DAY 5425

Jalsa, Mumbai                Dec 22/23,  2022                Thu/Fri  6:01 AM

Birthday - Ef Amarjeet Kumar, Patna, Bihar .. Friday, 23 December .. best wishes and affection from the Ef family .. love ❤️❤️

बड़ी कोशिश की , की निद्रा रुपेण संस्थिता रूप दे जाए हमें ,

रात भर तड़पते रहे , की नींद आ जाए हमें  ;

न जाने क्या वजह थी की , वो हमसे दूर भागती रही 

अंत में निकली वो ही , जो वो सदा थी , निमुंही  !

सोचा बेहतर होगा , यहाँ आ जाएँ हम ,

ध्यान कई दिनों से था यहाँ कम  ।

अब भले नींद आए या ना आए , हमें 

आप सब के साथ , बस ,समय मिल जाए हमें   ।।

and so we are back home and in the confines of your own pillow and sheets .. and so much more .. home is home .. even though it be away from the luxury of starry hotels .. 

the work ended earlier .. and gave me time to be in the back logged conditioning .. to respond to the many that had been left ignored .. to rectify work that had been kept away and incomplete .. 

a rule that guides us all .. until and unless the personal accountability of your home facility is observed, it can and shall ruin its running .. what we can see the occupier cannot .. 

life has this lesson too .. what you wish to do , needs to be understood personally .. leaving it to the choice and decisions of management can never be the same ..

reminisced the grand old man Oberoi, the doyen of Hotel ownership and its management during one of my early visits to Srinagar on a shooting schedule, and my stay at the Oberoi Hotel .. early one morning looked out of my window to see Rai Bahadur Oberoi ready and dressed in his elegance inspecting the flowers in the garden by the lawns of the Hotel, along with the Manager, and giving instructions as to how the flower beds needed to be improved for better flowers to grow  .. 

personal .. inspections .. despite the fact of his prominence and standing to be looking into the smallest of factors of the business, says a lot for the nature of the grand doyen … 

so you wish to factor, that, in your mind when time is available, to observe personally what goes on in which department .. and to report its inspection ..

simply so admirable …

greatness does not come by chance , it requires chanced hard labour to be in achievement  !

and the return .. back to check personally how Jalsa and Janak and Prateeksha are doing ..

much in shortfall ..

A  no 

B yes 

C change the goggles 

D have you lost your marbles

DAY 5244

Kuer , Hyds                     June 21,  2022                     Tue 11:09 PM

💜 , June 22 .. birthday .. Ashwini - Sydney EF of Australia .. and .. Ef Dr Prashant Naik urf Zico Naik from Surat .. greetings .. AND .. It is also .. birthday .. of .. Ef Asmaa Ghansar .. niece of Ef Altaf Kondkar from Ryad .. Her birthday : 22nd June 2010 .. She has been waiting for her wishes since more than 3 years .. no more .. it’s up on the Calendar now .. and welcome to the Ef Family , Asmaa .. Wishes and love .. 🌸🌸🌸

.. and when the day is gone and done , then shall we meet again to fill the coffers of the mind Ef in anticipation of the subject of discourse being that which engulfs the entire fraternity .. or so we hope and pray ..

we hoped and we prayed , as do I for  the peace and calm of the many that suffer, and give them the belief that all shall be well .. it is a process that one prays turns the tide of the many that receive it .. but we all know that the ultimate strength and life lies with the on above the Almighty ..

no .. on this very rare occasion of a day that has a prelude titled ‘off’, we long for it to arrive and when it does the inability to use its presence in a justified example of fruitful indulgence .. nothing works at all  .. it merely sticks around buzzing in the ears that the entire 24 is yours .. do , see, speak, venture , write , observe , think , meditate , hibernate .. and surprisingly Google Doodle dears has not heard of the word hibernate , for it underlined it twice which as we all know by now it telling us ‘you have the wrong spelling’ … and despite re visiting the site of dictionary , it still underlines and just when you begin to yell at Googs .. we discover he was right and I was wrong .. the i was being put down as an e  .. 

ok .. done and dusted off my lap onto the blacks and the squares of the finite world to convey my sincerest greetings to the extended in the long hours of the DAY .. in some regions .. but mostly in the time lines of the country of birth .. how the earth of the birth be the ultimate possession of all possessions .. 

so a scroll down the lists of the tunes of the i .. iTunes , to discover that a million rough collections of the efforts at Saptaswar, do actually seek attention blessings and construct reformation .. 

reformation , listens carefully and does break loose from its anchors to let us know that due to certain unforeseen circumstances - haha, sounding like an aggressive adamant defence divorce lawyer - there is another break in the morn .. the reason .. well , not allowed to speak .. so there .. 

so ..

contemplation .. reading of pending scripts .. re listening to those forgotten tracks and eating less in absolute control  .. cookies of the chocolate kind coming from the ‘..bucks’ banned .. well .. for a few hours .. they are rather delicious aren’t they .. 🤪🤪🤪

to be not far distant from the immediate need or requirement is the order of the aged 80′s .. raise an eyelid and the time be visible .. extend a finger and the tissue box, the mobile, the whatever .. be in immediate want of readiness .. 

the ability to walk without the wobble , the ability to open the cap of a bottle and not drop it , the ability to put on your socks without dropping off the chair or stool , to lean closer to make out what the associate has just spoken, the ability to walk into a room and know the reason for being there .. 

and several more .. 

so the ‘whooole thing is that’ yelp , is giving indications that the brain matter consultation that was described somewhat briefly in the DAY before this DAY , was an abbreviated missive extraordinaire on memory losses of the moi ..

and the possibility of it moving in with several other self opinionated guys that wear the same overcoat .. !!!!

