DAY 688

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

Posted on: March 11, 2010 - 12:28 am


OBLIVIOUS TO THE WORLD, OBLIVIOUS TO LIFE, OBLIVIOUS TO THE SELF - AN UNCERTAIN NON EXISTENT UNIVERSE

It is March in the 10th day, of a year that bears the digits of 2010     in a time of uncertainty between 8 of the PM and 9:25 of the PM too..

Silence and its ubiquitous influence, often envelops beings with nothingness, solitude and the fear of being singled out for an often misjudged and unguided persecution.

Silence has often been described by those with wisdom to be ephemeral, possessing  a life cycle that is short, though their prescriptions do educate quite the other. Its golden qualities exhibiting a strange possessiveness.

Silence admits guilt and several unexplained dividends, which at times chase past you in restrained maturity.

Silence builds character in proportions many seem unnecessary.

Silence is devoid of argument and response and is therefore unique in its one sided overbearing presence.

Silence is the impregnable fortress that defends and protects the purity of innocence, the moat, whose waters, purified by the inhabitants of truthful on one, deflate the unjustified attacks of the untruthful adversary on the other.

Silence is the glass contained vacuum that provides visibility of the perpetrator, but diminishes his presence and act, in gravity free weightless, random, unconnected movement.

Silence is the voice of illiteracy ; when you possess no knowledge or language or voice, when you possess no mind or thought or opinion. When you quite simply, just do not know. And are not educated nor qualified with the guiles of response.

Silence speaks within ; all else without.

Silence could well be provocative. At times disarming the provocateur - an agent provocateur !

Silence endorses conservation - it clamps the doors that would open to the release of human energy.


Eleven is in order. Eleven is auspicious. Eleven references. Eleven aspects.

Eleven silences above. I counted them after I had stopped .. and they were eleven ! Strange that I should say this, but I did. Strange that I should write about it or think or contemplate, but I did. Strange that I should construct eleven of them, but I did. Strange that I should share them with you, but I do.

I was born in 1942. A time in the life of my country that was in the throes of a struggle that would write history. A history of defiance and right, of freedom and independence, of democratic norms and equality, of getting rid of dependence of foreign rule, of being liberal and self expressive and having the authority to be able to express it. I wish at times to have been born earlier. To have been matured in the time of our struggle, to have had the honor and the pride in being a part of this fight. Somewhere also has been the hidden desire to have been born at the time of the world war II, to have partaken in the resolute fight against the fascist terror, to have seen first hand its defeat and the ultimate victory against it.

Many thinkers and analysts, people with the ability to see and foresee have often decried the state of the nation. Of all that has been wrong, of all that needs to be done, of expectation and dreams, of a democracy that was built to be an example for the world, of our failures and obstacles that keep recurring again and again. And many that come out with solutions or semblances for solutions lament the fact that the nation has lost the one factor so prominent at the time of its search for independence - a goal to fight for.

They say in many different ways, the need for us to have a goal to aspire for. The predominant spirit of leveraging our struggle to reach a destination has now vanished. There is nothing they say that can be even remotely construed as an effort to be somewhere. And so in this condition the ‘fight’ and ’spirit’ is missing. What is it really that we must do to get that fight back. To build that spirit back.

And the silence that prevails after this is questioned is deafening.

For there is no one to take the initiative. No one to spell out the plan. No one to motivate us into action. No one to look upon collective gain.

There is desire. There is motivation. There is a plan. But all of it is directed towards the individual. What is in it for me. Where do I come in. When do I get it.

Its never us or we or ours. Its always I me myself and mine.

Yet the irony or shall we say the sad dichotomy of all such philosophy gets defeated, when we go down in history and assemble case studies of some of the most historic events that changed geography and times.

And you shall find that the initiator of all such moments was …

…an individual !!

Whether a Gandhi or a Hitler !!

Many observations were made by some enlightened respondents on the blog on the issue of ‘removing the demons within’. Good and evil coexist within us. You needn’t go out searching for them. Look within and we shall find them. Deal with them first before delivering that first sermon. Overcome that before you get overcome d.

This state of being oblivious to the world, to life, to all around us may seem a most selfish desire. But do we not conduct ourselves often with similar trait.

What’s in it for me ?? Yaa … what’s in it for me as write this DAY … a record breaking 900 responses ??

Keep dreaming brother B … remain within yourself … and within your own estimation …

My love … without any estimation whatsoever

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
    - Priya

  16. Devkishin Vyas,Mumbai says:

    silence means you are deaf and dumb
    silence is golden
    silence follows explosion
    silence is an ornament of wise
    silence is always intriguing
    silence ends when you arrive in this world
    silence invents new methods of flirtation
    silence speaks volumes when you look into her eyes
    silence is sinful
    silence conveys consent

  20. Sonu says:

    Hello Mr Bachchan,

    Its really a pleasure to read your post as there are so many things and most of which forces an individual to think about the many aspects which they would have never imagined or thought, like in today’s post it was about SILENCE.

    I have been reading your post for many months and the comments as well and it is really good to see the yellow lines for many which had vanished for some time in between is back.

    Please do take care of yourself as there are many people who care for u more than they do for themselves. We really love u a lot and have lots n lots of respect for you.

    With lots of Love..
    Sonu.

  24. Sachin Jain (Houston US) says:

    Hello Amitji, I have been reading your blog off and on and am really impressed by your sincerity and honesty. I guess after our Bapu it is you who are most sincere in things you do with Honesty. The same trait I saw when you spent your time to get out of mess from Bofors.
    Lately , I am seeing you spending quite some time to let media know about the false allegation and news they have been publishing against you and your family. We , your Fan Family are always with you whether you give justification or not. It has been 40 years and I guess that is enough for anyone to know a Guy. I would rather wish you to be more creative and ignore the so called MEDIA MASALA. May be replying few Die Hard Fan rather then replying media because they are getting attention from you.
    Thanks a lot

    PS. I will repost this if by chance you miss to read.




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

    Hi Amitji,

    I am glad you are back safely in the comforts of your home.

    Silence is exactly what I felt when I had a call from my cousin in the early morning today to tell me that my Mohan Kaka (my late father’s younger brother, aged 77) had a heart attack on 6th March in Jam Khambhalia, Gujarat. I could not utter words for a couple of seconds while the shock set in. Then my cousin said he was under treatment, which relieved some of the fear that the worst may have happened. I always fear an early morning call from India as I always know it is not going to be good news. When my wife gave the phone to me, my heart was already pumping fast.

    My uncle was not able to talk to me but I hope in a couple of days I can have a chat. He has already given up and does not want to be treated, I hope the doctors can change his mind. He will need thorough checks done in a big city like Ahmedabad.

    I pray he can fight the heart trouble off and recover and give him strength and the will to carry on.

    Take care and see you soon in London.

    Regards to my EF friends as usual.

    Naresh

    I just lost my post by hitting the wrong button-sounds familiar?

    I am sitting outside in Tribeca after handing out vegan literature, so I am fighting for the animals.

    I was born on 11/11, so I always joke that 11 is my lucky number although I don’t believev in such things as auspicious numbers. Thank you for listing the 11 silences.

    I would not want to be a part of such death and destruction of any world war even if it would give me something to fight for. I would hope that people could find a cause that can be attained without so much violence.

    I hope you are certain about where you are at least .
    I will read this post later once again because there is much to think about.

    Love,
    Rochelle




  27. bharati sharma (millie) says:

    Dearest Amit ji

    Namaskar!!!

    Are you in the midst of some meditation or a trans or in the midst of some serious retrospection?

    Very deep rooted thoughts from a brilliant scholar and intellectual. As usual i am lost in deep thinking after reading your thoughts………..The different ways in which you have explained silence is absolutely wonderful.

    Well it definitely needs a very strong individual to ignite the initial spark before it turns into a revolution.

    As an ordinary person from what i have seen and read i definitely feel that there is a silent revolution which is already happening within the country with maximum number of young population. As you have rightly said, There is desire. There is motivation. There is a plan. The only thing they need is someone to direct them as an individual.

    I am an eternally optimistic person and i am sure the day is not far, it is probably going to happen sooner or later.

    I truly and absolute delighted with today’s reading and can go to bed in SILENCE.

    Love you

    Sonia Gandhi with her master stroke –the trouble makers were virtually thrown out of Rajya Sabha by Marshals –succeeded in getting the Reservation bill passed with support of NDA and the Left parties.
    Soniaji proved that in politics there are no permanent friend or enemies.
    Sonia Gandhi ’s fight for women’s greater representation in Parliament must be applauded by everyone barring two jokers–Laloo Prasad and Mulayam.

  40. Pradip Shah says:

    Dear AB,
    Even if I changed the world will still be the same is off repeated excuse. U have rightly pointed that Hitler and Gandhi were single entity and still affected world’s consciousness. We are the world and its not separate from us.
    Don’t U think instead of wishing earlier birth, it would be much desirable to wish absence of all wars. When we are talking about ‘If’ then why not to go for the best and noblest scenario!!!




  41. Devkishin Vyas,Mumbai says:

    Surprisingly you have not mentioned your location on top of your post.
    Have you deplaned at Mumbai or spending some more time in aircraft!




  42. Satyam says:

    I commend your sentiments with respect to the political histories you’ve highlighted here. But I sometimes wonder if we do not forget the causes worth fighting for that unfold before us every single day in this pursuit of a romantic history. ‘Romantic’ because history is more often than not presented to us as a neat or fluid narrative with little sense of its ‘rabbit starts’ or its more Sisyphean aspects. We know the ‘end’ of these stories and we insert ourselves into them. In the present however there is no such luxury. Which is why there is risk. We are required to struggle for positions and in ‘debates’ whose ultimate outcomes we do not or cannot know. Even if we finally ‘win’ we rarely know this with any degree of certainty when we are ‘in the mix’.

    On the other hand are these not the most glorious fights? Because these can be fought more on principle or more for the ‘idea’ without the victory/loss calculus being overriding.

    And we look for leaders.. why are we not leaders ourselves? It is true that not everyone can be such. We have different talents in life and ‘leadership’ might not always be part of the genetic makeup! And yet if no one will identify the ‘good cause’ and be the sort of leader we can follow isn’t it incumbent on us to find an alternate path? Or do we go through life wanting to do good, wishing for the right leader, and not having the latter ultimately refusing to do good?

    Lovely evening…
    Thank you for tonight’s and yesterday’s very interesting posts… hope you enjoy the book you’ve been reading.. history books are my favorite.. especially those which are written in a very interesting, those which when you start reading them you don’t leave until you finish.
    Hope that you had reached home safely and you are not suffering from jet lag.. ( no indication about location but it is predicted… or i think so !! )

    From yesterday’s blog… “The magnificence of creativity, the beauty of imagination and the perseverance of execution. “.. what a wonderful phrase… bringing imagination to reality.. and hey… your brilliant creativity is unmatchable my dear.. and those who ask you to retire are either jealous of your achievements.. or really concern about your precious health… if they fall in the second category, so they must know that work is the passion of your life.. of course being busy all the time, shooting, travelling, doing interviews and press conferences.. etc. if that would effect your precious health negatively, so slowing down is not a bad idea at all… but retirement..???? never please.. you are the only one who decides when .. but since there is a lot to be brought out.. please ignore such advices… and let your outstanding and extra ordinary talent glows.. do whatever you like whenever you like and be always sure that we are supporting you in whatever you decide.. and allow us to show you our care and concern when we feel that you are exhausted.. okay… ? deal..?

    Another gulf country is honored with your visit.. lucky Oman.

    Silence… with all respect my dear… may you kindly allow me to disagree with few of the 11 silences… silence for me is death.. it is scary .. imagine a word could be spelled to save one’s life but the sayer preferred silence.. imagine a lost in life’s maze, what would a word of wisdom do to show him the right path.. imagine what would a word of encouragement or support does to someone who hasn’t faith in himself .. imagine a word of love and warmth would do to someone who is alone in this life .. silence wouldn’t help in such cases… i am so sorry to say this.. but i fear silence.. i prefer to hear your voice to feel comfort and relaxed.

    I also sometimes had wished to leave in another era.. sometimes my imagination leads me to different periods, i feel like a time passenger, and imagine myself once in the time of the prophet and live the experience of those who had been tortured for embracing their faith, but i think after a slap and a kick .. i would say whatever those who torture the believers ask me to say.. sometimes i am in the time of the great Pharohs.. especially king Tutmosis 3rd, who had established the first known intelligence system, or sometimes i imagine myself a farmer who mislead the roman soldiers in order not to find the crypt where the holly family were hiding when they visited Egypt.. sometimes i imagine myself one of the gods in the ancient mythology.. my favorite is ” Maaette ‘ the goddess of peace and harmony of universe, the Pharohs used to swear with her name to rule the blessed land with her absolute justice… sometimes i feel that i am now living in one of my fancy worlds.. and someone will wake me up soon… saying.. ” hey… your dream is over… try another one.. “..

    Well.. Have a very good night.. peaceful sleep and the sweetest dreams ever.. love.. love.. love.

    Dear Mr Bachchan

    I would joyfully write you 900 comments all by myself, but fear you - not to mention the rest of FmXt - would then be forced to silence me forever :)

    I am totally incapable of addressing the Great Questions tonight, so humbly beg to address the trivial.

    Last night your description of in-flight comforts had us all craving hot chocolate and cookies… desperately. Why, I am still thinking of you eating them 24 hours later.

