Bachchan Saheb,
Namaskar! I am very excited to learn that you can now insert your replies below my comment and I do not have to plead again and again and again to acknoledge my presence in the vast sea of your fans…..I have replied many times to your blog entry anticipating you might see it and think of it as worthy enough for a reply…..but so far never materlized…..no complains…as I know you cannot satisfy all your fans….what chances do I have for a reply was very low…..now with this new feature the chances have gone up a little bit…..on day 21, I was # 15 to post a comment…you were so close to replying….but stopped at # 2…aah…but there is a hope now and very optimisitc…..You are trying your best to interact with your fans including me and I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot for the chance to interact with you :-). The reality has dawned:-)
Good luck with you London Show and I am sure you will leave audience awestruck and spellbound with your performance just as you and your team did in USA. People in my office, 99 % Americans, can’t stop ravishing about your show…I made them see your show…..they had a great chance to see in person the STAR OF THE MELLINIUM :-).
Now you have a new title…..THE LAST LEAR!!!!
Cheers,

Amitji:
The post seems incomplete and also on day 122 we can’t read your comments in full. The last line is cutoff. Is it a programming glitch or may be you need to hit some extra enter keys to create space underneath. Please ask your techies to correct this. Also I noticed that in your day 121’s blog, views were responding to each other. I hope that will not the norm as it can make your blog just a gossip blog where viewers start attacking each other.
Good Luck with your London Tour. Too bad your tour to Vancouver got cancelled. A co-worker of mine who is Aishwarya fan wanted to see Aishwarya perform. I wanted to see your whole family perform. I have seen you and Jayaji in in Juhu many times (we lived only a few blocks away from you) but seeing you all perform together would be a rare event.
I enjoy reading your blogs.

But for now, I can say that there is at least one factor that decides the the outcome of your ACTION viz. BLOG ENTRY….and that is the SERVER

dear bachchan saab
only after reading your later posts did i realize your justifiable anger against particular media hype about two issues with pics.
you have clarified and that will serve the purpose for media to be careful not to misuse a few words out of context to suit them.
you did well to clarify.
though you need not have brought up the ‘other party’s names’ in your blog. maybe they are not at all party to it. it is these ’sources’ who create a rift where there may be none among you artistes.
but i am glad you have the fire in you to give it back to the mdia what they do to you and still continue to be our ‘angry young man’.
it is certainly good that you brought it to the notice of all across the globe. we now know how the media can twist a thing out of proportion even if a famous person were to utter a simple I… and they will fill the rest for you with anything that fancies them at that moment.
thank you for clarifying it all.
good to know the landing was good and the red carpet even better!
your blogs are a delight to read.
take care

Dear Mr. Bachchan
little more to add on the same:another interpretation:
We read in the Bhagavad Gita that five factors are involved in the accomplishment of any undertaking. First there is the body, which must be in good physical condition. Then there is the agent, which also must be in good condition. Then the sense-organs. Then the various functions of the pranas or vital breaths. Last there is the factor called the unseen factor, which can mean past karma or God’s will.

The time logs…
Your time-logs are set to different timezones, for example, the post-publish time is UK BST time
Just below, there is an indication (I don’t quite understand its functionality), but it shows London UK GMT time
And the reader’s comments, they display USA time…
It all needs to be perfect (:-)