Good night dears all .. 

got to open the flight tracker ..

Amitabh Bachchan  

.. and I have no idea why I have put this up .. 

THE BRAIN .. 😳😳😳

DAY 5057

Jalsa, Mumbai                       Dec 22,  2021                  Wed 11:14 PM

Tomorrow .. Dec 23rd .. is the birthday of Ef Amarjeet Kumar from Patna , Bihar .. .. and it is also .. the birthday of Ef Kunal Jain from Kolkata .. Bigadda times Ef .. Loves and care and more ever .. 🌹.. may this birthday bring love happiness and peace .. 

A wavering mind and body .. thoughtless and varied in its each unknown mode .. which is why the joy and pleasure of work each day supplies the mind with that nonexistent vaccum that many find too elusive and vacant ..

and when the work starts the reverse sentiment begins to take over the countenance , leaving it only when the interruptions of the mind play havoc on the inside ..

there is havoc true , but never enough to be cause of concern .. 

all the hurdles of life were built for mankind , barriers , to break and discover the beauty of expressive success .. and when it was not so it was disbanded and set aside and aloof ..

why when how was the ever present conduct .. unanswered or not willed enough to answer .. SHMG

dilapidated in a sudden wave of the hand towards the ultimate  :

मैंने छत पर पहुँचकर , 

सीढ़ी को उपेक्षा से देखा ।

उसने कहा ,

“अच्छा , उतरना  !!”  

on reaching the roof I did look at the ladder with contempt ; the ladder did say to me , ‘really , try coming down ‘ !! 

this is a new world we have developed and inherited - for they that have lived through these centuries and years .. 

adjust and accept , or be in the throes of a roof without a ladder to return ..

but these be just home made curry .. inconsistent inconsiderate and intrinsically insecure ..

this has value :

शब्द आवरण हैं  । जब भी कुछ जाना जाता है, तो शब्दों के बावजूद जाना जाता है  ; शब्दों के कारण नहीं  । ये अलग बात है की शब्दों की खोल को बारीकी से समझकर भीतर के जंतु को कोई  भी पकड़ ले  ।

~ dr अंशुमान 

words are but a mere covering ; whenever something is to be known it is known in spite of the words , not because of the words ! it is another matter that unveiling the shields or covers in as delicate a manner of them, the reality or the creature inside the word, can be caught , by anyone ..

enough no more in the preach .. there is some serious work tomorrow .. like an endorsement shoot .. and they are getting to be quite a task ..

the endorser or the celebrity contracted for its campaign is to be considered responsible for the manufacture and purity and whatever of the product .. 🤯

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

good the night ..

Birthday - EF Mahendra Chaudhari MC .. Ef Ritika Jain .. Wednesday, September 15 .. warm greetings to both our Ef on this special day and the wishes to be safe and protected .. love from the Ef family ❤️❤️❤️

The night was hurried .. buried in the urgency of the work to be done in some immediacy .. that done it was imperative to attend to home chores in its management .. they are a delight are they not .. to know and discover how the home works technically .. the electricity supply the waterworks and the issues that come up .. functioning of the electronics on hand and in use .. the kitchen and much more .. 

Always a joy and a learning ..

BUT mostly this morning at work to steady and ready the ship that moves .. viz moi .. and to be in shape for the day ..

THEY are ready for me .. I should be ready for them .. 

Soon later we meet ..

My love ..

DAY 4852

Birthday - EF - Dharmesh Kumar Patel  .. Chitra Sinha .. Friday, June 11 .. greetings and wishes on this special day you both and the desire that there be happiness ever in your lives .. love and happy birthday ❤️❤️

Questions questions questions … opinions opinions opinions .. answers answers answers .. questions questioned, opinions opinionated and answers unanswered unanswerable ..

.. the state of the mind desires .. the mind has its own .. the results in a realm ..

.. the World changeth .. it changeth all .. and they that cannot .. cannot .. its not the end .. the end will come when it comes, for it has its own mind  .. reliance on it at times satisfactory and at times not .. 

.. the mind decides individually .. I may reach the terrace and look at the ladder with which I reached there , with ignored negligence .. and it may reply , “ really , try coming down from your perch buddy ..?” ..

who has the mind then ..? the ignorance of the human mind on the terrace , or the ignored intelligence of an innate ladder ..?

.. the mind desires rest at the bio clock of the body constructed by nature, or the Maker or whoever .. but when the clock goes against you it declares a mind .. that tablet that one takes to get the required rest or sleep is medically designed to work on sections of the body bio to bring alterations .. a tailor that has gone wrong with the sleeve length of your shirt or not given the desired length to the trousers as mapped .. but .. its the  mind is it not ..

.. in the calculation of the tailor and his or her measurements they have done the job that the mind constructed .. the sleeve shortened could be a boon - helps in it not dripping into your soup bowl during your meal .. the trousers are the ‘flood inspector pants’ .. wading through the monsoon flooding without its destruction .. SO ..

.. its the mind .. !!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And now that a million questions opinions and answers erupt voluntarily .. may I just express that the mind felt like expressing so .. 

