Happy Gudi Padwa to all
Happy Ugadi
And a prosperous New Year ..
From the Tuesday of this month will begin the first day of the Vikram Samvat 2067. The first day of the month of Chaitra is celebrated as Gudi Padwa, Ugadi or Cheti Chand, marking the new year for several Hindu communities across the country. The Chaitra Navratra or the nine day worship of the Mother Goddess also begins on this day.
May this new year bring happiness and joy to all, prosperity and good health and above all peace and fulfillment.
My sincere thank you’s to all the ET for their very generous greetings for Shweta on her birthday and for remembering to wish and greet her. Shweta my first born and the first born of this generation of the family. Had a part to play in the ‘Sholay’. She was in her Mother’s womb when Jaya and me worked together on the film. The scene when I go to return the keys of the safe the next morning after she has caught us trying to steal the cash, has Jaya pregnant with Shweta !!
Ok … so a lesson has been learnt ! Never talk too soon ! Talked yesterday on how positivity had changed my condition and how fantastic I was feeling … hmm .. rubbish ! Nothing worked today ! Ha .. The pain was back, gym was a torture and an entire day spent in lamenting the uselessness of life. Nothing to discourage readers or to deflate their enthusiastic reactions to yesterdays blog, but … ya … just feel when you talk about it, it does not work. Better to do, than to open your mouth about it.
Many would disagree though. Not speaking up, a sign of weakness they would proclaim. But in this instance, I would rather go with what I have generally felt. We must do, others to talk on what we do. And its not important that what we do is talked about. So long as the reason for what we do, are taken in beneficially to the person for whom we do. Cause and reason should know. Not who contributed to the cause or reason. Better this way.
How wasteful is life when you have nothing to do. How insincere one feels, how helpless and inadequate. One must keep doing. Does not matter whether it is big or small, just keep doing it. Someday someone shall recognize it. Credit is not what one would want to look for. The quality and intensity of the work is important. Credit becomes personal, individual. It shall remain within one, whereas the work done should be devoid of that individuality, should be more universal and all encompassing, including and identifiable with the common man or woman. For their benefit and well being.
VK Murthy, the ace cinematographer has been awarded the Dada Sahib Phalke Award this year. The highest honor reserved for the film fraternity by the establishment. Generally and till now, mostly it has been given to decorate better known stars and directors, never a technician. This has been a departure and therefore I am all praise for the award being bestowed on VK Murthy, a generous kind and humble human, one with whom I had the great pleasure of working in two films - Nastik and Ram Balram. But I do not consider myself worthy of his genius. His most important works I believe were in films made by another genius, Guru Dutt.
‘Kaagaz ke Phool’, ‘Pyaasa’, ‘Sahib Biwi aur Ghulam’, ‘Chaudhavin ka Chand’ are some of the films that come to mind. Who can forget the mystic lighting for the song ‘waqt ne kiya …’ in ‘Kaagaz ke Phool’ or that close up of Waheeda Rehman in ‘Pyaasa’ as she looks up towards Guru Dutt on the balcony of the theatre as he sings ‘ye duniya agar mil bhi jaye…’. Or how can we ever find a substitute to that immortal song and moment in SBAG, when Meena Kumari tries to prevent her husband played by Rehman from leaving her at night, with the words ‘na jaao saiyan ..’. The lyricism of that moment and the fluidity of the camera as it remains only on the closeup and mid closeups of the two lead characters for the entire song. Performance, music, lyrics, camera all moving in sync with the mood of the moment and keeping the audience enraptured throughout. Amazing ! Try doing that now ! Ha … unless you have a million dancers, dazzling dresses, electronic light effects and dance movements as though the players have been hit by 440 volts, the audience shall never sit through it. But they did in the past and without all the paraphernalia.
And it was technicians like VK Murthy that deftly captured those moments for posterity eternally. It would take him sometimes an entire day or two days to take a single shot ! That was the level of dedication and importance given. Sadly, absent from today’s times.
When we at IIFA gave him the Lifetime Achievement Award some years ago, I met him backstage as he sat quietly waiting for his name to be announced. Tears filled his eyes as I extended my congratulations to him, for, he could not believe that he as a ‘mere technician’ was being honored.
Our lives shall always be enriched by the humility and greatness of such individuals, whose contribution to the art of cinema shall always remain inspirational and worthy of emulation.
To bed then and with the hope that it shall be more comforting than the two previous nights …
love and love ..
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

A great victory for Mumbai Indians today. Sachin and Tiwary were ab fab.
Tomorrow marks what would have been my late father’s 87th birthday and also 3 years 5 months to the day since he passed away on 18th October 2006.
As I mentioned in yesterday’s blog, can you please do a special blog about funnier moments on set, jokes, pranks, collapsing sets etc.
Regards
Naresh

Love & Regards,

I’m on a train and just hit a wrong button and lost the page.
I lament the uselessness of my life every day.
I’m so sorry to read about the return of your pain. I guess you did speak too soon. Maybe you shouldn’t have gone back to the gym and tried to rest instead.
Thank you for the write-up about that cinematographer. I have seen those films of Guru Dutt and there is nothing today that compares with those visuals I’m afraid. That was sweet of you to speak about VK Murthy so lovingly. It’s great that you got to work with him and congratulations to him for the award.
Even if I do not get paid, I still try to keep busy with my volunteering. I feel I may be of some use although money isn’t the reward.
Happy new Year to those that celebrate.
I hope your night tonight is painless and I send you my love and best wishes to feel better. I will be thinking of you constantly and hoping for better news tomorrow.
Love,
Rochelle
Hi Amit,ji !
Good bright evening!
I wish you and your loved ones happiness, love and all that is beautiful!The most expensive Amitabh!
I love you!I love you!love you!
You are an angel!
Hi Amitji,
I hope your back pain goes with a good night’s sleep. Please rest all day tomorrow and watch some IPL.
A question for anyone who is watching the IPL matches, there is a trumpet like sound every few overs, followed by a cheer, is that someone in the crowd or is that played from the PA system? I am dying to know.
Regards as ever to Mansihbhai, Srinivas, Sunita- NJ, Vandana, Amitabh Z, Devkishin, Vikas- Kuwait, S Kh, Shankar, Anu, Barun, Mahmud, Archana, Jasmine J, Anat Magen, Barka from France, Manoj Kumar Ojha, Pratik Rana, Saratchandra, Smita and Saroj and any others I have missed.

Hi Again Amitji,

congrats to VK murthy and happy new year to you as well!
Sir, without your messages boring!
Love!
dear amitabh — persistent pain makes one want to cuss and swear and yell and cry -why is there –pain anyways –life is too short –to waste it on pain –i do not get it -dear God — i feel helpless when i have my daily pain - and i feel for all my family and friends — - - i just try to enjoy the good days i dont want to be a prisoner of pain. try nuprin an analgsic and try glucosomine chondroitin with msm try vertical only massage just rubbing up and down motion no horizontal thats the only time i feel like swearing terrible four letter words -when pain becomes unbearable -on a lighter note Happy shamrock day –take it easy — you are adorable -love jackie
Hope you feel better soon.
Dearest Sweet Mr. Bachchan,
Happy Gudi Padwa to you, too! Happy Ugadi! Happy New Year in March!?
So very sorry to hear that you’ve had a rough day…I sincerely hope that you’e fast asleep as I type this. Hoping and praying that tomorrow will be a much better day for you, without any aches of pains…
Sending lots and lots of love your way, Sir…and then lots more.
God bless you, my precious Mr. Bachchan.
Hello Amitji,Happy Gudi Padva to u and family.
I’m sorry yet again to hear about your recurring pains, but dare I say, just on this occasion am incredibly relieved that another person was also infuriated by the absurdly, nonsensical injustice of ‘speaking too soon‘!
As I wrote overleaf on the previous Day, merely a few hours ago my entire day was also spent ensconced in lethargy, lamenting the uselessness of my life, and the futility of hope and belief. I woke up feeling utterly forlorn and desolate and every moment of the day was spent wondering what on earth happened overnight to induce such an extreme malady ?!
Indeed, the premise is unmistakable, wherever ‘goodness’ tries to preside, evil and ‘negativity’ attempts to deflect its worth. Nevertheless, spiritual justice suggests that tomorrow shall surely be a much better day for you and I. And yes, ‘talking’ is incredibly overrated; therefore we empathically should not share our happiness when it blossoms tomorrow!
Its always deeply distressing to hear of your discomfort. I shall pray fervently that you find relief tonight. But please know, with sincere authentication, that in all situations you are never experiencing them alone. Someone who cares very much is always with you in thought, spirit and essence.
My fondest Birthday wishes to dear Shweta for her special day and for a beautifully blessed year to come.
Shall return soon. Goodnight my dearest Mr Bachchan, sleep well and may you be free from pain, angst and despondency hereafter.
Love & more,
Jasmine

love and love and love and more…

anat magen here in israel..
We all live in emotional and physical doldrums. C’est la vie.
Par aap yeh sochkar man chota na kijiye. We love reading about your day. Good or bad, as you see it. And each day of yours -its account as you give, is an insipration. You have acheived much and you are giving a lot.
Guru Dutt ji was a genius. Greatly influenced by the Film Noire of hollywood but not a mere copycat. He took it to a different level in his movie - do you remember the song - ‘Arre aisa hua dil pein…ki tabiyat machal machal gayee’[ Amazing shot - a fast pitched song, rendered beautifully by Rafi sahab, and captured fantastically by Guruji’s genius. The song is a frenzy. Stupendous. I have no words to describe.
Now look what you have done - I am in office but I can’t wait to get home and watch that song again - maybe I won’t wait that long - YOUTUBE and iPhone zindabad!!
Cheers - may each day of yours bring new experience to us all
Love
B

According to tithi my father’s B’dy falls on Gudi padwa. Though his favorite is Ashok kumar, still your wishing him happy 78th B’dy, would certainly make him happy. Back pain and spasm is not alien to him and family so let us all wish U a speedy recovery.
That’s a great narration on VK Murthi-another south Indian. There has to be something with that part of India which keeps gifting artists to the world. U have North, South & West in your home!

Dear Amitji,
Hope Shweta’s enjoyed her birthday. Happy Gudi Padwa and Happy New Year and Happy Navratri.
Another new word - ET??????
So sorry that your pain re emerged and today was not as good as yesterday. How about repeating yesterday’s rituals? Perhaps you do too much and when you slow down then the pains remind you that you need to rest???!!!
Love today’s post and you reminiscing about Guru Dutt and his films and VK Murthy being awarded. Wholeheartedly agree with you, the old films were/are
definately GOLD - so well picturised. They don’t make them like that anymore!
Even with the hundreds of CRORES spent on such big films!
Thanks for clarifying - i had read that Jayaji was expecting Abhishek at the time of Sholay filming.
Big bear hugs to make you feel better from all EF.
Good night and God Bless
Love and best wishes

Dear Amitji,
You had a great day yesterday, fine. Its ok if today is not so great. Atleast one day of life was different, I would rather feel good about my good day esterday then to lament about the bad day today. Just my opinion.
Thanks for sharing the new of Mr. Murthy. Many congratualtions to him and congratulations to you for asknowledging his contricution to the industry.

Raj Thackeray has a slip of sorts and calls Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus by its older name — VT!
http://www.ndtv.com/news/cities/raj-thackeray-slips-up-calls-cst-by-its-victorian-name-17949.php
Normally I would be rather sympathetic to anyone who to avoid this tongue twister preferred the older name. However the standards should be a bit higher for this grand Marathi manoos of our times. And I am quite sure he would quite liked to be judged by his own standards as well. So let us all gather stones now and start tossing them at Raj Thackeray’s residence..
Hello sir…
Hope u’ll feel better tomm. i think u shud have app. amount of rest n sleep …
wht. r next projects… whn r we seeing u next…..????
Best of luck for everything u do….!
take care….

U take care
Luv n respects

Happy Gudi Padwa and a prosperous New year to you too!
Please treat yourself with Shrikhand. I wish I could have blogged you with one pint of it. Blog technology is not that advance! -Ha!
Dear AmitJi,
Another inspirational blog from you even though you had a bad day today……….we all wish you get relieved from this physical pain soon……
I had posted excerpt of your blog last night to my Face book profile and it has been immensely liked by my friends & I’m so happy that I couldn’t resist myself from sharing this news with you.
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/profile.php?ref=profile&id=1163906770
I too have loved Pyassa, SBAG , Kagaaz ke phool and I agree with you ……….these days that magic is missing!
Congratulations to Mr.VK Murthy for winning Dada Sahib Phalke award…..you are right…..we never get to know about the technicians or shall i say we don’t even care is it not like that? We always look for the stars and directors but never find out more about the technicians whose effort and dedication also goes a long way in making a good film.
Thanks & Regards,
Manashi
Because I agree with everything that you say about V K Murthy I am currently launching a petition to pool money for a bounty hunter who can let us say take care of Arun Dutt and deliver all of us from this miserable possibility of seeing Guru Dutt’s great works in color. This is truly an assault on ‘decency’ (forget aesthetics!) and I am amazed Arun Dutt does not have for respect for his father’s work. With Mughal-e-Azam though I still did not support the move (because K Asif wasn’t around to make those choices) at least I had the consolation that the director of that film wished the whole thing to be in color. On Naya Daur the less said the better but Guru Dutt? This is the ultimate affront! So while I am not a man of violence by any means I am enough of a follower of the angry young man to know that sometimes there is no other recourse in life. Let’s stop Arun Dutt. Let’s hire this bounty hunter! I see now at the risk of indulging in the blackest (and perhaps most tasteless) kind of humor that those who committed suicide in Guru Dutt’s family were really the respectable types. The survivors choose to desecrate their memories in this sort of awful fashion.
Dear uncle,
I really wish and pray that the pain surrenders to the strength of yours at the earliest…….
It seemed quite funny how you altered your thoughts today giving a completely different perception from that of yesterdays post.But,whatever you say has to be right and indeed it is.Yesterday you said that a regular workout keeps you fit and away from lethargy and more importantly away pain.And today suddenly you proved yourself wrong.But whatever and whenever you say,I am there to obey
happily………..
Please read this article if you get time…and I hope you do
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

Good night uncle
Love form the bottom of my heart……
As you can see I am in the mood for violence today — two important orders for the day.. the stoning of Raj Thackeray’s residence and then a means to incapacitate Arun Dutt (I speak euphemistically).. two important priorities.. ah where to begin?..
Namaste, dearest Amitabhji.
Thank you for an early post.
Happy Gudi Padwa!
My congratulations of your daughter Shweta on her birthday! She is happy at you and let always same also remains. In love and warm in a circle of her family…
You again badly felt yourselves today. It is a pity, that your pain cannot be divided. Can only support you and mentally to be with you… I very much wish you, dear, that this your pain as small as possible disturbed you. Please, take care, Paa…
“Does not matter whether it is big or small, just keep doing it. Someday someone shall recognize it. Credit is not what one would want to look for. The quality and intensity of the work is important. Credit becomes personal, individual. It shall remain within one, whereas the work done should be devoid of that individuality, should be more universal and all encompassing, including and identifiable with the common man or woman. For their benefit and well being.” Fine words, Amitji. I too so consider…
‘ Someday someone shall recognize it ‘. Excellent words!… Sometime… What nevertheless indeterminacy of these words though the hope for an estimation of your work in the future is heard… At times, you struggle, you do, but, appears, it is unnecessary the one to whom did. And it turns out, your efforts were vain. Are not appreciated, or are not noticed in general…
Wish you the best and the kindest, Amitji.
Thank you that you are…
Always with you. With my sincere deep affection and more…
Olya.
Hello Mr.Bachchan!
Happy Gudi Padwa and Happy New Year to You and your familly. May You have this year happy,sucessful and full of love 
Thanks for writing about VK Murthy.
I have hope that You will feel better. I wish You good night without pain
Tomorrow is new day and everything will be better
Happy birthday to Shweta!
Lots of love to You and good night without pain
Happy and calm, such as air-light cloud NIGHT!
Dear Amitabhji,
Thank you for that wonderful discussion of VK Murthy…those Guru Dutt films rank among my favorites, not just among Indian movies but worldwide…
Here is a link re Mr. Murthy that some FmXt might find interesting:
http://kamlashow.com/podcast/2007/04/19/cinematographer-vk-murthy/
There is no doubt that great cinematographers are key artists in making great films… it is no coincidence that when I think of some of my favorite directors, the same cinematographers are linked to so many of their movies: personal favorites who immediately sprang to mind were: Sven Nykvist, Kazuo Miyagawa, Christopher Doyle and Russell Boyd…and VK Murthy is definitely among these in my personal pantheon.
Well, I am sorry that your brave words did not leave you with a lasting positive effect, but who knows what fruits they will bring forth out here in the rest of the universe?…some of which you will probably never hear of or see… I myself, being inspired by your example, had a wonderful time at the gym yesterday evening and reached my personal best for time doing that most dreaded exercise, the plank! My personal mantra when doing that particular exercise is to count how many times I can say “Amitabh Bachchan” before I finally expire! ha crazy but true…so what else is new?
Here’s wishing you a most restful, pain-free night’s rest, with all my/our affection to lap you round with peace and comfort,
Love, sweet dreams, and deep, deep sleep to ravel up the sleeve of care,
Phyllis
Dear Amitji,
Saddened to know about the recurrence of your pain that just seemed to go away yesterday…hope you get to try getting some rest and see if that works.
Nice to read abt, V K Murthy’s award and his timeless classic films that you took us through. One of my dad’s favorite songs used to be “Chaudhvin ka Chand”…good to read abt all those films, some of which I have not yet seen, but hope to see it soon. But agree with you…the dedication of those that made those classics seem to be missing in some of the current works, where we just see more of glamour today, which just fades away very soon.
Hope you feel better soon.
With love,
Krishna

Thank you for sharing that exact scene in Sholay where Jayaji is pregnant with Sweta.
Thanks once again for sharing that insightful note about VK Murthy. Sad to hear that you suffer pain. Nothing seems interesting, when we know that you suffer pain. Take care Sir.

