words, probably I am more sensitive to this as I sometimes brag to my friends and family about compliments I have received and I always see it as sharing my happiness and not necessarily the compliments. If you look back I am sure you will find one such incidence that you shared with your family, may be a compliment from your teacher, a good grade etc.
    Thank you for the compliment….in life I have been hurt too often by derogatory comments on my appearance and I take extra effort to make my criticisms as painless as possible. I do not claim I am successful at all times but I do try. Once again thank you for reading my comment

    I liked the way you have appreciated Narendra Modi, Sharman Joshi and Rajkumar Hirani and Shahrukh Khan. 3 Idiots is an awesome film and it actually tells the filmmakers around that your joub is not to entertain the audience but to give them a message on various problems in the society.
    I will ask you this question even if you will not reply, ” Where do you get all your energy from? Great boss keep it up.”
    Any plans of comming to Jaipur I mean Joypur

    Dear Lakshni, your words moved me. I guess genuine humility is so rare, one is overwhelmed by it at once. I am not humble but your words humbled me, made me pause to reflect. I think that you are beautiful and that it is an insult to the creator to find flaws in his artistry. Our yardstick of beauty is manipulated by the cosmetic industry. God bless & sorry if I have ever dashed off anything to cause even the slightest annoyance to you. Kaan pakadta hoon.

    A blog is part of a site.
    A site is a commercial public domain.
    Its purpose is to get as many hits ie comments whether through controversy or a feeling of brotherhood, a kind of club, whatever.
    Time & again, this has been hammered home. Live & let live. And while you’re at it, pin that to Modi’s kurta too.

    Hello,

    I had a small question to ask you. Which is your second movie to released??? Is it Parwana or Anand. I have a bet going on with a friend of mine, i would not have bothered with you this but just could not find the answer for it anywhere else. Please help us resolve this issue.

    If you have time please mail me the answer, my mail address is preks.rai@gmail.com. I promise not to reply you or bother you further.

    Just a thought..Gautam Buddha is not a buddhist saint..buddhism came much after him. It would not be appropriate to label him as buddhist saint. He never called himself buddhist.
    Apart from that..rajdeep sardesai is just a opportunist..he himself is the anchor of paid media. just my views..
    I wonder how u manage so much stuff..your brain is supercomputer.

    Sir, It was nice to read that you have marked that banner near bridge about clean and green Gandhinagar and even point it out here. Its nice place to be live if you like peace. I hope that if you are planing for film city(as it was media report) it would be in Gandhinagr so we can have another reason to be proud of.

    Dear SIR,
    Asalam Alaikum:
    Hope you are in perfect health.
    You are extremely famous here in Pakistan. Viewers just can’t let your films go, they love you from the bottom of their hearts. You must visit Pakistan.
    I assure you that you shall be recieved here warm heartedly. People are dying to get a glimps of you here. Plus it will be a good sign for PAK-INDIA relationship. Whats done in the past, should remain there. We could not change it. But now, i believe, broken hearts must be re-united. We should unite as one, so that no superpower can pressurize us. I am not saying this when we are in trouble, just saying it when a family member gets lost or separated, one day he returns. And this is the time. Not saying ths when you have reached a stage of self-actualsation, but only you, as a famous figure, can change the system. Recently, we heard that you wish to come here, i can’t tell you how pleased we are after hearing this.
    You have yet again surprized us with your new film PAA. AURO has become part of us. Waiting to see you in yet again a brilliant role along with SHAHRUKH khan.
    Lots to talk about, but enough for now. (apna khyaal rakhiye ga).

    The race has begun for me to catch up with all these people who are in so much of love with you, 1 more added.
    Paa, has silenced any critics left in India or anywhere in the world of yours, to put in simple words, thats all.

    Lots of love and admiration towards you

  420. Jayanth says:

    Hmmm, I would guess the film Raju Hirani is talking about is Alaap. Very Emotional one that. Even now when i see few scenes i get a lump in my throat.