Ugh oh. Clearly there is a problem here on this post. Hehe.
Anyways, while I was reading this entry the song Ishq Bina (from Taal) came on the radio and I couldn’t help but say that I truely love Aishwarya!
The first time I saw her movie was Aa Ab Laut Chale, one of my favorite movies, and I instantly feel in love with her.
Then, I happened to be in India when the blockbusters Hum Dil De Chuke Sanaam and Taal came out. Boy oh boy was Aishwarya amazing. She truely made a place in everyone’s heart.
I remember seeing her live the first time at the Zee Gold Bollywood Awards in 2000, where she danced to a song from Taal and HDDCS. It was like a dream come true seeing her live back then. That time I was about 10, and we were sitting so far that I had binoculars. But, the experience of seeing her live was truly phenominal.
After 8 years, and so many blockbuster movies (Devdas=being my absolute favorite), Aishwarya is irrefutably the greatest actress in Indian Cinema.
And, I sincerely cannot tell you how astonishing it was to see her perform at the Atlantic City-Unforgettable Show. This time I was really close so no need for binoculars. HaHA.
I just wanted to wish Aishwarya years and years and years of joy and happiness. May she go even further in life. Today she is not only an Indian superstar, but an International superstar. God Bless her.
You would make my day, week, even month, if somehow you were able to show this message to her; and get maybe a hi? haha.
Thank you very much,
Raj Balsara
P.S. Big B, you are rocking. At this age you are undoubtedly mind-blowing!!!!!
It was great seeing you live! You have put ‘Bollywood’ on the map and taken Indian Cinema really really far!!!
I read your blog on a daily basis, and your an amazing writer. I would love to read books written by you in the near future!
God bless and keep rocking Indian Cinema!!

Amitji,
I would like to change the subject a little. I am not celebrity but would like you to promote solar cells roofing in India. Like your tour will be funding the solar lanterns, won’t it be nice that India uses the solar power in summer to cool down their homes and in winter to heat up the homes. We complain about power outages but using solar power would take away lot of load off the power supply. People like you can surely push this issue and get the pricing on solar cells subsidised. I think we complain about what we don’t have but don’t effectively use what we have.

Sir, a suggestion.
I’ve been hooked to your blog, because it brings me in conversation with you directly. Not to mention, you write eloquently.
I saw a feature in Mr. Aamir Khan’s blog at http://www.aamirkhan.com/blog. They have a separate link below every post of his, which says, “Aamir’s responses”. What this does is that it copies the posts that he has answered along with his replies, in a separate section. This saves people like me from the cumbersome task of searching through responses. Your blog carries a thousand replies on every entry, so all the more reason why your guys should institute a more user-friendly system.
Love, as always…

Hi Mr. Bachchan,
I just wanted to say that this is so exciting! Technology is just amazing! My earliest memories of you are in watching movies like Satte pe Satta, Do aur do paanch, Namak Halaal and never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined such a thing could be possible! It’s like you’re so close I can almost touch you…maybe that could be a new invention in the future, “touch technology”, hehehe!
Anyways, hope you’re having a great time in London, I’ve only been there a couple of times and I love the history that surrounds London. Do you get a chance to go sightseeing at all? I hope you do.
Take care, and best wishes for the London concert.

Used to be the Library for me mind you it took quite some time for me to get used to the computer and the interent, and now that I have gotten fine tuned to some aspects i am liking it more so now than ever. Like you dedicated followers I enjoy reading yoy blog and I am honestly amazed at the effort and dedication you put into this. Not only that but your writing is someting to savor, it is like a tasty portion of fried ice cream from “Cold Stone” which is pretty expensive. I am an eager reader and is always interested in soul writing and off course there is much more for me to still grasp and learn from this wonderful journey we call life and i feel like a wet sponge when I am reading your daily blog.

I have been your fan, no need to say that. I attended your concert in LA and this was my first concert of movie stars and I must say i longed for more. Your presence and your dialogues and ur sogns made my visit worth. Ofcourse i loved Ash, abhishek and Madhuri too.. WIsh you good health always and lots of love.
I know Indian media is always trying to fabricate news about u and your family. recently Ash was the target.. But don’t worry they are going to learn their lesson soon from your blog and rectify their mistakes. and respect people like you.

