Devoted Friends,
Your responses to my visit to the temple have been overwhelming. And even though I had wanted to perhaps talk of other matters, I must dwell on this a little more because some very valuable and interesting observations have come up.
Many amongst you wonder what I ask for from the Gods when I am in their presence and the need for me to make a public spectacle of it. Others complain of keeping devotees waiting in cues whilst we get special treatment. Many amongst you and a large majority, draw inspiration. And some misguided elements mischievously and wantonly make disgusting non secular remarks.
A new born child has no idea of what religion is, among several other things they have no idea of. Their upbringing their parenting guides them into the world, into life, into belief. My Mother was a Sikh, my Father a Hindu. Neither of them ever deliberately forced me into following a particular religious thought. I grew up with my Mother reciting the verses and virtues of the Granth in one ear and the Ramayan in the other through my Father.
My apologies -
I wrote an entire piece on this further and the internet connect went off and i have lost it all.
I am so frustrated and angry.
I must now rush to several promotional activities for Sarkar Raj and shall end for now but I promise I shall complete what I can remember from memory and put it up.
Urghhrgh… so annoyed !

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
You can always use Microsoft word to write down your thoughts, instead of doing it online….That way you do not have to bother about internet connectivity…Once you are finished, you can copy the whole material onto your blog…
Remember to save your page on a frequent basis, when you are writing on Microsoft word…Otherwise, you could lose that too….

hello sir,
Its nice to see that you are keeping bit low profile, there is certainly a overdose of you and your family sometime back. You have become quite a soft target of late. One advice select a good script and please dont try to act cool, you look very very annoying. look your old movies like diwar, parwarish and many more, you were very cool in them, So just be natural and you will look cool and please stop making faces like you usally make now days, for example in climax of the most horrible film JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM. JUST WATCH YOUR OLD MOVIES AND YOU LOOK COOL. And please let us know what vidihis and poojas you did and what stones you wore to become rich again you were almost bankcrupt one time, there is nothing be ashmed about if you are doing it, thats why you go to so many temple so you dont have to see those days again, nothing wrong in it but dont try to hide it.

Its a fantastic idea, and first of its kind…atleast from what I know. Your understanding of what the people go through about your public visits, is entirely right. I hope you do understand, ppl have different opinions, some are your fans, some die hard, some who love you, some who hold you in high respect and some who dont care and there are some, like you put it misguided elements. But on the whole, most Indians love and respect and we are so proud of you. So this kind of responses are just but natural. I hope you will have the time to complete your thoughts about this personal subject religion…and we would like to know what goes on in that mind of yours, if not all :)…luv u lots.

I am sure those ‘mischievous misguided elements’ must be reading this with the same misguided ‘glee’ at this happening! Some may even start claiming responsibility for purpose of false bravado.
What struck me with that line you wrote: It is this perception that the upper strata of society made up of celebrities, big business owners, the elite, etc suffer no such ‘inconveniences’.
Your line highlighted that even technology can, at times, be the great equaliser!
Again, an insight into the Mr B - the person’s world!

I was revisiting Benaam yesterday. This is another film that for me represents everything that was marvelous about the 70s. A cinema that was rooted (another ‘Bombay’ film this..), real characters, an interesting narrative, and in this case a superb Asha/Rafi duet in Aa raat jaati hai chupke se mil jayen dono.. The film of course belongs to the thriller genre that was so popular in that decade. I keep making the claim that the 70s was the most variegated decade of cinema and the thriller genre is but one of the manifestations of the latter. And you also had another thriller in Majboor the same year.
One of the reasons the cinema of that decade fascinates me so much is because it is so much about the topography of Bombay. I still await the writer who does a book on this — Bombay as it was represented in Hindi cinema down the ages but especially in the 70s. In this regard let me mention two songs that function as love letters to the city in that period. The first one is from Manzil, this is the rim jhim gire saawan video but the female version. You and Moshumi Chatterjee walks through the streets of a rain swept Bombay. It’s a very evocative song sequence. Deeply nostalgic in some ways. The other one is from your “ardhangini’s” film, Piya Ka Ghar — the frenetically paced and shot Bambai shehr ki chal aa tujhe ser karadoon.
Since the 90s Bombay has very rarely been represented in Hindi cinema. Another casualty of ‘Bollywood’. In this regard Ram Gopal Varma’s Satya stands out as a magnificent exception. His film represents another ode to Bombay, on a very different scale. To be fair the signs have been healthier on this front over the last few years as cinema has been gradually decontaminated of its 90s admixture. I am perhaps a purist. I prefer that palatial residences in England not masquerade as Indian homes! Or that Swiss streets not be stand-ins for Bombay ones. Finally, as the ultimate admirer of that 70s cinema I will always resist the name ‘Mumbai’. The city will always be ‘bambai nagariya’ for me…