    Frankly speaking sir, in my opinion, you have given the best/excellent (i cannot find a suitable adjective here) performances in all of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s films. And so as Dharmji and Haribhai. Still i really wonder when you made the statement few years ago that Black was you best performance till date !! As one who has a very high opinion of your talent, character and especially judgment (I still cannot qualify to be called an ardent fan of yours unlike most of the other ladies and gentleman in this world), I have to in all earnest, 1) STRONGLY disagree with you and 2) ask you why you really feel so? Maybe I assume the effort and the preparation you had put in for the character would have been much more than the ones you had done till now.

    Knowing time to be an eternal deceiver, which can never be trusted, I have to convey few of my thoughts to you while i possibly can:
    1) I noticed sir that you ALWAYS have something good to say and nothing derogatory about everyone !! Your choice of words are excellent !! (To the extent that you cleverly described a movie like Pokkiri as Sensational !! :) I keep reading your entries in your blogs as i keep trying to learn that art, something which i really want to thank you for.
    2) Jesus Christ your English at times, is just too extremely convoluted and intimidating !! I have to read a paragraph more than n times to understand its profoundness !! Though i should apologize i have at times been guilty of skipping some sections of your blog entries, simply because my cognizance of English language and grammar was just not qualified enough to understand a word what you said !!

    I sincerely wish your family and you the very best of health, wealth and happiness. It is really gratifying to see Amitabh Bachhan, at this age, to Keep on Keeping on.

    An Admirer,
    Jayanth

    Your blog I started reading only recently. The way you write it is like reading a good novel so absorbing and enjoyable. Perhaps thats the Big-B difference. I have not seen paa, but my daughter saw it and says ‘don’t miss it’. Your account of Narendra Modi is cent percent true. Since you are not in politics not to worry what others make out of it. Pray you continued success in 2010 and years to come. “Saal Mubharak”.

And, now, the one and only one The Great Hero shining in the Indian Sky is our Dear and Respected Narendra Modi.

    I am living in japan.I am gujarati :) I am huge fan of you. I like PAA movie too much. it is really touching movie. even I also got imotional when watching movie. I heard that you are going to make PAA 2 is it right? waiting for good movie from you.

    I read your blog about gujarat and your willingness to support to gujarat. Thank you very much
    Thanks,

    Dear Amitabhji,

    Two great people together, Mr Amitabh and Mr Modi, indeed a fabulous feelings for me.
    I was fan of you but become die hard fan after your seeing well wishes towards Gujarat.
    You provide pinnacle of excellence in Cinema and Mr Modi does the same in Administration of Gujarat. Keep doing this.

    Thanks,
    Gaurnag,

  429. Akram says:

    Dear Amitabh, there is more to life than money, fame and power (I know you understand that). Maybe you have your reasons for endorsing a person who committed genocide, but it is difficult for me to see it and as a die hard fan of yours I felt let down in some way. Though the movie was good.




  430. Dinesh says:

    Few days back you mentioned that the producers laughing all the way to the bank by the collection made by Paa. It is uprising that there is no real collective effort made by the Indian Film Industry on Piracy. With in a week release of Paa one could get the DVD in any grocery shop in the US. Why is it then that no real efforts are made to curb this. There should be a collective effort and one should come down hard on pirated DVD being sold. The real people are these piracy people who are laughing all the way to the bank and not the producers. I am sure you must have realized that you have lost so much to piracy.




  431. Imran says:

    Dear Sir,
    I am highly disappointed with this blog of yours. I want to admit that I sincerely loved your little forgotten movie Dev. I remember it had the tag line, “Amitabh Bachhan is Dev”, and not as “Amitabh Bachhan in and as Dev”. I was highly impressed with that. What surprises me the most that what you stood for in that movie simply seems to have gone to the dogs. Do actors not hold a responsibilty for standing for the goodness of the characters that they play in their movies? Like you played a 12 yr old kid with some rare disorder in Paa, and next I see you ridiculing someone with that disease, I would be completely shocked. I hope you realize that you have done exactly the same. I am not much of a political guy and looking forward to seeing you in Rann.