Dear Sirji,
I am pretty sure apni nanhe pari Shweta, ki birthday ko le kar aap aevam aapke samast parivaar khushiyaan maana rahe hoongae. I have not read your today’s post, but very sure Shweta ke b’day kae bare kuch to leekhae hoongae. Will get back again after reading your post. Hope your daily exercise & routine will not get neglected as we all know — Health is Wealth. Little twist or we can say better usage of the words– Health, wealth, & character.
If WEALTH is gone, NOTHING is gone………..
If HEALTH is gone, SOMETHING is gone………….
But IF CHARACTER is gone, EVERYTHING is gone………

I am not sure if you should be working out in the gym having had a bad back. Please take professional advice. Worried for you.
Dear Amit Jee,
Curious to see those song videos once again to feel and understand the emotions of the scene play there.
I myself feel sometime, the enthusiasm, courage and self motivation not working enough to feel gratified always.
It feels nothing to be working and all at the same place left last.
Though these is lot of meaning in seeing the things around with positivity and certainly it helps smoothing the path and cover a long difficult distance with ease. Ignoring the pain works for a while, its really difficult to hold the senses for long time to abstain from feeling it, because ignoring the pain is not really removing the existence of pain. It is like something to have better than nothing.
Curiously awaiting to read a lot and lot from you always
~Chandra Mohan Bhatt

Hi Amit jee, best wishes to you and your family. I hope you sleep well tonight! Sweet dreams, bye.
Dear Mr Bachchan
You write ‘in the moment’ and never a moment too soon…. your painful lows today which grieve me indescribably are but the latest and most immediate truth you share with after the joyous positivity of yesterday, which in its turn was the utter and absolute truth of that moment. I admire your ability to respond to the moment, and embrace it to the hilt for good or for bad, and express it to us in the way that only you can do.
The only thing I simply cannot comprehend is when you rage at the ‘uselessness of life’ .. when your life must have affected more people more positively than anyone else on earth. But I sympathise so much, because pain and frustration can do that… overwhelm every other emotion and make the world seem a lamentable place…
I just hope most fervently that you are already experiencing a much more comfortable night and that by tomorrow you will be feeling better again in every possible way…
And in the midst of all this angst, thank you so much for those magical words about the artistry of VK Murthy… your description ‘lyrical’ is so perfect for that exquisite cinematography, and makes me want to reach for my Guru Dutt DVDs right now. There is still a longing for cinematic simplicity, where all that is needed to capture the heart and the imagination is great actors, compelling emotions and empathetic camerawork… no need for jazzed up frenetic cutting to try and distract from the emptiness of the content. I’m so glad the Phalke award has finally gone to a ‘technician’, though that word doesn’t begin to cover the utterly invaluable role that the cinematographer plays in cinema and the creativity and vision they can bring.
With love from Daisy
Dear Amitji,
Happy Birthday to Shweta! Hope this year brings a lot of joy into her life! Anyways, from reading your blog I have found out that you are not feeling very well lately, so, my only advice to you would be to take a rest as you have been working very hard these days.
Take care,
Rima, UK
Get better soon, AB. I will be honest with you, it could be the hours you spend on your laptop that could be giving you a lot of your aches and pains. And the lack of sleep. But who am I to say you should cut down on what you love doing as much as acting. You live through your movies and blog and we live through your blog.
But that could be a good reason, am sure.

Dear Sir,
frankly speaking, I do not know, whether I belong to your EF? I am not your “fun” but I am definitely your sincere well-wisher. World of art is not my place. I live in another world – world of logic, abstraction, ratio, in brief, world of science. And here on the blog I would rather be an observer. I’m standing on the roadside of your “kingdom” and looking at your world with a smile. (By the way I can see here almost all personages of a typical “kingdom”: historiographers, retinue, favourites, citizens, latent opposition, strangers etc). Well, back to my smile! This smile combines a lot of nostalgia and reflections of youth (of the gone with the wind youth). Ah, how strong my sister-twin loved you in our childhood during the far eighties; how often we went to the cinemas to watch films with you. Unsurprisingly, you were a part of her life – our life. Nowadays my sister lives in California and unfortunately she forgot about her youthful dreams and reveries. But I have a possibility to talk to you according to some strange destiny caprice.
Except for nostalgia I feel a real interest for you as a personality. You achieved a lot of things and now you are on the top of life. But I can feel with all my heart that at this time you are standing on a fork of the big road. Which way would you like to choose to go? Confucius said: “A superior man chooses the hardest way, a weak man chooses the easiest way, a common man doesn’t choose, he is drifting the stream”.
You know, dear, I can see that you are not a leader, you are a fellower. On a movie set you just transform into a “tool” of a director. In real life you avoid politics. You rarely show the initiative in relations with other people. You always try to keep a distance. You are really not able to be “the father of the nation” although the 14th position in the national “trust top-list” is considered to be a high position especially for an actor. (I think Aamir Khan will be one day on the top in this list; I respect him very much).
So you are not a politician but you are able eventually to become “the conscience of the nation”, its moral tuning fork. For this reason you shouldn’t use your fists (like Ali) and fight with world’s enemy, you need ONLY to be yourself – principal, modest and charitable. You ought to say “no” when your mind says “no” and say “yes” when your heart says “yes”.
God bless your way now and in the future, my dear bloger AB!

How many countless times have I read your comments either from a train or while you were awaiting a train? These missives on the go are evidence of your dedication to AB, and I love reading them…never knowing from what location the next one will be!
I’m dedicating this song to you…Jimmie Rodgers was one of my father’s favorites, even though he died tragically young of tuberculosis, when my father was still just a young boy…

Do any of your mother’s poems involve a train?
Dear Sir,
First things first, Manny Happy returns of the day to your daughter, to wife of Nikhil, to the mother of Navya and Agastya and last but not the least sister of my very favorite Abhishek.
Happy Navratras/GUdi Padwa to you and family.
I agree, sometimes I too do feel that when I say something, it gets jinxed, but lets hope and pray that it never your talk about your health/wealth and happiness. Millions are people get affected by any thing ill that happens to you and family.
with best wishes and lots of love/luck

Hi, dear sir!
I suppose, it’s too late to congrat Shweta with her Birthday, but nevertheless - all the best to her and to all of your families. Some kind person post part of Shweta’s interview about you and I was greatly impressed and touched by her words and how she describes your relationships. Great man have great children, I must say.
Does Abhishek jealous about the fact that his sister was involved in film industry before him? (silly joke, sorry)
Hope your pain will leave you and you’ll be happy again!
With love and respect, Tatiana
Dear Sir,
We all wish you a very very happy Gudi padwa and Wonderful year ahead to you & your family.
The way you have described Mr.Murty just goes to tell the sort of Kind and Loving and respectful person you are and thats why you are loved so much and admired a lot.
Have a good day tomorrow and hopefully all your back pain is gone forever. Sir, like Mr.R.khanna in Anand said, same way i cant say that either, that give me your back pain and may you have a healthy Back like mine cause i forever have got Backpain due to a serious illness years ago and since then same old story every day about the backpain. My wife says its very hard to believe that you have got backpain cause i look healthy to her & others, so i just say to her , no i am just pretending i have lot of pain, how do i tell them what i am going through, no Blood, no Wound?
Someone said Be Happy, so we will try.
Thanks

dear amitabh — i hope pain is easing up — your memory of shweta in utero while you were filming sholay is neat .you know something amitabh -ive seen millions of movies indian and american —i am afraid no one matches your looks or acting ability —some were good such as rock hudson,clark gable,barrymores,kapoors guru dutt,dev anand,rajesh khanna,manoj kumar -but im prejudiced -and think you outshone all of them - very nice of you to speak of others — though you have enough talent and verve in your little finger than they do in their whole body … what else can i say — people alway comment on your height -long legs — i think they should be insured for millions of dollars -in hollywood they insured betty grables legs for a million dollars in the old days . you are gorgeous inside and out — accept it and enjoy the gift from the almighty –we have so much care and confidence in you — you are irreplaceable –one of a kind once in a lifetime phenomenon –i can see you blushing .. dont be humble and so shy — you have earned everything through hard work and diligence you are so tenacious about life -more power to you -love and the best wishes of the day -happy happy days for you —jackie

…….”Who can forget the mystic lighting for the song ‘waqt ne kiya …’ in ‘Kaagaz ke Phool’ or that close up of Waheeda Rehman in ‘Pyaasa’ as she looks up towards Guru Dutt on the balcony of the theatre as he sings ‘ye duniya agar mil bhi jaye…’. Or how can we ever find a substitute to that immortal song and moment in SBAG, when Meena Kumari tries to prevent her husband played by Rehman from leaving her at night, with the words ‘na jaao saiyan ..’. ”

Dear Mister Bachchan,
for tomorrow I will be in good spirits because of your cheering up…. I love my profession but sometimes it is hard for a teacher of children from the lower class. You have helped me! Thanks a lot!
Tomorrow evening I will fly to London for some days. There I can’t read your blog and also can’t write but I will think of you and all the nice writings of the last weeks…
Sleep well this night, dear Amitabh, and also the following nights…
With love

#64 - Satyam I think we should give Mr. Arun Dutt a fair chance to explain why he wants to do it? for the Money or some other reason? We must remember that The day Guru Dutt died, due combination of alcohol and sleeping pills, that day he had an appointment with Raj Kapoor to discuss about making color films.
Also Mr. Arun Dutt is not destroying original B/W movie. He is just making color verison of it. We will always have a choice to not to watch it. Few years back “mughal-e-azam” was made in color. I chose not to see it.
Whenever I see B/W movies at home, my nine year old Son always say ” Why this movie looks like this? where are the colors” Maybe he is young enough not to understand beauty of B/W cinema, the ambience it creates. But chances are he might view these movie, if the come out in color. Maybe Mr. Arun Dutt is trying to reach out this GenNext and introduce them with his father’s work.
Good night Sir jee. Hope this night you sleep well and do not wake up till your alarm clock asks you to. Let us know how last night went. And yes, please dont reply at this time - we want you to sleep well.
Shubh Ratri.
Parag.

Hi Amit Ji,
I can share my experience. Sometimes, I feel like nothing is working and I am doing nothing useful in spite of doing a lot of things. I have felt that taking a pause at those moments have been very beneficial. I have just accepted that nothing is working and relaxed (in fact, watched at least 4 of your movies in 1 day).
Dear Sir, my belated Happy Birthday to Sweta Nanda. Time and signal does not permit me to read and write everyday, but today we are in Queenstown and as the weather is not so good and the internet is available for 24 hours, I am hoping to make the most of it and catch up on all the missed, previous pages.
It is so very good of you to let us know of ” The Hidden Stars ” of our film industry, who have also played part in making the famous scenes and given us the utmost joy in watching the Classics of Indian Cinema. Thank You so much. You, a great artist, a humble human being, and with knowledge to illustrate the scenes and stories in such depth and your command on english language is so great that it makes it even more interesting to read each and every one of your daily episodes. Thank you for spending your precious time with us every day, without failing.
We had a great time yesterday in Milford Sound. New Zealand is a beautiful country and people are very very friendly. It is what England used to be 40 years ago. No one is in any hurry, no one overtakes you when you are driving.
We had a bit of an incident yesterday. Whilst returning from Milford Sound, a day trip by coach, the driver suddenly braked and we thought there must be an accident ahead. But it was a huge tree, which had fallen on the middle of the road. We thought OMG!!! What will happen now? As we were in a dense forest, there was no mobile signal and the queues of traffic was building up from both the directions, a single carriage way. But one of the cars went back to the nearest village and informed the authority. Two people from the authorities came in with a saw and smiling away started cutting the trunk into small pieces. After a little while a bulldozer came in and shifted the huge branches, pieces of the trunk out of the road and made it possible for everyone to move along. While all this commotion was taking place, the rest of the public took lots of pictures and were filming the whole event. No one was in hurry or harassed. The whole thing was taken very calmly and the pleasant atmosphere created by the people of the authority, spread their positive vibes everywhere and so what could have been a horrible experience and quite scary turned out to be No Problem!!! Something I learnt, that no matter what the situation, not to panic and take it as it comes.
The people of this country are calm, very relaxed and deal with situations, one step at a time. This is an area where natural disasters like earthquakes, volcano eruptions, tsunamis can occur quite frequently, and so people have the ability to deal with difficult situations.
One more week, and we return back to London. Now let me see, if I can learn this new mantra, ” take it as it comes, and deal with it without panicking”
Pranams to you, your family and all my lovely FmXt.
Dear Mr Bachchan,
Shweta ko janam din ki badhai or subh kamnayein. Apne parivar ke sath woh hamesha khush rahe aisi shubherchha.
Aap ki tabiyat thik nahin hai to please aap apna khayal rakho. Sab thik ho jayega. Apne jo liha woh mujhe thoda samaj mein aaya aur kuchh nahin to maf karna. Asha rakhti hoon ki aap hum logon ka pyar kubul karoge. kal ka din achha rahega apka aisi bhavna ke sath
Jyoti
Amitji, happy Gudi Padwa, Ugadi and angrezi mein kehte hain ki Happy New Year to you as well, a day late!
Sorry to hear about your pain having returned. Aapne apne aapko nazar laga li. Some of us here were getting ideas from your “Shut Up” and getting ready to say it to irksome things that irritate us no end!
Loved your tribute to Mr. Murthy, undoubtedly very well deserved. And he totally deserves the Dada Sahab Phalke award. One needs to applaud the fact that it has been given to a “technician”. You have evoked the genius behind the picturization of “Waqt ne kiya…” and “Na jaao saiyyan chhura ke baiyyan…” very well. These are unforgettable songs, and master strokes from a man who is great at his art and his craft, both. That was as good as cinematography gets.
But today is one of the few times that I disagree with you. You say, “Try doing that now ! Ha … the audience shall never sit through it.” Why this assumption, Amitji, on the parts of directors/producers/artists? With all due respect, Amitji, I have always been unhappy with this excuse for passing off anything, any violence, obscene humor, pathetic formula films, “janta yahi chahti hai.” I wonder if anyone asks the janta what they want.
I honestly think the public would still, today, respect a film of the calibre of Kaghaz ke Phool, Pyaza, or SBAG. Satyam has often lamented the loss of innocence and simplicity from Indian films, and I have silently agreed with him each time. PAA did not have any lavish dances of the kind you’ve described so well, and we loved it. It was successful beacuse of the story and the integrity behind it. I rest my case.
I hope you do not mind me writing this and being in disagreement with you. I also hope you are sleeping peacefully as I type, and will have a better day tomorrow. And I almost forgot: thanks for letting us know the fact that Shweta was a part of Sholay!!! How so very sweet. The next time I see the film and the scene, I will think of that!
My love and regards, always,
Jasmine

Satyam, I must admit I am a little bit surprised at your thoughts today! I guess you feel really strongly about this. I Do agree that the films should not be touched. It is like someone wanting to paint the Tajmahal so that it looks more beautiful. It’s foolish, period.
Thank You.Get well soon. The frequent travels seems to be taking their toll. Why can’t Gym be thrice in a week. I am no doctor here but I guess the body has not recovered and there were two visits to the Gym..so at your age that may be little taxing ….