.. smile and .. good night ..

DAY 4736(i)

Jalsa, Mumbai                       Feb 17,  2021                 Wed 8:48 AM

Apologies for the unprotected , unnecessary expressions of deep frustration that enveloped me last night .. but the Blog simply disappeared .. in the middle of my writing .. this was so annoying that , despite my efforts to find it in some file or format hidden in the complex Tumblr., it was just not recoverable .. 

So the entire night was filled with remorse and a distaste , which kind of kept me awake intermittently , and the moment I felt that order needed to be restored, I am here connecting again, and pushing my schedule by a few minutes to accommodate this little essential diversion ..

The accommodation is a slight adjustment in the work out routine .. that is it .. the body needs some regularity before it begins some heavy work schedules in the forthcoming .. 

Most importantly .. an adjustment to the increase in weight .. need to get that belly out of the way , make it respectable for some of the appearances to come and give it a more aesthetic feel and look .. more importantly get the clothing right .. when they start to go wrong, its time to work on the gym timings .. 

AND .. more importantly the diet .. 

All kinds of routines are being propagated by friends and well wishers on how this can be achieved , but they all seem to be a little confusing and conflicting , so one gets back to what worked all these years and stick to it rather than try out some fresh generation , seemingly drastic flair and ruin whatever remains .. 

Intermittent fasting is one .. you eat and then you do not eat for 10 to 12 hours and then eat .. and they say the results are amazing .. cut out the salt, cut out the sugar, cut out the oil .. I mean what ..??? just cut out everything .. तो बचा क्या  ??

वैसे भी  I am a meagre eater .. dal, roti, aaloo thats it .. and a little dahi cheeni at the end .. so what ?? what to leave out .. 

Anyway shall sort it out ..

What is more frightening  is the work of sorting out the paper work lying around .. the years of material , the years of collecting , the years of .. well .. just .. years of it ..

Sorry for this domesticated outpourings , but I do  believe sharing my thoughts with the Ef is  .. well .. no issue at all   …

.. the family prayers went up yesterday for the Saraswati devi ma .. the goddess of learning and knowledge and music and the arts .. it was and has always been such a blessing when the family and staff sit together in prayer .. and find themselves under the protection of the Divine .. a divinity of all .. of all faiths and beliefs .. in unison .. 

More is achieved in prayer than any other .. and prayers go out to all in need and in suffering and in the hope of well being and safety and good protection ..

Saraswati the goddess that adorns ‘white’ .. that sits on the ‘white swan’ the purity of its presence .. arts and culture have Saraswati as its signature for all that creativity demands .. her blessings bring the beauty of learning , and the arts and make it prominent .. 

ANS so the Ef wonders what next in this sphere .. 

And the next has been kept in a month or so with gap deliberately to take some rest to take some important medical decisions , nothing very serious, just general , and then get back to the next venture and the next and the next .. 

The scheduling masters at Janak, are in a tizzy at the moment trying to accommodate all that is hopefully coming our way ..

Its not just moi .. its a whole lot of the family too .. 

Aishwarya shoots film at Hyderabad with Mani Ratnam .. Abhishek is on to his next in Agra and also his next web session Breathe .. Jaya has taken on a film and yesterday was her first day .. and I am the only one at the moment unemployed  !! 🤣🤣

.. alright all this is not for public consumption .. ok .. just for us here in the Ef world .. 

Fine .. am off to the gym now .. the doc is waiting .. doc as in physio trainer doc .. to get that abs right .. to get the belly in shape .. to get fit .. to be able to climb steps without loosing breath .. to just .. well get and get going ..

ok ..

see ya ..

my love to all ..

DAY 4734

Jalsa, Mumbai                     Feb 14/15,  2021                 Sun/Mon 12:46 AM

Birthday - EF - Rajinder Sehgal ..  Ef Ishtar Saiyadi ..  Ef Rita Varma .. Monday, February 15 .. greetings and the wishes for your  birthdays and the affection of the Ef .. 

Locked in for months and under the dread of the virus creates several habitual changes .. changes the way you look out for the workings of the next day .. changes the way life moved then and now .. changes the way adjustments need to be made.. changes the way livelihood needs to be addressed .. 

And when you do step out into the World that had remained unchartered territory , there is realisation that the homo sapiens is indeed quite a marvel .. 

It adjusts, it invents , it finds a way .. it learns how to exist and co exist .. it has been doing this for centuries and shall continue for future centuries too ..

The City changes after gaps of non visits .. and the sights that one witnesses brings a certain pride and hope and astonishment .. life has kept moving on .. and there is the wonder of how despite all it has survived and survived well .. indeed very well ..

I drive South and the skyscrapers light up the vision .. the activity in each floor of the living brightens the belief that all is well with them .. there is movement and interaction and the distancing though regulatory is maintained , but the desire to mingle and be ‘out’ of the confines swells .. 

Yes .. there has been the other side as well .. the full stops to the regular avenues of work .. changed circumstances have deprived and taken away the living needs .. there is the detached employment, the revenue hitting a wall , the daily earnings suffered to a stand still .. and the desperation of how to revive it ..

It is a hard and ruthless story .. it is a sad and depressing story .. it is an emotionally draining story ..

And the only comfort that is being brought is the fact that we are not alone in this .. the entire World and its beings are with us in this condition ..