Things happen for a reason. Hopefully you don’t give us one of your lengthy defenses…after all this is a blog , not a therapy session. It is completely ignorant of you to call everyone that disagrees with you “misguided”. Maybe, you’ve lost objectivity in your personal life….40plus years in the film industry can’t help!! It is quite narcissistic of you to think that as your family gets dibs on Lord Ganesha, others get to watch this spectacle. I mean, c’mon!! Btw, your red carpet friend Amar Singh was painfully missing from the religious “farce” that the rest of you indulged in. Does he only walk red carpets with the family???

Btw, when I went on to check the coverage of this incident by the press, on the net. There was one hilarious one (that is what I found and thought about it)
“According to reports, Amitabh and his family went to pay their respects due to the impending release & success of ‘Sarkar Raj’ “….
My mind, immediately starting asking “reports - whose reports” ! How did they know what thoughts were in the minds of Amitabh B & his family !!! The pity of it all, we as readers are so gullible. And think that what ever media has reported is “the” truth ! tch tch…
Coming back to this particular blog, please do complete this thought. There are many indian couples who have spouses from different faiths (like me :-)). I am sure it will help us.

dearest amithji,
thank you so much for sharing your experience at ‘ siddhivinayak’.
you are simply the greatest.[i know ,if u r reading this ,u would think, ”no no God is the greatest”]but for us mortals you are like God.
I do not know what ” punya” i had done in my previous birth, that i get to read your thoughts.
reading your blogs is simply bliss
As i have written many times in my earlier posts[if u have read this post please acknowledge,its a request from the bottom of my heart] you are, sooo well , thru your blogs recreating ‘values’ in us like, loving ones parents, caring for the family, respecting friends etc.
How could anybody think that one goes to temple only to ask God for material gain!!! I , many times , simply thank god for giving me a beautiful,intelligent daughter or remind myself[ not that i ever forget] there is one supreme almighty who controls everything.
Here are a few interesting insights i would like to share with you
Hinduism is not a religion unlike other religions. It is a way of living giving utmost importance to Righteousness[Dharma]. Seers and Realistic souls from time to time, generation to generation, following the concept of Guru Shisya Parampara have stressed utmost importance of propagating Dharma. Sage like Mandavya cursed Dharma [Embodiment of Virtue itself] for the punishment he decreed, was far in execess of the deserts of a mistake committed by a mistake by a child in ignorance. He was born as a mortal in the world. He was Vidhura as we all know. Such is the greatness of Dharma Hinduism preaches us. However in course of time due to various reasons beyond control, Dharma
has become eroded and this has become a great retardation to progress in our country. Selfishness has also set in due to bad administration. Added to this there is no accepted spritual leader who can lead us removing superstitious beliefs and conventions which have no relevance today in our modern living. We talk of developed and developing countries and also analysing what democracy means to us. Hinduism tells us 5 important basic things for our living which are available to us , given by nature. They are Akash, Vayu, Agni, Apah and Prithvi. Our survival having good health depends on Pollution free atmoshpere, Fresh Air, Fire in the form of Dynamism, Water and land for equitable distribution. If these infrastructure are given to all human beings by the Administrators whoever govern us without biased outlook, then every individuall will utilise one’s resources and energy towards upliftment of higher plane of
thought. If not, life becomes mere existence alone. It is in this context that Hinduism commands 10 guidelines for our Happiness asserting it using the word COMMAND. They are Fortitude, Forgiveness, Noncoveting, Purity, Selfcontrol, Control over senses, Power of Mind to Discriminate between Good and Bad, Learning, Truthfulness and Absence of Anger. All these lead us to infinity. Supreme being is Ekam, Poornamadam as taught by Adi Sankara, by means of Monolism, Advaita Philosophy. . What is whole; this is whole; what has come out of the whole is also whole. When the whole is taken out, the whole still remains whole.
I can type some more, if only i knew that u would be intrested.
Always praying for your good health,
with respect,