Dear Amitji,
Your larger than life personality is a inspiration for everybody. I came back from a long trip and was not feeling too good but work was calling. I took a leaf out of your book and decided to make the body a slave to the mind rather than vice-versa. Your performances on the most recent tour of USA even after your bad health have set a high threshold for anybody who wants to skip work/office/duties due to bad health as an excuse. Like you say, show must go on. I was standing in front row during your show in San Francisco with my hand on my heart and trying to capture the memories of you performing for the rest of my life. Thanks so much for being such a wonderful inspiration. Thanks for being a ideal “idol” for people who want to achieve certain targets in life.
I have another suggestion to make. I have often read in your blogs that any help/charity given to poor and needy people need not be disclosed and I agree with you a 100%. Right hand should not know what left hand gave out. Warren Buffet, one of the richest person in the world who more recently gave away most of his wealth to various charitable institutions, auctions a personal dinner and the proceeds of the auction go to a charitable institution of his choice. Yourself being one of the brightest stars to have shone in the Indian history would be a perfect candidate to start something similar in India. I am sure that there would be a lot of intellectual and wealthy people who would participate in an auction which gives them a chance to spend a couple of hours with you and getting some of the magical touch from you.
I am not even sure if the idea appeals to you but it could go a long way in making sure some of the wealth in India goes to the most neediest strata of the society.
Hope this message reaches you………
A fan forever….

i wrote a script
in the story a ordinary girl is made very popular
by her BF, who conspires it all by asking everyone to tell her she
is very beautiful and smart and they admire her, everyone obliges and sh gets cheated into believing it , then when trut comes out she is shatered and cries and everyone tells her their words may be false but the emotion of love behind it is true they love her so she appears attractive to them, i based this on real life experience when everyone tells me i lok young i even started believing it but later it dawned on me they r wrong and just saying it for politeness or something.
opposite also happens in life people dont let u realise ur true value and pretend to take u casually when inside they admire u, a person has an image and everyone goes with it blindly bcas there is no time to dispute.
so we shld have an practicval view of ourselves by looking at ourselves objectively.

Dear Sir,
I write again to you hoping for a reply by saying hi… I am one of your biggest fans, wish I could have met you in person when you came to Houston. Do you plan to come back again someday? Do you plan to take it easy and retire anytime soon? what is it like beign so rich and famous, would you have done anything different if you had another chance?

Well - The five factors which accomplish all actions are - the scene of action i.e. the body, the doer, the instruments or the sensory organs or the faculties, the efforts i.e. the motions or the impulses, and providence i.e. the divine factors. Ch.XVIII sh.14
Yes ‘Providence’ plays an important part and something which is in no one’s control and thus the prime teaching of Shrimad bhagwad gita is do you karma and don’t be attached to the fruits!

Dear Amitji,
I have so much love in my heart for you that I can never express it completely…just that I wish for your health and hapiness above all.
Apart from the love, you nevere cease to amaze….how much talent and balance of virtues can there be in one person ?
You were once the ‘angry young man’ and no actor in India or abroad has even come close to fulfilling the role with same conviction. You then moved to comedy, romance and other genres and did it with the same perfection - you set your own standards that only you can meet. The sulking poet in Kabhi Kabhi is yet to be repeated and there can be only one Vijay Deenanath Chauhan. You came to Television and took it by storm. Now you are in this business of blog writing and it carries the same rubber stamp of perfection, of balance… and hence unbeatable success.
I wonder how do you achieve perfection in EVERYTHINH you do. You always get to the ‘nabaz’ as they say. Is it just as simple as the “sincerety of purpose” or does it have to be loads and loads of discipline in thought and action that is not possible for every human to display ALL THE TIME ?
You have inspired me on several occasions ever since I started reading your blog. It is a great honor to share the time and space with a legend that you are. And it will be a shame to not learn from you.
I WANT TO BE YOUR EKLAVYA. While your conduct and actions teach a lot, if you could also share some thoughts straight up that we can apply in our life, it will be great. Like words of wisdom or my learnings …? If I could gather even 1% of your wisdom, I am sure It will be a life better lived.
Love and deepest Regards

Dear Amit Sir,
Always wanted to tell you…You are unbeatable…especially in scenes where you portray amalgamation of emotions viz. anger, grief and helplessness. Eg. In Deewar, when you tear the papers of that new building which you buy as a present to Nirupaji, after she leaves you to live with Ravi (Mr. Kapoor)… You’re the best. How do you pull those scenes off? Do you relive your own moments or what? Just wanted to know. Please answer.
Love