Hello Sirji,
Very sad to read that you are still suffering with back pain. As I am writing, I am even praying to God to relieve you from the badmash back pain and make you sleep like a baby tonight(every night). Aap to Amitabh Bachchan ho,aapko dard kabhi nahi saata sakta hai. Aapko yaad hoga the movie you made Mard. In that movie your famous dialogue ” Mard ko dard nahi hota”, was very often used by my cousin who was equally crazy about you. I don’t think he was more than 10-12 years when he watched your movie, Mard. From then on he never let tears come in his eyes, no matter how badly he got hurt. One day he came home from play ground bleeding & one of his toe nail hanging. Looking at him we the girls(sisters, Mom) started crying but he he did not show any feelings. On that my Mom, asked him if it was hurting him. My small cute cousin brother proudly raised his head high up and said, ” Badi Maa, Mard ko dard nahi hota”. My Mom cutely looked at him & then towards me and said — jug-jug jiya tumhara Amitabh Bachchan. That cute incident is still in my memory, every time I remember & feel proud. So aapka bola sentence — Mard ko dard nahi hota, ko yaad karke pain ko bhaga dejiye & sleep tight. Sweet dreams, to you.
Thanks for sharing Jayaji’s pregnancy story. I just went in that dream/imagination world of you taking care, pampering her so much on the sets of Sholay as she is not only carrying the families first baby but even working. My God aren’t you both lucky to have each other as your life partner. Mostly you Sirji, simply because I adore Jayaji. As I had written in my previous fan story, I became your fan because of her. I feel she is the strongest pillar of Bachchan family. When we were growing up only movies we were allowed to watch was of Jayaji’s. She married you, so I started liking you. But now my love for you and your whole family is unquestionable/unconditional. On Shweta’s B’day I honor both of you with the MOST LOVABLE COUPLE AWARD. Did you like it? God bless you, both.
Congratulations to VK Murthyji, for Dada Sahib Phalke Award. Loved your description of Guru Dutt’s movies and songs. I totally agree with you on movies made during that time. Loved them even though they were so slow. I am a big fan of all Rafiji’s songs. I literally have the complete collection.
Finally, before ending can you or somebody here please tell me the full form of ET.
Love U & your whole family as always but Abhishek a little more

I’d hazard a wild guess that you were the daring person who asked Mr Bachchan whether he knew that lots of young women your age found him more attractive than his son…. am I right…???

Satyam 55
Ha ha ha … we’re laughing all the way to Texas!
From the outset, let us elucidate that lethargy and despondency, if they do temporarily entrench you, are subsequent to the intensity of your schedules during other times. Having nothing to do is the opposite of your ‘lot’ in life if you reflect over recent weeks you will realise that temporary burn out can affect the disposition rather gravely. As I keep reiterating long haul flying and accrued jet lag very much unhinges our delicate chemical make up, causing all manner of mood related problems.
I have no doubt that decent uninterrupted sleep will make both pain and despondency disintegrate like magic by the morrow. Although its worth further investigation if the pain persists Mr Bachchan. Any fitness trainer worth his grit will advise against forcible exercise if you experience pain! Please be mindful of your body’s warning signs and alleviate the pain before further ado. Having purchased countless contraptions for pain prevention and relief in the recent past; its beyond comprehension that none of them have worked in the long term! Money making gadgets…surely not…
Your life is more cherished than diamonds and gold to me and millions within your nation. Each word or action you make has its value and rationale in another persons life. For instance if you had not vociferously lamented your feelings here today, I may have still have been sobbing oceans into my pillow feeling like the only hapless soul in the world for whom positivity had failed! Agreed, ‘speaking’ prior to action is a dubious decision; but sharing our experiences are always worth the efforts.
Just as keeping busy is worth our sense of achievement and sanity! Health mind begets a healthy body as we repeatedly establish here; so lets you and I begin afresh tomorrow!
The latter part of your post may as well be written in Martian for my knowledge and interest in older movies. Alas, I may be one of the said members of the audience to walk out if the ’dazzling high voltage paraphernalia’ is missing from a performance. Black and white movies are too ascetic, slow moving and meek to engage the modern the viewer. With all due respect, my grandfather and father were Guru Dutt fanatics; but I cannot comprehend his genius (!) even vaguely matches your post millennium on screen supremacy! He’s quite expressionless and un -dramatic to the extent that his attempt to act ‘romantic’ in the likes of ‘Chaudhavin ka Chand’ on the balcony with Waheeda ji appears rather unnervingly lecherous because of his staid glaring expressions. Anyway, each era has its charm and that’s my two pennies worth shared on the understanding that we are entitled to our unique opinions.
I do sincerely hope this night is bringing relief; but please consider alternative remedial action if not. HK beckons in a few days and how ineffably horrible would it be to travel again in this condition. Seriously, please be thinking of your well being.
Goodnight my lovely Mr Bachchan, may this night bring sweet dreams and blissful restorative slumber for a much brighter day ahead.
Love, affection & more,
Jasmine

54 Satyam
Totally agree with you on this one, too, and can sympathize with you on the metaphorical urge to kill! ha… People should be put in prison for life for “colorizing” black and white movies. It’s the worst kind of vandalization…which has happened already to a lot of old American movies…right next to dubbing instead of using subtitles, it’s one of the most horrible ways to defile, degrade, mutilate, and just plain RUIN good movies!
Long live black and white!
Woops, 64 Satyam
Happy Gudi Padwa / Happy New year to you and your family too. This is an auspicious month – soon we will have Ram Navami, then Mahavir Jyanti and then Hanuman Jayanti.
My best wishes to Shweta on her birthday today. She was born in March ’74 – two months after we came to UK.
I am sorry to read that your back has been causing you pain. I hope the remedies you are trying are working to bring relief.
Congratulations to V K Murthy for the highest honour of Dada Saheb Phalke Award. It’s good to see that technicians are now also being recognised and rewarded for their work. After all, without their genius we would not have a film to make.
Thank you for that reflective trip down memory lane of the good old movies, scenes, songs, music of the yesteryear. Indeed there was more substance then without all the dazzle and paraphernalia you get nowadays.
Praying for your good health and happiness.
Rajesh
Keep thinking about your recurring pain…if you hadn’t been working out on a regular basis, maybe two hours was too long for the very first day back at the workout sessions?
You are still right, I think, in looking to the exercises for helping in the long run. My best friend/bhai Mark has a chronically bad back and what works for him, better than any pain pills, is regular exercise at the gym…but the key is the regularity…whenever he gets too busy to do these on a routine basis, that’s when the back problems recur.
Everyone is different, and by now I’m sure you know best what works for you best. So feel free to wish me in your heart to shut up and take a hike…
just sayin’ …..
Wishin’ and hopin’ for no more pain,
Phyllis
Sir,
Happy wishes from all. Nice and sweet read. Nice to acknowledge one and all.

Dear Amitab ji or should I calll you Sir… I don’t know
I have recently started reading you blog…!! I never knew you can write much better than news papers…… The way you describe places,people, feelings, relationships OR just any situation….. is amazing….. my respect for you has incresed many times over…..!!
Please keep writing, keep acting, and keep being that beautiful being…… NO BODY CAN TOUCH YOU OR REACH YOU… Now I know why you are known as BIG B….
I was in Hurgadha, in Egypt with my sister for a weeks vacation. Shop keepers would ask where are you from… and we said we are indians, but live in London…. and they would say ….Oh…Amitabh Bhachan… We were so surprised that every place we went , India was represented by Amitabh..
Same happened in Sharm-El- Sheikh in Egypt…… Some people have watched all your movies, and in Small towns around the world… this recognition… It felt good ,….we are Indians… and how these people are so fond of Indian Cinema. There is a 24 hour TV Channel, showing Indian Cinema ONLY…..
Wishing you long healthy life… May be one day I will meet you personaally.. I read a book recently by Dr Walter Semkiv on Re-Incarnation. There was a big coverage about your past life, which i enjoyed very much, and it almost felt true…. rest i don’t know….
Love and Regards
Amar

Thanks for the piece of Jayaji’s pregnancy with shweta.You and your family have some very great memories to cherish.

I am so sorry to hear that you were in pain again,i can imagine your discomfort.Pain can make one feel down and out.I sincerely pray and hope that you feel better and have a very restful night .
Congratulations to Mr VK Murthy,I dont know much about him,and i’m glad you mentioned what a great cinematographer he is and about his achievements so that we can be enlightened.Speaking about late Meena Kumari only rises up my passion for oldies…God bless her soul.Those old songs and movies really does something to me that i cannot explain.
Thanks for another wonderful post and really hope you have a comfortable night’s rest.
May God always bless and protect you,your wonderful family and all dear FmXt
My sincere love always…

What a lovely blog again! I love reading your blog on daily basis now. You inspire me and millions of fans. Take it easy on health, you can only do so much, sometimes we need to give a break, and yes, we must remember to take ‘baby step’ hope that helps! Love you lots!!!
Dear Mr B,
The films of yester years were truly beautiful in their flow and poetic content, Guru Dutt was a master of film making. Congratulations to Vk MURTHY for the award bestowed on him.
Your pain seems to be acting up again, please take care. There is a theory that sometimes physical pain manifests itself because we suppress our anguish/ feelings mentally or subconsciously and the only way the pain can be released is through the body. Is is better to acknowledge the mental pain and deal with it so that it does not manifest physically. I have tried out this theory several times and it seems to have worked for me most of the time.
Not speaking up is never a sign of weakness. Silence actually gives a lot of strength, the best and highest thoughts emanate when one feels the deep silence within. …… not something most people would agree with as noise and activity are so important in this age. We tend to forget our essence in the cacophony of constant action.What we seek by way of work is already present within us but to acknowledge that we have to act. Action is so important but silence in action more so.
Before I start ranting too much,
with silent regards,
Nandita

Dear Saratchandra
Thank you very much for your wishes and all those links.Also for the info you posted yesterday on our beloved Aishwarya.I saw some of the photos of the event and i must say she looks most beautiful as ever….and not forgetting her beautiful bouquet of red and white roses….she is outstanding,she is a sweet heart!

Dear Archana (Bengaluru)
Thank you for your wishes.
Happy Gudi padwa to you and your family.
Lots of love…..
Mr B,
“Work is worship” as my mother would emphasise and I believe it should be done in that manner.To be recognised for it or not is not in our hands but have seen with many greats the honour comes only after that person is no more, its man’s nature to sideline the actual worthies but go on to praise the loud mouthed who would be shouting from the roof tops of their achievements.I believe in the dignity of a job done with all its worth quietly , not proclaimed or better word ,tom-tommed to the whole wide world, this is in context to certain tasks an individual performs on a daily basis not talking in professional terms where one has to see that his effort is lauded.
Hope ur pain disappears Mr. B, love and regards.
Mr B,
Mr. V.K Murthy most certainly deserves the great honour bestowed to him,and he has served quietly and with so much dignity.
Amitji,
Hope you do get proper rest, yeah some times we speak too soon, when the positives take place..
Apologises on not getting in there to wish Shweta Happy Bday earlier, please do pass her our wishes, thanks for sharing the event of the shooting of sholay..still one of my favourite movie, I named my son JAI, after your character name in the movie..
All the best always

Dear Mr. Bachchan
Hope you had a restful night and as usual enjoyed the post. Out of the four movies I have watched only two…sahib Biwi Aur Sulam and Chaudhvi ka Chand. I never used to pay attention to the technicians name but did notice the nuances achieved by the lighting techniques. Good to know that Mr. Murthy was recognized. One thing I do not understand is why the nominees have to fill out paper work in order to be recognized? I really think the Indian government should change its format. Again my two cents, removing the ‘worthless’ though I personally think it is….lol

Hope Shweta had a fab birthday with loved ones!!
Yep never speak to soon, but hey also never say never!!! I asked you a couple of weeks ago when we met about ur back pains n you brushed them off casually by saying in ur humble manner ‘Yeh toh hota rahata hai’ So I rest my case, as much as the gym was a good enough motivation or dedication n routinely gesture in order to keep all faculty’s in ship shape, did u really have to exert it dat following morning??? Naturally u would’ve stretched ur poor muscles n veins to da ground…
Really Amithji wot we gonna do with you??? Did u ever learn to just relax once in a while??? OKAY ENOUGH BEING MUM….
Wow big salute to VK Murthyji.. amazing those golden days were sort of magical… ur rite nowadays as much as the Indian fraternity have so many talented beings in all areas of film making, those golden days had a touch of their own….Movies, songs, dialogues, one can watch over and over again… Nowadays how many times does one want to see the same film again n again, unless a few in the minority that have had some sort of dramatic influence and affect….
Okay my eyes are too droopy right now as it hits 1.30am..n work early start..
Well I’m sending you some healing powers to ease your pains.. and God willing you feel no further distress my dear… Please listen to that delicate back of yours…
My lov as always for a pain free anatomy
By the way was ET a new word from now on that you made up or merely a typing error???

Dear Mr. AB,
I am so sorry to hear that the effect of your resounding “Shut up” did not outlast the day.
Phyllis at #70 was musing that ” your brave words did not leave you with a lasting positive effect, but who knows what fruits they will bring forth out here in the rest of the universe?”
Well, I am a very chota (choti??) part of the universe, but you sure helped convince me to tackle those pesky weeds my California garden has grown during a long rainy winter! And somebody out here may well have done something a lot more useful than that.
Is there anything we can do to cheer you up?
When I don’t know what to say, I often resort to my favorite songs.
Here is Donovan with the most soothing song I know.
Deep peace of the running wave to you;
Deep peace of the flowing air to you;
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you;
Deep peace, deep peace.
Deep peace of the sleeping stones to you;
Deep peace of the wandering wind to you;
Deep peace of the flock of stars to you;
Deep peace, deep peace.
Deep peace of the Eastern wind to you;
Deep peace of the Western wind to you;
Deep peace of the Northern wind to you;
Blue wind of the South to you;
Pure red of the whirling flame to you;
Pure white of the silver moon to you;
Pure green of the emerald grass to you;
Deep peace, deep peace.
Deep peace of the running wave to you;
Deep peace of the flowing air to you;
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you;
Deep peace, deep peace . . .
Deep peace, deep peace . . .
Deep peace, deep peace . . .
Not on youtube sadly, wish I could hum it to you…..
My love and fervent wishes for a better tomorrow,
Renate
AMit ji,
In the night you were stealing someone’s treasury and the next day morning Jaya ji was pregnant !! WOW…
SMILE PLEASE.

Dear Lion King,
A very happy birthday to Shweta. Lovely to hear that she was in that scene in Sholay, she was the good luck charm for the film then, no wonder Sholay was a blockbuster.
You have paid a wonderful tribute to Mr VK Murthy. Technicians are the lesser known yet very important members of your fraternity. It is good to hear of the befitting awards that Mr Murthy gets.
Looking forward to the Monday…
with love and more

Dear Amitji
I hope your feeling fine now. Its nice to know about your Shewta and i wish her success always.
It so happens the hard work on many go unnoticed and at times after many many years when an award is declared in their names, they are nostalgic! and why not!..they truly deserve this tribute and honour…Happy St Patrick’s Day to all!