Dear Sir,
I completely agree with people who complain that because of VIP guest other have to wait in a line for a longer time. I belive at the place of god all are equal so no prefrential treatment should be given. Doesnt it seem fair to you also that when you come to visit god there should be no unfair means. You just come or other VIP people come and enter the temple where as commom people have to wait in long lines to visit the temple. I hope you agree to this and give a thought on it. I belive the fair mean to visit god is that you should not hurt anyone around which is more importan than visiting a temple. I think all are equal woeshipers a VIP doesnot worship god more than a non VIP all are is equal devotees and children. I am sorry to write something against your ways because I love you a lot but just thought that should not make me change my principals and belives.

Well, it is rather upseting to find that even in God’s own place, ordinarey pilgrims are discriminated against because there is a VVIP coming for a darshan. At least in a temple, all mortals should be treated at par with each other. As for security, you are such a loved celebrity and I am sure no one will jostle you in a temple, at least. Try it once and I am sure you will feel much better and be more loved by your fans.

Dear Sir,
your anger is very understandable - everyone who is using computers has lost hours worth of work at some point. I’d recommend you write your posts offline in another program like ‘Word’, and then copy them into the blog, then they won’t get lost if the connection breaks down.
Anyway, I’m glad you are back, and awaiting your post on this personal matter of religion. Since my parents too came from different religions (Christian/Lutheran and Jewish) and left it to me whether I wanted to be part of any religion when grown up (which I never did - I believe in God, but not in any ‘exclusive’ way to reach him), I’m really curious to hear more about your thoughts and beliefs.

Hello Sir,
I noticed very interesting increase in the trending of your blog readers and also their increase of interest in comments.
Here are some readings
Days Number of Comments
Welome message 402
Day 1 to 10 5750
Day 11 to 20 6450
Day 21 to 30 9472
Day 31 to 38 8788
as noticed from day 1 to day 38 there is huge increase in the number of comments flowing in ..although the last figure is only for 8 days and not 10 days ..still a clear interest of readers and bloggers can be noticed.I had made many graphs but were unable to post them as the site does not allow.
Also have noticed many other things one of which is that there are certain days u post more than one comments…and there is tremendous increase trending seen in those days too….
some days in which you wrote more than once and those days are :-\
Day 34 2995
Day 32 939
Day 30 1056
Day 28 1694
Day 23 1217
Day 22 607
Day 20 1143
Day 19 615
Day 17 627
Day 16 539
Day 11 1501
Day 8 1260
and as seen according to the data…the comments of day 34 are nearing 3000 comments.
as this have been my job…your blog had really interesting data to interpret which does match your popularity and proves two things to me…
1. your blog popularity is increasing like your popularity
2. Data does gives right interpretations.
i am really interested in your blog because of the findings sir…it does proves that analysis and trending works.

Mr.Bachchan!! It is totally understandable…The Frustration of Losing all what you wrote…But it teaches a good Lesson..!! Next time, First write your thoughts ion a Word document or notepad, keep saving after every paragraph and then Copy and Paste it into your blog site!! That will save you a lot of effort!!
And you are absolutely right, no child knows anything about religion, we instill it into the white pages of his/her mind. And why do you feel the need of explaining so much? You are what you are…and if you feel the need to go and visit a temple , whats wrong with that? Even If it IS for praying for the success of Sarkar Raj, What is wrong with that…..? I mean we All do all this…When we are passionate about something or we really want something go according to our wish, we do every possible thing to Achieve that, and prying to God is firt and foremost. !! I mean People and Press!! Please Leave this nice, normal, down to earth family alone!!
Good Luck and Lots of Love and regards to All of you Mr.Bachchan!!