    So why not encourage your FmXt down the path of health and righteousness. If you were to write… “Tonight I quaff a piquant goblet of carrot and beetroot juice, tenderly admiring the mango pink glow of the juice… and then graze elegantly on a fronded bed of spinach salad…”

    Lo! Suddenly we would all suddenly crave health foods as never before!! :)

    With love from your humble herbivore Daisy

    my dear Amitabh Bachchan..
    how lovely are your thoughts about Silence…..it can often speak for ambaressment,stress ,being alone with your own….many things…
    thank you for sharing your thoughts with us…as allways..they are beutifull to read..
    i just loved what you said about wanting to be born in an earlier time…to fight proudly for your country…
    i agree with you when you say that every one needs a goal to fight for …but after that comes the win and than you again dont have what to fight for…there are many countries that dont have to fight for any thing but they live good life without any one bothering them…yes i agree that when you fight for your country you value it more…you are proud of it…and of the ppl who live in it…..
    you should allways think how proud you are at your country and your country ppl and how much you love where you are…
    and that is your spirit..that is your goal..to keep your country safe allways…
    yes…we all should think about US..and not about ME or I….when we do that it will be the time when we all will be united and than all our power and spirit will be one big force…and that force will fight ….
    when you talk about Gandhi and Hitler you talk about two different individuals that did fight but in different ways…one did fight by bringing all others and united them …and the other did fight but was alone in this fight and did fight by cousing others pain and suffer…
    we all have our demons within us..but we have to control them..and dont let them out every time…control ..this is all ….
    love you dear..
    take care…
    have a good night and sweet dreams..
    love you …
    yours for ever..

    How are You?
    You wrote great post as always. Your reflections about silence are very
    interesting and clever.This part about fight for independanece is amazing and very
    patriotic.”Its never us or we or ours. Its always I me myself and mine.”- I agree with this sentence it’s truth:-) Good night and love to You :-)

    Run Silent Run Deep….Still Waters Run Deep.
    Never understimate the power of Still Waters. The Calm before the Storm can be unfathomable and of abstract in nature . Silence can be fathomed in many different dimensions based on the eyes of the beholder and the executioner. The beauty of the Indian philosophy is all about You in relation to the outside world and as a part of it and not you in relation to only you (can be termed as a western mindset) and silence as a form of communication is a brilliant tool with a stupendous arsenal of its own……

  76. Daisy M says:

    Dear Mr Bachchan

    Perhaps I should add something rather more serious and sober. I think we are living in a time where there are hugely important wars to be fought against so many wrongs in the world… against man’s stupidity and greed… against man’s inhumanity to man… and to animal.

    Huge causes… like the fight to stop the world’s population increasing to catastrophic levels… to curb our disastrously high consumption of energy… to counter global warming… to fight pollution… to save the remaining green and wild places on the planet… to protect the terribly endangered species… like India’s magnificent tiger…

    The fight to ensure education for everyone, most especially the women, who will then fight for the future of their children.. and to provide universal health care, clean water, nutritious and sufficient food, unpolluted air… (all these only possible if population levels do not spiral) the list is endless…

    We are living in a time when brave and intelligent and resourceful fighters, wise men, leaders are needed as never before.

    With love from Daisy (who is clearly on a sugar high after all that forbidden hot chocolate)

    Dear Amitji,

    Wow!! great post…and your write up for silence kept me thinking for sometime,,,,as for me I do not react or rather say do not break silence as few times i feel best way to avoid fight,,but for some people that may be the opposite as some people dont like silence,,but as said one can not make everyone happy,,,if you have two options to choose and i think what ever option you decide ,,one is hurted….so better keep Silent and just follow your heart.:)

    if i could write well then would reply to your post every day and can write and write till you are tired ,,more then 900 comments…but cant write…but till can post many ……more……just writing hi and discuss about your movies and just talking about all EF i. e Us……..:)

    Perhaps writing in a style that is abstract and non specific is definitive and constructive. Only if the reader takes on the meaning and thought of the writer. What point however is there is having on a suject matter that nil person’s understand or can even concieve beyond normal understandings and logic.

    I was once told a tree is a tree because we are told it is so. How is it a tree if there is no preconception of the matter which stands before us. How are we so sure. How does it fit into our world. What shapes it. Us, Or, it. Hmm ..

  92. Lena (Elena) says:

    Dear Sir,

    this day 688 I am going to come to your heart very close and you know why I am here and why very close. All your respondents will speak about magic of eleven silences today but I’ll speak about sounds. Sound also could well be provocative. Let me start, dear!

    Sometimes it seems to me that you have got a thousand of eyes – a thousand of ears – a thousand of hearts. Otherwise I’m not able to explain this wonderful phenomenon of “blog love”. How do you manage to look through and to flow through your consciousness and your heart all these hundreds of comments and private stories full of emotions, sadness, love, hope, sometimes insult, aggression and jealousy? Only thousand-eyed Argos, a hero of stories of ancient Greece, was able to look with the help of eyes-stars straight at the whole world without missing anything. But you are not Argos…

    I think, each of the guests of your blog is taking a certain niche here and makes his/her “game” with you. And everyone thinks that he/she is in the centre of attention. Very typical for our “self”, isn’t it? (Remember, I told you about your magic effect of “Mona Lisa”). During last 6 months your blog has been transformed into a “noisy fair” where very sweet and not quite sweet people are sharing their love, their respect, their argue, their relationships with you and with each other. I remember the other times and another blog when all people were much more reserved and not so private. Honestly, I miss “that” blog. But I can understand this General Rule of Life: everything is drifting, is changing (as one ancient Greek philosopher said).

    Today I want to be maximally unobservable, “undeveloped” in these voices of international crowd. But I wish I could also have my own game with you. Let me show my initiative. My game – on the strings of your soul. Will the sound appear? It depends the tonality and the beauty of the melody. Remember that Hamlet told his “friends” that he is a flute and this flute will be untuned but not played…

    I’m carefully taking the bow in my hands and touching the strings of the fragile exotic instrument: the violin of Stradivari or the Indian esraj, I don’t know. But suddenly I’m clearly beginning to hear marvelous but a little bit nervous music. My ear is catching wonderful sounds and harmonic sounds. Suddenly, it seems to me that this music is sounding especially for me. Ahh! Again the effect of Mona Lisa or something more?

    Silence? ….I don’t like silence because always silence for me is associated with death ! I like noise made by people and this way I’m sure I’m not alone .
    To be silent is not good to anybody.
    Good and evil ? I have both of them and depend the situation I can be one or the other ! This way I learnt from day by day in this life !
    I hope you can hear me make a lot of noise when I’m writing to you (I abuse the keyboard). For you I’m the Good always.
    I hope the silence around you to be break by somebody ! I hope you are not alone !

    Mr. B,
    Yes ,Silence is that ornate ivory tower within,with which we cloak ourselves, shrouded in mystery, encased with our secrets intact !Just my take .Have started on Obama’s “The Audacity Of Hope” he’s a very prolific writer , has a clear vision of thought , his sentences are crisp, emphatic, interesting, short but conveying a wealth of meaning , brilliant .His other book”Dreams From My Father” also was an engrossing read , his language has a languid satin feel to it , so rich in thinking.A cut above the mundane without doubt.No wonder he has achieved a status that will go down in history for posterity to knowand remember.
    Ur 11 points on silence has made me sit up and think!Mr. B, here’s wishing u a nice day, love and regards

    Dear Amitji,
    It is thought provoking to read the blog on “silence”- yes, silence is sometimes defeaning to the mind!! But sometimes, silence is good for mind too!!!
    Yes, it would be nice to do something for our Motherland- something to contribute towards our country. You have given a great deal of contribution for our country- a great name outside- in other contries. I do believe that self introspection is very important too- we have in ourselves- good and evil - we need to get rid of evil- if we improve, there will be no need for all these war/ untrust/ unhappiness.

  106. Jasmine of London says:

    Oblivion to the world and blissful inner silence would be enviable conditions to swaddle in, alas, if they were not induced by jet lag. No matter, I am sure it shall pass and your creatively embellished musings today, particularly your exhaustive exploration of silence, is as profound and beautiful as always. In silence is where we can commune with our inner self and with the spirit of our creator in order to gain strength. Silence, or calm usually ensues and gathers momentum before the inevitable storm rages again. Silence is the true golden restorative - which is indeed your conclusion - silence endorses conservation of human energy. And in that vein perhaps silence is exactly what the doctor would order for you dearest Mr Bachchan!

    Evidently your thoughts are still heavily bearing the silhouette of ’The Proudest day’ with all these references to fortresses and moats and your wonderful historic reflections.

    Indeed there is a tendency to romanticize wars and historic, momentous periods in time in the same way we are in ‘danger’ of romanticising the past. Its an archetypal male fantasy (although many females harbour similar feelings of patriotism) to fight for ‘king and country‘ as it were. Wars always appear alluring when they are enshrined in history books with only stories of honour and pride following them; but what of the suffering, the terror, the bloodshed involved in the process of fighting for a nation. I always think we are blessed to reap the benefits of independence and advancement without having suffered the horrific consequences at the time.

    For the sake of your argument though, ‘motivation’ is the spirit that leads a nation to want to break free from oppression whilst under duress. Now that independence and democracy has been achieved, what is the motivation to want to unite and fight? The human, as you so rightly surmise, seeks his own comfort and shall only struggle against resistance, for his own ends. It is only when the individual lacks something, albeit liberty, wealth or health, that he will strive to resist; alternatively only if he harbours a zealous vision for a particular cause. It truly doesn’t require a strong leader or a united nation to enforce changes; it only takes an individual with drive, fortiude and a zealous passion to achieve his vision!

    Lets hope that individual is not ‘brother B’ though, because he has artistic pursuits to fulfil! Your delectably ingenious mind and your of artistic talents would have been utterly wasted at war and I for one am delighted your forte lies where it does.

    You may be sheathed in uncertainty regarding your whereabouts, but I am certain I approve of the PM posting times and fervently hope you shall benefit from it tonight.

    Allow the silence to envelop and lull you into blissfully restorative slumber and the morrow shall bring clarity and vitality in abundance.

    Goodnight my dearest Mr Bachchan, sweet dreams.

    My love, in no uncertain terms,

    Thank you for concocting such complimentary falsehoods about me which I only wish I could claim credit for but, sadly cannot!

    You are most wise and eloquent in writing both languages. Your roman Hindi also reads with such a beautiful flow, that is always a true pleasure to read and I am always in awe of that capablity.

    With love & best wishes, the ‘other Jasmine’.

    Dear AB

    Interesting post of last 2 days and quite thoughtful as well.
    Silence - sometimes when you don’t want to prolong the arguement, share a secret, hurt someone’s feeling, start a fight and so on in many other cases choose to remain silent. Is that good or bad is questionable as it has its pros & cons, but i just did that today to my colleague. I did not like the way she spoke to me, was very rude and hurtful as well. But i choose to remain silent and not reply as i did not want to get into an arguement, i thought let me forgive and let go off her foolishness as she know not what she talks and tries to show off.

    love u loads
    Vinita

    Dear Amitji,

    If you are residing somewhere in Muscat, Oman I send you my best wishes. Your welcomed post was quite thought-provoking and very deep. The book you are reading, did it have any influence on your thoughts while writing this?

    I’m happy you weren’t born before 1942 this way we have at least 40 more glorious years of your eternal youth rather than a mere 20 odd years and would feel totally cheated! You were meant to be a bouncy baby of the 40’s!!

    Silence is the inner voice telling me to wish you Goodnight and go to bed as its late. My thoughts and prayers for you always, please stay well.

    Love & God bless,
    Brenda

    Dearest Lakshmi,

    I personally find your comments, both off and on the blog, not only worth two cents, but worth more gold than I could physically carry away in a giant wheelbarrow!

    I found your comment 336 on Day 687 only after I had posted my own, and I hope you will pardon my taking the liberty of repeating it here, as I repeat my own, because I feel that both may have been missed since they came at the tag end of yesterday’s post after Mr. Bachchan had already posted todays blog posting.

    I do this because I feel that the gist of what I tried to say is worth repeating, and that your comment was priceless.

    336. Lakshmi Jag says: March 11, 2010 at 12:10 am

    Satyam…my thoughts when I saw Mr. Shashi Kapoor’s video were that how handsome his smile is and how lucky his daughter is to watch him alive and get recognized, and the love that exists between the brothers. Aging is a process that we all have to experience and some are lucky to be blessed with positive aging and some not so positive. I see no reason to feel bad for it, he is human after all and as all actors mostly are (from my limited experience) emotional. I was so happy to see him being recognized and alive.

    Lakshmi

    343. Phyllis (PB) in Texas says: March 11, 2010 at 1:30 am

    Satyam, Barun and some others,

    I understand your feelings of love and concern about Shashi Kapoor, and I share them. I always loved his movies, and I thought he made one of the most delightful jodis of all time with Amitabh Bachchan.

    Shashiji is almost ten years older than Mr Bachchan, but I agree with Satyam that his current condition does not seem to be just age, but a matter of health, something that is not given to us all in equal good shares in this world.

    I feel somewhat dismayed at a number of comments concerning Shashiji today and a few days ago which described reactions and attitudes to his current ill health which amount to “blaming the victim” mentality. Maybe it is our own discomfort with illness and mortality that make us jump to judgmental conclusions that sufferers brought this on themselves with unhealthy mindsets or lifestyles? That is sometimes the case, but many times not the case, so unless one has the inside medical records of another human being I think one should respond only with concern and sympathy and not with making judgmental remarks.

    Also I was bothered by comments that seem to hold on to the expectation that he should look as dashingly handsome at almost 80 as he did in his thirties and forties…the reel persona stays young and gorgeous forever, but the real man or woman behind the cinematic image is a human being who is “subject to the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to” the same as the rest of us.