DEAREST EVER LION KING,
JAI SHREE KRISHNA,
OUR HEARTIEST GREETING FOR GUDI PADVA, UGADI, CHAITRA NAVRATRA. MAY GOD BLESS ALL.
MANY MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY TO DEAR NIKHILJI.
LOTS OF LOVE
Sonal & Simran
Dearest Amitji,
Firstly a very happy Gudi Padwa and Ugadi to you and all our EF. Wish the new year brings in unlimited joy and prosperity for all of us. I am so sorry to read that the pain has returned. I sincerely wish and pray that it goes off real fast. Yesterday only I had written about your positive and inspirational post and how we should all say shut up to our problems. And to my great surprise and dismay the post got deleted somehow. (My second reply was posted though.) Anyway you were quite correct when you said that we should remain optimistic as the more we fret and mope the more it takes us in its grip. A negative mindset never does anybody any good. So just practice what you wrote earlier. The results will definitely show.
With lots and lots and many more lots of of good wishes and even more lots of hugs and mmmmmmmmmuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhs,
Yours ever,
SASWATI BANERJEE
KOLKATA.
My dearest Mr. Bachchan,
Iam sorry the pain of your back has reappeared and disturbed you again today.
Sometimes it is like that, and we get our inner strength and endurance challenged more.
And I do agree with you that sometimes talking about something may get its effect to disappear, as if we have got its spell broken and its magic to stop by revealing about it.
But I hope this belief wouldn’t affect the flow of your thoughts and feelings, you have been expressing your emotions and the impact of your state of mind on your condition, and it is saddening that it didn’t work today, and that your pain has even deprived you from your positivity that prevailed yesterday.
It is so true that talking about something we intend to do consumes much of our focus, mental and physical energy. So we end up wasting lots of our energy only on talking without real achievement. It is better then to save our power and strength and invest them in working and in realizing our goal.
But sorry to disagree with you, it is not at all times that silence and not speaking up is a sign of weakness. Silence indicates depth of thoughts and prudence and carefulness in action.
Actually iam not familiar with VK Murthy or his works, but it is such a great gesture to recognize and acknowledge his work and achievement, for technicians indeed play an important part in the production of the work of art and their efforts deserve the mention and praise.
Though I didn’t watch these movies of his with Guru Dutt, but iam sure that nothing f the classic movies can be made today and would give the same impression or attract the same interest. There is something about these classics that can’t be implemented in the new ones. Their simplicity is the source of their charm, and they bear the souls of their makers who depended more on their artistic and creative sense than on advanced and technological means of our present times.
Happy birthday to Shweta, and may this new year bring her all what her heart desires for.
It is interesting to know about the Hindu Calendar and the beginning of its new year…
I wish you, your loved ones and all EF a happy Gudi Padwa..
I hope the pain eases and fades away…and i hope you will be allowed a restful and painless sleep..
Goodnight & sweetest dreams..
Lots of love to you,
Rasha Zayed,

Hi Amitji!
Ah! Invariably when you say you are free of all pain or that you haven’t suffered from a fever for eons you are forced to eat your words back! the ‘Touch Wood” doesn’t work at all! Our elders therefore would ask us not to talk thus! with your Gymming routine back all aches and pains will go for sure!
Wishing you health and Happiness!
Shubha
The tribute that you have paid to Mr V K Murthy is great! Pyaasa, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam are unforgettable movies and the scenes that you talk of have been imprinted in our hearts and minds permanently….Thanks to these great personalities and the passionate movie makers of those times. Thanks once again for appraising all of us about Mr Murthy.
Shubha
It is great on your part that you praise the past legends and become fondly associated with the great art of the past.I am very fond of films of the past old golden days and get enamoured to see the art and it’s deftness of those days,when there was no sophisticated technology to cope with different needs of the situation to depict on the scenes.Emotions rise and the viewer can not stop them,and a few artists also get emotional at such prize giving functions.Their attachments to the hard work they performed in bringing such films to us naturally causes the emotional tears.Our strong feelings of gratitude are with such great personalities[Doyens].Thanks for creating a sense of purpose in life—Amitabh Jee!
Sir
Hope you had a peaceful night. Have a restful day ahead. Your yesterday theory
of posiiveness surely works. The physical pain may have been too overwhelming to overshadow, but still……..
hello amit ji
nice to know abt shweta and when did abhishek make his presence felt.
it is always a pleasure to read your blog and so many times i have come to know abt the various indian festivals thru ur blog.As an indian living abroad, i tend to miss so many .
thanks for keeping me connected .
with regards
#145 Renate…..Loved the song…..very soothing and comforting! Well chosen!
Dear Amitji ,
Greetings to u, your family and all our extended family who reads your blog everyday and enjoy it to the core (like me) …
Its nice to hear that your dear daughter Shweta was a Part of Sholay iside her moms womb!! She would have felt then what a dedicated, hardworking parents she has… and the dedication of the couple to the film industry !!
Very nice post and its really nice of you to admire the well deserved dada saheb phalke award to VK Murthy !! Again a lovely post !!
#82 Saratchandra…Thank you for your wishes! Wish you too a Happy Ugadi, Gudi Padwa!
Satyam: Interesting reactions today. Thanks to Saratchandra and was watching these old classics again after a long time and yes these deserve to be left alone . Any fidgiting on these will be a disaster unless the technical work is really brilliant. BTW there was a South Indian classic (Narthansala) which was recently restored in colour and it was a brilliant effort . The impact has been considerably enhanced and it was a joy to watch these in the restored format . Yes R. Thackrey deserves what you menton for calling VT. Off late they have become a luaghing stock wasting their energies and talents (if it all there were any) on pithy and trivial matters of not any significance and everybody from Tendulakar to Asha Bhonsle (Or is it Lataji) have to politely show their place and standing. Such acts will only show them in a very low limelight and the lusture has been lost significantly with these umtoward and irrelevant protests/dharnas ..or whatever
I’m back from the Film Forum where I saw the 1927 Clara Bow silent “Hula” with live piano by the great Steve Sterner(who also attends the Sons of the Desert meetings). Following the screening, they showed 35 minutes of an otherwise lost 1922 Victor Fleming film, “Red Hot Romance” a satire about selling insurance in the mythical country of Bunkonia. Many of the intertitles were unreadable and many scenes were missing, but the curator announced that it would be the only chance to see it screened in New York.
In better times I would be at one of 2 great St Patricks Day punk shows, either seeing Murphys Law or Gang Green, both old school. But instead I controlled myself and skipped them.
As Phyllis mentioned in comment #85, once again I was on a train while commenting on the post. Part of my subway line is outdoors so I can connect there if I leave before you post. Today I was again on my way to the chiropractor because he wants to see me three times a week before my insurance runs out in a few months. I have scoliosis whcih my parents ignored when I was younger. I mentioned about your back problems and he offered me his card to give you. I said that Mumbai is a little far.
I hope you are feeling better now and have a spring in your walk once again.
Love,
Rochelle
Phyllis- I get around by subway and practically live on it. I love Jimmie Rogers’ hits ‘Honeycomb’ and ‘Sweeter than Wine’. Thanks to your link I’ve watched some of his other songs and he is one of my favorites too, as is Hank Williams Sr. I don’t think my mother has written about trains, but she wrote a story about getting lost and not finding the Belt Parkway here in Brooklyn.
Thank you very much for the NEW YEAR’S greetings, I reciprocate with all my love and respect. May you have healthy, peaceful and active life for many more decades to come.
My greetings also for St. Patrick Day to all. Thank you Shankar for drawing our attention to this great Day.
Shweta was also part of Sholay ! Wonderful !! You have to convince her to come on the screen, if not in a suitable role in a movie, at least in a chat show on some TV programme. She is already dear to the EF.
Thank you for informing that Shri VK Murthy is the new recipient of Dada Saheb Phalke Award, the first technician to receive this coveted Award.. I was happy to know that he has already been awarded Life Time Achievement Award at an IIFA. He is behind those masterpiece of Hindi cinema and therefore richly deserve such great honours. My congratulations to this great man.
I pray that you are soon out of these pains and discomforts. We always want to see you energetic, active and in full flow.
Thank you for this great post.
With love and love only,
vishan lal
Dear Amitji,
Sad that the pain came back and put you in out-of-mood mode. We pray that you will be better today and refreshing as usual self. Our Birthday wishes to Dear Shweta .
Your memories of Jayaji being pregnant during Sholay took us back to those years. MEMORY IS LIKE PERFUME BOTTLE. Take a little bit .smell it and you will be transformed to your own world.
Sleep Well and when can I meet you in your office???
Best Regards
Sadasivan
My dearest Amithji,
OH!! you are again in pain! Please learn to relax.You have heard this a million times from us, but still I want to say it, do not work tooo much & catch up on some sleep!
:) ha, ha, ha,
Now we are all “extra terrestrial”??:)
OOOOOOOOOk, so jayaji was carrying Shwetha at the time of “Sholay”?
Look at Shwetha now, much taller than her mom & the apple of your eye!One lucky girl! Born to the manor just like Abhi!!!
You always appreciated stuntmen, spotboys, technicians et all, who contributed for the making of a film! And now they being recognised in a big way by your fraternity is definitely worth a mention.My congratulations to sri VK MURTHY!
And, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SRI NIKHIL NANDA”
love you always,
with regards,

Sorry for reappearance. Is it possible Sir to post a picture of Shri V.K. Murthy on the blog before it appears in the newspapers?
On such moments I do remember SATYAM, I hope he or some other member of EF can suggest a link.
vishan lal
#142, Lakshmi Jag, agree with u , V.K. Murthy in “Chaudvin Ka Chand” esp. the tiltle song was outstanding, even in “Pyaasa” he has managed to capture Waheeda Rehman’s beauty to the hilt, super talent that man has been endowed with ,those expressions and their varied nuances only someone like him could have done justice to ,I feel.

I liked very mch your creative writing style. you just rock. I want to appreciate to you…

Dear Amitabh Bachchan,
Thank you for your wishes and Happy New Year to all who celebrate it at this time !
*
I am sorry you had another night and day in pain… But I do not think what you wrote yesterday lost any power of meaning or truth behind it. If you have a problem with your back it can not go away too soon : ). But yesterday was the day of real victory of your spirit over your body and mind condition.. And I thank you for sharing your experience … The fact that today was different and harder does not diminish anything learned yesterday. Somehow it is also true - when we talk less about things they remain ‘safer’. Sharing is always a little of a sacrifice, a giving …
Please, take good care of your health, be gentle to it and patient with it : )
*
Despite not feeling your best today you wrote such a wonderful entry ! A delightful reading …
So, your spirit still remains victorious and I pray and wish for your body to feel better…
I love your thought - “And its not important that what we do is talked about. So long as the reason for what we do, are taken in beneficially to the person for whom we do. Cause and reason should know. Not who contributed to the cause or reason. Better this way.”
“How wasteful is life when you have nothing to do. How insincere one feels, how helpless and inadequate. One must keep doing. Does not matter whether it is big or small, just keep doing it. Someday someone shall recognize it. Credit is not what one would want to look for. The quality and intensity of the work is important. Credit becomes personal, individual. It shall remain within one, whereas the work done should be devoid of that individuality, should be more universal and all encompassing, including and identifiable with the common man or woman. For their benefit and well being.” - deep and beautiful thoughts.
*
Also what you wrote on Guru Dutt films and technicians like VK Murthy and their involvement and quality of their work was very interesting and I completely share your praise and appreciation of cinema of those days !
And how you spoke about giving the Lifetime Achievement Award to VK Murthy and your phrase - “ Our lives shall always be enriched by the humility and greatness of such individuals”-deeply touched me.
*
I will repeat myself and thank you for sharing about “Sholay” and Jaya being with Shweta there..
It made me feel more tenderness and nostalgia for this wonderful work of Indian cinema …
I have to hurry because it is a dinner time here.. And I hope your day goes well …
May God bless you and your family.
My love and prayers.
Tatiana S. USA
Hello Mr. Bachchan,
Just confused… I thought Abhishek said (On Bingo during his 1st show) that “he was in Ma’s tummy when Sholay was being filmed” but on the blog you said it was Shweta…. hmmmmm I saw that Bingo episode and actually you were there also during the first episode…. Please clarify…
Other than that.. keep rocking !!
Lots of Love..
dearest amitji
a very happy birthday to shweta.
I am at work right now working the night shift so thought I would take a minute to write to you. Have you gotten to talk to dharmji; I was reading that he got admitted for chest pain and fatigue. I recently saw an article saying that you and abishek were amongst the top in bollywood for best dressed; that is great amitji. you are definitely an inspiration in how you are so dedicated and hard working. Take care amitji and lots of love to everyone. sincerely, dr sunir kumar from pittsburgh
Hi! Happy cheti chand ! Forgot the Sindhis ! Hhaah.
Change you mattress, it may help.
The old movies do have their own charm, though the new genration may lebel the old generation as meloncholy generation.Well, each to its own.
Have a great time.
With lots of good wishes,

Dear Amitji, Good morning. Congratulations to VK Murthy for the Dada Saheb Phalke award. No role is small role in film making. Role of a cameraman is also very important role because he captures the film’s visuals and that is life of the film. Honouring him does lot of justice to his dedication and we respect that honour.
Doing nothing does not happen in a working man’s life. When body is not occupied the mind is. Yes physical discomfort can be nagging uneasiness which disturbs the routine.
When you returned the keys in Sholay Jayaji was pregnant with real life love and later in the film with love for you which could never surface. Our real lives are also full of such instances where the real love could never be expressed and the person is lost in the crowds. Never to return back in our life. One remains forever pregnant with his love for someone. No doubt we make up that love with what comes actually in our life and it is more than that pregnant love.
It may be a challenge to make a movie like yesteryearsin todays world. I am sure if an attempt is made it can be a success. It will need a lot of understanding on the part of director and cinematographer to narrate a story with emotional nuances. Hope it will work. We need someone to give it a try.
My regards to all the immortal names you mentioned who gave us immortal films and performances. Some long gone away and some amongst us. So we can understand what is the value of waheedaji.

Hi Amitabh Bachchan Ji ( California),
Happy Gudi Pahwa and Chaitra Navratra to you also. it is 2000 hrs here. I happen to read your blog everyday at my job and feel them to be so easy to read, understand and connect with especially while staying in foreign land. it makes me wonder why people create this myth that you are out of this world, God perhaps with whom we can never connect with. I can feel right here as if I am talking to my uncle or elderly person in my family while reading your blog. Is it possible that you can write back to us few words thru our email so we can cherish it all our lives. Needless to say, my husband and I are biggest fans of you and we really appreciate how you are still active till today.
HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER, GOD BLESS YOU
Amitabh Ji, if you really happen to see my reply and I am lucky that you actually decide to send me email, then I can show it to my oriental friends your email. One of them asked me last year after watching Slumdog Millionaire ” Kelly is it real that in your country there is such a big movie star that the kid jumped in poop to get a glimpse of him”. Well, its another story that I narrated your complete biography to them
Respected Brother
Sadar Charan Sparsh
If indeed Kagaz ke Phool, Pyaasa, Chuadhavin Ka Chand and Sahib Biwi aur hulam were the cinematographic genius of VK Murthy.. he indeed deserves a loud applause and conferring the highest honour.. indeed the sequences you discussed here from some of the best Hindi movies of our times depict and describe very aptly what Cinematography does to the movie as a whole.. how it builds up a role in the catching moments of the theme.. especially Na jaao Saiyaan chhudake baiyaan.. oh what a song.. what an imaginative picturisation.. what a great enactment by Meena Kumari.. I can only guess how the picture would have fared because of this particular song-sequence.. Pyaasa.. is one movie which if it is voted as Guru Dutt’s greatest work would be an understatement.. if it is rated as one of the best of Hindi Cinema would still fall short of its due recognition.. Pyaasa was in no uncertain ways one of the World’s best.. I for one would love you to do some similar role someday.. Guru Dutt incidentally was Vijay in that character..
The two best in the business of cricket the Sachin and Sehwag had different fates.. Sachin leading from front.. picking up runs at almost will yet not taking risks.. Sehwag took all the risks and yet did not get anywhere near his best.. such is the uncertainty that comes packed up with cricket that one can not know what may befall on one team and who may do wonders for other.. Saurabh Tiwary has been consistent with his bat.. if he is part of 30 probable for T20 world cup he deserves to be accommodated in 15 or 16 that would be the final list..
I am disappointed with Delhi’s performance.. they are not at all experimenting with either composition of the team.. batting order.. bowling options.. it is sad that such a talented team had to be humiliated in such a manner.. nearly hundred runs.. it is almost like an innings defeat in Test cricket.. Yet the tournament is still in its infancy.. things would probably work out for better for them and they may find themselves back in their grooves to deliver when it matters..