That does not become a solace .. it is heartbreaking to hear and learn and see the conditions that prevail and are prevailing .. yet staunch in the belief that humanity prevails .. one to another , the line that binds us all together is a strong thread , delicate yet verily it be of strength , to withstand the pulls and pushes that it has to endure ..

जब तक जीवन है तब तक संघर्ष है  .. so long as there is life, there shall be struggle !

… and as the night slips into the next day .. it slips into the gap of 52 years of my commencement in the film world .. a chapter that the very effective concerned and loving Ef remember and portray through their wishes and communications and artistic representations .. 

It is most alluring to see and hear and read what they gift .. had they not it would have been just another day .. one that was spent in the struggle of life ..

You leave the running mill , get off it on to another and then just keep rolling along .. what when where all wrapped in time and never intentioned to be unwrapped and reminisced of the days and years gone by .. 

It be not a specific desire .. what will it get me to recall .. my recall dependent on what the work shall or shall not be for the morrow .. decisions made are made with the next in mind , not what was the next the other day .. that has passed .. to think of it , is just a think .. rather think of what next than any other .. so move ..

So what strikes me for the day .. a light .. 

.. an ingenious system set up while we fought CoviD, by the traffic department .. the traffic light seen from a distant to make the drivers aware and the traffic what lies ahead .. 

.. mostly it becomes difficult to se the signal from a distant .. but here we are.. see how effectively the new creation helps us when we drive .. 

.. and as you stop in the distant because of traffic, the flower seller comes by the window and offers a bunch of flowers to buy .. to perhaps buy her her meal for the day .. she peers inside .. I am in the front seat, so visually more seen .. a smile of recognition lights her face .. she is not child , she is adult but young .. but the way she distances herself away from the vehicle, seeing the police escort behind mine, is a normal .. but her smile does not fade .. she asks for nothing .. just stands there with that welcoming smile .. it says more than just ‘buy my flowers’ .. I do not know what it is .. 

I put the glass down and beckon her .. hand her some money .. she extends her hand to give me the flowers .. no i shall not take it .. keep it I say .. she insists I take the flowers .. and the traffic lights turn green .. I move away .. as does the vehicle .. her smile widens to gratitude .. no words spoken .. just that expression and so much said .. and the bunch of flowers still in her hand  !!

.. the feeling of the needy is never capable of being matched by them that do not need need .. it is a far superior expression .. it comes from a region that we shall never be able to find .. the day we shall understand it , shall be the day of submission .. of giving it all away for them .. they that fate has been unkind to ..

.. and I wonder and think of it often .. 

Why ..

Why this disparity .. and who decides it ..

DAY 4705

🌹🌼🌸☘️🌷🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌸🌼🌹🌻🌻🌻🍂🍀🌷☘️🌸🌼🌸🌼🌹🌷❤️🌹

Birthday  EF - Ayush Mehta .. Siddharth EF .. Sunday, January 17 .. greetings and the flood of flowers for this special day .. love from all the Ef .. stay safe and protected .. ❤️❤️

To them the gratitude and love for the efforts they make in designing the face of the blogmaestr , a word I have been unable to find either a correct meaning or a correct spelling .. perhaps they that are proficient either in Latin or German may have some educative inputs ..🌹

But sincerely your affection is beyond description , and one has been so overwhelmed by the continuity of , not just the gibberish that comes out each evening, morning afternoon and night from this page, but the dedication with which each one of you have stayed with me all these four thousand seven hundred and five days .. 🥰🥰

It is to be understood that there must be some hasty impressions on other mediums that have a personal view-age for me on the ‘forgotton to press the post button’ or too ‘tired’ to get into that slumber mode .. or as the ‘breakings’ would have their warped way , to have ‘retired’ from all this caboodle ..!!🤪🤪 

But no, none of the prior is in its truest .. there was an explosion within the system .. one that sets you down in some reflective stage or shall we say onto a stage that has relentless capacity to just slump upon whatever is being said done or seen and be in unconcerned motives and intent to ‘do what the hell one wants to do , say what ever the hell one wants to say’ and … YA ..  !!

You know what I mean .. 

Its those moments ..

BUT .. the morning is good and bright .. the warmth of the Mumbai sun, in its winter, is reflective of the temper of the Ef - ever accommodating, understanding & forgiving , towards this ‘ol man , who I have to admit has spent a rather disturbed night , getting up several times out of the bed, to get to the desk to write to give reason for this delay and seek forgiveness .. !! 🙏

The process of preparation for the next begins and in a few days there shall be back to the Studio details and visuals as the next operation work gets initiated .. a short appearance for friend and neighbour, Ajay and his film ; so far , carrying the title ‘May Day’ .. as the alarm code for a flight in distress, or in crash mode.

Then soon after a host of other shoots on line .. the details of which can only be discussed once they get on the floor of the house , which sounds so Parliamentary .. doesn’t it ?!

.. and work continues .. along with the anxiety of the pandemic, the course of action, the inoculation the effects and so on ..

.. but one has to give it all to humanity .. they always find a way out !

Yes the pandemic has been devastating , not just for those that fell ill , but for those unfortunate souls that found themselves without job, without work and without a living .. 

Somehow some of them fought it .. fought the virus, fought the circumstances, developed and designed other modes of existence and just continued to keep their heads and noses above the water levels .. 