    I thought it was only a certain decadent media version of America that valued youth and physical beauty above all else? I guess that this shallow point of view (NOT shared by all Americans, for sure!) has spread…the media is like a virus that for better or worse spreads the spores of unhealthy ideas and prejudices throughout the world.

    I myself looked at that aged face thanks to Satyam’s link and thought how the lines of suffering still looked noble, how the lovely soul still shone through the aging flesh, how sweet the smile was in spite of its sadness: indeed, that sadness was a part of the sweetness and intensified it…

    I loved what Yash Chopra said about his being a beautiful man on the inside as well as the outside. For those who could not see that, you have my sympathy.

    Love to one and all ages,

    Phyllis

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,
    Can one ever truly experience silence ? Silence , not merely the quelling of sound ,but the complete quietening of thought ? What you have termed as a state of ” non-existent being ” .Was it the Buddha who called this the Noble Silence ?
    Does the fact of human beings having a language , preclude our ever experiencing Silence ? Trees are Silent but we are in a constant state of internal dialogue even in the most silent of surroundings , with a dozen thoughts clanging noisily against one another.
    How to be Silent , that is the question of the day for me.
    Will have to think some more about your post today. In the meantime ,lotsa love.

  119. Grace says:

    Dear AB,

    Everyone needs to be silent and alone for a few minits a day to get in touch with their inner self. People who keep silent are not losers either. Loads of activities have been happening around me lately, and just observing them has made me realised that the best solution is to remain silent and do what u think is best for humanity. No one needs a noisy arrogant self centered leader, bragging on his big “I did this and I did that”. There are just too many generals and a handful of soldiers. Those who actually work are the ones at ground level.

    Sorry i was just writing my feelings. Ur place here has been very comfortable for one to express their feelings and thoughts. Its home away from home. haha

    Do take care and keep writing and educating us. We are still on a journey.

    Sai Ram Amitji,

    I was up by 3:30am but first had to attend to my various medical needs, which has become a routine for me before I could get to your Blog, to find like everyday, valuable FOOD for THOUGHT.

    I am unable to proceed for the day (of course after my few minutes with my Swami) without my routine visit to your Blog site, which has become like a routine visit to the second “Mandir” and then proceed with the rest of the day activities.

    This is my FOURTH COMMENT in your Blog and am still waiting for the response to all, especially the FIRST ONE, i.e. on DAY- 685 Sl. No. 306.
    Amitji, this FIRST ONE concerns me very much, since I am told that I am in the same boat as you (medically) and would be ever grateful if you could find the time to go through it and give me a response.

    Swami Bless You and Your Family.

    Lots of Love & Regards - YOGI

    My Dear Mr Bachchan
    How are you? hope you are fine.Did not see an address….so am wondering which part of the universe you are connecting from.

    Your thoughts on ‘eleven silences’ are very well said.At this moment i can’t think of anything to add.

    The other day i was going through a not so old newspaper(The Daily Herald,July 2007,St Maarten version,which is another island.) and it so happened i came across a photograph with you and the british actress Sienna Miller.The photo was taken in Mumbai,you both were sitting on some steps under an umbrella with you holding it.According to the paper,it was during an awareness campaign about the harmful effects of global warming in Mumbai.
    Saint Maarten is another little island in North Eastern Caribbean,cannot describe the exact location,but heard there are lots of indian merchants there.Its where most of the tourists from cruise ships goes to shop, and of course,others from different parts of the caribbean and maybe further.I have never been there,but hope some day to visit.And to add a bit more about the umbrella, there are the logos of IIFA and global cool.org imprinted on it…its nice,would love to have owned one of those.Ifelt so proud to see you in a newspaper around these parts,i kept it.

    Thanks for sharing your great thoughts

    please take care ….have a good day
    May God always bless and protect you,your wonderful family and all dear FmXt
    My sincere love always….

  125. Yogi Sardana says:

    Dear Amitji,

    Just an after thought, regarding the Topic of your day “SILENCE”.

    One’s BODY and MIND are still active, even if you are in a SILENT mode but try doing “YOGNIDRA” even for 10-15 minutes and this TOTALLY switches OFF your MAINS connection and at the end of this you are once again TOTALLY CHARGED to face the tough world.

    This comes in very handy to take a complete rest and recoupe energy in between your very very hectic and busy schedules. If you can just take out 10-15 mins. for yourself in a place which should leave you totally alone for the period, you can do it.

    Warm Regards - YOGI

  127. Tatiana (Ukraine) says:

    Hi, dear sir!
    When I was a teenager, I was in struggle with myself, trying to find my goals, my place in the Universe and the way to communicate with surrounding world. Sometimes I failed to do so and than a great words of Russian poet Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev came to my sight. His poem as deep as your thoughts you expressed in your post today. I thought may be you’re don’t mind if I share it with you.

    Silentium!
    (translated by Vladimir Nabokov)

    Speak not, lie hidden, and conceal
    the way you dream, the things you feel.
    Deep in your spirit let them rise
    akin to stars in crystal skies
    that set before the night is blurred:
    delight in them and speak no word.

    How can a heart expression find?
    How should another know your mind?
    Will he discern what quickens you?
    A thought once uttered is untrue.
    Dimmed is the fountainhead when stirred:
    drink at the source and speak no word.

    Live in your inner self alone
    within your soul a world has grown,
    the magic of veiled thoughts that might
    be blinded by the outer light,
    drowned in the noise of day, unheard…
    take in their song and speak no word.

    As I told earlier, I was very pleased with this poem, ‘cos it was in harmony with my thoughts by that time. But when I grow up I realize that despite silence is gold one must not be speechless when he/she have to say something and have strength to do so… But again, when life beats me with my own words which doesn’t understand in the way I want them to, I get back to that poem and ‘A THOUGHT ONCE UTTERED IS UNTRUE’ and withdraw into myself. That’s life they say…
    I do hope that you will continue share with us of your wisdom and won’t be silence in any way.
    With love and respect, Tatiana.

    Dear Mr. Bachchan

    It looks like you still are in Europe and it looks like my “hoping” has to continue for some more time. Are you enjoying the French Riviera? I am just making a WILD GUESS and I know I am completely wrong…..lol. Silence is Golden but then again if we all maintain silence you will not be able to get the 900 responses you are looking for. But be careful what you wish for because reading 900 responses will not be an easy task and if you decide to give the “golden” line to all you will need 10 assistants ( I will volunteer anytime, just in case you are looking for one :) ). Enjoy your blissful, silence filled time in which ever part of the Universe you are in.

    आदरणीय अमितजी,

    क्या सोच रहे हैं ?? क्या कुछ नया करने का इरादा है ?? या सिर्फ शब्दों के साथ कब्बड्डी खेली जा रही है…..

    आप इतनी कठिन और फिलोसफाना बातें लिखने लगे है कि हम सब भी उसी लाईन में सोचने लगे है……क्या यह महज एक ख्याल है जो दिमाग से गुजरा और आपने लिख दिया या कोई सीरियस ‘मेक-ओवर’ होने वाला है….

    अगर मेरा पर्सनल विचार इस ‘खामोशी’ या ‘एकांत’ या ‘शुन्यता’ या ‘नीरवता’ के बारे में जानना चाहेंगें तो यही है कि यह मनुष्य का मनुष्य होने का एहसास है क्या कभी किसी ने, किसी पशु या प्राणी (जानवर) की ख़ामोशी के बारे में, उनके एकांत के बारे में सोचा है….. क्योंकि हम मनुष्य है और हमारे मन में एक साथ एक ही समय ढेरों विचार रुपी मृदंग बजते रहते है इसलिए हम इस एकांत और शान्ति की खोज में लगे रहते है…..लेकिन हाँ, लेकिन हमारे दिमागों के लिए प्रकृति ने या जिसे आप ईश्वर कह सकते है, ’switch-off’ बटन नहीं बनाया है. जब तक मनुष्य जिन्दा है उसे कभी भी शून्य का एहसास नहीं हो सकता हाँ, अगर कोई ब्रेन-डेड हो तो अलग बात है. कोई भी पागल, दीवाना या विक्षिप्त इंसान कपडे पहनना भूल सकता सकता है लेकिन क्या वह खाना-पीना भूलता है कभी ?…..कोई अगर दावा करता है कि उसने ‘एकांत’ को खोज लिया है तो वह निर्विवाद रूप से झूठ ही बोल रहा है…..

  134. Rasha Zayed says:

    My Dearest Mr. Bachchan,

    Iam impressed by your eleven silences and the profound meanings embedded in each of them. Quotes and sayings which we usually look for and come across are the outcome of a thinking and contemplating mind, that reflects deeply on happenings, events or circumstances that it had come across.
    And your eleven silences today show that you have been involved in that contemplative and pensive mood..

    Actually reading them in context to your whole piece today would provide them with a different general meaning, than reading each of them in the abstract and in isolation, as independent quotes. But as one reads through the mystery of the references to silence is revealed and one would find out what has produced this silence that prevailed today, and would also witness the influence of the captivating “The Proudest Day”.

    It is so true that in our world today there is this lack of a goal or an objective around which people would unite, which would motivate people and unite them into action. While reading in the history of India’s struggle for freedom I was so much impressed by the spirit that exited, which defied all powers, tolerated all tyrannical and oppressive circumstances and maintained persistence and perseverance in pursuing their goal. The goal of overthrowing a repressive and exploitative power provided the strength and the motivation, and it is the goal that made existent of the plans and means and ideas.

    This one goal has diminished from our world today and there is a longing for it in every nation. In Egypt few months ago millions of Egyptians have experienced unity and togetherness because of a soccer match. Yes, it is only a sports match, but it was like an awakening point to the nation, and it made the people aware of how much they miss this collective state, this state of getting together around one common goal, and a talk has emerged everywhere that there is a real need for a common national goal around which people would get together and in which they would invest their energies, their knowledge and which would help in more progress and development.

    We return back to the point of silence here…because it is hard question to answer as to who would take the initiative. It is so true that selfishness, greed and caring only for the self and its narrow interests has permeated our worlds, and that it is scarce to find those who would be true leaders with broad horizons and wider interests, and who care for the collective welfare of people.

    I would quote part of Gandhi in saying that “In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in an clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness”.
    So silence sometimes has that effect too, and I hope the silence you experienced today will be the provider of a more soothed and reassured state of mind, cleared from any oblivious state to the world or the self.

    have a peaceful and restful sleep and enjoy the sweetest of dreams dear Mr. B …

    with my love to you…

  137. Aniseh, Toronto says:

    Hello Amitabh!

    I think what we must do to really get that fight back and build the spirit back is to strike another match and start anew! This thought has crossed my mind often, and when we live life with the usual precision and consistency, we begin to gather dust, more often with no destination in sight. To look beyond ourselves, to change our path in life, and explore new avenues might be one way of finding ourselves and the truth that lies within.

    We need to be more inspired today than ever before. This world is not all doom and gloom. The effort needs to come from us first before we find that magical path. To believe strongly for a cause, and to make it work has to come from within - without expectations from the world, irrespective of the support and motivation from others. No doubt that would help. I am still searching!

    You may have read Rainer Maria Rilke, one of my favourite writers/poets, in these words a lot of wisdom:
    “…to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer..”

    Hi Amitji!

    Silence gives solace to some and it can be unnerving for some! There are times when we crave for silence and solitude and there are times when we look forward to activities and some noise around us. Silence can be depressing at times and it can give us peace at other times. Silence is intriguing…..never thought so much about the various faces of silence….guess we wre all taking some lessons in philosophy from you!

    The significance of the number 11 was unknown to me. I learnt something from yo yet again.

    Shubha




  144. Tatiana says:

    Dear Amitabh Bachchan,

    You wrote so well about silence.. I never thought of some of the aspects of it that I read among your ‘eleven’ today..

    From spiritual teachings by Christian Orthodox writers I’ve learned that silence indeed can spare human interaction of unnecessary turmoil. Not every opinion is worthy of being expressed even if one possess it. To keep peace and to heal the spirit is more appealing and important than the ‘war’ of words.

    *
    Russian writer Feodor Dostoyevsky, wrote about the fight of good and evil happening constantly and human hearts being the battlefield.

    So we have hands full - to heal and improve ourselves, keep our evils under control, not lashing out and hurting others. But for whatever reason we do not like to see within ourselves and endlessly look for the guilty party outside. We blame the others for every little fault. We dig into the hearts and souls of others, pick them apart, gossip, judge, evaluate, estimate and imagine that we can see in the heart of another better than in our own… There are very famous words of Jesus from the Bible, that one should remove the log from one’s eye before being able to see and remove the mote from the eye of another ..

    Also in the same spiritual tradition is that if we think we have no evil in ourselves - we are in the most dangerous position. Because if we are unaware of the ‘illness’ - we will never get it treated…

    *
    I agree with your words - “Its never us or we or ours. Its always I me myself and mine.”- they do reflect the state of consciousness of modern society. Egotism and selfishness are taught to be the key point of life of individual. The saddest thing it that we do not need to be taught that - it is rather our prime instinct which we humans need to overcome in order to have a better life for all and a future as a race of beings.

    *
    You said that the strong individual initiates and plays a great part in historical events and it is very true..
    And it is a bounty for humankind if such an individual has taken the side of the good within himself and has a humane purpose. But if the individual is a conductor of evil the disaster and horror breaks loose like world war II .
    I was deeply touched by your expressed desire to be born to be a participant in another time and to be a fighter for good causes. Those were harsh and painful times. My both grandfathers died in WWII - I never knew them even the pictures were lost. And my parents’ childhood and youth was afflicted by those rough times.. I know from their stories, by comparing, how ‘care free’ and plentiful our contemporary life may seem. I wish always to remember that and appreciate the blessed time of peace we live in ..