ohoo..sir..so sad that was.
it happnes to everyone nd its so frustrating. specially when we jolt down points which come to us instantly at that time in that particular mood. its very difficult to re think it later.
about what you said bout god..sir my thoughts are a bit different.
most of us i beleive are in the initial childhood days allined to the way of thinking. there are very few who will change the track after gaining knowledge.
thats some thing about Brain. once some preset values are sprouted into our brains..we tend to build up on it. nd the roots gets its own earth.
nd beleive me.. an believer of god or an atheist will have hunderds of reason for supporting his stance. and no one can deter him/her from what he beleives.
actually according to me..there are two type of people..Stubborn or Confused.!
well i would like to clear it 1st..i am a Believer of God:)
my parents were relegious, so am i. when ever i get into difficult situation ..my beliefe gives me the strength to recover.
for me the definition of being good or bad come from believing god.
but as i grew up..i saw the world around..nd i found that many of my friends who are Atheist are much better humanbeings than those who are very religious. so where did these atheist got their values from.
may be i think they started it by challenging the so called psudo religious people..or what ever reason.
but i was wondering how the concept of God came into existance..imagin all human beings who are supposed to be the last level of evolution …so after milion years of evolution..it needed a human to create a concept of god?
what if the concept of god was not there..and all of us were Atheist? how would the world be.
may be some wise man created some rules to live life..some felt it was good. years passed nd he became God now. who knows..just a wild geuss.:)
if all of us were atheist? there was no vedas,geeha,kuran,bible ect..then how would we be living our lifes.
how would have those apes/humans defined good and bad.
how would have it started that hurting,stealing ect ect are bad..and so nd so are good thing to do.
sometimes i get very confused.:)
have you ever been through this type of confusion in life?

Some of your posts…the moments where you described your father’s passing (climax of Black), and some other experiences as well..were especially touching.
Wishing you happiness always…

Anyway this para is something i guess i will keep on writing till i get to hear from you and as i have said earlier…..its no blackmail…..mera number jab ayage tab ayega……..i sincerely want this to reach you because its only because of you i have got these mantras and i have applied these at the stages when they were required……i had posted the 3 mantras of yours which i have interpreted as mantras as i am living life on those 3 principles. Here they are again. Thanks for this.
1. Jab tak jeevan hai, tab tak sangharsh hai.
2. Jo beet gayi so baat gayi……….jeevan me ek sitaara tha, mana woh behad pyaara tha,woh doob gaya toh doob gaya, ambar ke aanan ko dekho, kitne iske taare tute,kitne uske pyaare chute,jo chut gaye phir kaha mile,par bolo tute taaro par, kab ambar shok manata hai…….jo beet gayi so baat gayi.
and 3rd the most important is:-
3. Gar Mann ka ho toh achcha……aur agar na ho toh AUR BHI ACHCHA:)
Also i had a question about Table-Tennis. Whether you played the game in your break.”one of my old Table-Tennis friend Sameer Bhate had told us that you used to play TT when you had taken a break few years back. Is it true??”

I’ve been reading your blog since quite time, and have been getting addicted to it. However, this is the first time I am posting a comment. The way your internet connection and consequently a large part of your post got lost, and the simplicity with which you mention it, and get frustrated, annoyed and angry, that I guess has happened with every blogger at least once. Reading this from THE “Amitabh Bachchan” somehow makes me feel so close to him!

Welcome to the world of “system down” , “please wait” n all the rest of technology failure! But at all other times, isnt technology great?! What I would love to know is what goes on in your mind when people follow you around flashing bulbs and I am sure very often asking inane questions especially in intensely private situations, like your temple visits? Price of fame maybe, but dont you wish people would respect your privacy sometimes too?! I guess that applies to all celebs. Incidentally, dont your guards crib about your letting out all your movements, adding to their security nightmares?

Its good to see you blog, even better to see you write from the heart, regardless of what the media and the naysayers might say. Looking forward to Sarkar Raj.
Before ‘the fan’ in me takes over and lest this comment be misconstrued as a publicity hogging exercise, let me say something which has been on my mind ever since you started this blog.
I blog on films and other paraphernalia at passionforcinema dot com and it would be great if you could put up a guest post there for our readers and fans there. I do hope you would have a look if you dont know about our site. It, of course, goes without saying that you have your audience here, but please consider this invitation as one bourne out of love and respect for your work and your voice.
Needless to say, its an open invitation- if ever or whenever you want to say hi to the fans of cinema out there and share some wisdom.