Vishan Lal: Pictures of V K Murthy in old age are easy to come by but here’s one where he’s scouting for locations in Bengal with Guru Dutt for a film:

Respected Amitji,
Ohhhhh i am soo sorry that ur pain showed up again. But i do hope it has subsided last night and provided some much required comfort. Sirji.. you pushed yourself so hard and overdid things i guess… but positive vibes did work to all of us and did start off well in the morning. Well what was in store for us by the end of the day, yeh tho aap jaante hi he. Hmm thats a different story all together. Anyway chodiye sirji, we have to cycle thru our lives!
Aahhhaa.. thanks for wishing us for Ugadi. Wondered why u had not..but happy and very happy now to receive ur wishes and blessings.
Hmmm yess that scene in Sholay when u hand over keys to Jayaji.. Yes i remember .. who can forget any scene. Zrrrrrrr karke aagaya dhimaak mein. But sir what surprises me is that it is not seen in that scene that Jaya ji and you were intense in that scene with serious face. Baap re. With such a good news to share and it comes on face automatically, jaya ji and you have maintained the continuity of the scene so well.. Kudos to you both once more!!
My deepest respects to the veteran VK Murthy. I am happy more cos he is from our own state. We are proud and very proud of you Murthy saab. Who can replace such superb shots of all those songs u have mentioned. Ha thanks sirji you have subtly answered my questions on ur fav songs of those years. You are true, people now have no patience to see such subtle and such intense pure shots at all. It has to with millions dancers, jarring background score and heavy lighting. Thanks for speaking about him at such length and with so much of affection.
What special did you eat for Shweta’s bday???

Jasmine: I am sometimes in a Swiftian mood (of A Modest Proposal)! But I do feel strongly about the ‘colorizing’ impulse. In the late 80s/early 90s they attempted this in the US with a few classics including Casablanca. Luckily it died a quick death.
Dearest Amitji,
Greetings.
How are you today? I guess you had a peaceful night and had enough rest. Take care and look after yourself.
Happy Gudi Padwa Happy Ugadi And a prosperous New Year to you and your family.
Sholay is amongst my favourite film. I adore Jay the character you enacted in Sholay. The story, dialogues were outstanding and even remembered today. “Tumhara Naam kya hai Basanti?” “Itna Sannatta kyun hai” AK Hangal.
Sirji, love you so very much….. Take care……muuuaahhhhhhh.
Loveyou,

Amitabhji,
I am eagerly waiting for a mail from you.
Umesh: Like you I too never saw the colorized Mughal-e-Azam. I see your larger point but what bothers me is less the idea of who’s accessing the film (colorized or not Guru Dutt will be a minority taste!) and more the degree to which an artist’s vision is as I see it desecrated. We don’t do this with writers! Or any other sort of artist. It is particularly painful to consider this for a director who’s films are marvels in black and white. I also don’t really believe that more people would watch these films in color. There are so many other classics in color. Who watches them? But again I am opposed to it on principle. It further advances the notion of black and white cinema somehow being inferior to color or just a more primitive cinema.
Tej: thanks for your comment…
Phyllis: well said..
Thanks to all who have sent wishes for Ugadi.
Here’s is wishing Happy St. Patricks Day to all those who celebrate and who donot celebrate too. Afterall, every festival is meant to spread happiness, prosperity and health.
Dear Brother
There were some errors in the earlier post and later in the subsequent post it was not 19 but 16 years back that we lost Alok Da.. May I dedicate a few songs to him.. indeed these songs were more dear to him..
1. Chupke chupake raat din ansoo bahana yaad hai..
2. Zindagi pyaar ki do chaar ghadi hot hai..
3. Hawaon pe likhdo hawaon ke naam..
4. Teri himmat pe putli hamen naaz hai..
5. Koi hamadam na raha koi sahara na raha..
6. Waqt ne kiya kyaa haseen sitam
7. Yeh kooche yeh galiyan.. yeh ghar khudkushi ke..
kahan hai.. kahan hai..
jinhen naaz par hind hai
vo kahaan hai…
8. Jab jaag uthe armaan to kaise neend aaye
9. Aa neel gagan tale pyaar hum karen
10. Jaane wo kaise log thhey jinke pyaar ko pyaar mila..
I know I may not be doing justice to him.. by remembering him every time.. He meant so much to me.. I admit that Khorana, Dr. Bachchan and sports were introduced to me by him..
Dekhi zamaane ki yaari
bichhade sabhi
bichhade sabji baari baari
and sad indeed it was to learn of the sudden death of Dr. Bhaskar Sen.. we had spent time together over cigarettes.. even science.. he would always remind me of Alok Da.. as he was jovial and most welcoming kind opf person.. Bhaskar da.. I wish I had known or had found out the details of your last rites.. if it were to be in Mumbai.. I would have been there to be a part of your last journey from this world.. Highly Affable man.. he too did not have much success in his marriage life.. and I learned only yesterday that she was a Gujarat Girl.. are things really connected.. I would not know.. Peace be with you Dr. Bhaskar Sen and my beloved Alok Da..

Sadar Charan Sparsh
If indeed Kagaz ke Phool, Pyaasa, Chuadhavin Ka Chand and Sahib Biwi aur hulam were the cinematographic genius of VK Murthy.. he indeed deserves a loud applause and conferring the highest honour.. indeed the sequences you discussed here from some of the best Hindi movies of our times depict and describe very aptly what Cinematography does to the movie as a whole.. how it builds up a role in the catching moments of the theme.. especially Na jaao Saiyaan chhudake baiyaan.. oh what a song.. what an imaginative picturisation.. what a great enactment by Meena Kumari.. I can only guess how the picture would have fared because of this particular song-sequence.. Pyaasa.. is one movie which if it is voted as Guru Dutt’s greatest work would be an understatement.. if it is rated as one of the best of Hindi Cinema would still fall short of its due recognition.. Pyaasa was in no uncertain ways one of the World’s best.. I for one would love you to do some similar role someday.. Guru Dutt incidentally was Vijay in that character..
The two best in the business of cricket the Sachin and Sehwag had different fates.. Sachin leading from front.. picking up runs at almost will yet not taking risks.. Sehwag took all the risks and yet did not get anywhere near his best.. such is the uncertainty that comes packed up with cricket that one can not know what may befall on one team and who may do wonders for other.. Saurabh Tiwary has been consistent with his bat.. if he is part of 30 probable for T20 world cup he deserves to be accommodated in 15 or 16 that would be the final list..
I am disappointed with Delhi’s performance.. they are not at all experimenting with either composition of the team.. batting order.. bowling options.. it is sad that such a talented team had to be humiliated in such a manner.. nearly hundred runs.. it is almost like an innings defeat in Test cricket.. Yet the tournament is still in its infancy.. things would probably work out for better for them and they may find themselves back in their grooves to deliver when it matters..
Love, Respect and Emotions

PS I remember Alok da who in the early hours of this day was shot down point blank some 16 years back..

Dearest Dad Big Bachchan,
It is a pleasure to recollect your thoughts as child……..your enquiring mind as a child………….the ancestors live in your siblings………..feel the love, warmth………..joy and happiness you gave to your beloved………….Living a legacy generation after generation……………Lets venture togather for making of film……………agreed? lets understand your partner before venturing into making your dream venture……………….Black Taj mahal….filmscript already sent in comments…………..OK…..hmmmmmmmmm……ET…..Amitabh bachchan….super star of Bollwood…….Global Great Gambler………Don………Jay…..
Joint venture proposal is really just a fancy way of saying to your potential partner, “Hey, let’s do a deal.”
· “What’s in this for me?”
More specifically, they’ll be wondering how exactly you might be able to benefit them and their company.
· “What’s in it for them”. Now, before I get into more details about this, it is important to note that you must have something of great value to offer your potential partner.
Furthermore, it is absolutely crucial that your offer is laser-targeted, relevant and highly beneficial to their clients - as well as very lucrative for your potential partner. It’s also very important to research your potential partner (and their company) in order to see what they would most likely be looking for - and it’s not always more money, believe it or not….
With this in mind, let’s take a look at how to write your proposal so that it pushes your partner’s “buttons” - to the point where they’d have to be insane to turn down your offer…
————————————————————————————————–
1. What is your potential partner looking for specifically? Find this out by talking to them, reading their mission statement and researching them - as well as how they make decisions. This will reveal the “button” that you’ll need to press as you describe the benefits of the partnership (ie. more profits, something new to offer their clients, giving their business a new edge on competition, etc.)
2. Make an offer they can’t refuse. Again, this will also take some research, but within reason, you should bend over backwards to accommodate your potential partner and make it as profitable for them as possible. Remember that the clients you acquire from a joint venture will purchase from you again and again - and it’s usually the “backend profits” after the JV where the real money gets made…
3. Make it as easy as possible for them to say “yes”. People in general are obnoxiously lazy. Many of my proposals have been rejected simply because it either seemed too complicated - or it sounded like too much work to them, regardless of how lucrative it was. Simplify your proposal, and if necessary, take on the majority of the workload - remember that you’re sitting on a goldmine!
4. Show them the money. Don’t be vague when it comes to potential earnings. Logically explain to your prospect how much they could reasonably earn from the partnership. It is very important that you do not simply make an “educated guess” - base your predictions entirely on your current marketing stats, sales conversion rates and other real data. This is likely the most overlooked - yet crucial - part of any given JV proposal.
5. Be personal. A “canned” or impersonal proposal likely won’t even make it more than ten seconds before getting tossed in the garbage. Relate to your prospect and emphasize their values by validating their interests, goals and passions. Also, if you want to really make an impact, send your proposal as a hard copy via FedEx. Email is simply too easy to ignore, erase or forget about.
6. Add a real sense of urgency. You want to subtly hint to your potential partner that you won’t wait long to hear back from them - which is true, because if they say “no”, you’ll have to find someone else anyway. Word this in such a way that it compels them to action either way - but don’t be overbearing, deceptive or unrealistic.
7. And most importantly, build rapport with your prospect. You must understand that the majority of business people - especially those that are very successful - would much rather work with someone that they know, like and trust than a complete stranger. In fact, it’s crucial that you do this before you even send them a proposal……………………..first step lets be friends………..before making the film……….Black Tajmahal.
Lets have a joint meeting with shweta to finalise the script, cast and locations……..first step………ET.
With tons of love to Great Bachchans………..Take care……….Birbal.
Step Son…….. in -Law………..Bachchan.
Dear Mr Bachchan,
I do hope you are feeling better now. Please take care.

Dear Sir
Thanks for the wishes and same to you..
It is sheer your work load at this age causes pains..We will urge to cut down and take some breaks also in between..
Thanks & regards
The only person who talk less is SRK
Respected Amit Ji,
Namaskar,
Thank u so much for ur wishes..they mean a lot….
plz tak care of urslf n have rest plz plz plz/////no kaam just aaram ha ha BINGo line..but seriously plz take care of urself sir…wish u get well soon…
warm regads…sakshi…
Hi Mr. Bachchan
I hope Shweta enjoyed her birthday, if I am not wrong then its Nikhil Nanda’s birthday a day or two later so many congratulations to him.
I am glad u shared some facts about the brilliance of V.K. Murthy, I knew about the work he did in Guru Dutt’s films but was unaware about Ram Balram & Nastik.
Hope you had a peaceful & painless night…
Take care
Love & regards
Anu Verma
I must be mindful, Mr Bachchan, that the highest object of truth and perfection venerates me, that which cannot be questioned by any other form of rollover and drums of oily food. I look in perfection to that object flying high, finding answers, messages and directives from my dad, correcting its course being faster than the object.
What with all that is said of you, you are a true nerd finding solace elsewhere in the Radio Jocks. A picture is worth thousand words, but as words are more you are constrained. Be Reticent. Don’t worry! I will write a song about myself. Ride on. I did the “Dead man’s gun”, and am all waiting [to-do] for the next in series, “His last bullet.” Join the Vanaras.
Hi Sir,
Not pleasant to hear that the pain was back! Although, hoping that it was not too bad and discomforting. After seeing the healthy results yesterday and talking about the benefits brought by routine, it is natural to say that “only if I had not talked about it, then perhaps the same would have happened today instead of the opposite as it did.” This is such a natural state of dealing with the matter, we all do it especially when watching sports. Bringing it back to ourselves in the sense that if it was not for us being open or watching in the case of sports, then all else would have stayed well. Though, how can it be said for sure that even if you had not said anything then the pain would not have come? Or if you had not watched the game your team would have won? Another interesting point to consider, don’t you think?
Those beautiful moments created by films of the past had defining moments belonging uniquely to that time period and comparing it today’s films you are right that those elements are absent. Technicians always play a crucial role in the making of a film and by honoring them is a step forward to making the audience more aware of their roles. Congratulations to VK Murthy. And a very Happy Birthday to Shweta and hope it brought in lots of happiness.
Regards and Love,
S

Determination and will power is what life is all about …because manmade forces can only be addressed by manmade forces …but nature has its own ways. We exercise to refresh the mind and body, to be fit and healthy…not to torture the system. Never, ever , defy the laws of nature…when the body is in pain, never exercise, instead go for a walk or a jog…on your tread mill or on the cross trainer…because , for obvious reasons you cannot avail of the long walk in a park or something. Swimming is a good option in summer…am sure you would have access to a pool, without intrusion on your privacy. Of , course swimming is not the best for the tresses, which is why many of us avoid it !!!
Gyms are in vogue these days, for various options, fitness, body building etc. And are really the best option for fitness, if there are constraints of parks, long walks etc. So, enjoy yourself and take care.
Colour has its importance in life, but nothing to beat the magic of black, white and sepia. Garrulous colours can be an eye sore…and we have many such !!!
Am glad you have acknowledged a technician or rather a photo expert, for the magic he and Guru Dutt created. I have mentioned my total admiration for his works, earlier too and am really glad you have added to the awareness of many who would be unaware. Better late than never.
In your third para, you have referred to the respondents as Extra Terrestrial….was if butter fingers ? or was it pun intended ?….greetings on your daughter’s birthday…sorry , missed that out
My best wishes
Dear Bachchan Saab,
We all pray to the Almighty for your fastest recovery from pain.
Best wishes,

HI BIG B,
I ALWAYS LOVED YR LOVE FOR PPL THIS WORLD IGNORE.I KNOW U ALWAYS CARE 4 THEM N I JUST LOVED IT.THATS SO NICE OF U . TAKE CARE MAN.
Hello my dear sir, hope your pain subsides soon. I wish you to know that sometimes our physical pains are indicating us to stop and reflect on an internal emotional pain or feeling waiting to surface and be resolved. No meds needed as our body can heal itself when the health block is released. You might already be aware me this. Hope you reflect and be joyous in health soon. TC.
Hello Honey…………..
Happy Gudi Padwa
Happy Ugadi
And a prosperous New Year …….. to U & all the FmXt.
I am worried about Ur pain. I pray it vanishes immediately. It clicked my mind when I heard U gymmed hard with the pain. I surprised to know that pain reduced. U were wrong. try breathing exercises. it helps a lot.
1. take breath from one side of nose (close another with finger) and leave the air by another (close the other side). now take breath with that side and now leave it with the other. do it in empty stomach for 5 mins at a time for 5-6 times a day. do it as long as U feel comfortable.
2. take breath (full of chest) and keep it inside and count 10 or 20 then leave it slowly. do this exercise for 5 mins in empty stomach at a time for 5-6 times a day. do it as long as U feel comfortable.
Belated Happy Birthday to Shweta. Hope best for her bright future.
Thanks a lot for sharing the rarest moment from SHOLAY. I can feel, how much U trust us. Thank U darling………….
The golden scenes of B&W cinema U have mentioned today. Now whole day I can hear Geeta Dutt’s voice. such a touchy, lovely voice.
Love U endlessly.

I read your blogs off & on. But always I am in admiration of your style of writing. Sometimes you just play with words & always generous with them to convey what you are thinking.
For the last 10 yrs I have been a house wife, when my kids are in school I feel that there is nothing to do. I do not want a full time career ( worked in many MNCs in marketing & customer care for 9 yrs) & my kids are my life. Yet all that I do goes unnoticed & having no recognisation or appreciation has become a part of my life. Reading of your words suddenly made me realize that all the appreciation in the world does not lessen your pain and you still have to fight your battles. Hope & pray that you recover fast. Have a great day. Love & prayers, Ruchi Jay John, B’lore
hi…how r u….missed ur blog…… me goin thru sum major stress…. u tke care of ur health please….god bless u always…
Here’s one way of looking at it.. if it hurts.. it still works
. Im 29, and suffer from something called DVT (deep vein thrombosis) , multiple blood clots, and my right leg just aches all the time. Some days are bad, and some days are worse. I question God asking, what Ive done to deserve this. Then outta the blue, I see someone without limbs, without hands, without sight and Im reminded to be greatful.
I know it isnt easy to focus on the positive when there’s a crippling pain, cascading your every movement, but if you look around, God in his glory will remind you of his blessings.
To all the aching souls and the aching bones…
Have a splendid day.