    The time of peace and plenty could be used for building a greater world … But it seems that we are in danger of losing ‘momentum’ at such times and as you said - “And so in this condition the ‘fight’ and ’spirit’ is missing.”
    To build that spirit back we have to make a personal spiritual effort . If we do not do that - we slide into entropy and face the unbalance and chaos and may face another historical disaster as a logical result of it all… Sorry to voice such a sad prognosis, but I am not oblivious to the world I live in and to the seriousness of the situation people are facing worldwide …

    *
    Your entry today are words of wisdom and many of your thoughts are expressed poetically ..
    It’s been a pleasure to read you today, thank you …

    May your day be beautiful wherever you are : )

    My love and prayers.

  145. Kumar Anu says:

    Mr Bachchan,

    SILENCE ADMITS GUILT- NO WAY !!!!

    Silence has power-No Doubt.
    Silence gives strength- No doubt.
    Silence is peaceful-no doubt.
    Silence refines intellect- no doubt .
    Silence is the ultimate weapon-no doubt.

    Silence is key to life. As they say-Spoken words can never be taken back. Once you have said something-its transmitted through the universe.Every part of universe is effected by what you say. So Silence helps us- it helps us to gather our thoughts. It helps us to think straight. It Saves us from being reactive to situations.
    Also, Silence connects us to divinity, to the purity of live. And when you are connected with the universe through silence.Silence refines your thought process.Your intellect, mind becomes steady to make right choices. After all, Life is all about choices.

    But Silence , does not admit guilt. Because silence is Action in its own way.There is always a strong message delivered through silence.It might be difficult in this world to make your presence felt , if you are silent always. Your existence might be denied in a crowded world - where saying the same thing again and again leaves a everlasting impact. Facts ,truth and reality are manipulated by people who love to contaminate the world.

    So If we don’t speak up- who will save this world. The truth will be lost for ever.

    The Answer lies in itself- silence is the truth. Silence give us the divine power and steady intellect- SILENT PEOPLE DO SPEAK WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT AND THE UNIVERSE IS PREPARED TO SPEAK WITH THEM.

    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi became Mahatma because of his friendship with Silence.

    Again a thoughtful blog on SILENCE, a controversial subject.
    How often we are warned to think before we speak, and yet there are times in our lives we have spoken without thinking, and lived to regret it.
    Silence is one of the hardest Arguments to refute.
    It is said communication is only 30% verbal, rest of the time body speaks,
    when lips are silent.
    In my opinion timely spoken words can only cause wonders.

    Dear Amitji

    Your reference on 11 aspects of ” SILENCE” was very beautifully toned. Yes silence brings out many manifestations of man.

    It is an individual with collective support has created what is called “HISTORY”.

    Thanks and keep writing . This refreshes our brain to do meaningful work for the day.

    Thank you 117 Nimmi Harisinghani,

    I really loved what you wrote about silence. It made me think of this poem:

    The Region November

    It is hard to hear the north wind again,
    And to watch the treetops, as they sway.

    They sway, deeply and loudly, in an effort,
    So much less than feeling, so much less than speech,

    Saying and saying, the way things say
    On the level of that which is not yet knowledge:

    A revelation not yet intended.
    It is like a critic of God, the world

    And human nature, pensively seated
    On the waste throne of his own wilderness.

    Deeplier, deeplier, loudlier, loudlier,
    The trees are swaying, swaying, swaying.”

    - Wallace Stevens

  174. SunnY 1 says:

    Hi Sir,

    Silence has its own capabilities and they are far different from those arguments that are spoken out. Silence has its own functions, 11 of which you have covered and of which nicely cover its entire scope. The process that a nation goes through to achieve its independence and bring in that freedom from foreign rule is full of effort and hope. To be a part of it would be having the opportunity to contribute towards its achievement. To change the perception away from the individual towards the collective society would be a step towards working together in unity. If there were no motives for individual gain then many problems could be eliminated. And as a side, just wanted to let you know that your performance in ‘RANN’ was incredible especially the concluding speech that you present in the end. It is conveyed in such a powerful, yet emotional manner.

    Regards and Love,

  189. Sir Big B says:

    Dated:11.03.2010.

    Dear Big Brother,

    Adaab……….Wow……….. what a thought provoking ……….Blog………….Big Brother………Silence of the universe………….hmmmmm…

    ….Long ago, in the days before telephones and wireless communication, there existed a zone of silence in the world that covered the earth with a blanket of peace and quiet. It carried in it the wishes and prayers of those who sought to lead a good life, a holy life, and it helped allay the fears of those who were concerned for the future. This zone of silence allowed communication between heaven and earth to proceed more smoothly since it was uninterrupted by earthly communication, and individuals related more to the surrounding world of the invisible, rather than to the voice at the other end of a telephone.

    This is no longer the case. The noise of human affairs has replaced the silence of the spheres for humans to listen to. It has replaced the quiet of an afternoon spent sitting under a tree or by a stream with the busyness of working at a computer. It has created the fear of being alone because one is out of communication with everyone else. The idea of communing with oneself and with God has been replaced by the need to be in constant touch with others, with work, with world events, with the latest trends on the stock market, etc. The list goes on indefinitely.

    The purpose of silence is to expand individual consciousness so that the human being can be nourished from a deeper source. The source is always there. Without the silence, it is often difficult to hear what it has to say because outer voices are clamoring for attention and are much easier to hear. Avoidance of quiet has become endemic to a whole way of life for people who pride themselves on keeping busy. It has become endemic to a culture that prides itself on getting a lot done and rising on the ladder of outer success, merit, education, accomplishment, fame, etc. But there is an inner ladder of accomplishment that can never be located in this way, for it goes not up, but down - down into the depths of one’s being, down into the core elements out of which one is composed, down into the subsphere of thought to the place where thought no longer matters and only ‘being’ becomes real. This ladder contacts the depths of the soul and brings one closer to the realm of purpose in life, and, indeed, the purpose for which each one was created. This ladder takes us away from the distractions of outer life to the quiet zone of eternity.

    Silence needs to be regulated into one’s life so that depth can be maintained. It needs to flow like a secret river between one’s soul and the outer expression of that soul. Taking time to be silent comforts the heart, enlivens the mind, gives liberty and joie de vivre to whatever actions will be taken at other times, and brings an individual out of a more shallow existence, into a deeper knowing of themselves.

    Silence translates the language of the soul into a sense of purpose and direction for one’s outer activities so that meaning in all things becomes enhanced, and random gestures or actions become minimized. In this way, silence contributes to the deepening of meaning in life.

    There is no way for a society to emerge into a higher state of consciousness without individuals becoming more conscious of themselves - of who they really are, not who they have been taught they are or who they imagine themselves to be. Infusing a time of silence into the atmosphere of one’s life is essential to the healthy growth of the total being, just as food is essential to the healthy growth of the body. Both are needed so that the spiritual can be connected with the material, and so that all that exists within as Divine gift and talent can find a means of outer expression.

    Until such time as individuals come to value themselves enough so that they preserve an element of silence within their lives, life will continue to edge toward the frivolous and superficial and away from the deep and profound. Silence is the road toward spiritual growth, whether through quiet contemplation, meditation, or sitting by a river and watching the sky, silence reconnects man with his soul and restores the needed balance to life as it is meant to be lived.

    With tons of love…..peace…….silence………..Birbal.

    Respected Amitji,

    Wondering where you are perched now.. but i do hope u are somewhere safe.

    Looks like there is a silent battle within yourself and there comes the 11 gems in terms of quotes. How wonderfully u have crafted the words.

    Sirji, me being a slightly a silent lady i do follow some golden rules of silence. Unfortunately i have also experienced that SILENCE IS ALWAYS MISUNDERSTOOD and in my case i have lost out in many circumstances because of my silence which i maintained inorder to avoid any explosion. So i am now pushing myself quite hard to break silence within me.

    Removing demons with myself is a herculean task no doubt and in any case it will ofcourse evolve oneself, but bearing demons from others is killing.

    I hope you have a safe journey back home.
    love u lots and with many pranaams

  195. Melwyn says:

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,

    On your observations about silence, well I think I should remain silent.

    Our country certainly has come a long, long way from those days of uncertainty and desperation way back in 1947, when nobody was ready to give us much of a chance. But we could have done even better had there been a much stronger sense of belonging, unity and resolve in us. Unfortunately, we have failed to stay on track and have lost ourselves in petty, selfish pursuits. If we are looking for a goal to inspire us, to motivate and reunite us, then that goal should be the defeat of separatist forces and terrorist elements who are playing havoc with our future.

    Greatest regards as always,

    Melwyn




  196. Phyllis (PB) in Texas says:

    “Words, words, words” ….

    “The rest is silence.”

    Hamlet.

    In between the words and the silence there is our experience.
    On myriad levels.

    For instance, the sorting of the brain that absorbs incredible amounts of data each minute, each second, and streamlines these into what we learn to label reality. The world, as Wordsworth wrote, is something that we “half create and half perceive.”

    There is that which underlies both the thousands of words and the numberless silences, the experience beyond experience that transcends both.

    But here we are in the world, moving through something called time.

    137 Aniseh, what a superb comment you wrote! I read it with great delight and especially loved your inspired quote from Rilke: “the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer..”

    It reminded me of a passage in a novel by Doris Lessing:

    “One talked, one did this or that: finally, one “HEARD” for the first time what one’s life had been saying over and over again, for years…Living was simply a process of developing different “ears,” senses, with which one “heard,” EXPERIENCED, what one couldn’t before.”

    “The Summer Before the Dark”

    Even the best researched history is yet one more human fiction, a creative construct built out of words and out of silence. Do we get the history we deserve?

    The conqueror leaves his mark. The pillars of Ashoka across north India. Sometimes he steals them. The Elgin Marbles in the British Museum.

    Each age has the truths it will tell and the truths it will quell. And what is said and what becomes silent will change from one century to another, from one culture to another, from one religion to another, from one country to another.

    History can remorph itself from one book to another, sometimes within the same decade. As Robert Browning showed us in “The Ring and the Book” and Kurosawa showed us in “Rashomon” the quest for truth is complex and we often hypostatize truth, chopping its head or feet off to fit the Procrustean bed of our own subjective opinion. There is no universal law to prevent even historians writing in good faith from doing the same.

    So all we can do is to read with an open mind, to absorb knowledge with an open mind, which is to say to leave the door open to that which as of yet we have not experienced. This blog, complete with comments, offers us all a unique opportunity to practice this.

    “Truth is correlative to being. Knowledge without a corresponding reality is no knowledge.”

    Coleridge, Biographia Literaria

    Happy practice to one and all.

    Phyllis

    Dearest Mr. Bachchan,
    ***The number ‘FIVE’ has always been my favorite number. I look for fives in
    everything…like the petals on violets…or the points on a star…or windows on a house, columns on a building, just everywhere. I am drawn to 2, 5 and 7…
    Is that strange? Well, based on what you’ve written today about the number ‘ELEVEN’, I’m glad to think that you might understand.
    ***I appreciate the trust that went into you sharing your thoughts on silence.
    I’ve tried to come up with some wise words in response to you, from other people, of course…I don’t have any of my own…sorry. I looked at quite a few
    quotes on ’silence’ and chose to offer eleven of them to you in previous comments here tonight.
    ***Nope…In my opinion, you were born at just the right time in history…You’re here, I’m here. That’s all that matters. Bloom where you’re planted, Mr. Bachchan. I wouldn’t change a thing as far as when you were born…WHERE you were born? Hmmm. I wish you had been born in Texas…I could have found you alot sooner. But I’ve found you now…and once again, that’s all that matters.
    ***There are still many things worth fighting for, Sir. You just have to pick
    your battles. Like what you’re doing with diabetes and tuberculosis…raising awareness about their prevalence in India, that’s a good fight you’re fighting.
    I’m sure there are other worthy battles you fight on a daily basis that I’ll never know about. I am sure that there are many, many wonderful gestures of yours that will never see the light of day. I bet you wage war on many fronts, everyday, that NO ONE will ever even know about. That’s just the kind of man you are. I’m not estimating…I can tell…
    ***You ask “What’s in it for me?” Well, all I have to offer you in return for
    DAY 688 are these few paltry words…straight from my heart:
    I appreciate the man you are, Sir.
    I respect the man you are, Sir.
    I love the man you are, Sir.
    I see the man you are, Sir.
    Namaste, Sirji.

    Dear Amit Sahib,

    I am beginning to marvel at your contemplative nature.
    Intelligence, sensitivity, empathy - that is what we
    normally associate with and expect from good actors.
    But you are introspective and contemplative in a different
    way. On one side, you are so action-oriented; on the other,
    you keep reflecting philosophically and so very minutely
    over your self and the the world. Such a personality has
    limitless potentialities.

    I wonder if you too write poetry like your dad, but you do
    have the temperament of a poet or a writer. Your 11 - what
    should I say - poetic utterances attest to what I am saying.
    Translate them into Hindi and you get a poem.

    The semantics of your post-script reference (in the bold) is
    not very clear, but it seems you concur with me. Celebrity
    status is a difficult one and throws up special problems that
    can disturb. I know you have the wherewithal to deal with
    them. It was a bit naive on my part to have cautioned you
    on that score, but it was out of good faith and love.

    God be with you !

    Correction to the typo in comment # 187:

    The correct word in the song that I quoted from the film “Khamoshi” is “Mukhtasar..” not “mukhtar”. Sorry about that.

    “Mukhtasar si baat hai, tum se pyar hai…”

    Phyllis, Valorie, Daisy, Rochelle, Anat Magen: the rough and very inadequate translation is: “The simple thing is — I love you….I wait for you…call me…”

    (Call me not as in calling on the phone, but calling out to someone, their name).