They were and are true champions .. apart from those that came forward as true warriors , up front fighting for us not just at the borders protecting our sacred land , but those that risked life and living to save the lives and living of others .. other fellow humans .. 

Such pride .. 🙏🙏🌹

They found a way .. they decided not to give up in trying circumstances .. they just kept moving .. and moving on well .. finding other means of earning a living .. other means of keeping themselves and their families in wellness and safety ..

Staying confined to their homes or in the living has not been seen by many as a discomfort .. yes it is unnatural , but other modes have given hope to them and they have adjusted so beautifully .. despite all the encumbrances and the continuous informations of uncertainty and ill advised perceptions ..

We are human .. we live and breathe human .. and we honour and give pride to HUMANITY ..

DAY 4699

Jalsa, Mumbai                    Jan 10/11,  2021                 Sun/Mon 12:03 AM

BLOG का प्रारम्भ किसी Ef की वर्ष गाँठ से होता है  ; आज किसी Ef का जन्म नहीं लिखा है , लिखा है,  तो हिंदी दिवस का जन्म दिवस , और इस पुण्य अवसर पे मैं अपनी और समस्त साथियों की ओर से , आज के दिन की शुभ शुभ कामनाएँ दे रहा हूँ ।

Pramod Kumar Pandey“निज भाषा उन्नति अहै, सब उन्नति को मूल,बिनु निज भाषा ज्ञान के, मिटै न हिय को शूल”“अपने देश की सब प्रकार से उन्नति करो। ..अपनी भाषा में उन्नति करो।”-भारतेंदु हरिश्चंद्र

’निज भाषा उन्नति अहै, सब उन्नति को मूल, बिन निज भाषा ज्ञान के, मिटन न हिय के सूल'। मतलब मातृभाषा की उन्नति बिना किसी भी समाज की तरक्की संभव नहीं है तथा अपनी भाषा के ज्ञान के बिना मन की पीड़ा को दूर करना भी मुश्किल है।

“ without the progress or advancement of your mother tongue, the achievements of any society is not possible ; and without the knowledge of your own language, to remove that pain in the mind , is also very difficult ..”

ये FB पर Pandey जी ने लिखा था । मुझे अच्छा लगा , सो यहाँ डाल दिया  कॉपी पेस्ट कर के ! 

लेकिन बहुत से ऐसे भी मिले FB पर जिन्होंने जो लिखा , उसपर एक उत्तर देना मैंने अनिवार्य समझ ।

ये थे Ketan Patel :

बीस बादाम में जब एक खट्टा बादाम निकलता है , तो उसका स्वाद कुछ ओर ही होता है  ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

जितनी बार तुम हमें ठोकोगे , उतनी बार हम फिर ठोकने के लिए खड़े हो जाएँगे  !

So on the occasion of Hindi Day .. I thought it appropriate to write in Hindi , yet be able to translate the gist of the writing to those Hindi challenged Ef ..

The earlier portion was part of a poem written by the great poet Bhartendu Harishchandra born 1800′s in Kashi, now Benaras/ Varanasi .. that has been given apt translate ..

The later portion of the Blog is the comment made in FB by one Ketan Patel who firstly addresses me sarcastically as Inquilab Srivastava .. a well missile harping on my supposed earlier name Inquilab ( revolution ) and Shrivastava my family caste surname .. in India as many know the surname depicts the caste of the person, in this caste system society ..

He said, in English alphabets, that I was not a true Hindi person and that I was a person against Hinduism and Hindus, (which is my religion) , as many know . And he threatened me that I should stop playing around with the sentiments of Hindus , else my fate would be that of Raavan and Kans .. ( Raavan was the evil in the Ramayan, destroyed by Lord Ram ; and Kans the evil, was destroyed by Lord Krishna )

i responded by saying’ if you are so prone Hindi, maybe you should have used Hindi alphabets instead of the English’ ;; and that, ‘for truth not to be known is possible at times , but the propagation of a lie, pollutes your character ‘

On the occasion of Hindi Day i wished him and his family from me and my family , and said ‘Inquilab Zindabad’ .. Long live the Revolution .. a slogan that was coined at the time when we , Indians were fighting the British for our Independence .. I also pointed out to him ‘that his sarcastic reference to my Caste based Surname was inappropriate, when all know that me and my family have never believed in the caste system and that my Father , being a Shrivastava, removed his surname and changed it to his nome de plume, Bachchan, which does not depict any caste or gives any indication towards it ..and that is something you Mr Patel have not observed because you use your surname to depict your caste .. !!!’

‘Now you tell me Mr Ketan Patel, who is Raavan and who Kans !!’ 🤣🤣🤣

… and ending the Blog with a previous line .. 

that .. “the number of times you shall thrash and beat me to the ground , I shall get up and thrash and beat you the same number of times .. “ 

In the 20 almonds that one eats , when that one sour almond comes up .. it tastes good too .. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That was in a response to the odd negative abuse or troll as they call it today, that comes up in the social media ..

Good night dearest Ef .. and my love to all ..

DAY 4698

Jalsa, Mumbai                   Jan 9/10,  2021                 Sat/Sun 12:05 am

Birthday - EF - Sapnaa Sandilyaa .. Sunday, January 10 .. happy birthday and wishes for a lovely day from the Ef .. जन्म दिन की अनेक बधाई ❤️

The idleness of time and disposition haunts us into the discovery of aspects unknown .. or known but never aggravated to its presence ..