Respected Mr.Bachchan,
A belated birthday wish to your loving daughter Shweta!Wish her all the best in life!Also wish that you could sleep well and the back pain is gone for good!Please do not neglect back pain if it persists..
Mr.v.k.Murthy had a long association with Gurudutt.Gurudutt’s films got their due only after his passing away.The ‘light and shade’ effect in his songs used to be magical and is considered the best ever in hindi films till date.In the song,’ye mehlon ye takhton,ye taajon ki duniya…’,Gurudutt stands at the balcony door,light falling on his back from behind.It’s a long shot.Wonderful song,lyrics of which were by the great,unmatched,Sahir Ludhiyanvi.The combination of wonderful lyrics,composition,rendition by the great Rafi and the picturisation,has immortalised this song!Black and white did have it’s own mysterious,magical quality..colour can never bring out the same effect!In ’sahab,bibi aur ghulam’,the first ever shot of Meena kumari,as chhoti bahu,when Bhootnath,i.e.,Gurudutt sees her for the first time,is really powerful.I,for one,had never seen Meena kumari look so beautiful and regal as she did in that scene..there was something divine in the way she was presented in the scene. Bhootnath does become speechless,after seeing her then.Great camera work!
It’s wonderful that Mr.Murthy has got the much deserved Dada saheb Phalke award.My congratulations to this great yet simple man!
Do take care Sir!
With much warmth…

Dear Sir,
Indeed I agree with your comment that one should not vother about the credit for the work but should worry about the quality and intensity of the work.
However there should not be an insecurity in anyone regarding the work. If our quality of woprk is good and we are committed, the work will keep coming to us.
http://www.dastaknews.com
Just thought I’d come back and say that you put me in the mood to watch an old B/W film , so I just finished watching ‘Pyaar Ka Saagar’ and it was magical. I just wish the songs had subtitles, but I still enjoyed every one of them. And what an ending!
Good night.
Love,

Dear Amitabh Uncleji,
Happy Gudi Radwa to you too ! Today women also celebrate Gangaur Puja in Rajasthan - this is the last day of the Puja and after worshipping for 16 days, today is the time that the Lord has to be immersed in the holy waters. It is compulsory for women who have got married the same year to do the Puja as must all married women do, and also single young ladies worship to get their life-partners.
Do take care of your health Uncleji.
Lots of respects to you Sir ji,
Your fan till I die,

Hi Mr Bachchan
Hope shweta had a wonderful birthday.
I am also a great admirer of Guru dutt’s films cinematography especially the song ‘waqt ne kiya ..’ and ‘aaj sajan mohe ang laga..’.The second is a fav of mine.So beautifully picturised. I was unaware that VK Murthy is behind the cinematography of ‘nastik’ and ‘Ram balram’.
It’s sad to hear that the therapy to ’shut up’ pain did not work today and it’s really true that if one talks soon what has comforted one ,then things don’t work.
Hope you had good night sleep.
Take care
Love & warm regards
Priyanka.
Hello Mr Bachchan,
I am a big fan of you. I watched almost all of your movies and enjoyed most of them except Mritudata, Lal Badshah etc. This is first time I am reading your blog and amazed how you maintain such energy at this age. It inspire my generation who grew up watching your movies. I would like to meet you some day. I am currently in US. Are you planning to come here in near future?
Good Morning Sir,

Hi SINDHI***** Amitabh Bachchan**** THANKS FOR CHETI CHAND GREETINGS.
Dear amitji
Good morning ☼
How are you ?
Have a great day
Love you♥
Dear Amitji,
All said & done, it’s a situation in life that probably everybody faces at some or the other time. Appreciations & decorations are, most of the times, given to the front end. No wonder, it’s a real life situation. So does it happens in our lives too. There goes a famous saying, “If you have to look at the work of a manager, look at the work of his subordinates”. Because actually they are the ones who are really working for him. No doubt, actors too work very hard, day & night, for a perfectly “Box Office” hit film, but I have never heard any spot boy or a minor but important designation being awarded an award just because he for 25 years he has served tea to every body on the sets!
Nevertheless, thats how it works for all of us. Take care of you back pain. I think a little bit of Yoga exercises should be a relief!
Regards & best wishes,
Vivek, Kalyani & Adhiraj - Muscat Vasi.
Happy birthday to Nikhil Nanda.
YES INDEED YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TODAYS DANCERS DANCE AS IF THEY ARE IT BY 440 VOLTS!!
WOW!WHAT AN ELECTRIFYING EXPERIENCE!
BUT ALL DO NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN HIT BY 440 VOLTS—SOME EVEN GO BEYOND 440 VOLTS.THEY LOOK COMICAL THE WAY THEY MOVE THEIR LIMBS AND MAKE FACES.THEIR ENTIRE FRAME SHAKES VIOLENTLY.
VERY HUMOROUS AMITABHJI!!!!!
Dear Amitji…
How r u ….May God give you more & more success in the time to come…Sir, …I would love to see u in characters like in movie Khakee,aitbaar, etc…action roles….beacuse this is the very image which people have of you …this image made you what u r today…we love you in this image…try to understand…I know as an artist u have ur own interest …but think from the audience point of view…today i still watch your action movies repeat viewing…but i cannot watch PAA or Black more then 1 time……Anyways …its ur wish what u think right U are free to do …who are we to question…..keep doing such arty type of movies…if that gives u pleasure….

YOUR EVERGREEN NUMBER ”’APNI TO JAISE WAISE KAT JAAYEGI—” FROM LAWAARIS WAS INCLUDED IN DANCE SHOW WHICH WAS ATTENDED BY YOU.
YOU WERE SIMPLY FANTASTIC IN THAT PERFORMANCE. I LIKED THAT SONG MORE DUE TO YOUR GRACEFUL RHYTHMIC MOVEMENTS AND DANCER’S HIP MOVEMENTS.
THE SONG HAD GREAT RHYTHM –AN EXCELLENT COMPOSITION BY KALYANJI-ANANDJI—AND THE PICTURISATION WAS VERY SUPERB.
THE SAME NUMBER IN THE TV SHOW ,WHICH YOU ATTENDED ,LOOKED VULGAR
AND LISTLESS. VERY POOR CHOREOGRAPHY .THEY MADE MOCKERY OF THAT IMMORTAL SONG.
good afternoon majorsaab,
all iss well??
when is johnny mastana and zaamanat releasing,
take care, regards
V K Murthy was one of the top cinematographers along with Fali Mistry, Dwarka diwecha,Radhu Karmarkar and Jal Mistry.
Guru dutt himself was a genius in field of song picturisations.
Here is an example of Murthy’s beautiful work.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ud2rsMT5ng
”chaudvin ka chand ho ya aftab ho jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam lajawab ho…”
Just click the above link and enjoy that beautiful song.
dear amitji,
greetings, thanks for ur kind words for shri. v.k.murthy, undoubtedly india’s ace cinematographer, what a great body of work he has done with guru dutt sahab, i believe that was the golden era of hindi cinema with the names of movies u have rightly mentioned in the blog, sir, my good wishes to him, i guess only one great like u could honour another great like him(shri v.k.murthy) at the iifa and now the nation bestows on him the dadasaheb phalke award though a bit late, anyways thanks for sharing with us the coming of shweta, may she live long and have a very happy and prosperous married life, sir, don’t bother about pain, ur above any judgements by others, enjoy life, always remember sir, there may be 100 people waiting to pull u down but they forget that at the same time there r 1000 people standing in ur support, thanks for ur gudi padwa and new year wishes, sir, u and us(ur fmxt) may be not very big in nos., but one thing is for sure that we love and respect u as we would love and respect the elders of our individual families, nothing less than this would suffice, so be rest assured that ur fmxt is always with u, please do take good care of ur health and convey my regards to ur wonderful family,
love
Young Jaikishen had just married Pallavi when the following song was composed by the duo Shankar-Jaikishen for film Suraj.
I attended this live show at the Brabourne stadium decades ago . Most of the top film actors and politicians were present at the show.
Jikishan’s wife Pallavi also attended the live show.
The song ”baharo phool barsao—-” was heard for the first time in the show.
The entire original orchestra was present and the composers Shankar-Jaikishen
conducted it.
just watch left-handed Jaikishan instructing tabla players to start playing tablas slowly with his left hand.
I had enjoyed the live show immensely.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIB368rc7fc&NR=1
JUST CLICK THE LINK AND LISTEN TO ONE MINUTE LIVE PERFORMANCE WHICH LEFT INDELIBLE IMPRESSION ON MINDS OF THE AUDIENCE.
Namaste sir…
HAPPY NAVRATRE…HAPPY NEW YEAR.
God bless you and your family.

Amitabh Zibbu the most ardent worshiper of THE LIVING LEGEND AMITABH BACHCHAN.
You express your feelings for Amitabhji sincerely and passionately .
You are indeed the greatest fan of the greatest star of all times–Amitabh bachchan.
God bless you and your dear and near ones.
Dear Amitji,
Thank you for the wishes. Wish you too peace, health and loads of love. Blessings to Shweta for year ahead.
You write from the Heart, one reason I love to read. Yesterday’s post was cute and today’s adorable. That was yesterday’s truth and this is today’s and we aren’t complaining. Nothing I feel comes out of the blue and so too is pain. We are not aware WE create pain. Most of the times we ignore pain the head. When it is ignored it moves to space where we would be more aware, the Body. Pain can be taken care at the level of feelings and thoughts and it wouldn’t move to the body. Pain can be taken care at the level of body, body would speak to health if we allow. Ignoring doesn’t work well in the long time. Patience is the key. To listen to the voices in the head-Patience. To listen to the signals in the Body-Patience. To allow the wisdom of healing-Immense Patience.
Take care
love and prayers
Ann
Hi bachchanji,
“One must keep doing. Does not matter whether it is big or small, just keep doing it. Someday someone shall recognize it”
Thanks for the inspiring words.
dear amitji,
greetings, just read comment #199 by shweta bachchan, must say mighty impressed by her objectivity, sir , request u to follow her advice seriously, i would also like to convey my best wishes to saratchandra, anat magen, ms.g.a.patel, shankar, amitabh zibbu, lakshmi, daisy m, valorie , manish parmar,devkishen, srinivas and all the other members of the fmxt,

Dear Amitji,
Body is not wholly controllable by mind; it has its own
needs that we ought to respect. This is the only lesson
you have to take. The haste with wich you returned to
your exercises is responsible for the strain and the
aches. But I am sure you will be all right soon.Just relax
and take care.
Your tribute to Mr. VK Murthy is most appropriate. This
great but humble man deserved the honour all through.
May I remind you that you are NOT interacting with your
family as frequently as you should? You and the members
of your extended family engage in a double monologue
without any meaningful exchange.
Also, initiate a discussion as to how to make the big adda
more attractive. Sartre said: everything is potentially
boring. We will end up with a handful of correspondents
daily offering the same accolades to you ad nauseam.
I hope I am not being curt; exuse me if I appear to be so.
best love
Sarban
Namskaar BigB,Take care of ur health.

Sir, Residents of Pune are happy to know that you have agreed to grace Marathi literary meet with your presence.
Even as we will see you there, some of us friend want to know what are you feeling about the event. Equally, are you currently reading any of famous Marathi book or about your favorite Marathi author ?
Doing Vadvanal
Laila-Majnu is a story that has been fascinating to so many, and is in fact in the bricks that were paid up for some, and allotted. It is like I hear and you do not speak the language of my objects that respond, guide and offer help. Material has been graced to be the property it should.
Political map of India is much worse today than when it was once perceived to be a race, and a mere shift of 2 years and a couple on TV propaganda changes the history. History is set in accomplishments set in milestones, and is not extrapolations based on commonly available newspaper.
Prius.
And a saal mubarak to you as well. :))
A belated many happy returns to Shweta, much joy and much laughter in the year ahead.
Trust you slept somewhat better last night?
Ah! Now the back. You must be fed up of advice. But maybe acupressure, shiatsu, would help? Santoshji, the therapist I used to visit in Matunga C in the pre-dawn hours—the Z bridge is ghostly at that time, footsteps echo—is the one who is responsible for getting me to walk mile after mile today. But he is choosy. What about someone like him?
Your “how wasteful” resonates with a mail I received from a group I am on, a behavioral scientist, Dr Eric Maisel runs these two yahoogroups called Emotional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Creativity newsletter. Today he replied to a question many have asked him, how do you handle the “in-between times”, between projects. He said he tends to feel empty, and its an angry empty, so he wanders about for some time and then gets on with the next project asap, and this getting on is very important. Of course I am paraphrasing what he said.
Those frames from Pyaasa and Kagaz ke Phool are immortal. Minus the “mass drill” as Baba calls today’s sound and light shows, with a raw beauty, evanescent.
A salute.
You know what? I spotted a 1950’s era Dodge last night, in perfectly good condition, a real beauty.
Birbal.

Dear Big B
Thanks for another wonderful post.
I don’t know about others, I prefer your not interacting frequently back with us to be totally cool and acceptable. What is a star if we can always touch it? Its enough that you write about your daily life, your thoughts, views, opinions, show us your love, your anger. That’s enough.
And when the star shines down on us (through a yellow line), even if its a rare occurrence, its a very special occasion.
Also, there is not anything required to make this blog more attractive. This blog is so attractive that the number of responses have steadily grown from day 1, and its got publicity in all media channels, not only in India but around the world.
Excuse me, I don’t know about you, but I am not used to so much publicity. So lets keep things like it is. Its hot and it rocks. Shaken not stirred. We love it this way.
Cheers
Barun
big friend kaha ho aap ?

Dear Amitbh Zibbu, on behalf of me, will you wish all the members of our family Happy Gudi Padwa and all the Happy days. Thank You Pranams.
Dear Sir:
Writing late, so with almost no hope of being read. But perhaps you do read all the way through when you cannot sleep or are feeling down. So I will write anyway.
I am sorry for your continued pain, both in spirit and in body. As I know you know (but it is hard to feel it and keep track of it in the midst of pain) it is hard to keep on doing what you know needs to be done when you cannot see or feel the fruit of your actions, when no one seems to see, when your own body and spirit are not responding, when the cosmos seems oblivious. I add my tiny voice to the chorus of those who wish to cheer you on. Hang in there! Regardless of what you tell us or not, keep doing what you can and what you must. Ultimately, it does all matter.
God bless you sir.
Rebecca
Jai Sri Ram !!!!!!!keep your job.
Dear Amitji,
Yes its so nice to here so many little bit of experience u had…..in the making of films.. Fortunatly I saw Sholay yesterday..and today u give this piece of newss….
VK Murthy work is excellent especially the names of the movie you mentioned. A mere recongnition makes a little common man happy. especially from a legend like you.. take rest sir.