    Do listen to the song, a perennial favorite of mine since the moment I heard it. Can listen to it infinitely and not get tired, a haunting melody composed and sung by the incomparable Hemant Kumar:

    When this silent man decided to speak the filmare looked dull… the mumbai mirror has no place of acceptance in the many hearts of his fan… He stands tall here speaking everyday and those who used to speak abt him n he used to hear n watch..now visit his blog daily to see what he speaks.. Fear the wrath of a silent man…. i guess with my little knowledge n words enough has been explained…:-p

    Tonight’s Victor Fleming double feature at the Film Forum was ‘Test Pilot’ with Spencer Tracy, Myrna Loy, Clark Gable, and Lionel Barrymore and ‘A Guy named Joe’ with Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne.

    I tried to look up a quote by Buster Keaton about sound films but I couldn’t find it. It went something like ‘There’s nothing wrong with sound that a little silence can’t help.

    But I did find another one:
    ‘Silence is of the gods; only monkeys chatter’.

    I don’t think 900 responses would be a record. I seem to recall a day that had over a thousand.

    Good night.

    the need for fight is still there. we do have a goal to fight for…may be what lacks is the spirit. who do we look up to? to icons like you. on you is the onus. you are the celebrities that carry the responsibility of winning this war. the problem is the war is not against a single united oppressive force which is alien and against whom it is very easy to unite. the enemy this time is among us, may be even a brother. the enemy is the perpetrator of corruption and disharmony. think about it, it is a much bigger fight and a more decisive one for the borders dont exist here at all. they have attacked us in our hearts and minds…..silence will only make this war cry more loud

    Without being sarcastic or wanting to be ironic I sometimes think that dark period is always also chance. Apparently it turns out to be the best or at least not always it seems to be the best decisionin the situation. Often the real meaning of a life changing event can only be understood after enough distance in time. So what looks bad today might turn out to be finally.




  227. mitu says:

    Namaste Amitji

    Silence…………….

    Only someone who can talk can be silent. If one never says anything, one cannot be silent. Nor if one has nothing to say.
    For silence stems from ‘reticence’.
    ‘To be silent’ is schweigen, with das Schweigen for ‘silence’. Verschweigen is ‘to keep silent about something, to conceal it’; its perfect particle,
    Verschwiegen, means ‘kept silent, secret’, and also ‘discreet, reticent’; it generates Verschwiegenheit, ‘reticence, discretion’.
    Silence does not invariably conceal:
    ‘Silence is one of talk’s ways of being and as such it is a definite way of expressing oneself about something to others’

    Dear Lion King,

    I thought I would not say much in respect of your post today and observe the much needed silence. I thought nine was the most auspicious number. I thought within us are many attributes yet to be discovered. I thought within us are many unseen faces. I thought a life time is not enough to see it and we remain undiscovered. I had many thoughts that vanished when I saw this blog. No more from me, I wish to revert back to silence.

    ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
    Ratan Tata and the flat tyre (a forwarded message worth sharing on this meaningful platform)

    One of Mr. Ratan N Tata’s first assignments was the stewardship of the ailing electronics company in the Tata portfolio - Nelco.

    Story goes that a team of senior managers from Nelco was driving to Nasik along with RNT. Halfway into the journey, the car had a flat tyre, and as the driver pulled up, the occupants - including Mr. Tata- got off for a comfort break, leaving the driver to replace the tyre.

    Some of the managers welcomed the forced break, as it allowed them a much-needed chance to light up a cigarette. Some used the opportunity to stretch, and smile, and share a joke. And then, one of them suddenly noticed that Mr. Tata was not to be seen, and wondered aloud where Ratan Tata might have vanished.

    Was he behind some bush?

    Had he wandered off inside the roadside dhaba for a quick cup of tea?

    Or was he mingling with some passer-bys, listening to their stories?

    None of these, in fact while his colleagues were taking a break, Ratan Tata was busy helping the driver change tyres. Sleeves rolled up, tie swatted away over the shoulder, the hands expertly working the jack and the spanner, bouncing the spare tyre to check if the tyre pressure was ok. Droplets of sweat on the brow, and a smile on the face.

    In that moment, the managers accompanying Ratan Tata got a masterclass in leadership they haven’t forgotten.

    And that’s a moment that the driver of that car probably hasn’t forgotten either.

    Questions to ask:

    When was the last time I rolled up my sleeves to do a task much below my hierarchy?
    Do I wait for the big opportunity to showcase my leadership?
    Is that big opportunity ever going to come?
    Am I trying to manage upwards so much that I’ve lost the feel of the field?

    Ideas for action:

    Humility is the essence of success.
    Be humble and even teach your children to be so.
    To reach the top and remain there, always start from the bottom, else your days at the top will not last long..

    hi amitji,
    how r u? whats with all this silence ? i didn’t understand whats happenning between 8 and 9.25????
    love and more love

    rachana




  247. Lyudmila says:

    Dearest Amitji.. Very thoughtful post giving an occasion to reason for reflection.. You so write about silence… Yes, the silence happens deafening, when there is no any thoughts, the reason does not perceive any information for some reasons., and this silence becomes awful and intolerable… But there is also other silence… I have opened recently for myself that appears and the silence has sounds! Absolutely special, gentle latent sounds… I will not begin to go deep further into this concept being afraid to be incorrectly understood by some respondents, but the silence has sounds….
    Further, my precious. You mention names of two people, undoubtedly great and talented., Gandhi and Hitler.. I consider Gandhi as really great person, I very respect this Great family..

    Separate history with the person of the second - Hitler.. I can name his Great madman…. Some days ago here on a blog one person expressed in delight this person.. To tell the truth I was in a shock of that this person has written. I do not understand as it is possible to admire the person who has destroyed weight of the people, taken away millions lives……… My country ., my Russia and Europe saw a lot of a grief from power Hitler and his accomplices.. is too much grief… My dear, I too sometimes mentally dream to revive at that time, in those 1941 years to take part against fascist terror, to see defeat and a clear victory over this.. Such silence now in my heart…
    And the silence has sounds, Amitji.!! ;)
    Blessing of God to you and my prayers.. I love you, my dear..

    The my dear, best and precious friend, i sincerely thanks you for this post, you have stirred up silence sounds..
    I think of you very often, you in my heart… My huge boundless warmth and love to you my darling… I embrace heat.. Loving and truly yours for ever your Lyudmila..

    As silence is golden in our mind has been burnt

  253. Olya (Russia) says:

    To a post in Day 687.
    Good morning, dearest Amitabhji.
    How it is pleasant to learn, that you read in your free time. And I thank you, that you share yours thoughts with us about that, what you know, what you understand, how you understand …
    Rather and rather interesting to read to me your thoughts about a role of history in human life. « … And what transpires now is at times baffling to the newcomer because he has no knowledge of the past …. And this is the problem of every problem - lack of knowledge and circumstance. » Yes, the truth, we come to this world without history, pure as a leaf, and during a life we acquire knowledge, we address to history of our family, to history of our country, to history of our society etc… And we do not know, or we do not see with one’s own eyes (directly are not present) how all was indeed up to us, we can learn about it only on the basis of that information which someone gives us which we get during a life …. And so happens with everyone. Transfer of knowledge of history on a chain …. Only even for all life we will not learn, we will not make, we will not embrace all that would be desirable us. Because, as you have told, ‘circumstances’ fault to it. And time … The human life is short … And consequently I completely support such your idea, as « Nothing quite like those days ever came back and shall never will, but we must dwell and appreciate the existence of the times and the contributions made for us to admire and live by. ….. » . Yes … « Nothing will return , even a small word … »
    « Leave they say, while the going is good before you ruin it all by working in insipid films. Make your decision and retire and live life in rest and fulfillment ». It is very a pity to read it. I do not understand, Amitji, dearest, how it is possible to solve for you a question about the termination of your career! Likely, knows a little, that you spoke in this occasion (and not once). It does not concern to you - to go on leave ! Your answer today « Damn if I shall rest. » . And you one day spoke on blog, that cannot even long have a rest, not speaking about that not to work entirely. That you still have forces and desire something to make in your profession. Rest, certainly, will not prevent to be restored to a tired organism but if there is a strong desire to work and work, I shall be only sincerely glad for such your desire! While you have forces while there are any new ideas which wish to realize while you have an opportunity, use it (the main thing that this opportunity was much at you).
    You in the right to act how you would like, how you feel, how consider necessary.
    And if you consider, that else can make in your profession - go further! And we with pleasure shall wait from you for new, interesting, deep roles ….
    My the best and the kindest wishes to you, Amitji. And take care of itself…
    Always with you. Love you…
    Olya.

    Dear Big B,

    You worte beautifully on silence, remarkeble blog.
    As human being, at times we enjoy silence, at times same silence becomes so unbearable that we want to break at any cost. In meditation, silence has got very respectable place, It has revealed to the extent that observe silence and just by observing, complete transformation can take palce. Its easier said then done,So many thoughts intridue our brain that we are not in silence in its true sense. Challenging question is how to discipline thought process.

    This is human …..

    Respected M.Bachchan,
    ”The significance of silence is often underestimated.Silence does not necessarily mean ignorance or even concurrence.It could well mean a desire to distance oneself from the situation in order to get a clearer view of the larger picture.Silence provides a chance to reflect and understand,to achieve that greater comprehension and a wider liberating perspective ….
    Silence can be to the spirit,what sleep is to the body,silence can rest the mind.Silence can be more profound in it’s eloquence than even the longest talkathon ever telecast or even the most enduring fillibuster witnessed in Parliament…In a way,silence is a wholesome penance since it involves self-denial and restraint.”- Anonymous.
    With warm regards…

    Dearest Amitabhji,
    I have no other choice but to silently hear you , read your writings, smile, ponder, think, imagine , chase, follow, love you. I read somewhere the promise of virtue is ’silence’.
    I simple love number eleven as I arrived on that number in this world and whoever wears 11 in a sports field or associated with 11 generates energy within me and adds springs to my feet.

    Number Eleven possesses the qualities of intuition, patience, honesty, sensitivity, and spirituality, and is idealistic. Others turn to people who are ‘Eleven’ for teaching and inspiration, and are usually uplifted by the experience. Eleven can also represent sin; transgression and peril. Hope we can and strive to do more with the former qualities.

    With love from the silence of my heart.
    Mario

    Dear Sir,

    Today’s is once again a REAL beautiful & thoughtful post!

    SILENCE.
    If only I could convey its meaning by remaining silent….

    But convey I must. And convey I want to.
    So here are my ELEVEN on SILENCE:

    =====================
    Silence, beautiful voice.
    =====================

    =============================
    Silence is a fence around wisdom.
    =============================

    ========================================
    Be silent, or say something better than silence.
    ========================================

    ==========================================
    Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute.
    ==========================================

    ============================================
    I have often regretted my speech, never my silence.
    ============================================

    =============================================
    Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.
    =============================================

    ==============================================
    In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity.
    ==============================================

    ===============================================
    The most profound statements are often said in silence.
    ===============================================

    ========================================================
    He who does not know how to be silent will not know how to speak.
    ========================================================

    ================================================================
    It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.
    ================================================================

    =================================================================
    In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies,
    ……but the silence of our friends.
    =================================================================

    The last one is my most favourite one!

    With love & regards,

    dear amitji,

    greetings, ur post today is introspective and highlights the significance of silence in our lives, it seems u have a crystal ball, wherein u can actually see ur thoughts(literally) and then able to put them in words for us through the blog, this is extraordinaire, sir, if i may add, sometimes silence acts as a balm to heal our bruiserd egos, sir, i agree with u that silence is courage and for me the greatest example of this is my dear father who is undergoing tremendous discomfort because of his illness(CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE) but with silence on his lips, i wonder from where he gets the strength to bear so much pain, anyways, hope to see u back home soon, please do take care of ur health, best wishes and endless love for u and my dear EF/FMXT,

    Keep writing.. Shall keep reading too..

    Cheers,

    Dear Amitji,

    I am totally zapped by this post. What has registered so far is the mysterious ‘oblivion’ in red, followed by ’silence’, and then ‘demons within’ in black!:P

    Silence. My 11!

    Silence in a classroom.
    Silence as the boss enters.
    Silence in an ICU.
    Silence in a place of worship.
    Silence of death.
    Silence of the night.
    Silence when home alone.
    Silence between friends/lovers.
    Silence when Sachin hits the last ball and we dont know if he’s out or its going for a six!
    Silence after he proposes and before she accepts!
    Silence as I watch my baby sleep.

    Not philosophical, am I?! I know.:)

    Its silent as I type, but the sounds of birds chirping and curtains ruffling in the breeze is oddly soothing. Silence is most beautiful when interspersed with sounds. And even when we are thinking of silence, we did need to speak about it!

    Confused but contributing to the 900,

    Aishwarya.

  286. IRINA, RUSSIA says:

    Hi, Amitabh ji.
    Silence… A strange notion. It has ever been dual for me. Sometimes I’d like to close my eyes tightly – it’s easier for me to hear silence so, I don’t know why – and to feel: the world has grown still… or there is no world… or it is within me… or I am the world myself… It makes feel self-sufficing - or very lonely.
    And sometimes silence is frightening: the world should sound. A sound proves the world exists and your dear people are alive. Let them talk. I like talking, oral or in writing, though I realize not for all things there are words in the world.
    Nevertheless, I am grateful to you and to those members of EF who find words sounding in unison to you – and to my own thoughts…
    Regards.
    Irina, Angarsk
    PS. Phyllis, a duality again… I think you’re right and simultaneously wrong. We love our dear people in any their condition. We always find something in them to admire and to be proud of. Course!!!!! But admiring and being proud, do not we wish them all the best? Joy for example - if they are sad? Health – if they are unwell? Will you not comfort them in their difficulties? (Sure you will, judging by your attentive and benevolent 55th Filmfare Awards observations.)
    I suppose the most of those who expressed their emotions here had the best motives. But yes, we were almost cruel to the person we adore. Imagine he could read all that! It could hardly become moral support to him. It is going without saying we should learn to express our love. Quite agree with you here.