  432. Subhanil says:

    Dear Mr. Bachhan,

    i have always been a big fan of yours like millions of people around the world. in fact, i can say that you are one of the icons of modern india.

    but i am deeply distressed and depressed by you showering accolades on Mr. Narendra Modi. Have you forgotten or refuse to accept that he, at best, fiddled when hundreds of muslims were butchered to death in gujarat? have you forgotten that he justified the massacre in the name of newton’s third law after the most condemnable godhra carnage? why such accolades on a political personality who is detested by a large section of people in India? why accolades for a man whose very vision is against a pluralist and secular india which you and your father deeply believed in?

    Dear Bachan,

    my love for you makes me speak these words. but i can say that you have hurt a lot of sensibilities by your unrestrained praise for a rabidly communal man.

    regards and best wishes…




  433. Poojan Majmudar says:

    Dear Boss,

    to admire your everything in PAA, I feel short of words.You have maximum times provided best and fabulous performances during all these years and still in your interactions and interviews,you keep saying that your best is yet to come,that is your Everestly greatness. I dont need to say that I am your true admirer and things like that,coz whoever is Indian,speaks Hindi or any other dilect is your admirer,you know that.

    Your visit to my Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, was required as now PAA is taxfree in Gujarat,and will be able to reach to large audiences with ease. Mr.Modi is a thorough proffessional and a great leader who want to take Gujarat to global heights and it is admirable that you want to join hands with him to help reach Gujarat on top.We are ready to welcome you on our motherland frequently for this cause and Gujaratis will remember you for this.

    Anxiously waiting for Rann and Teen Patti,wish you grand success for these two and many more to follow.

    Amit ji… I would deem it to be a great favor, if you please drop by my site at least once in your life time. I would love to paint you and show it to you once it is finished. Will upload it on my site.

  437. Khozema Kazi says:

    There has been for&against comments from your reader on your bowing before Modi.
    It would have been appropriate had you applauded Gujarat & its people thru some other platform. But your cajoling with Modi has not gone down with well with a section of your admirers.
    You have lost one today, me.
    Does it matter to you? No, I believe.
    Modi is an opportunist, who has the ability to make a person of your intellect succumed. Did you do this for short term gain? Maybe.
    Modi will be always remembered for being in charge of Gujrat during its worst pogrom, same as Narsimha Rao is for his silent role during Babri demolision. And unfortunately, now that you have endorsed him, you too cannot separate your name from the list of his approver of policies.
    You can still redeem the lost ground, if you come clean saying that your endorsement is for Gujarat and its people and that you disassociate yourself with its government’s covert communal policies.




  438. Deepak Amarnani says:

    Respected Amitabhji(Sir),

    Your Auro is truly the one of the finest roles played and R.Balkiji was correct no one cud have played this role very well as u have done. Sir We came to know that u wud be Gujarat’s Brand Ambassador and everyone knows that amitabhiji helps those who really need it. I am hereby requesting you sir to please kindly hear my plea/request made on behalf of the farmers of Patan District of Gujarat State. These Farmers are one of the Greatest Assets of our nation. They have been suffering since no proper rain has been there over there place since past 3 years. Due to this their childrens are forced to leave their studies and work so that they can meet their basic needs. Sir a humble request from them please help them by showing giving them the proper benefits of Irrigation facilities or other help of any sort so as to enable them to make sure their land produces any of the commodity which in turn will help the nation.

    Sir we all know that you are the Genius Shahenshah who only with his initiative will bring the way to help all the farmers.

    Thank you Sir

    Hi Amit ( sorry not address as ji or sir because this is the impression i carry after watching your latest stupendous performance in paa, as you always do.)