Respected Amitji,
I am thrilled to know that now you can reply to our comments. This brings you closer to us which we have been waiting for long to happen. This will be probably the first time that a celebrity of your level shall come so close to his fans. It is amazing. I just cannot beleive this has happened. Amitji, I had written in my first comment to your probably day 100th blog that I had met you in Ooty during the shooting of ‘Mard’ when I was on my honeymoon trip. You were a MP that time and there was extremely tight security and we were not allowed to come near you. But to our luck, you suddenly saw us and asked the security to allow us to come to you. You then asked one of your staff members to click pictures of us with you which was a treat to us. The picture with you has always been there in my sitting room ever since then and I feel proud when people talk about that even today.
Can I please have an answer to my this comment which will make me feel delighted.
Yours,
Bharat Doshi

Please do the corrections in the lines written by your father…
Dear Sir,
First of all I wish you a very successful tour with all your team.
But the purpose here is to bring your attention towards the line written on your blog by your immortal father….which goes…
Is par priya madhu hai tum ho,
Us par na jane kya hoga?
I feel that in the end of both the lines the ‘h’ word do not represent ‘H’ of ‘Ho’ or ‘Hoga’ but ‘hri’ of word ‘hridaya’…if you can please check with website people or the creator of BigAdda.com to correct this…
I am not sure if it is written in a particular way which is not known to me then please correct me if I am wrong…as I feel I must be corrected in order to know the actual fact…I might would have gone searching the poems …but I felt no one else than you could have last word on this.
If possible please reply….

Hi Amit Ji,
This is Rakesh Mishra from Toronto just wanted to share that of my Happy moment when I got chance to put a garland on you but with partial success as your long hand din’l allow me that wish of mine successfully. Anyway it was back 1985-86 and place Allhabad and were the MP that time and I just got enrolled to ECC (Eving Christian College) near GAU GHAT you were addressing a meeting in some JAL NIGAM complex regarding “GANGA CLEANING ABHYAN” after meeting finished you came out on white AMbassdor and we all waited out side, almost whole college was out to have glimps of our hero and with AB JINDABAAD..AB JINDABAAD..but you didn’t come out from car and your car was just about to take turn toward GAU GHAT BRIDGE (OLD BRITISH BUILD BRIDGE) and they all of sudden those NARE turn to AB MURDABAAD (Sorry sir using that bad word but it was that way) but suddenly your CAR stops and you came out and then it all again AB MAGIC all around and I got chance climb on you CAR and wanted to put GARLAND but some how it did touch to your head but not completely…Anyway once again sorry if any my wording upset you…
Just one secret of mine is that what ever I’m today is just because of all the movies of yours i watched during those days and got such an inspiring lesson as below…
“Keep trying no matter how hard it seems; it will get easier.”
Being from a small willage in UP and from real Poor farmer family just because of you I’m doing really good here in CANADA.
The only wish from Sai Baba is that I should die before you (though I’m just in late 30s) but I want live watching my hero…
God bless you sir…

Hi Buddy,
Just got back here after two days. Was very busy with job. Good to learn about new updates and great to hear abt the news of you vl be responding to comments. Yupiee… May be now i’ll be able to receive a sweet comment from you.
The blog abt Jaya Gee’s related news is really sad. Again media has left many gaps. Why can they check the authenticity before publishing a particular news.
I also read that news against Aishwarya. They all are mad people, hungrly trying to increase revenues by doing all this. So cheap of them.
Dont worry abt them and just concentrate on the preparations for your performance in London. Best of luck for best.
Again missing to see all fun. Please come to Pakistan. Will wait for your reply.