Dear Mr.Bachchan,
I have never participated in Blog discussions before I found your blog. I have read a few blogs but when I found your blog I just wanted to be a part of it. But somewhere responding to a blog entry is akin to sending up a prayer. When one says a prayer, it is said in good faith. You pray and you hope that the Almighty has heard it and then reality strikes and you reason that there are so many pressing issues and the Lord must take care of those first. Another thought that comes to mind is that there are millions of prayers in God’s inbox so how will He/She find mine? Then there are people who present themselves very well that I feel God is forced to sit up and take notice….like the aarti’s, the upvaas, the shoeless padh-yatras. Because I do none of these but only offer a heartfelt sincere prayer, I feel that it takes a while for mine to be heard and then too partially. Then we console ourselves with wise words like “man ka ho to achcha, man ka na ho tho aur achcha”.
I don’t mean to liken you to the Almighty but it is the best analogy I could draw. I repond to your blog when I feel a connection to something. When I write to you, I know what you probably never get to read it because it gets lost in the millions of responses, some better written and more meaningful than mine. I also don’t expect that you have time from the business of life and I do understand. This is not meant to be a complaint, merely an observation. Am just likening it to saying a prayer or like sending a message in a bottle. Kaun jane kab kahan kissi ki nazar mein aaye!!! This is a message lost in cyberspace koi padhe tho achcha, na padhe tho aur achcha…..
With love…….take care…keep writing.
Yours Truly.

With lots and lots of respect Sir—I would love to read your comments about religion and cast and creed. In our great country people fight all the time on the name of religion. In this day and age, here in Canada I see lots of well educated parents discriminating between girls and boys and cast and creed.
Sir, I like to apologize to you for my yesterday’s comments, I was getting so emotional and wrote Kaash instead of Agar. This changes the whole meaning of what I wanted to say. I was thinking if I had written in brail, you would have noticed my letter.
This is the first time I have ever heard you saying that you are frustrated and angry.
Sir, watched your interview with Zoom tv on youtube yesterday and I felt that girl didn’t conduct herself with dignity and came across unprofessional as far as the language was concerned and little disrespectful.

It’s sad to know that certain people commented about your Siddhivinayak darshan in an annoying manner.
I believe your family is almost like a mini India wherein as you stated your father a Hindu was from north India and mother was a Sikh from Lahore, your wife a Bengali, your brother’s wife, a Sindhi, your son-in-law a Punjabi and your bahu is from South.
So, its really nice to have family members with diverse cultures come together as a close knit family and present a wonderful example of national integration!

Dear Sir,
In such cases of internet break, it is ideal to write first in your word processor /MS word on your computer, and then subsequently copy and paste/ upload on to the server. You can also save the same on your laptop for future ref. and more importantly, you can review before posting directly on the web server. This will help avoid blushes, like that happened when you mentioned regarding the creases on the western actress, which went out of your hands once you posted on the web. With always the best wishes for you and your family.

Was terribly disappointed to see you do some mediocore movies. But you have compensated by great performances in others. My only request as a great admirer and a loyal fan, is that you choose better scripts than ones that typecast you. However I have to express my respect for your handling of the various crisises and issues that crop up in your private life. I say give it back to the media who have sold their soul for sensationalism. I love your writing and please think of following in your father’s footsteps to become an author. You have a analytical mind and great sense of humor. Love it.

Our Dear Mr. Bachchan,
One thing that has really touched me is the fact that after all the hurdles of life, the busy schedules, and maintaining deadlines. I must say I am impressed by the fact that you make time to offer your prayers to God with such devotion by taking that barefoot walk with your family to the temple regularly. To some, these things may not mean much but in fact, these things do mean a lot to the heart. I believe every little thing that we do matters in life. Even a small leaf cannot move without some divine intervention. I encourage you to keep doing what the heart pleases, no matter what the obstacles it may bring. Majority of the decisions that I’ve made in life have been from the heart. I believe that every decision that a heart makes is the right one, no matter what the world may say so do to prove it wrong.
I wish you all the best at the IIFA event. Bring back some trophies…
By the way…I am still waiting for you to provide me with your contact info regarding a screenplay that I written for you that I’ve mentioned in my previous postings.

“internet connect(ion) went off and i have lost it all.”
Each of the bloggers on this world would have gone through this frustration and anger at all the thoughts penned being lost on account of the ‘internet dropping the connection’.
I am one of the said bloggers. However, to overcome this and to have the added convenience of writing a blog when offline, I use a very featureful blog-writers tool - a piece of software that you would need to download to your computer/laptop.
The tool is the Windows Live Writer. I would suggest that you use this or a similar tool where you can have a copy of your ‘blog’ on your computer, safe from the intermittent ravages of the internet.
I have written a short blog about it at: Windows Live Writer: Overcoming Bloggers’ Block!