    Dearest Sir,

    When I was a student, my professor of history took us in the cinema in Lyon to watch the film of Gandhi’s life and after that we had to summarize the story.

    On day 687 an Omani described his country Oman to you and for us WOW ! a great description, thanks. Few days ago, I went to a Salon for traveling, the professionals promoted their trips and I was surprised to see news destinations : United Arab Emirates and Israel, I took some brochures of them, just to see the pictures for dreaming.

    Love
    Barka

  307. Kashmira Grewal says:

    My dearest Mr. Bachchan,

    Thank you so much, for these very insightful thoughts on silence…some of the most telling and pertinent ones I’ve come across in some time, and which gives a very balanced perspective of both, it’s pro et contra. Just adding a few more here, which I find very relevant in the present political climate in our great Country …..

    NOTEBOOK OF A NOBODY

    The appalling silence of the good people - Silence is complicity.

    “We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.”

    “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”

    ‘One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.”

    ‘History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period … was not the strident clamour of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.’

    - Martin Luther King Jr.

    Another instance I’d like to reproduce here :

    At A Veterans for Peace Convention in the US, a US soldier facing court martial for being a conscientious objector to being posted to the US army in Iraq made a statement which is worth quoting extensively in the light of both the re-interest in Martin Luther King’s civil rights movement as well as our own war situation. Lt Ehren Watada from Hawaii stated, “I have broken no law but the code of silence and unquestioning loyalty. If I am guilty of any crime, it is that I learned too much and cared too deeply for the meaningless loss of my fellow soldiers and my fellow human beings. If I am to be punished it should be for following the rule of law over the immoral orders of one man. If I am to be punished it should be for not acting sooner. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, ‘History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period … was not the strident clamour of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.’

    I wish I had been able to participate in the previous days’ debates too, which I have missed out on, unfortunately. I am in the process of undergoing a series of medical procedures, and they have completely taken the wind out of my sails as it were! My loss entirely!!

    Shall try and be here as far as I can possibly be able to, in the next couple of days too, after which, I hope I shall be able to resume my routine!

    My love and prayers for your wellness and for those of your loved ones too! Pls take care of your health and of your Self!

    With much love,
    Always,
    Kashmira

    DEAR AMIT JI,
    LIKE MANY-MANY OTHERS I AM JUST A HUGE FAN OF YOURS.
    SOMETIMES I DO WRITE YOU BUT YOU DON’T RESPOND, THATS UPSETTING.
    TODAY YOU TRIED TO WRITE SOMETHING MORE OF POSITIVE ON ’silence’
    i write my writings:
    “silence means seems to be silently accepting your fault or accepting the blame being given.”
    “silence means unable to answer softly, appropriately and comprehensively.”
    “silence simply means SHOWING YOUR DUMB INTELLIGENCE.”
    ” silence means showing that you are carrying a mission of avoiding arguing and pacifying the situation”
    ‘”yes! SILENCE IS GOLDEN WHEN YOU ARE AVOIDING TO SPEAK ABOUT TABOO MATTERS OR THINGS OR WORDS JUST TO UPKEEP THE DECENCY OF SITUATION”
    IN SHORT —– MOSTLY SILENCE MEANS A DUMB human EXPRESSION!
    NOW BACHCHAN SAHEB I GIVE YOU MY QUOTATION—-(& MY TMRRW’S SMS) …
    “WHAT YOU ARE NEVER DIES: WHAT YOU HAVE, does” ….. so use your intellect and strike d balance….. TGIF!
    PLEASE DO GET BACK TO ME IF YOU TRY TO BE HUMAN FROM SUPERHUMAN.

    Office me khush raho, ghar mein khush raho…
    Aaj paneer nahi hai, dal mein hi khush raho…
    Aaj gym jane ka samay nahi, do kadam chal ke hi khush raho…
    Aaj Dosto ka sath nahi, TV dekh ke hi khush raho…
    Ghar ja nahi sakte to phone kar ke hi khush raho…
    Aaj koi naraaz hai, uske iss andaz mein bhi khush raho…
    Jise dekh nahi sakte uski awaz mein hi khush raho…
    Jise paa nahi sakte uski yaad mein hi khush raho
    Laptop na mila to kya, Desktop mein hi khush raho…
    Bita hua kal ja chuka hai, usse meethi yaadein hai, unme hi khush raho…
    aane wale pal ka pata nahi… sapno mein hi khush raho…
    Haste haste ye pal bitaenge, aaj mein hi khush raho
    Zindagi hai choti, har pal mein khush raho

    Boy!! what is this exhaustive list on silence? & what happened between 8of the pm & 9.25of the pm too??
    I don’t about you , but I am glad I was born whenever I was born , & that is during your era!!!:):):) i sooo much enjoyed your movies during my teen years. when I heard ‘Khuda Gawah’ would be your last movie , & you would retire after that , to try out other options, I went into depression!! Now I am glad all that is in the past, & here I am actually writing to you & also getting an occasional response! I am the luckiest person on this earth!
    I hope to God that a record breaking figure will be reached this day!

    Take care,

    Dear Mr. Bachchan,
    Good Thursday morn .There has been such a creative response to your thoughts on Silence .One can look at it with so many different points of references.
    Loved the poem shared by Phyllis
    About the silent language of trees the poet writes..
    ……they sway ,deeply and loudly, in an effort
    so much less than feeling so much less than speech
    saying and saying the way things say
    on the level of that which is not yet knowledge
    Thanks Phyllis .My thoughts exactly when I look at the magnificence of trees , old and young.
    Silence is golden but it can also be a curse as pointed out by Kashmira.
    ……… the appalling silence of good people .
    You have given us much to think about.
    Hope you are well , wherever in the world you migt be .
    Love and regards.

  335. Zeta frm Dubai says:

    Respected Amitji,

    Here are some quotes, I’d like to share with you and EF,

    True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.

    Silence is the true friend that never betrays.

    An inability to stay quiet is one of the most conspicuous failings of mankind.

    Silence is a source of great strength.

    Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment.

    In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in an clearer light, and what deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.

    Silence was never written down.

    Nature and silence go better together.

    You can hear the footsteps of God when silence reigns in the mind.

    Silence is the mother of truth.

    There are times when silence has the loudest voice.

    Speech is silver, silence is golden

    Love you Sirji,
    Zeta




  336. Bratisankar Ghosh says:

    The twelfth one:

    Silence is the motherland of great souls ……..

    Thus spake one of my heroes - an angel, God had sent in the form of a Belgian priest who gave his life in the services of the poor and downtrodden of India. A man whose passion was building the characters of his students. A tireless worker who spent the last twenty plus years of his life in the leper villages of Bengal. Our dearest ‘Mamu’ - may his soul rest in peace.

  339. Ramanathan says:

    Dear Amitji,

    Eloquence thy name is AB :) Beautiful lines on Silence. Since you choose to be vague about your wherabouts, I presume that the still quiet and peace of this retreat that you are in, influences your thinking. It is necessary that you do spend time with yourself often like this because even in earlier occassions (your Singapore hiatus is a case in point) we saw some great constructs of thoughts evolve over such solicitude. Today is no exception. Thank you Sir from the bottom of my heart.

    The need of common bonding causes for a community to focus and progress is probably one of the models which have delivered consistently but does this make it the only choice? Even for the hardworking and intelligent Japs, a total catastrophe had become a prerequisite to seed this collective ambition of growth. The consequential horror of pain and prejudice that an unfortunate section of the diaspora go through in living through the precursor of disaster makes it avoidable. That brings us to the steady but seemingly selfish strides the individual takes in pursuit of his betterment and at times the society derives benefit more as a by product. I see very little harm in this structure primarily because it ensures the ‘test piloting’ of the person before it is adapted for the society thus mitigating risks of failure; we have seen revolutions in nations fed by the tyranny of one set of oppressors which result in handing over the reins to a different set of rulers which disappoint and rudely shock the populace with only more oppression and pain. Therefore, while the collective goal is a nice concept, it is the fabric of the destinated state that decides if it is ideal or not. We can see the wrath unleashed by many nations which encourage religious fanatism as the undertone of the national ideal. End of the day Sirji, wether individual or collective, anything that hurts nature and its components will not survive in the long run.

  349. Adi ( Aditi) says:

    Dear Amitji,

    Just a mail forwaded by my friend on Harsh words..so sharing with all of EF

    A woman bought eggs and butter from a farmer who had a fine reputation not only for the quality of his products, but also for his promptness of delivery. Then one day, when she was expecting guests, he failed to come. On the next delivery, she spoke harshly to him. At the end of her tirade he said quietly, “I’m sorry if I caused you any inconvenience, but I had the misfortune of burying my mother yesterday.”

    Ashamed, the woman determined never to speak harshly to anyone again until she fully understood the cause of the delay.

    sometimes silence is neccessary…

    it depends how you use it.. as sometimes it is considered to be our weakness,guilt, strenght ..it is better to use Silence according to the situation….and though Silence is neccessary ,,,but sometimes ur loved one may not understand and we have problems but i believe that good friends and loved ones will understand whether u are silent or speak and know ur love and affection for u…..:)

    Love ,
    Aditi (W.Africa)

    P.S - Dear Amitabh Zibbu and Zainab where are you both silent??? where are you ??????

    Amitji

    There seems to campaign by the same group. This time about “Cadbury” . The article goes on to say how the chocolate got involved in controversy after worms were found. So to boost its image you were fielded which has worked wonders for the brand.
    It is by a very renowned journalist may be a personal friend of yours.

    Your association might have given the brand a positive image. But the article by reviving the “worm story” has tried to bring some controversy to the episode.

    My humble request to you would be to be very careful while endorsing brands in larger public interest.

    Don’t know whether any conscious attempt has been made to improve quality after your association

    Dear Amitabh Sir
    Congrats for the life time achievement award which you are going to receive in Muscat.
    Also many congrats for the best actor award for ‘Paa’.
    Last weekend I watched ‘Paa’ in the television. I really liked your character of ‘Auro’ in the movie. It was so amazing to see you in different roles even at this age wherein actors may not like to experiment like the way you are doing.Even the voice of yours was totally changed. I was totally glued to the tv for the entire length of the film so as my parents. Me and my parents planned wanted to watch the movie in theatres in chennai but unfortunately because of professional commitments I could not do so or take my parents . Even after almost a week after watching movie , I cannot stop thinking about the movie, your acting as well as that of Vidya Balan , Abhishek and Arundhathi nag.
    Sir I have almost watched all your movies till date . Right from the angry young men in Zanzeer to Auro in Paa, the transformation is really fantastic.After seeing you in ‘Paa’ , my admiration for you only increases manifold. Literally everyone in family had tears in their eyes during the climax of ‘Paa’. I think I will never bored watching ‘Paa’ even after 100 times. With all sincerity and from bottom of my heart I salute you with folded hands for entertaining us for the last 40 years. Sir , you are truly an inspirational figure for me.

    Best Regards
    Karthik Krishnaraj

    CAN WE MAKE 900 TODAY FOR AMITJI ?????




  374. Jasmine of London says:

    Good afternoon my dearest Mr Bachchan,

    Hoping you are very well and yesterday’s state of absolute oblivion has yielded to brightness and clarity of mind.

    It would be natural to shelter behind silence at times when the world becomes too invasive. Being in a position where everything about you disseminates through the public domain, your words and your right to remain silent is one of the few things you can control. Dignified silences (as the media so regularly charge you with implementing) are the most sensible course of action during conflict and controversy when oftentimes needless commentary merely adds fuel to an already heated situation. Silence is even more sensible when you simply need space to ‘be’ yourself for a while before being thrust back into public duty. It’s not at all a selfish desire for you; but a necessary sanctuary that you should execute as regularly as required!!

    There were some responses yesterday questioning your recent introspective phase over your career and I’m fairly certain the good and evil coexisting remark you allude to stems from there. In my opinion your blogs are oftentimes a cathartic release of such internal variances that surface from time to time in ALL of us; rather than simply being a lucent expression of your internal condition - although at times your writing can encompass that too. Overcoming the evil within, the hauteur or the human ego is a life long struggle that very few conquer entirely. Considering the ludicrously prominent stature you carry in public life I have always maintained that your character is utterly irreproachable and cannot be faulted for your perception of ‘humankind’, which should be more important than our ‘self-perception’.

    Unfortunately negative opinions have a tendency to entrench the psyche more profoundly than the opposite, which is perhaps the reason such comments impact and move you to retaliate. And that is fine as long as you are retaliating to correct a slanderous accusation. But I always plead with you and always will not allow negative perceptions to become embedded any further than that. If ‘brother B’ wants to sermonise on his own platform than he shall!

    Your secrecy regarding your precise location in the Universe doesn’t have me too intrigued on this occasion; I only hope you are enjoying some anonymity before celebrations in Muscat this weekend. I am quite excited on your behalf, its such an unusual location so please don’t retain details of your stay there, will you!!

    Above all I do hope you exhaustion, jet lag have ebbed away in good time for you to enjoy yourself. Wishing you a peaceful evening for the moment as I am dashing off to lunch. Look after yourself my dearest Mr Bachchan.

    As always my love to you,

    Jasmine
    xx

    Amitabh Bachchan has expressed his willingness to become a brand ambassador of Kerala tourism.