Amit ji,
I have been watching your movies all these years but I am not the kind who becomes a fan; I liked some movies and I did not like some others but it is your intellect and writing that I have been a fan….well in a way. I refer to your post 121, it is disgusting to note how irresponsible our media has become. The media people seem to be enjoying absolute power without being responsible and accountable to anybody. It is not only about celebrities but common man also who is harassed by their irresponsible reporting. And talking about the headlines, if a man is killed in a village, the headline would be, “Dalit killed”, if there is a little delay in water tankers reaching a little late at a camp site, the headline would be, “Cadets go thirsty”. It is unfortunate that we still take media seriously.
best to you always

Dear Amit Uncle,
I just read your press conference for the London show. You mentioned that you get depressed thinking that you cannot move the way the younger artists can. Don’t worry about that. Your one dance move that you do gets the crowd going wild. In LA, you were singing Don, and then out of nowhere you did your patented dance step, the crowd (including me) went nuts. So you don’t have to worry because even if you just stand there and do nothing you are 100 times above everyone else. You rock!!

Sadar Charan Sparsh!
Finally you made it! You have found some ways to comment on the blogs. And of course, with the grace of God, I was amongst the fortunate few to be considered for a reply. I can never repay for the most encouraging words.
I wish I could help you in installation of hindi unicode font on your computer. The font is available from NIC in India. I think it ia available from net as well. I will provide you the link next time.
As a gift on your comments I inform you that I have posted some seven eight pictures featuring you in a slideshow with the song - Aadmi jo khata hai aadami jo sunata hai… (Majboor!)
I hope you would enjoy the shorter version of a blog from me for a change.
Thanks a lot sir and brother!

PS It would be a greatest news for my family tomorrow that you indeed liked my comments and enjoyed the poetry. Give my regards to Jaya ji, love to dear Abhishek and Aishwarya and every member of the unforgettable. I think Ajitabh’s family lives in London, give them my regards as well. I think Bhim could help you with the installation of mangal unicode font. I could have sent the CD to your mumbai address. Not an excuse to meet you (smiling!), I could get a response to my comments is good enough for me! I am happy and satisfied, though I do not find proper words to describe how it feels to have heard from you!
The slideshow is available at the following link:

I am sorry this time my post script has been bigger than the main contents. I hope this was not the first time you read my comments, be honest, brother, I had been noting how you would pick the words from my blogs, telepathy and coincidence could not be at work all the time! Amrit would be thrilled to see your comments in the morning! He would always ask me what did you say to my blogs. Thanks once again!