Dear Amitji, Good afternoon. A nice story sent by a friend worth sharing with fmxt.
The story is told of a young man who wished to marry a farmer’s beautiful daughter. He went to the farmer to ask his permission.
The farmer looked him over and responded, “Son, go stand out in that field and I’m going to release three bulls, one at a time. If you can catch the tail of any one of the three bulls, you can marry my daughter.”
The young man stood in the pasture awaiting the first bull. The barn door opened and out ran the biggest, meanest-looking bull he had ever seen. He decided that one of the next bulls had to be a better choice than this one, so he ran over to the side and let the bull pass through the pasture out the back gate.
The barn door opened again. Unbelievable. He had never seen anything so big and fierce in his life. It stood - pawing the ground, grunting, slinging slobber - as it eyed him. Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a better choice than this one. He ran to the fence and let the bull pass through the pasture, out the back gate.
The door opened a third time. A smile came across his face. This was the weakest, scrawniest little bull he had ever seen. This one was his bull. As the bull came running by, he positioned himself just right and jumped at just the exact moment. He grabbed… but…. the bull had no tail!
Moral: Life is full of opportunities. Some will be easy to take advantage of, some will be difficult. But once we let them pass (often in hopes of something better), those opportunities may never again be available.
Dear Amit ji,
My self Ajay makwana from Surat.
I have received one interesting mail today which i should share with you..
Dr. Abdul Kalam’s Letter to Every Indian
Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements?
We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.
I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.
In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T.Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.
Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India . For her, you and I will have to build this developed India . You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation.
..
YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don’t work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.
YOU say, say and say.. What do YOU do about it?
Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - ‘YOURS’. Give him a face - ‘YOURS’. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don’t throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are.. You pay $5 (approx. Rs.. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity… In Singapore you don’t say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn’t dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai .. YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah.
YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs..650) a month to, ’see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.’YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, ‘Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so’s son. Take your two bucks and get lost.’ YOU wouldn’t chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand ..
Why don’t YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ? Why don’t YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston ??? We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India ?
In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan ..
Will the Indian citizen do that here?’ He’s right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity.
This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public.
When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? ‘It’s the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons’ rights to a dowry.’ So who’s going to change the system?
What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.
Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England . When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.
Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one’s conscience too….. I am echoing J. F. Kennedy’s words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians…..
‘ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY’
Lets do what India needs from us.
Forward this mail to each Indian for a change instead of sending Jokes or junk mails.
Thank you,
Dr.. Abdul Kalam
I humbly request you to forward this to every Indian……

JUST LUVED UR STORY……!!!
KEEP ON POSTING ….SUCH GUD ONES…….RAVI JI
BYEEEEE
Hi Satyam(#55)
I like your opinion just as your name indicates. Truth. It takes courage. I know you said ‘lets throw stone’ but will not do it . Because you , FmXt and ‘our truly’ will use these stones to build and never to destroy.
It proves people do everything to get the signboards changed for namesake only because we saw today that deep down their heartboards spoke about their firstlove. Firstlove will always remain.

hello sir,
please tell us about your upcoming films like “chanakya”, “shoebite”, “talismaan” & Johny walker i am very keen to know about all these films
Dearest Mr. Bachchan,
It’s 6:45AM here in on my side of the planet…some undeniable force draws me back here to you…day and night…I hope you are feeling better, kind Sir…
Every communication with you is delightful to me…I know you’re there, reading every comment…loving us, caring about us…it isn’t one sided at all…nor could it ever be boring…You are the very air that I breathe…God bless you.
I adore you…we adore you…know that.
I love you with all my heart and soul…
Forever yours,
Valorie Adams
Dear Sir,
Happy Gudi Padwa to all.
Happy Ugadi and a Prosperous New Year to all who will be celebrating..
Thank you Sir for your kind wishes.
May I wish Shwetambara A Very Happy Birthday. She is a beautiful lady in every sense. May God bless her with lots of happiness.
I note the pain has returned. I wonder if there is anything in particular that triggered it. Someday your pain will vanish. It will. You will feel better. I remember you did explain to us a few months back that it was related to some injury in the past. A gentle massage on a regular basis will do no harm whatsoever. I read pain in today’s post but more than that I sense frustration on your part. I plead with you that you do not harbour negative thoughts. You have the will to move on in life with strength and determination, you will find a way. Infact you are already there! You have channelled your energy into the right direction, may you continue walking the journey with all your EFs by your side. May I take you back to your recent tour in Oman, the visit to the Grand Mosque and an effort to spend some time with the physically/mentally challenged…the thoughts you had expressed then…did life seem useless? How can your life be useless? As far as your life is concerned, the impossible has been made possible. There has to be some force that shows you the vision, that guides your instincts, that prompts you to move on with determination. It all adds up to one thing (even though like everyone else, you tend to feel apprehensive at times) - success! Sometimes I feel you cannot see it because you are IN it !!
Although I don’t know much about Mr V K Murthy, I agree with you that without the technicians, the film would be a half-baked product and they are certainly not “mere technicians”…the garment that looks beautiful to the eye might just fall apart altogether were it not stitched properly!
And finally…(pun intended) thank you for promoting your extended family to ET..Extra Terrestrials! Since when? I would never have known I had descended from Mars…silly me, I had always been under the impression I was born!
Now tell me Sir this made you smile! Yes? Yes!!! One more…
Doctor! I have a serious problem. I can never remember what I just said!
When did you notice the problem?
What problem?
Love,
Daksha

Dear Sir,
Happy Gudi Padwa / Ugadi / New Year to you and to all!
And thats a verrrrrrrrrry interesting fact that Shweta was in Jayaji’s womb at the time of shooting of Sholay!!!!! Sending her my belated birthday wishes, and wishing her all the very best in life!
Didn’t know that Mr V K Murthy was such a genius to be associated with movies like ‘Kaagaz ke Phool’, ‘Pyaasa’, ‘Sahib Biwi aur Ghulam’, ‘Chaudhavin ka Chand’ etc…. Brilliant!
Indeed who can forget the mystic lighting for the song ‘waqt ne kiya …’ in ‘Kaagaz ke Phool’ or that close up of Waheeda Rehman in ‘Pyaasa’ as she looks up towards Guru Dutt on the balcony of the theatre as he sings ‘ye duniya agar mil bhi jaye…’
Am happy for him receiving this highest honour!
Am even happier that it was IIFA that recognised Mr V K Murthy first!
With love & regards,
Rajesh Kejriwal

hello i’m a south indian boy of 13 and i wish you amitab ji a very happy new year
Day 116
My Hero Mr Natwarlal,
1) No major celebrity has every done concerts in India like they do overseas. I know there is commerce involved in those shows, however, this is much more than commerce and My Hero you know it very well.
It is about time to show your true gratitude towards your true fans. And like everything else you can spearhead this one too.
2) I am glad you are reading ‘The Proudest Day’, please read the full book. Regarding the comment you made couple of days ago, “I wish at times to have been born earlier. To have been matured in the time of our struggle, to have had the honour and the pride in being a part of this fight. “, with all due respect my Hero, every generation have their opportunities to make contribution to their country.
By doing what we are doing today, we are, in theory, making history for the future generations. There were those during the freedom struggle who didn’t do anything, sighting various reasons and there were those who fought against all odds. Individuals from each generation will always have their reasons to justify their inaction.
Today, my Hero, you have an enormous opportunity in your hand to contribute towards the ‘”history” of our great nation. You have so much information in your head and more importantly, accesses to information, regarding what ‘wrongs’ are done in the upper tier of our society.
If you make up your mind and decide to turn the tide against the people who have abused their power and authority, which unfortunately have become a way of life for most of us, and which can be detrimental to you and your family, however, I am sure your soul will find the peace which you have never experienced. Remember what Mahatma Gandhi did in his days was against the law and he had to make more personal sacrifices than anyone else.
I wish and pray that god gives you the courage and strength to fight against the evil of our society. And I assure you the day you take the first step towards this, me and the millions like me will follow you until all evils from our society are destroyed. Lets make our country what it truly deserves to be, lets make a country where all are children can breath a fresh air of freedom, justice, dignity, transparency, parity, love, harmony and most importantly of being a proud Indian.
Jai Hind,
Sachin
Sir,
I saw Sahib,Biwi aur Ghulam , when I was 14-15 years old ,on a DD broadcast as feature film on one of the Sundays.There was sufficient hype among the elders of the family and needless to say that ladies finished dinner work early to enjoy movie fully.I had heard some LPs of Geeta Dutt and therefore I was aware of the soothing music it would be containing and eager to see the picturisation. But to my dismay the film went off over my head. I couldn’t understand anything that time.
It is nice to know that Mr.Murthy is selected for Dada Saheb award.I just checked the previous awardees list and found out that both Guru Dutt and Geeta Dutt have not been given this award.Perhaps the award was instituted after their demise.
Somehow, I also have feeling that getting award is also an art.One needs to be hard working+delivering+effective+humble+acceptable to all+well connected+reachable+kind+….+…..to get awards.Blessings of elders and best wishes of the contemporaries also work in background.Some people get award for all their acts and some does not even appear in nominees list despite their intellect,hard work and general acceptance of their work. This phenomena is applicable in all walks of life and not only films.
Two hours workout at 68 would make any oldie jealous of you.Body pains and sprains are part of an athlete’s life.Is there any Olympic for veterans?India needs medals badly and madly.
Regards,
Anand
Dearest AMitji….
In my own misery I forgot to wish Shwetadi a happy birthday. So ShwetaDi a very Happy Birthday to you….may Allah swt make all your dremas come true and may He always keep you under the shade of your loving parents. Ameen.

Dear Sir,
In few words such a meaningful saying.
Great.

Mario: Yes I wouldn’t actually do this. Though Raj Thackeray and his other Sena counterparts are quite capable of doing this at the drop of a hat.
Feel better! Happy birthday to Shweta! Happy Cheti Chand!
LOVE reading your blog…you’re so amazing!!

Dear Amit ji….
I liked your film RANN very much. The inside happenings of media world are superbly presented. The so called national channels (Hindi & English) always presented hindi cinema news alone as entertainment news (Print media as well doing the same). Southern film industry has never been a part of their programs or magazine articles….Why is it so? are they not entertaining enough? Do our films appear shabby? You know there are so many talented and award wining artists and technicians in south and in terms of the number of movies released every year, number of theatres, and hard core cinematic fanism, telugu and tamil films surpassed hindi cinema long ago (but not in commercial figures). Few years ago, I heard that actor mammootty asked people to recognise him as an indian actor instead of a southern actor…..So, whats wrong with southern cinema? Our vernacular channels proudly share the successes of hindi cinema, Then, why south cinema is being put in the darkness by hindi media?
Please express your opinion on this.
Dear Amitji Barun#300 & Dr Avinash#301, Thanks for your appreciation. Sometimes a story explains better about Life’s experiences. I too went for a bull without tail on many occasions. Have a nice day.

Amitji,
Just reported that the CPI-(M) has said you cannot become the brand ambassador of Kerala Tourism as you are already promoting Gujarat, which is governed by the Bharatiya Janata Party.
“The Left front government in Kerala will not have the same brand ambassador (who has already been appointed by the Narendra Modi government),” CPI-M politburo member Sitaram Yechury told reporters in New Delhi.
Sorry, but I had to report this as this is my duty as a reporter. But while I was writing this my blood was boiling and was feeling ashamed of being a Malayalee.
I apologize on behalf of all sensible Malayalees…it’s no more God’s Own Country…and they don’t deserve a good human being like u…
You are the brand ambassador of India….we love u.
may good sense prevail on those people who decided against your good gesture.
you take care of your health and continue to entertain us.
god bless
Jay Menon
Dear Amitji,
Have been a passive member of your ET for a long time and I always enjoy reading your blogs. Wished to share a diff. that you made to our lives..have a 3.5 year old daughter who recognises only one Hindi Film star and that is you. Had taken her for Bhootnath when she was two and your character of Banku has so registered in her mind that we have been using the name of the character to arm twist her into doing things:)
This really shows that your audience has no age bar and that your effect even on the smallest of minds is immense. She recognises you in all press releases (of course in fright:) As she grows older, she is less frightened but you will always remain her BANKU..
Mr Bachchan,
I think assumed saying “Happy Birthday” to Shweta, and you should note from Teen Patti etymology, guys can take up fresh thesis statements, and while at work you could finish them up. There must be tangibles, and a lot of record keeping and thesis classification appears pending for documents children have produced. I would need to do a few forklift changes on certain equipment. I am not sure of the modalities at present and how that affects the corporate but the Defence and GOI are in losses doing extra power surges. One PhD guy was asking for training in a company! That is the state of affairs. Who is doing teaching anyway? I see reports they are all into bookkeeping, and what transpires overnight is a mystery. Projects and protos in the academia are not running. Is anyone answerable for the system, while you can check in at Gate, and ask for being shown what is going on.
—Prius
A very-very-very Happy Bday wishes to dear Shweta. May Almighty Lord bless her a good health all thorough her life.
And a happy Cheti Chand and Basant Chaitra Navratra. Good luck for the new year.
Wish all FmXt a shubh Basant Navratras. May Ma Durga bless all ir-respective of their race, caste, religion and country. Ma Durga(Mother Goddess) is a symbol of Maha Shakti (Super power). If blessed by Ma, we will be performing the journey to the Holy Shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi this year.
Indian Spiritual tradition has propounded four Purusharth (objectives) of a human life. These being Dharm (Righteousness), Arth (Material Pursuits), Kaam (Contentment) and Moksh (Enlightenment). Shri Mata Vaishno Devi is believed to grant all the four boons to those who visit Her Holy Shrine. She is considered to fulfill anything and everything that a person wishes for in life, in a righteous way. It is an experience of all, that no one goes empty handed from Her Great Pilgrimage.
Sare bolo Jai Mata Di……

Young Laxmikant-Pyarelal arrived with a bang in world of hindi film music.
After ”Parasmani” they composed outstanding songs for film”Dosti”. All songs ,except one,were sung by Mohammed Rafi and all became super hit.
I think they bagged ”Fimfare” award for ”Dosti”
The film celebrated jubilee . Laxmikant-Pyarelal went on composing hit music film after film and reached the top.
Here is one minute live video of evergreen ”chahunga main tuje saanj savere—-”’ with Laxmikant and Pyarelal,in their twenties conducting the orchestra.

Good afternoon Mr. Bachchan
Is an honor to write to you, hope you read my email.
Not much to say, just that since I was 8 years have seen your movies and I followed your career until my adulthood. I have 35 years old and continue to see your old and new movies.I”m Portuguese and my dream was to one day go to India.i allways had a fascination for the culture, Religion, traditions and above all the respect that children have to parents and for the elders of the family.
If some day i could go to your ‘country would also like to know so many brilliant actors of your time, as Mr Shashi Kapoor, which I know is sick.
well, i don´t want to disturb you any more, I’m happy just to know that you will read my e-mail.
I wish you a wonderfull happy healthy life with all your family and loved ones.

Hi sweetheart
Sorry for not commenting for so many days. I know you must not have noticed me not replying but thats ok.Actually I got shifted to another process and we have back to back calls so I dont get time to reply though I manage to read your posts. So today I came in early and I am posting my comment.
Hearing that you are in pain makes me feel the pain as well. I pray god to transfer your pains on to me and this is not just for the sake of saying I really want all your pain to be transferred to me. I shall bear it with a huge smile and happiness because atleast you will not have any pain and you can be in peace. I wish it could happen.
Please take care of yourself and inturn it will take care of my heart.
Hope to meet you again. My wishes,cares, prayers and love are always with you.
Loads of love,hugs,kisses,cares and prayers for you as always and forever. May Sai baba’s blessings be always with you.