    Responding to an offer made by the state, Bachchan has, in a letter to Tourism Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, said the offer was good and he would like to discuss further on the matter, official sources told PTI.

    In an interview to a Malaylam TV channel, the megastar had said he was only too keen to be the ambassador of the state he loved.

    Expressing gratitude for Bachchan’s gesture, Balakrishnan in his letter had said the government would like to hold further talks with the actor who is also the brand ambassador of Gujarat on the matter.

    Legendary Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan has accepted the Kerala government’s request to become the state’s brand ambassador to promote tourism, state Tourism Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said on Thursday. One of the most sought-after icons in advertising, the actor has earlier been seen in the same role for Gujarat Tourism.

    The new development was a fallout of his last visit to the state, when he expressed his desire to endorse the visual beauty of Kerala. Hearing this, Kodiyeri Balakrishnan sent a letter to Amitabh via ace cinematographer Santhosh Sivan, who is in the close contact with the actor.

    “Yesterday, I got his letter stating he is willing to become the brand ambassador and is prepared to start a dialogue. I have asked the Tourism director to have a discussion in this regard,” said Balakrishnan.

All our efforts to find my space, my chance, my best…..and more my’s could be towards that. let embrace the desire, it might take us to the right door.

  380. Saratchandra says:

    Abhishek Bachchan, the handsome hunk of bollywood and husband of gorgeous Aishwarya Rai who became the new ambassador of WWF’s Earth Hour for year 2010, has urged all his colleagues in the film industry not to shoot for films between 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm on March 27 to save electricity.

    The dashing scion of first family of bollywood also said that he would establish an example by his own conduct and will not shoot during that period. Not only this, AB Baby went a step further and promised that his father Amitabh Bachchan and wife Aishwarya Rai, too, would participate in the campaign and switch off the lights during that period on March 27.

    Abhishek expects his fans all over the country to not only canvass for this noble cause but also practice themselves on the appointed day. In fact, the concept of Earth hour, which had originated in Sydney, Australia, in year 2007, has been steadily gaining momentum and attracting more and more people from all walks of life. Last year, Delhi was able to save around 700 MW of electricity on this day.

    Abhishek Bachchan stressed the need for saving electricity by lessening its use, which in turn will help reduce the danger to our earth from Global warming. This year fifteen cities of the country are scheduled to take part in this campaign in a big way and that include the financial capital city of Mumbai, political capital Delhi and garden city of Bangalore.

    In any case, Abhishek Bachchan has always been in the forefront of campaign that involved social causes and this brand ambassadorship of WWF only strengthens his image further. He has always been the one actor who wants to contribute his might towards the betterment of society and word at large..

  387. Valorie Adams says:

    Dearest Mr. Bachchan, Sir,
    After work Wednesday, yesterday, I stopped by a ‘Second-Hand’ bookstore that just opened up in my town…Like I always do in bookstores, I was checking out the ‘World Travel’ area for books on India…you will absolutely NEVER guess what I found!!!!! In Panama City Beach, Florida, USA, in a USED book store, no less…I found a wonderfully huge, full-color picture book entitled:
    “ENCHANTING OMAN” by Shirley Kay… Can you even believe that? I CAN’T!!!
    It was priced at $2.99 but because it was Wednesday????? It was 25% off…
    so I got that book for $2.24 plus tax…how lucky am I? I think it was
    ‘meant to be’ so I could see exactly where it is that you’re going to be next.
    This book was printed by ‘Emirates Printing Press’ in Dubai in 1988…so it’s a bit old but Oman is REALLY old-ER…I’m guessing not much has changed since 1988…except maybe the first 8″ X 10″ photograph showing ‘His Majesty, Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al-Said’…a very handsome fellow for sure, but maybe he’s not Sultan anymore…I’ll Google it at some point and find out. ANYWAY…this book is just LOADED with photos and info all about the Kingdom of Oman…and Muscat, the capital…ha ha ha…see? I learned that from this book! Go ahead…ask me some questions…I dare you…ha ha ha… :P fun! There are beautiful photos of men wearing traditional dress complete with their
    ‘KHANJAR’ hooked thru their belts…guess you already know what those are…I didn’t…and there are photos of women wearing the burqa and some NOT…it’s allowed there…”The majority of Omani women wear very colourful clothes arranged in loose and flowing layers. The reds, oranges and ochres of their gowns make a briliant splash of colour in the old streets of the inland towns and in the fields and palm groves.” There are photos of ‘fine merchant houses’ on Muttrah Corniche…the ‘Sultan Qaboos University’ near Seeb…the Fort Jalali…
    Fort Merani…a fishing village of Bustan Bay…the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries building…the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building…the old town of Sohar…the ruins of Qalhat…the great fort of Nakhl on the Jebel Akhdar…
    WOW…WOW…that is really a site to see! Oh my gosh, FRANKINCENSE TREES!
    WHO KNEW??? Wow…I never saw THOSE before! 700 years ago, Marco Polo wrote: “The trees are like small fir trees; they are notched with a knife in several places and from these notches the incense is exuded. Sometimes also it flows from a tree without any notch; that is by reason of the great heat of the sun there.” Today only a little is collected; it is used both for incense and for perfumes…I love perfumes… :P and then there’s a picture of a droplet of frankincense resin oozing from a branch when the bark is removed…wow. AH HA! There’a a picture of a guy wearing a lunghi standing next to a camel! Seen one of THOSE before…yours was nicer than this one…Mr. Bachchan, have you ever seen a ‘yir’ before??? Well, I have…ha…Oh my gosh, this book ends discussing ‘Tourism in Oman’ and telling all about the sparkling swimming pools that welcome the visitor to Oman’s pleasant motels…never saw that coming.
    WHOA! They got some seriously BIG hotels there! The Al Bustan Palace Hotel..
    The Muscat Holiday Inn…The Oman Sheraton…what?…The Gulf Hotel…
    The Seeb Novotel…okay…that settles it…I’m gonna visit Oman, too.
    Thanks for introducing me to ‘The Kingdom of Oman’.
    Seriously, love you…just so you know.

  391. Daksha says:

    Dear Sir,

    I think it is a gift, particularly for those who rush through their lives trying to keep up pace with people and places and deeds and things…to enter a trans where you are by yourself in the world of silence. A world of serenity, of tranquility with no sound, no activities, no demands, no rush…just own thoughts and vision. I did say the other day that those in the field of creativity are known to travel into this mode of existence from time to time.

    These eleven aspects of silence as you perceive it are very interesting. It appears you have studied the subject at close range and whatever little I understood from it I agree with it. Babu ji would have turned these thoughts into a lovely poem. You could have shown this Post to him and he would have given you ten on ten and a big hug! I think as much as we learn about silence there is much more it could reveal about itself in favourable conditions. Yes it is an impregnable fortress that will always guard and protect those that seek shelter in it away from the hustle and the bustle of the environment. I have often felt a sense of complete peace and security whenever I have been overwhelmed by it and in fact that is what I look forward to at the end of each day…the moment when I can just glide into it in gravity-free weightlessness with no pain or fear or insecurities whatsoever. I think sometimes even when we are surrounded by noise and activities it is providing a gentle assurance of its existence now and again.

    You talk about democracy and the need for the citizens to have a common goal in order to realise our dreams…I think we as a country have already achieved what was unthinkable, unimaginable at one time.. we are a Power to reckon with. I think it is nothing short of a miracle what we have achieved collectively…may we continue to make progress slowly but surely. God bless the Nation.

    Love,
    Daksha

    Few quotes for those who miss someone special :-

    1.. A goodbye isn’t painful unless you’re never going to say hello again..

    2.. Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it’s one day further from the last time you saw each other, it’s one day closer to the next time you will. ..:)

    3.. The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. ~Nicholas Sparks..

    4…Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair. ~William Cowper

    5..No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other’s worth. ~Robert Southey

    Dearest Amitji,

    I was totally awe with todays post… What a post and what a way of writing it and expressing each and everything so minutely and well organised ! Hats of too Sarkar and thats why I say, you are my role model and icon in my life ! I simply love you for what you are and not what u will be !!!

    Yes!!! I totally agree Silence is what you have mentioned in todays blog. It is the strongest weapon in the world and no one can dare to touch it… Thats why its called “Dhakisnamurthi” another name for Lord Siva. With his silence the inner souls and outer souls are answered ! Everything we will come to our past, present and future existence that prevails. It answers everything whatever solution we are looking for it… Silence is the power, its the strongest communication I have ever felt with it… You cant kill a person with a sword but with silence, “YES”…. you can make that person kill into thousand pieces and at the same time, the Same so called “SILENCE” can give you moksa !!!

    Absolutely right Sarkar, first we need to fight with our internal demon and then go for outside demon! There is so much to resolve within ourselves, I really dont understand that why people fight for small things… Well person who knows about the concept and meaning of Silence will take his/her life to next level !

    Without acknowledging my near&dear FmXt, my comments in the blog will be always incomplete and they are - Manish Parmar, Shankar, Archana[Bengaluru], Mousumi, Aishwarya, Vandana Bhatt, Manoj Kumar Ojha, Zainab, Archana Detroit, Pawan Pipalwa, Vijaya, Sanjith, Mukul Bunglore, Valorie Adams, Somanath Misra, Abhaya, Renate, Sharmila, Daisy M, Naresh Bhatt, Jasmine Jaywant, Mrs G.A.

    Dearest, Most Wonderful Mr. Bachchan,
    Want to know the other books I found at that ’second-hand’ bookstore yesterday? Okay…I’ll tell you…and thanks so much for asking… :P

    1) “INDIA…Around the World Program” by the American Geographical Society.
    Its a tiny book printed in 1957…got it for .75 cents…so cool.
    2) “The Wisdom Of China and India” edited by Lin Yutang. Big, hard-back
    book from…omigosh…1942…well, guess ‘Wisdom’ can’t become outdated.
    3) “Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert…the movie version is being released
    here pretty soon…why aren’t you in this movie, Mr. Bachchan? Why?
    I read in my ‘India Abroad’ newspaper that some of it was filmed right there
    in your own backyard…This book was $4.99 less 25%…
    4) A HUGE Rand McNally ‘World Atlas’…$2.99 less 25%… way cool…
    5) “Great Buildings Of the World”…by the editors of TIME…are these people
    in kahoots with those ‘Times of India’ people? If so, I may have to BURN
    this book after I look at the pictures and take a few notes…Guess what
    building is on the front??? Yep, it’s that ‘Burg-Al-Arab Hotel’ in Dubai…
    It’s all lit up at night…fanTAStic! $5.99 less 25%…but I’ll still burn it if
    necessary…and spit into the flames.
    6) “The World’s Greatest Hotels, Resorts and Spas - 2008 Edition” by Travel
    and Leisure Magazine…big, hardback book filled with beautiful photos
    from around the world…There are write-ups about The Oberoi Rajvilas of
    Jaipur…The Mahua Kothi of Madhya Pradesh…The Imperial of New Delhi.
    Plus lots more places in India…also $5.99 less 25%…see, if I save this
    25% on all these books…I can visit these spas…yeah, right…
    Anyway, thought you might like to know what I do in my spare time at night, when I’m not writing to you on this Blogji…I’m dreaming about far away
    places…and you…

    am dumbstruck to silence….till the next




  403. RAVI P MALHOTRA says:

    Dear Amitji, Good Evening. I read your post many times during the day and morning. I tried writing something with silence at core of my heart and each time I felt ‘Suraj ko roshni kyu dikhani’. I cancelled the written matter and decided to maintain golden silence. It is communion in silence where the agreement with the person you love and respect is total.
    I spent the day as a holiday with a short visit to work place. Now back after a round of mainstreet and usual masala dosa and filter coffee. Silence continued and I could not think of writing a comment. May be silence has no words. I must admit silence is also like a mass. When mass is slightly destroyed there is tremendous energy released from it. So is silence preoccupation of tremendous mental energy. Maun vrata also gives energy of doing more subsequently.
    People may write any suggestions on the blog but the final decision remains with you only. I also thought of my retirement once or twice in last few days. Frankly I had no answere to many of my personal commitments and my final decision was work and work till it is possible and feasible.
    Have a wonderful day and hope the silence was very fruitful and energetic. Me too feel the silence has given me a new direction. Sometimes silence streamlines life like a silent procession. Hope we have larger purposes yet to achieve and whatever done till date only can be obsoleted so that our best comes alive. As long as life is there one should strive for the best.

    Before the Day concludes, I must make a light-hearted confession regarding this profoundly philosophical post, which has had me stifling giggles all day every time I think of you referring to yourself as ‘Brother B’! Even as the best actor in the world, somehow imagining you as a man of the cloth is nothing more than amusing! I can’t think what may have made you write it but, if this is a preview of your next role, I suppose I will just have to get used to it…

    More love to you & I hope, beyoond reason, you have enjoyed a restful day that has been of benefit, Jasmine xx

    Not sure if you would read this…I am 41 and still die hard fan of yours.

    During my childhood I had one audio cassette with me Amitabh’s electrifying dialogs (T series.. not sure if it was legal). We used to enjoy that very much. It gave us much more entertainment than these days DVDs.

    I like your brief dialog in Lal Badshah (role of the father) warning goons.