Dear Amitji,
My name is Stara Rahmani and im 17 years of age. I would like to do an introductory of my background, for you to get to me. I was born in Peshawar, Pakistan in 1991 on the 10th of February. Both my parents are Afghan. their from Kabul, Afghanistan. Because of the war they settled in Peshawar and thats were they had me and my brother Seliman who is in his teen years growing the pimples and maturing at the age of 14, sssshhhhh. it took him a while.lol. At the age of four i came to Fremont, CA. im about 45 mins away from San Fransisco and about a half hour away from the Oracle arena were the unforgettable tour will take place on the July 27th, 2008 at about 7:30 it usually starts at 8 because of all the late afghans, indians, and pakistani’s.lol. i love them all and their punctuality.lol. I have been living in fremont for the past 13 yrs and have never moved out of the town. I got to Mission San jose High School. the 49th school in the United states. its a public school. I will become a Senior this September. I cant wait for the joys of being in the last yr of high school. I live with both my parents Nahid and Fazil Rahmani. I have three other siblings Seliman which i have talked above, Sara who is 6 and has just finished kindergarten. And my Life, Love and happiness is Omar my baby brother at age of two he is a handful. In my culture, if you have a boy in ur family u shall never name it OMAR. Because all the omars’ are very stubborn headed and they have a tendency to not listen to anyone besides god.lol. He is truly a gem. a needle in a pile of haystacks. one of kind. a piece of my heart. he has gone through a lot of tough times through his 2 year life spam and me with him. but nothing has broken us and never will. I love playing all kind of sports, u just show me how to do a new sport and i will be the best i can be. Im a really kind hearted girl, i have never thought ill about anyone in my life and never will. Im part of an organization that at the time is getting no were and it is Called Afghan Voice For Unity And Justice. Their is about 8 of us at this time and we are working through to help the people in Afghanistan that have’nt gotten over poverty. To tell u the truth no gets over poverty it just comes and goes just like happiness comes and goes. and as well it depends on us, if we want to be rich than we will work hard, but if we don’t than we dont. What do u believe in Dear sir in destiny or in reality or in both? As of now u might know that i i love to talk and i mean about everything. and trust me when i say about everything from Movies to Whats the secret about the Bermuda triangle?? when i get interested in a subject i will never let it go until i get the full meaning out of it. In some topics such as politics i just need a dictionary next to me because of those vocab words u all use.lol. i admire ur sense of vocabulary, hopefully i can build my dictionary with those words of wisdom. This past year i had a great english teacher. she was a true transcendentalist. She knew what she was talkin about and its because of u sir and her that have made me realize that their is a world outside that has alot more to say than a 17 year old girl in high school. Life is an adventure that i want to pursue a career i want to major in. Actually the career i wanted to major in Is Medicine either and orthopedic or a Gynecologist. But, lately, no not lately. Its been a very very very very very very very very very long time that i have wanted to pursue a little somethin of me in the Bollywood industry. I love to dance and sing. im tryin to learn how to sing. to tell u the truth its really hard god i think i might need an extra pair of lungs.lol. i have told u a lot of truths right??? lol. im delighted. i think i have said enough for today and hopefully i can talk more in the following seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years. till the day i die…. im very honored to write to an ambitious young man. that has achieved so much in life and has never given up and never will. this blog has showed me the real views of an Actor, Father, Husband and now a Father-in-law congrats!!! i know im late lol. and maybe hopefully soon to be a grandfather for the second time??? who knows inshallah. im really pleased. hopefully i did not disrespect u in anyway in my writing and i would like to talk to u this way in forth coming topics and situations about ur self and me in life. And please do tell the whole other Bachan Parivaar i said Hello. and do tell Aish to feel better. Sir u are the one that will inspire me in my life. and do take life easy and chill sometime.lol. jkjkjkjkjkjk!!! may god keep us all safe and happy and away from the evil around us.Have a good day sir and i will wait for ur reply to this message and hopefully i will post it again. if u dont catch this long one through the thousands of others.Goodbye.

Hi Amitji,
I have heard that you are trying to have electricity in India’s villages. This is a cause that I have been struggling for a long time. my native place is a very small village near Jaunpur, UP. I want to get electricity there, but more so with greener means. I have researched a lot on Solar Energy, and would like to get solar powered electricity in my village. Is this something, that you would be interested in knowing more about and also provide support to?
Do contact me, if you think so.

Read this, and let it really sink in… Then, choose how you start your day tomorrow…
Jerry is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I would be twins!” He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant.
The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.
I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.
“Yeah, right, it’s not that easy,” I protested. “Yes, it is,” Jerry said. “Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live life.”
I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, “If I were any better, I’d be twins. Wanna see my scars?” I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live.”
“Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?” I asked. Jerry continued, “…the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read ‘he’s a dead man.’
I knew I needed to take action.” ” What did you do?” I asked. “Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.
THANK YOU