The mind and body pulsates with the passion of our wants .. the deeds to be done the acts relived, the aspects of living and the adherence to the ethereal and divine combined .. this is the ideal ..

But do we ever achieve it ..?

I fear not .. 

The ideal world shall exist yes , but not till we inhabit it here .. it has been deigned to be alive when there is no life here .. such is the ultimate philosophy .. one that defines us all in one vessel .. one branch .. one enclosed disposition ..

At times the temptation to expose all that lies within, is in its zenith .. and when the understanding of one to the other is accepted .. it be the extreme joy and pleasure of the living ultimate .. 

At times it happens .. at times the hesitation of its ulterior motive raises its ugly head above the waters and drowns us in its depth of misunderstanding .. 

May we all be protected in its glory .. may we find shelter in its benevolence .. and may we ever be the binding force of its unbreakable bond ..

.. clasping hands together , with each other, for each other .. ever in unison and in the peace and tranquility of the passing .. 

A chapter shall be ending soon and another shall be initiated .. that is the wheel of fortune of life itself .. it must move, so we move from one to the other .. relentless , without any remorse .. its inert strength bringing the required energy to the fore .. in abundance .. in its natures highest delivery point .. ☘️🌸🌼

The flowers can misguide .. its colours may change .. the leaves may fall off .. but if the roots are secure it shall grow again .. shall  build again that exquisite beauty of its countenance and form ..

.. the quality of the creative balance among our Ef’s is amazing .. they bring forth the art work of its perfection in such easy defined forms that the attraction is imminent ..

.. the attraction like the attraction of one body with another, in its vague countenance ..

I think I sound too vague for many .. and they may be rightly in the wonder of expression that looks inward to see if there is any other that can be of any justification or not .. no there is none ..

Actually there are some ..

And they that are , know the script and the rendering .

.. the awesome building of style has been most rewarding for me .. and the desire to learn and educate myself on this is so filled with strength .. it must be done … this and many other craft .. I should be taught this .. and no better teachers in this than the Ef .. 

will you .. ??

DAY 4691

Jalsa, Mumbai                    Jan 2,  2021                   Sat 11:42 PM

Birthday - EF - Nandkeshor Dattatreya Paatil ..  Omnia Ef Egypt Wednesday, February 3 .. love and wishes on this special day .. from the entire Ef 

Rest and you realise the intense needs of the body .. it refuses to be in any state of compliance with time .. and just lingers on .. unconditionally and without any regret .. 

And the compliance with it is deemed necessary and essential .. so one submits .. languishing in the depth of slumber yet awake .. awake to the connect of the wishes of the hundreds that show affection and grace to personally greet the new year and bring in design creatives that each excel one another, in temperament and style and language .. all leading to the same objective ..

Happy 2021 .. ! 

A dichotomy .. 

One still has no definition of the ‘happy’ .. the ‘21 is fine .. numbers change every year at this time .. its just what precedes the numbers that is in limbo .. one never knows how happy it shall be .. there is hope and prayer for it to be of value and different and enjoyable .. but then how many remember wishing any better for the ‘20 , 365 days back .. 

.. and look what happened .. !!

so we wait .. till the download is done and then decipher, the good the happy from the indifferent ..

.. and we wait for the news of others to arrive .. of the campaign messages to be done .. of gratitude for the yearly good wishes .. for the special for some near and dear .. all in one stretch of concentrated work ethic ..

.. a few corrections here and there .. the flow to be improved and the rendition be in consonance with the temper of the delivery .. that matters a great deal .. if the delivery is wrong or miscalculated or not in the dictate of the ‘CC’ .. err .. cannot possibly mention its expansion here on this public platform .. no no no .. its not what you are thinking it to be .. its a little self generated adage at the times of the work .. the work which gets conducted by this team that sits on judgement whether the conveyance of the message has been delivered in the manner advocated .. its an important and a certified job .. and there is a great amount of post shot discussions .. 

“.. that lamp shade at the back .. its needs to be turned a little to the left .. no the leaf on the planter behind the glass window .. no no not that .. the one behind .. the one some 40′ away .. yaaa .. that one .. and while you are at it , just shift that spoon lying on the table to the right a bit .. yes .. thank you ..” 

I mean .. what ..??!!

Your ambassador the one who is conveying the script , so assiduously written and contemplated through years of professional practice , is a mere 2′ away from the lens of the camera .. beyond 6′ its all out of focus .. so .. what ? .. is the leaf really the bone of contention in the shot .. 🤣 

But no .. the CC has to have a say in the matter .. else be ready to bring your sleeping bags along .. it is going to be a long night .. !!

That done the mind and body travels to the ‘giveaways’ .. slowly but surely they are being doled out to the near and dear .. and in time , to the Ef as well .. they have been most deserving and must have privilege of pride and presence when the past is encountered ..

So be in the patient drone then and wait it out .. it shall occur , but in time ..

The yawns continue and this in the middle of the day .. so time for the ‘elixir of life’ .. and a devoured quick 3′s shakes up the vibrations all around .. some are dealt with virtually .. the sounds being and playing the most important tunes , of the yesteryears .. 

.. and then the talent of talents on the Indian Idols and the extreme joy of the listening pleasure to some of the youngest vocalists in the Country .. simply incredible talent .. ! 

What a thrill and a joy to see and hear them all ..