Happy Gudi Padwa, Amitabh ji!
It looks like a “tremolo”, that difference between your yesterday’s and today’s condition, in health and in soul. My heart warms towards you. I see - untamed pain can depress spirit: how come, was I wrong, can’t I master it?
As usual, I can mitigate or ignore my pain. Though once I had a toothache and resembled a whirligig for all the night dreaming of a dentist with forceps (the end of the story was almost anecdotic: a doctor found a little piece of a drill left in my tooth by a previous dentist)… I mean if your pain is unbearable let a specialist to get you rid of it. In other cases there is the only way out: to strive what you need over and over again.
Anger may be productive: “Shut up, pain!” But much more often it’s positive mood - repeated stubbornly for many times with your fortitude - which really works. I think it’s not difficult for a big actor like you, just to remember your feeling of “I’ve done it!” and to obtrude it to yourself while doing something. Killing your pain for example. Possibly you are familiar with a story of an actor who has acted his part during his heart attack: “But my character has a healthy heart!”
At any rate the Universe is a mirror (course not MM). It returns back just what we show. Sometimes it’s dangerous to show we are captured by our pain.
It concerns not only illness. Thanks to that mood, three years ago I’ve got the desired job, after a year of unemployment. Perhaps, I don’t know whether it matter – to speak of your successes aloud or to keep silent…
I believe you are very strong. And all your problems will very soon remain in past. I’ll be happy to see you healthy and quiet again. Your strength is a value both to yourself and to people around you. Good luck!
Regards. Irina, Angarsk
PS. Congratulations to your daughter and your son-in-law. Wow, a wife and a husband were born at the same day! Probably you’ll have the possibility to pass my best wishes to your friend ShK on his birthday.
Good evening my dearest Mr Bachchan,
Trusting with all my positivity that you will have slept comfortably last night and are in better health and sprits generally. I’m still slightly concerned about you pursuing a workout regime whilst experiencing these pains - its never really advisable - so hopefully the gym was not on the agenda just for today to allow some healing to occur.
Mildly in keeping with your theme of ‘taking credit for work’, I stumbled upon a write up this morning entitled ‘Who’s cajoling who?’ from ZeeNews website. Its primarily an exploration of your delicately capricious relationship with the fourth estate; although it does also delve into an proletarian psychologists analysis of your unassailable humility in debasing your own status to that of an ordinary man. “Why doesn’t Amitabh Bachchan, for once, take in stride his iconic status in Bollywood” is the question perturbing the writer and thus he attempts to make sense of it in his own peculiar way.
Of course I usually spare you the efforts of having to read frivolous media indulgences and please be aware that I’m categorically not in agreement with the some of sentiments he expresses, but it may be worth you skim reading for the writers ‘unusual’ tack. It’s just less formulaic and more exploratory than most we read and hope you enjoy the difference.
http://www.zeenews.com/zee-exclusive/2010-03-18/611739news.html
For me, your beautiful concluding sentence eulogizing the humility and greatness of inspirational artists would be most the befitting words for you.
Working at a slightly frenzied pace today, its amazing what miraculous changes a night can bring. As ever couldn’t resist sending you all my love and warmest well wishes for a lovely, peaceful evening. Rumor has it that you are presenting an award in Mumbai today and hopefully that will come together well, if the information is true.
Please take care for now my dearest Mr Bachchan, be well and be happy. (And don’t speak too soon if you are!!)
Love to you & then some,
Jasmine

Kerala rejected you as brand ambassador. I liked it.you didn’t deserve it.
Reid & Taylor (India) Ltd., the suit maker endorsed by Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan, plans to sell shares for the first time to add stores and expand overseas, its biggest shareholder said.
The apparel maker may sell stock in six to eight months, S. Kumars Nationwide Ltd., Managing Director Nitin S. Kasliwal said in a telephone interview today. S. Kumars owns 75 percent of Reid & Taylor and the remainder is held by Government of Singapore Investment Corp., he said.
“We plan to expand our capacity and retail network in a big way,” Kasliwal said. “We also plan to increase the brand presence in India and overseas.”
S. Kumars shares soared as much as 20 percent, their steepest one-day advance since Oct. 13, 2008, in Mumbai trading today. The textile maker has more than tripled in value in the past 12 months. The Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensitive Index, or Sensex, gained 0.2 percent today.
JM Financial Ltd. and UBS AG will manage the sale and the Mumbai-based company is in talks with other bankers, Kasliwal said.

my friend mishra: send me testimonial
ओ कल्पव्रक्ष की सोनजुही!
ओ अमलताश की अमलकली!
धरती के आतप से जलते..
मन पर छाई निर्मल बदली..
मैं तुमको मधुसदगन्ध युक्त संसार नहीं दे पाऊँगा|
तुम मुझको करना माफ तुम्हे मैं प्यार नहीं दे पाऊँगा||
तुम कल्पव्रक्ष का फूल और
मैं धरती का अदना गायक
तुम जीवन के उपभोग योग्य
मैं नहीं स्वयं अपने लायक
तुम नहीं अधूरी गजल सुभे
तुम शाम गान सी पावन हो
हिम शिखरों पर सहसा कौंधी
बिजुरी सी तुम मनभावन हो.
इसलिये व्यर्थ शब्दों वाला व्यापार नहीं दे पाऊँगा|
तुम मुझको करना माफ तुम्हे मैं प्यार नहीं दे पाऊँगा||
तुम जिस शय्या पर शयन करो
वह क्षीर सिन्धु सी पावन हो
जिस आँगन की हो मौलश्री
वह आँगन क्या व्रन्दावन हो
जिन अधरों का चुम्बन पाओ
वे अधर नहीं गंगातट हों
जिसकी छाया बन साथ रहो
वह व्यक्ति नहीं वंशीवट हो
पर मैं वट जैसा सघन छाँह विस्तार नहीं दे पाऊँगा|
तुम मुझको करना माफ तुम्हे मैं प्यार नहीं दे पाऊँगा||
मै तुमको चाँद सितारों का
सौंपू उपहार भला कैसे
मैं यायावर बंजारा साँधू
सुर श्रंगार भला कैसे
मैन जीवन के प्रश्नों से नाता तोड तुम्हारे साथ सुभे
बारूद बिछी धरती पर कर लूँ
दो पल प्यार भला कैसे
इसलिये विवष हर आँसू को सत्कार नहीं दे पाऊँगा|
तुम मुझको करना माफ तुम्हे मैं प्यार नहीं दे पाऊँगा !!

Barun dear@ 289
The way you speak ! is the way fundmentalists of all
shades, religious or secular, speak - with an air of
finality and self-righteouness.
I know I have repeated the suggestion, that apparently
irks you, in one or two posts before.Our natures can
differ: you may be content with frivolities, I may not.
I believe that Mr. Bachchan is well-cultivated, learned,
contemplative and profound. He has great experience of
of a particular domain,that is, films. There are many
things, many questions, about the film industry in general
and about Amitji’s own life and work that rise in my
mind. There should be some way for us to send our queries
and disarm our curiousity. How should this happen I don’t
know - whether Amitji will like it or not, whether he will
have time or not. But surely his answers can form a part
of his daily post. Greater interaction between Big B and us
is called for, as others too have argued.
What is the harm in initiating a sensible discussion on the
point I have raised? The entire theory of nonviolence (vs
fascism) flows from the belief that we do not have a
monopoly over truth, that others too may have a point.
Best to you Barun babu

Dear Amitji,
So sorry to read you are still in pain. Please, not for one moment lament on ‘the uselessness of life’. Life is too precious to think so. It was only the pain and discomfort that made you say that. You know you mean the ‘WORLD’ to millions, billions of fans all over India and around the universe, so keep strong and positive.
Hoping you are feeling much better, strong painkillers and doctor’s orders to try and take is easy is the call of the day, Sir. Please do not exert yourself too much.
Congratulations to Mr. V K Murthy, a well deserving Award for the gentleman. I’ve enjoyed all the films he made with Guru Dutt and the ones with you in them. They are among my favorites’.
My prayers and thoughts are with you always and in the sharing of all your sufferings. Wishing you to be happy and chirpy once more!
With love,
Brenda

Rajasthan Royals bundled out for 92 runs and are likely to lose their third consecutive match.
What a dismal performance. Even when some one scores century they lose.
Appears to be the weakest side in I P L Tournament.
This is a match between sickly lambs vs hungry wolves.
Lalit Modi should step in and try to get Pakistani cricketers who proved to be the real strength of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 1STand 2nd editions.
Shipa Shetty will have to take sleeping pills tonight to get some sleep.
ye thik hai ….
aab mai jaati ho …..
jaya maa ko aapke saath ki jiyada jarurat hai ..
mujhe to koi bhi mil hi jaayega !
bak bak karne ke liye …….
aap mere uper time kyo khooti karte ho ……
per blog post jaldi se kar do !
or pir kahi ghumne jaaiye aunty ke saath !
10 hi to baja hai …
Wishing you sweet and exciting dreams of AB , grown up lass.
Keep on repeating–’’sir ji aap kahan hain ” in your dreams.
Dear Amitji
What a coincidence
Yesterday I picked up a few DVDs which included “Pyasa” & “Sahib Bibi aur Gulam” and then I read your blog last night and found out that Mr VK Murthy, the ace cinematographer has been awarded the Dada Sahib Phalke Award this year. I am going to enjoy watching these movies all over again.
A well deserved award to Murthy ji and it is indeed wonderful to see a technician of his calibre getting such a recognition. You are so right in saying that movies in the past were made so delicately and every frame was so well shot. Now most of it is done with the help of computers
So I guess your next overseas trip is Hong Kong. Welcome !
Will there be a chance for your Fmxt to meet you. Do tell
I got to meet you when you were here in 2003 and again I got to meet you in Macau last year so I am hoping it will be a hatrick for me
Even if I do not get that honor my love and best wishes will always be with you.
Take good care of your health Amitji, your fans need you.
With Lots and Lots of love
Raju
Amitji,
Amidst such a busy life, you still manage to write such wonderful blogs on a regular basis. Hats off to your spirit and enthusiasm. There is a lot to learn from you,
Love,

Do you REALLY like songs I ‘copy and paste’ here.Those are my favourite songs and I like to hear again and again.
MUSIC IS SO INTOXICATING-IT TOUCHES YOUR SOUL-IT MESMERISES YOU .
WHETHER YOU ARE APPLYING A M U L BUTTER OR GENUINELY APPRECIATING MY KIND OF MUSIC, GOD WILL ALWAYS BLESS YOU.
Dear Amitabh Bachchan..
good evening
HAPPY GUDI PADWA…
I LOVE YOU - LOVE YOU - LOVE YOU - VERY MUCH
Alot of kiss

#191 - Satyam , You are absolutely right - they do not do it this with writer. But they do it with singers, composers. you will find same song has been sung by different artists. Whether it is Beatles, Elvis,Rolling stones etc.
Having said this I completely understand your agony. Guru Dutt’s work is too precious to tamper with.
Rajasthan Royals are being massacred by Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Rajasthan Royals better surrender by lying down on the pitch and throwing cricket gear towards the heavens.
Poor chaps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello!
Why don’t you try with Yoga? Heard it cures back pain also. Hats Off to Mr. VK MURTHY gem of a person who created magic. Take care
HELLO SIR,
NICE POST.AWESOME.I WONDER HOW U WRITE SO WELL
YOURS AMLAN
Good evening from sunny warm NYC where today it is 70 F.
I finished taking care of the kitties at the cat adoption center.
I am about to go into MOMA to see a Buster Keaton silent program, ‘The General’ and an excerpt from ‘Steamboat Bill Jr’. I’ve seen both many times but I can’t pass up free Buster with live piano, even though it is much too beautiful outside to be in a theater.
Afterwards I will check in and I’m hoping to read the good news that you feel much better today.
Love,
Rochelle
When you’re a beautiful person on the inside, there is nothing in the world that can change that about you. What is the cause of one’s lack of self-confidence, self-worth, and self-acceptance. . The best way to waste your life, … is by taking notes. The easiest way to avoid living is to just watch. Look for the details. Report. Don’t participate. Envy is a symptom of lack of appreciation of our own uniqueness and self worth. Each of us has something to give that no one else has. John D. Rockefeller 1839-1937, American Industrialist, Philanthropist, Founder Exxon “Believes in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”.
Quote “How wasteful is life when you have nothing to do. How insincere one feels, how helpless and inadequate. One must keep doing. Does not matter whether it is big or small, just keep doing it. Someday someone shall recognize it. Credit is not what one would want to look for” Unquote:-
I feel you should not be feel that your contributing or not being effective for it is also true that the destroyer of weeds, thistles, and thorns is a benefactor whether he soweth the grain or not. The real price of everything, what everything really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it. We have often heard of the oft quoted words of Charles Dickens who had mentioned that no one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another. We are also aware that one is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.
I believe in a lack of self-worth afflicts many of us and hinders our evolution. We do not realize the damage done so often for many of us in our childhood may be. Young people are like sponges accepting other’s assessment of them as fact. Those hidden wounds often never heal and resurrect themselves time and again over the years, leading to all sorts of problems. We have been taught that to love ourselves is a sin… to have ‘false pride’ is.. maybe… but to genuinely love and respect ourselves is the bedrock of all wonderful relationships and happiness.
We cannot truly love others unless we can love ourselves.
We know Sir that “You” are an indispensable part of the whole of Great creation, precious and unique. How can you not feel special?
Please do take care of your health it is all that keeps us happy so do not neglect my dear Sir! My best wishes to you on Ugadi &
All the very best to my all my new & old FMXT friends God bless u all! Keep Smiling Enjoy life !
Thank you!
I could have, but I have not taken names, compared a name with an irrelevant dirty filthy disease, God help those who suffer the pain. Its so inhuman, so low, and shows such an illiterate, uncivilized character. Instead of apologizing for the dung that one threw, which might well nurture the one that throws it, we have to take more of the bull.
And now when I say with authority what is true and what is evident, I am a fundamentalist.
I will not start a war of words, as the last time there was one, the blog was about to be stopped. But remember this, I can be called whatever, but I will not shut up when my friends and other members here are insulted. I don’t call this an extended family for nothing.
Big B, I am sorry for this. I will end this right now. We are your guests, we will abide by the rule of the house. And in any case, an Eagle does not catch flies.
Love to all!
Barun

CPI-M rejects Bachchan as Kerala’s brand ambassador
http://in.movies.yahoo.com/news-detail/82771/CPI-M-rejects-Bachchan-Keralas-brand-ambassador.html
Amitji,
This is really disgusting considering sad state of India’s tourism, politicians still meddle that with party rivalries and politics..
We all appreciate your initiative of becoming a brand ambassador and improving the state tourism which in turn would increase the state’s revenue..
Alas , our politicians fail to understand that!
Cheers to u,
Love,
Padma Nayak,

Congratulations to Mr. VK Murthy!
Hopefully the coming day will be much better for you…:-)

Thanks for your acknowledgment. God bless u dear Keep enjoying life to the brim
Dearest Kind Sir,
I’m off to the local Border’s Bookstore to pick up my copy of
“THE PROUDEST DAY” which has just arrived! SO EXCITED!
I will begin reading it soon…I still have about 75 pages left of
“SHANTARAM”…It hurts me when I finish reading a good book…
and I don’t want to let go of Lin-baba…in fact, I’m still reeling from
the loss of Abdullah…then sweet Prabaker…and…omigosh…
Abdel Khader Khan…my dearest, brilliant, most gentle Khaderbhai…
HATED that…ANYway…I’ll finish “SHANTARAM” tonight and then start on
“THE PROUDEST DAY”…I want to be reading the same things
YOU are reading…someday, perhaps we can talk about these
books over lunch. In the meantime, let me leave you with this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll7VHzFJ4cc
You are the very air that I breathe…
God bless you, my dear Mr. Bachchan.
I love you so.
Hi Amitji,
Its amazing…kids dance …you would love it

hello again..was late to read this post,but finally did it..
your views are so much like us..the pomp and show in today’s songs is more like noise than music.songs of olden times were meaningful and enjoyable..its good to know ppl in the industry still think about it.
Good Evening Sir,
Karthik Calling Karthik is suffering from low collections. The film will most likely see a further heavy drop of screenings in week two, and, as reported, the lifetime business of the movie will find it hard to cross the Rs 20 crore mark. And Teen Patti is a disaster.
Hope you slept well yesterday….hope you get good sleep today too and hereafter too…
anamika
Hope you are feeling better Sir..
Take Care..
Regards,
Mahu

Just arriving home to read about the premiere for your film Vihir which unveils tonight apparently. Very best wishes for that if you are attending in all your splendour. I know it will be a magical evening and the film will be loved by one and all!!
Needless to say if it was an unsettled night last night then please choose slumber over your blogging commitments, the ET’s will surely understand your plight. Love & luck again, Jasmine xx

Dear Sir, I am very eager to know about your future projects…especially with Balky-Ilayaraja-PCSriram combination. What about having Ilayaraja’s music for AB Corp productions?
Dear Binta Sarkar # 396:
Excellent comments. So true that we don’e love ourselves and look upon us as unworthy. But if you spin it around , don’t you feel that if we sometimes consider these thoughts than we strive to better ourseleves and excel in whatever we do.
But thanks again for great comments.

Dear amitji,
I must thank you for enlightening us with updates about festivals. In this modern age we are forgetting a whole lot of things.
Yes , indeed old is gold. Who can forget Gurudutt, Waheeda, Meena Kumari and all those old melodious songs.
best wishes,’

excited abt. ur new film just announced with raj kumar santoshi “THE OUTSIDER”. ALL THE BEST.
TAKE CARE AND HAVE SOME REST
Namaskaar, Amitji, and congratulations to VK MURTHY!
It is very encouraging to hear of a ‘mere technician’ being given such a prestigious award. Excellence in any field deserves to be recognized!
And you’re right…the sweet films of long ago can hardly be matched by many films being made today, even in spite of so many far-reaching advances in the world of technology! Classics remain forever etched in our hearts.
You’re a classic. You’re a legend, an icon of Indian cinema…etched forever in my heart.
Love…and then some,