    Dearest Amitji,i thought you would have broken your MAUN VRAT oops silence mantra..it sometimes appears you are in search of somethin hidden somewhere and you with all your might can’t find it ,even within yourself.This search for peace ,happiness,contenment is underlying motive behind all our pursuits in our life.are you guided by some instinct for this so called silence trip or your intellect…need to answer this …please
    we all are struggling constantly to regain our true nature..need a true mirror to fix all things within ourselves…the search is on …ongoing…in search of you …vikas




  423. adeshpal s romana says:

    you try your best amit ji ! there is great love for you as a person, even in my heart. i respect your abstract chain of thought in the above blog. it was very moving to discover the spirit behind “my favorite hero of childhood- lamboo”. reading your views about ’silence’ was like actually seeing experiences,that are fresh in my mind, be defined. Thankyou for being so kind and resourceful to all of us who read your blog.
    I learnt from Nietsche, a German philosopher, that this cannot be achieved with the limited and biased resources that we possess, unlike nature. This state would be one in which we are so stoic that we become like nature and unlike life.

    307 Kashmira Grewal Thank you for your insightful comment related to Mr. Bachchan’s silence motif. As always, you gave us something inspiring and relevant to think about.

    Dear uncle,

    How are you doing?I hope to have found you as healthy as you could be….

    When are you returning back to Prateeksha.Its been really long that we saw you writing from there.

    Following is a wonderful editorial published in a local daily here in Saudi Arabia

    As Muslim, why are you not terrorist?’
    By Fahad Al-Abri

    AN English friend of mine asked me about the relation between Islam and terrorism. He could not understand why as a Muslim I was not a terrorist. In his opinion, as he told me later, I either was not a true Muslim or there was something wrong about the perception he was brought up with regarding Islam and Muslims. His notions were strengthened after the 9/11 attacks. These attacks were carried out by terrorists who unfortunately happened to be Muslim. So the only plausible explanation my friend found for my being tolerant was that I was not a true Muslim.
    “Fahad can I ask you a question?” he said in a soft voice, once while having dinner. “Sure,” I replied. “I do not understand how you are Muslim and yet denounce terrorism, while other Muslims commit acts of terrorism?”
    I replied saying that good and bad people are found in every community. Adherents of every religion have both radicals and moderates among them. In the Qur’an and the Prophet’s Sunnah there is no place for radicalism or terrorism. Hence, Muslims who follow Islam correctly see terrorism as a crime against humanity. Islam is a peaceful religion. The word Islam itself comes from the word “peace.” God commands believers to bring peace and security in the world, not the opposite. We consider Islamic teachings as the cure for terrorism, and not the source of it.
    The source of terrorism is radicalism that has little to do with Islam. Radicalism is not the approach God has legislated. We are demanded by the Qur’an to be loving and soft-spoken people, who shun conflicts and arguments. Not only this, we are also asked to approach hostile people with warmth and friendship. The story of Moses and Aaron in reference to the Pharaoh of Egypt is a good example. In spite of the enmity between the two parties, God ordered the two prophets as follows: “Go, both of you, to Fir’aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed (all bounds). And speak to him mildly, perhaps he may accept admonition or fear Allah.” (Qur’an, 20:43-44)
    Despite Pharaoh’s cruelties towards the Children of Israel and his denial of God, God commanded his prophets to speak to him gently.
    There are many such examples of how prophets behaved with others and Muslims have been commanded to follow them. The Qur’an holds all prophets with high regard. Let’s look at the description of Abraham in the Qur’an: “Verily Ibrahim was tender-hearted and forbearing.” (Qur’an, 9:114)
    The Qur’an also says about Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him):
    “And by the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently. And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you; so pass over (their faults), and ask (Allah’s) Forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affairs. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah, certainly, Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him). “ (Qur’an, 3: 159 )
    There is another verse that emphasizes this fact:
    “And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed, all of them together. So, will you (O Muhammad, peace be upon him) then compel mankind, until they become believers.” (Qur’an, 10:99)
    Accordingly, moderate Muslims, who are the majority, do not have hatred for other peoples. They believe there is no coercion in faith or to become Muslims. No one can force people to worship God. The only thing we do is tendering advice.
    For all that has been said, Muslims must stand against terrorism and terrorist groups. Because Islam is the religion of life and terrorism is the doctrine of death.
    My English friend was impressed. He said, “It is the first time I have come to know about Islam that is so different from what the Taleban and Al-Qaeda have been preaching.” – SG

  429. Magdalena says:

    Dear Mister Bachchan,

    it’s alarming: Some of my pupils can’t endure silence! They are frightened because of this situations. In my school lessons I often insert phases of silence, for me and for the children.The reason for the behaviour of the children is the volume which surrounds them the whole day long! Silence is unfortunately absent! So they can’t handle silence…
    How dubious!

    With all my love and the wish for a good night,

    Magdalena

    RESPECTED AND RESPECTABLE MR.AMITABH BACHAN A VERY HAPPY AND PEACEFULL
    NEW YEAR TO U AND UR WHOLE FAMILY.

    AND A VERY HAPPY HOLY AND A VERY GOOD MORNING ,GOOD AFTER-NOON AND GOOD
    EVENING TO U ALL.

    MAY UR PARENTS AND ANCESTORS GET MUKTI AND PEACE.

    BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR UR FATHER AND MOTHER .

    MR. BACHAN DONT WORRY ABT THE PERIOD WHICH U HAVENT SEEN .
    THE DATE U WERE BORN ON ,WAS THE PERFECT AND THE BEST DATE AND DAY
    FOR U TO TAKE BIRTH.

    GOD’S PLAN DONT GO WRONG FOR ANY ONE ANYWHERE.

    TODAY,ONE OF UR PAST INCARNATION SECRET WILL BE REVEALED HERE
    SO AS TO MAKE U BELIEVE THAT THE TRUTH IS DEEPER THEN U HAVE
    ANY DAY IMAGINED.
    I CAN REVEAL EVERYTHING BUT THIS IS NOT THE WAY AND NOT THE
    PLATFORM TO LET THE PIPER START.
    I KNOW IT IS HARD TO TRUST ,BUT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

    IF U HAD BEEN AVAILABE DURING THE 2 WAR OR SO,DO U THINK U WOULD HAVE BEEN
    WRITTING THESE REGRETS NOW?

    I KNOW WHAT U MEANT BY THAT .
    U R THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL.HENCE ,UR GREATNESS TRIES TO REVEAL ITSELF
    HERE OR THERE.
    WHICH IS NOT AT ALL WRONG.
    AS LIGHT IS GREATER THEN A BULB AND SO IT DOESNT REMAIN IN THE BOUNDRIES
    OF THE BULB.INSTEAD IT ALWAYS SPREADS EVERYWHERE.
    THATS THE GREATNESS OF LIGHT.

    SO IS UR GREATNESS.

    PLEASE TRUST WHATEVER U READ HERE.BECAUSE I AM NOT GOING TO WRITE MUCH HERE.
    AS THE SOCIETY DOESNT OPT FOR THE TRUTH.
    SO U R HERE GIVEN THE GLANCE OF THE TRUTH ABT U.

    THE CURRENT FAMILY OF URS IS THE ORIGINAL FAMILY WHICH REMAINED WITH U
    IN ALL OF UR INCARNATIONS.
    U R ALL GREATS.

    U NEED TO CALM URSELF AND WAIT FOR THE RIGHT TIME WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY
    VERY CLOSE,WHEN U AND UR FAMILY WILL KNOW WHAT THEY SHOULD TO
    KNOW THEMSELVES BETTER .AND ALSO U WILL BE ABLE TO DO UR PART FOR
    DHARMA ESTABLISHMENT,NEARBY.SO NO REGRETS ,WHATSO EVER.

    U WERE A VERY GREAT KING DURING THE RAMAYANA PERIOD ,UR SON WAS
    THE YUVRAJ OF UR KINGDOM AISHWARYA RAI BACHAN WAS THEN ALSO ABHISHEK’S
    WIFE,BUT HER AND ALL OF UR NAMES WERE OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT.
    JAYA JI WAS UR WIFE.SHE WAS A WELL KNOWN QUEEN AS U WERE A WELL KNOWN
    GREAT KING.
    U ALL WERE BRAVE PEOPLE.

    SO, TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE FACT ABT WHY U R MR. AMITABH BACHAN AND NOT
    ANY ONE ELSE.

    KEEP CHANTING ONE NAME .
    GOD IS ONE ,U HAVE ALREADY PICKED ONE OF HIS NAMES SO RESPECT ALL,PRAY TO
    ONE.
    REMEMBER,HANUMAN RESPECTED ALL BUT PRAYED TO ONLY ONE,U KNOW WHO.
    EXAMPLES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE ,ITS JUST NO ONE TRIED TO UNDERSTAND THEM.

    ANOTHER EXAMPLE JUST FOR U-

    IF SOME ONE IS IN A DARK PLACE OR SOME PLACE WHERE HE WILL NEED A HAND
    OF A HELP TO COME OUT,AND THEN MANY PEOPLE LEY THERE HANDS SO HE COULD
    GRAB ONE OF THEM AND COME OUT.TELL ME ,WOULD OR SHOULD THAT MAN TRY TO
    GRAB ALL THOSE HANDS TO MAKE A GESTURE OF THANKSGIVING THAT THEY ALL
    AGREED TO HELP HIM.
    WOULD HE BE ABLE TO GRAB ALL OF THOSE HANDS AND COME OUT?
    U KNOW IT .NO.

    BECAUSE ONE CAN GRAB ONLY ONE HAND PERFECTLY AT A TIME.IF HE WANTS TO COME OUT.
    OR ELSE BECAUSE OF THE GESTURE OF THANKS GIVING ,HE WILL REMAIN THERE .
    IF U WANT ALL ACCEPT ONENESS OF THEM ALL.
    U PIC ONE AND THEY R ALL IN IT.
    OTHERWISE ,KEEP ON MAKING ALL HAPPY, THERE WERE 33 CRORE DEVI DEVTAAS
    LONG AGO ,NOW THAY HAVE ADDED TO MANY MORE AS PER THE ALL RELIGIONS
    TELL.
    WOULD U LIKE TO THANK EACH ONE ,OR UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH THAT THEY R ONE.
    WHEN U PIC ONE.
    GOD KNOWS UR FEELINGS ITS U WHO HAS TO KNOW UR OWN NOW.
    ITS A VALID FREE OFFER.
    BUY ONE GET ALL FREE.
    OR BUY ALL LOOSE ALL.
    MAYA ME MAT FASO.
    DUNIYA KE FELAYE MITHYACHARO KO TYAG DO,SACHAI WO HAI JO EASILY SAMAJH
    ME A JAYE .BHAGVAAN PAHELI NAHI HAI.
    WO SARALTAM HAI USE KATHINTAM MAT BANAIIYE.

    USE HOLY WATER FROM CHURCH IN SPRINKLING ,DRINKING AND BATHING,LIKE
    PEOPLE DO WITH GANGAJAL.
    IF U BELIEVE .DONT WEAR ANY AMULETS OR RINGS AT ALL.
    INSTEAD ,PRAY OR PERFORM HAVANS .
    THE BEST IS DO UR OWN HAVANS AND PUJAS.
    TRUTI HO TO KOI BAAT NAHI.
    IT GIVES HIGHEST RESULTS.
    TAKE EXAMPLES OF THE TRUE DEVOTEES ,AS WRITTEN IN THE SCRIPTURES -
    RAMAYANA,MAHABHARATA,OR SO ON.
    ANY QUARRIES -MAIL AT-neo_knows_verywell@yahoo.com

    soon u will get to know more and then more…
    u will get the ph no when required.

    as per the industri work-

    why dont u try Abhishek and uday chopra for a sequel of sholey.
    Abhi is well set to play all the roles which u played in ur 20s 30s
    movies .as deevar ,zanjeer,sholey,chupke chupke,and so on.

    uday will make people remember of the then dharmendra ji.
    as he is that joly and happening.
    and Abhi has already proved it with uday in dhoom movies.

    aishwarya raibachan will do sure justice to jaya ji’s role.
    as she has proved her mature nature in the movie-guru.

    sanjeev ji’s role should be offered to the great-dilip kumar ji.
    for gabbar u should surely look for a healthy new actor through
    auditions.
    as amjad ji also was then new.

    location should be kept as it was -a village look.
    rajpal yadav should be givan the role of either the great jagdeep ji
    or the great asrani ji.

    u can include the great johny leeevar for one of the comedians role,
    as for the jailer.

    Abhi and uday will have to just carry on from where they left in dhoom movies
    ,here just the set is going to be new.

    abhi should do the roles which otherwise u would have done in ur 20s
    and 30s and so on all the way.

    if u do any of the alladin sequels ,which is right-then try the great
    kadar khan ji as the villen.

    if some one makes amar,akbar,anthony-try john abrahem as -amar,ranbir
    kapoor as-akbar,Abhishek as -anthony.

    Dear Sir,
    I have read most of your posts, maybe not regularly but read them all. I have a question i read about ur middle class upbringing and i find it surprised for the people who were able to study or get education in those times are mostly the rich. and i feel you are very lucky.




  434. Ramya says:

    Hello Sir,

    From todays post i can just help u with the significance of your dreams, if possible please find the details below:

    Mother
    To see your mother in your dream, represents the nurturing aspect of your own character. Mothers offer shelter, comfort, life, guidance and protection. Some people may have problems freeing themselves from their mothers and are thus seeking their own individuality and development.

    To dream that you are having a conversation with your mother, denotes a matter that has preoccupied your mind and you are not sure how to deal with it in your waking life. It indicates unresolved problems that still need to be worked out with your mother.

    To hear your mother call you in our dream, signifies that you have been negligent in your duties and responsibilities. You are pursuing down the wrong path.

    -Sushma.

    Oh God. You go on and on and on ! I do read the blog once in a while. It used to be interesting. Now its like you are pontificating ! I think you are just writing with one objective in mind - that this will be made into a classic (book) sometime. Like the literary gems of your father.

    I like you - but stop preaching - and just be yourself !

    if one has to bring change one has to be the change … and AB’s writings are the change ..