    I really saw you through out the film as a boy and I still carry that. I have heard so many things about you like super star of India etc. but to be honest you are a great actor. After Paa i really changed my openion. I must admit that your have the persona of an actor but now you have proved yourself a realistic one.

    After being a great actor and personality you are a great individual too.
    Thank you for entertaining us. And all the very best for your future projects.

    respected amitabh sir

    you are really humble that you spared time for a cricketer who is not in contention right now.

    in recent past team India became no.1 test team, bcci declared a price money of 50 lakhs to each cricketer who was played that match. my question is attaining no.1 spot is n a one night journey??? not at all it took 77 years many many great cricketer came, many many came and just went away like a breeze but they all contributed a bit.
    the who played for India in 50’s, 60’s & 70’s dont have money even for medical treatment…… :(
    bcci should step in there should help these cricketers

    It was sooooooooooooooo……. natural that I wish even at yr 140th Birthday as well you keep acting like these…awesome…. no words 4 it…

    Just Fantabulous!!!!!

    This is your life’s gr8est achievement… Your humor… Your voice…. just mind blowing…. Long Live……AURO… :)

    Now little bit about my Garvi Gujarat. We gujjus are really very sweet people as we add sugar in everything. We are with pure & open heart & welcome everyone very easily. We are always ready to help others but you know what, we really need someone’s help to gain self confident. When you go to Gujarat you can find IAS from Bihar, Rajasthan, UP, MP, South but just couple of them are Gujarati. You know WHY? From childhood we learn to do business or learn to become doctor or engineer. We can’t see beyond that. We don’t have competitive exams. To learn to give exam we’ve to go to Kota or Delhi. We lack confidence in speaking English and that’s the major key for competition in all fields. We are famous for our English & you Bollywood people better know about this fact as in all Hindi movies everyone can recognise gujarati character by the way of speaking English. Isn’t it? You can see all around the world most of the Indians are from Gujarat working hard. Even they are capable then also they can’t get good white collar job just because of smartness of speaking.

    If you really want to help Gujarat, help kids, students in educating them in current professional way to make them smarter in all the ways. That can change their life forever & that will be the gr8 progress of Gujarat.

    I don’t know you ever read all the reply or not but if you read it and you really want to do something this is it.

    Once again hats off 2 u  :)

    It was a pleasant surprise to see you warming up relations with Modiji. It is about time that great Indian personalities as yourself endorse this great leader of India and help make him the next PM. He is the only bright hope among the other corrupt, pseudo-secular and hypocritical leaders.
    Some negative comments here are downright ridiculous in perpetually blaming the Godhra riots on Modi. It is time that Indians move out of the limitied communal mindset and recognize that this great person has accomplished what no one else has in modern India. Gujarat has become something totally different from the rest of India. Even non-Gujaratis including myself are considering moving to that state because of the infrastructure and relatively good law and order. If this great person Modi becomes the PM, it would be a shining day for India. Please make it happen!!

    Mr Bacchan till i read the unsruplus flattery by you in the praise of mr Modi i had immense respect for you.But you proved me wrong,you praised that man who slaughtered thousands of my brothers who were muslims and above everything Indians.i am ashamed that a person of you stature should do this and more as such a person is an Indian.

    There is evidently a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points. Keep up the good work, outstanding site!

    “…the historic Dwarka Nagari that lies submerged under the sea and is a subject of discovery and research, where architecture and monuments and complete palaces lie buried underneath..” - I just felt like elaborating on your reference to Dwarka. It was in 1983 that the remains of this vast 9,500 year old city were discovered as submerged ruins with intact architecture and even human remains. The find predates all finds in the area by over 5,000 years forcing historians to reevaluate their understanding of the history of civilization in the region. Dwarka, or the ‘Golden City’ is an ancient city-in-the sea that had the Hindu god Krishna as the resident patron.