AND now the wait for all the pen drives to arrive so they can be despatched to their final destinations .. around the world .. 

BAD rubbish needs to be thrown out .. needs riddance .. the space clears up .. the congestion eases both in the mind and the locale .. its been kept alive with some disdain and hopeful need .. but the need is irrelevant .. and hope is lost .. 

SO out it should go .. 

some of it has an emotional connect .. time and place and circumstances .. but eventually it is a burden .. used unused , but a burden .. so off with the head .. as most of the lingo of the times and years of the centuries gone by .. of the Royalty and power .. of the politics of survival .. and on, would express .. 

.. and there are the strollers walking about to catch the left overs .. haha .. they shall get of course , but with dignity and respect and order .. and the condition of its use and proper destination .. 

.. Indeed .. indeedi .. a vocabulary from the days of Calcutta in the 60′s at work there ..

But the work of the present day has arrived and this is what it says ..

.. masked you may be .. but the eyes smile at you .. all of you .. in deliberate fashion .. 

.. and the thumbs up for the success of the advertise of the essentials of the mask ..

but .. that is not all ..

.. and that done snd written .. ‘tis time to say the traditional ..

Namaskaar .. 🙏🙏

Birthday - Ef Amarjeet Kumar ,  .. Wednesday, December 23 .. love and wishes from the Ef be safe and protected and have a wonderful birthday ..

I am in retirement .. and in those throes one desires to end the conversation as rapidly as one could .. and cuddle up in the pillows .. 

some images here for the interested .. but more in the morning perhaps ..

Love ..

… the Genesis plays on a scant recording between meets and the Blog suddenly becomes alive and there is desire to talk to all of you at once .. now ..

.. tried connecting on the comments of the Blog, but Mr DISCUS does not allow me to write .. strange .. keeps asking for password and email ID and when it is punched in it says incorrect .. the incorrectness lies in the system itself .. too many security plans to identify in the garb of security .. but indeed it is the collection of data - the new KING of the communication universe .. 

.. ain’t it ..??

.. I wish to remain her and keep communicating writing connecting with the dear and dearest Ef .. the self played genesis on play mode and the strain beckons into me like the deepest meditation that is needed .. 

sublime ..

like ..

… tried desperately to put some audio here but do not know how .. so abandoned it .. 

good night

DAY 4679

Jalsa, Mumbai                       Dec 21/22,  2020                Mon/Tue 12:29 AM

… a quiet day in remembrance .. and visits to the several moments spent with Ma .. those early years of Allahabad .. those of the boarding school in Nainital .. in Delhi and in Mumbai .. and each one so vivid and endearing as though it had just happened ..

Mother’s do have the ability to be with us ever .. we may never see them in the flesh and blood but they remain with us throughout our living .. giving their mature advice, their care and concern and of course their boundless love ..

.. and in the midst of all this my immense gratitude to the Ef , for expressing their grief and shock at the passing of Prabir Ef .. and also their love for Maaji , in their creative best ..

.. my gratitude as ever .. you fill me with the wonderful thoughts of the Mother that brought me into this world and blessed with at each step of my life and …

… and still do .. 

.. but though the mind and body was sombre, the act of the profession was .. well .. professional .. 

.. never a glimmer of grief or the circumstances one must obviously be finding themselves in .. NO .. the show must go on .. and so it did .. I hope .. 

.. and the joy ever coming in yet another Crorepati or to be more precise .. a ..

.. Crorepatni  .. the 4th of the season and the 4th woman .. the ultimate example of ‘naari shakti’ .. नारी शक्ति .. the power of the indefatigable lady or shall we say ladies ..

.. well done ladies .. so unassuming in your nature and carriage .. such unknown hidden strength and the knowledge of 10 encyclopaedia’s ..

.. simply .. incredible ..

  .. the lawn of the 17, Clive Road, Allahabad and the well manicured grass - a speciality with Ma , and her extreme love for flowers .. in particular ROSES  !!

with my younger brother Ajitabh .. and me .. shorts and all .. which seem to be tied at the chest than the waist .. BUT .. ok , for, the length of my legs were a cause and concern early on in life .. and still is ..

.. the announce of the victory in the ‘84 elections ..  

.. and suited booted for a luncheon reception for the visiting Chinese delegation in Allahabad at the residence of dear family friends, legal luminary, Mr Shekhar Saran .. his wife Sadiqa aunty .. they were all called aunty in those days .. a great stage and theatre performer .. all on an amateur level .. had performed a play in Allahabad , with Ma at the Palace Cinema Hall stage, in Civil Lines .. I think the play was called Anarkali .. this Cinema stage was also the venue of so many other stage acts .. like PrithviRaj ji’s Prithvi Theatres plays .. the world renowned magician .. PC Sorkar .. and several other events , which remain so vividly in our memory ..

Palace Cinema where I saw my first ever film - a Laurel & Hardy comedy called ‘The Flying Deuces’ .. and then of course many cartoon films on Snow white and the 7 dwarfs and on .. and opposite the Cinema across the street the famous Pen store Nagar & C o or Sons , where I got my first ink pen ..

.. what excitement .. an equivalent of getting your own computer or lap top in todays times … at the early age of 10 .. early ..? .. today’s 10 year old wants to be an astro physicist and readily explains as contestant Amol did on the students KBC, what it meant to be one .. simply astonishing .. 