This is Kailash from Dallas, USA. I follow your blogs everyday and I love them. I have told many of my friends about it and they have started following them too. Your blogs are inspiring, thoughtful and enjoyable. Me and my whole family love you!
I can see why you feel frustrated when your internet connection went down. If I may suggest a simple technique to avoid the frustration, please write your content locally in a word document and then paste it into the blog.
Waiting eagerly to see you in person when your shows come to this part of the world,
A fan

Dear Sir,
I grew up watching you and your movies and I wish my kid grows up watching you.
My daughter Ria was 2 when she used to recognise you in any advertisemnt, picture or movie and for her you are family and the other person she adores is BUNTY, thats Abhishek for her.
I’d like to share a incident with you. Last week we had been to BHOOTHNATH and We all loved and RIA enjoyed it, but after the movie she was very quiet and did not talk to anyone on our way back home. When we reached back home her first question was “WHY DID BHOOTHNATH GO AWAY?”.
WE WISH THAT RIA’s BHOOTHNATH AND HER BUNTY WILL BE WITH HER FOREVER.
Will be waiting for your article. We wish you & Abhishek all the best for SARKAR RAJ…
Well I know it can’t go wrong. It will emerge a winner.
WE WISH YOU GOOD HEALTH AND ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THIS WORLD FOREVER.
Regards,
Ritesh Singh Thakur

Your responses to my visit to the temple have been overwhelming. And even though I had wanted to perhaps talk of other matters, I must dwell on this a little more because some very valuable and interesting observations have come up.
Many amongst you wonder what I ask for from the Gods when I am in their presence and the need for me to make a public spectacle of it. Others complain of keeping devotees waiting in cues whilst we get special treatment. Many amongst you and a large majority, draw inspiration. And some misguided elements mischievously and wantonly make disgusting non secular remarks.
A new born child has no idea of what religion is, among several other things they have no idea of. Their upbringing their parenting guides them into the world, into life, into belief. My Mother was a Sikh, my Father a Hindu. Neither of them ever deliberately forced me into following a particular religious thought. I grew up with my Mother reciting the verses and virtues of the Granth in one ear and the Ramayan in the other through my Father.
My apologies -
I wrote an entire piece on this further and the internet connect went off and i have lost it all.
I am so frustrated and angry.
I must now rush to several promotional activities for Sarkar Raj and shall end for now but I promise I shall complete what I can remember from memory and put it up.
Urghhrgh… so annoyed !

DEAREST AMITJI, NAMASKAR
WAITING FOR UR ENTIRE COPY, IT WILLBE INTRESTING. DONOT WORRY ABOUT THE NONSECULAR REMARKS, THEY SHOULD ALSO SEE WHEN U VISIT A DARGHA OR ANY OTHER PLACE OF WORSHIP.
LET EVERY ONE SEE THAT UR SOME HOW GIVING THE WHOLE GENERATION THE VALUES AND SHOWING THEM THAT WHAT FAITH CAN DO TO UR LIFE.AND EVERY HUMENBEING NEEDS THE SUPPORT OF THE ALMIGHTY ABOW US.UR NOT SPREADING ANY THING WRONG WHICH WILL AFFECT THE COMMON MAN.ONTHE CONTRARY WHEN HE SEES -THE AMITABH BACHCHAN OR ABHISHEK OR ASHIWARYA SEEKS THE BLESSING OF ALMIGHTY,THE COMMON MAN WILL SEEK THE SAME FAITH INSTEAD OF BEING NEGATIVE OR DISHEARTEND OR SEEKING THE HELP OF SOME VICES WHEN FACED WITH FAILURE.
ICAN TELL U WITH MY OWN EXPRRIENCE THAT I ALWAYS GIVE UR EXAMPLE AND FOLLOW THE WAY U SHOW THE FAITH.
BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER ONE THING THAT I AM IN LOVE WITH U FROM THE AGE OF NINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP ROCING AND KEEP UR FAITH ALIVE FOR US. SUSHMA SHARMA

When I write for my blog, I type it out in MSWord or somewhere like that. That way, if something like this happens, I still have the writing.