Dear sir, since this is the one blog open to comments that has such few replies, i am hoping my comment will get noticed finally! and now that u can reply one to one i am also hopeful of a reply!
I paste below what i had written on day 75 of ur blogs, which i DO want you to read and reply to:
Dear sir,
This is the first time I have logged in and have managed to read just the last dozen or so of your blogs…I could have sped read them, but as a word smith myself, i cannot help but appreciate the beauty of your penmanship…and had to give them the time they deserved.
“As you slide down on the wrong side of the hill, the few left with sincere affection, have a condescending look. The spark of instant excitement has mellowed down. You go unnoticed on occasion. If at all there is notice it is a notice with silence and a smile that has some difficulty coming on.â€
those are such poignant words…although I doubt you are likely to go unnoticed - ever!
i see my grandparents and realize i do the same to them many a times and am sure will repeat the same folly with my parents, and have it all come back to me someday…but i guess thats the way it is….
I think the reason I am such a movie freak is YOU…i doubt you remember, but during the shooting of Coolie in bangalore i was sitting in the train when you were shooting. My small face plastered to the window, i was happily chewing away at a wrigley chewing gum my dad had brought from London just a couple of days prior to the shoot. During a break you came to the window and said, “No gum for me little girl� and just like that i was in awe! I dug deep in my heart to be generous with the limited Wrigley’s and not too deep in the apple shaped pocket on the front of my frock ( I was but 7 at the time I think!) and gave you one.
That was probably the highlight of my year! LOL! Then dad mentioned you (the uncle you gave your gum to) were in that awful accident and i remember not remembering your name or how to pronounce it, but i remember crying.
You write beautifully, however straightforward the content. Could i suggest compiling the best of your blogs, with choicest of comments and publishing it as a book? Let me know if i can be of help on that project if you ever decide to give credence to my suggestion!
until later, and i promise you will be hearing more from me here in our common playground (OMIGOD!)
i have tried my hand at a little poetry..have a look if you can and will at http://www.ryze.com/go/sheetal
i would appreciate your honest opinion!! (kinda redundant statement since you will be honest!)
Love and regards,
Sheetal Chhabria

Dear Sir, congrats!
Finally u have succeded in your efforts to give on the spot reply.
As they say “where there is a will, there is a way”- You have demonstrated it well.
I have heard that celebrities keep a team of PR whose job is to handle good or bad news about them. they also make it sure that the image of the celebrities should not be tarnished by negative elements in media.
Kindly give this job to them and u concentrate on your concerts. There may be deliberate attempts to divert your focus by such news items. So please don’t worry.
Good luck, good night

Big B,
This post was like a suspense movie. 5 factors will be revealed after the interval while we all wait. LOL!!

Dear Mr. B.,
Are these the five factors … the place of action, the performer, the senses, the endeavor, and ultimately the Supersoul?
(I’m by nature impatient, so I googled it.)

well I have been reading through your blogs from the begining and could not make it to any of your concerts in the USA due to a couple of reasons. My daughter is just 6 onths old and i dont have the money to buy the tickets. but i have been reading about all the shows and visualizing the great shows. I adore you, your work and off late your ethics. I have begun to know the real Amitji since i started reading your blogs and you have been inspirational. Kudos!! and I like the way you respons to false allegations cause I have rad somewhere that Standing by and watching a crime(or lies) is a crime in itself.

Like Google says on Orkut - bad bad server - no donut for you !! we are waiting for our donuts, Mr. AB !! Please post a new entry. Thanks. I still can’t stop going through the pictures we took at your concert in Houston !! We loved your show. At times, I think that if actors have 10 shows in US or for that matter in any country - at each of the show they say it’s awsome and the audience they are having at that particular venue is the best they ever had ! then you hear the same comment for the next venue ! seems like actors do have to say that to all the venues in order to make audience happy -:) I don’t see anything wrong with it but I just had a thought !

namaste amitji,
have been now reading your blogs every morning. this is not my 1st time on your blog…i think this is my 5th. when i read your blog about your mother…u really put your thoughts so well into words that now i think in real life too you can write †BAGHBAN †…one of my most favorite movies & my mom’s too. whenever she is sitting idle..always says i am watching “Baghban “. am sure you can do it…keep it up. and yes..you observation is correct..90% of the comments are from those who reside in USA…like me!! and i still waiting in anticipation from a personal comment from you aboout my previous comments.
thank you all the same for giving us such a good reading experience and all the best for your next leg of the tour.
best regards

p.s. :i have copied my reply from day 117 as it would mean a lot to me to get a response from you. i now read your blog like a newspaper every morning after i come to office. hope that you will seriously think about the suggestion of writing a book. your each blog about the media, clippings was very impressive.
Here’s wishing the whole troop all the best for your shows…