.. right then .. time to be in bed .. tomorrow .. or rather this morning an early call again ..

.. my best to all .. and prayers for dearest Prabir .. who left us at such an early age .. 🙏

Amitabh Bachchan 

.. the wedding day and blessings ..

.. and that rare moment when you got your first bush shirt .. !!!

Sad news .. our dear Prabir Bhatt Ef passed away yesterday .. his sister Shrijal gave me the information .. the funeral is tomorrow at 12 noon ..

Our prayers with the family and deepest condolences .. 🙏

Birthday - EF Rupam Sarma .. Monday, December 21 .. love and greetings on your birthday .. 🙏

the misery of departure is such an incessant grief .. it leaves one silenced and filled with a void that one feels shall never ever be filled .. the pain of the ones that are left behind to grieve is uncontrollable .. and most difficult to perceive ..

.. and tomorrow is the remembrance of the departure of Ma .. Maa ji .. she left us .. the most beautiful Mother in the world .. they all are , the most beautiful .. that is why they are Ma ..

.. I shall work early and in the schedule that has been planned .. she would have wanted that to happen .. go and work .. do not think of me in grief .. be in the happiness of the entire universe .. we shall perish but our blessings shall ever be by your side ; she would have said .. and what we all believe ..

.. those moments of her passing shall ever remain in an imagery that shall never be erased .. 

.. she that brought laughter and joy and the essence of life in all of us in every situation .. never say die for her was a command .. in the most desperate situations she sat beside you, caressed your forehead .. and suddenly the softness of her palms took away all anxiety .. anxiousness .. and fear ..

.. she resides in us all .. 

.. her memory her presence her blessing .. with us tonight for the tomorrow and the many tomorrows that shall follow ..

DAY 4677

Jalsa, Mumbai                   Dec 19/20,  2020               Sat/Sun 12:17 AM   

Birthday - EF Binita Sarkar .. Sunday, December 20 .. and we wish you a very happy wala birthday aur greetings ki bharmaar .. 🤣🤣🙏

                                   There is no misery 

                     where there is no want .

                                  Desire, want, is the father of all misery.

                    Desires are bound

                                 by laws of success

                    and failure 

~ स्वामी विवेकानंद                  swami vivekananda

अंत में सब का है ये सार  - 

जीवन दुःख - ही - दुःख का है विस्तार ,

दुःख का इच्छा है आधार ,

अगर इच्छा को लो जीत ,

पा सकते हो दुखों से निस्तार ,

पा सकते हो निर्वाण पुनीत                    

~ हरिवंश राय बच्चन                        harivansh rai bachchan 

… in the end , for us all , the essence of life is the spread of grief and pain ; the basis of pain and grief be desire ; if you can be victorious over desire, then you could achieve salvation from grief and pain , you can achieve the purity of nirvana   ….

Babuji’s words are from his poem ‘Buddha aur Naachghar’.. the words of Swami Vivekanand the saint philosopher , are from a collection of his thoughts ‘life lessons‘ in his ‘Believe in Yourself ‘ ..

Buddha aur Naachghar .. Buddha and the Dancing Hall .. is the poem he wrote while he was doing his PhD in Cambridge, England on WB Yeats and Occultism .. a course normally taking 4 years in its completion but completed with honours and the PhD in just 2 years .. 1952 to 1954 ..

He studied relentlessly .. hours and hours of work and no respite .. when he got tired he would stand and work .. made a table from his own hand craft and some of the very meagre resources he had, where he could stand and write .. an image that remained with me , when I constructed a similar table here in Jalsa in my room to keep working if I got tired of sitting down ..

.. the few friends from India that were studying with him in Cambridge, one day decided to end his work monopoly and took him out for some leisure and relax to a ‘dancing Hall’ .. the equivalent of a Discotheque or a Club in todays time .. there Babuji saw at the far end of this dance hall, a large statue of Gautam Buddha, adorning the decoration of the venue , where couples were ball room dancing , to a band music and enjoying their evening drinks and eats ..

.. he came back somewhat disturbed and wrote one of his classics in the most delicious satire that has even to this day, brought the admiration and applause of the readers and listeners of his recitation .. 

.. some may be aware of it .. some may have read it .. some may have had opportunity to hear me recite this poem - perhaps some of the Ef that travelled all the way to Paris to the Théâtre des Champs Elysées , for this stage recitation some years back .. a delight and a privilege for me .. and my most memorable interaction with the Ef .. as they expressed their admiration after the final poem was over and the strains of ‘Madhushala’ were being sung by me, with the most beautiful red roses that they threw on stage in appreciation and applauded ..  

.. a most loved occasion for me .. and I would hope for the travelling Ef as well, that came together from different parts of the World to attend this event ..

.. the climax of the end .. that strain again .. in the timing of its completion on hand .. music the food of love .. music the rhythm of the heart beat .. that invisible thread that binds the ethereal with the real .. that binds the atma to the parmatma  .. the soul to the divine .. 

.. and in its divinity the exuberance of completion , of our little mercies , of effort , of learning , of the deliverance , and the ultimate ultimatum .. nirvana ..  the Eden of the promised land  .. known to us all in belief and words, but never seen in its reality .. the symbolism breathes within us from the emergence of the human .. and its belief .. 

.. long may its validity remain ..

.. and long may the validity of companionship and love .. of care and concern .. of association and admiration .. and the caress of softness be embodied in its personification …
