'जीवन की आपाधापी में कब वक़्त मिला कुछ देर कहीं पर बैठ कभी ये सोच सकूँ, जो किया , कहा , माना, उसमें क्या बुरा भला !"

~ हरि��ंश राय बच्चन

In the rush of Life when did we ever get the time to sit and think - what we did , what we believed , what we said - what was the good or what the bad in it !

A entirely significant and different poetry form , almost written 70 + years ago by Babuji .. and on referring it today here on the Blog, we appreciate the farsighted wisdom and thought of a great poet , in its visualization , as we see what the happenings of the World are coming to !!!

आदर आभार 🙏

अमिताभ बच्चन

many Ef complain that I am forgetting to wish them on birthdays ..!!!

Look this practice was done by me in heartfelt emotion .. it has been appreciated .. and at times not ..

I do have a Bank of contacts , that was made by me .. but due to some tech issues with the Net and the Computer machine , changes occur .. I am not deliberately missing out names ..

But if it is causing some irritant to the Ef .. I shall stop the birthday wishes practice altogether

न रहेगा बांस, ना बजेगी बांसुरी !!!!

DAY 6339

Jalsa, Mumbai June 22, 2025/June 23 Sun/Mon 1:38 am

इतना स्नेह इतना प्यार !! निशब्द हूँ मैं !!

जीवन की आपाधापी में, मैंने ऐसा क्या किया, इस भरपूर affection, अनुराग पाने के लिए !! ये आप सब की कृपा का 'प्रसाद स्वरूप' मैं माथे लगाता हूँ ..

... this love and attention that you give me .. that the people of this land give me .. is and has been my life support .. it has been unconditional and filled ONLY with emotion , and love ..

A huge debt of love that I shall never be able to repay .. NEVER .. !!!

Through the times of despair and tribulations .. through the years of setbacks .. through undeserved accusations ..

YOU HAVE ALL BELIEVED AND STOOD BY ME ..

WHAT CAN I EVER SAY ..

EXCEPT :

🙏

🙏

🙏

"क्या मुझको आवश्यकता है, साक़ी से माँगूँ हाला ,

क्या मुझको आवश्यकता है, साक़ी से चाहूँ प्याला,

पीकर मदिरा मस्त हुआ तो

प्यार किया क्या मदिरा से !

मैं तो पागल हो उठता हूँ, सुन लेता यदि मधुशाला !!!"

~ हरि वंश राय बच्चन

न साक़ी की, न हाला की, न प्याले की आवश्यकता है मुझे ... मदिरा पीकर यदि मस्त हुआ, तो क्या मदिरा से प्यार किया मैंने .. ??

नहीं ! नहीं ! नहीं !

मैं तो पागल हो जाता हूँ जब मधुशाला सुन लेता हूँ !!

why do I write this verse of the great Madhushala .. because I do not need the necessity of the Saki, nor the cup nor the whine .. for if I have consumed the wine and been consumed by it .. have i demonstrated my love for the wine .. ???

NO ! NO ! NO !

I become intoxicated , by just hearing the MADHUSHALA .. !!!

You that come religiously to the gates of Prateeksha & Jalsa, each Sunday from the day of my release from Hospital in 1982 , to this day ..

you all are my .. MADHUSHALA !!!

when I hear you each Sunday you are my MADHUSHALA !!!

DAY 6198

Jalsa, Mumbai Feb 4, 2025 Tue 9:22 pm

Birthday - EF - Ramesh Kumar Churiwal , Tripti Srivastava , Valorie Lynne Adams Wednesday, 5 February ..

all our wishes for this special day and the love of the Ef ..

🌺

In time at last and the rush on hold for sometime .. but work continues .. and in as relentless a manner as before ..

But work is work and never needs the space for excuse .. the effort and the sincerity with which it be executed or performed is primary ..

And tonight shall be a latish night ..

Abhishek turns 49 .. and his new year shall be brought in ..

👆🏼

Feb 5, 1976 ..

Time has passed rapidly .. !!!!

At times there is a desire to foment the mind and express the thoughts with what needs to be said .. an urge ..

But with the universal information bureau spread across every corner of the hemisphere, the arousal of many tributaries , not necessarily compassionate with the text , gets mutilated ..

So ..

One rather keep all of it within and prevent its express ..

One does not need the strength of its silence , but the satisfaction of its unreserved comment being with you rather than to be spread ..

For one shall ever almost definitely lead to several unrelated others ..

Work ..

Enjoy ..

the best time spent ..

be it the BC'd one or ..

the Stadium of Victory ..

there is nothing quite like the experience and the joy of witnessing a live game in the Stadium .. it is an unbelievable moment .. simply the best ..

... and out in the pouring rain , singing the ditty that has been rendered by the moi ..🤣 .. in the most enjoyable manner ..

Variety of life be the ultimate possession .. be it keep it love it render it ...

My love

Amitabh Bachchan

DAY 6141

Jalsa, Mumbai Dec 12, 2024/Dec 13 Thu/Fri 1:51 am

A quiet day ..

When the efficiency is wasted and worn ..

When the day has been forlorn ..

be in the quiet of the dawn , and inform ..

.. when the clarion sells its wares .. when the other glares and stares .. pick up the mower of the lawn .. and mow down the weathered lawn

Love

Amitabh Bachchan

Good Night @srbachchan ji 🤗

DAY 5969

Jalsa, Mumbai June 21/22, 2024 Fri/Sat 3:41 AM

🪔 ,

June 21 .. Ef Rajeev Sharma .. please confirm if birthday date is on June 21 or June 17 ?? .. love ..

June 22 .. birthday greetings to .. Ef Ashwini from Sydney - Australia 🇦🇺 .. and Ef Asmaa Ghansar from Ryad - KSA 🇸🇦 .. 🙏🏻❤️🚩

day before yesterday's Blog was written at work yesterday and today am writing yesterday's Blog .. and life is still as confused as it was yesterday by the today of the DAY ..

make sense .. ?

probably not .. it is coming on to 3:49 at night or rather 3:49 AM of the 22nd June .. and generally by this time matters do NOT make sense ..

so apologies and my regrets for troubling them that are still within time to read it now almost live .. er .. from the Western hemisphere !!

.. and what do you think of this .. at work .. lights and production effects and all .. ??

I am actually asking about the hoodie ..!!

🤣 🤣

YES YES YES .. the hoodie .. designed by moi .. me , I .. seriously !!

It's from the work place I work at .. and its

Macmerise.com .. !

Pick up the phone .. go there .. you shall get an order form, or such .. fill in the PROJECT portion .. the style you may imagine .. put it in for a hoodie, or t shirt, or mug or bag or phone cover .. for hoodie put in the size .. like S, M, L , XL, XXL .. your name , address , mobile and on , and within seconds the site will give you several designs of what you thought of .. pick one .. put it in the form .. and within a phataphat number of time it shall be delivered at your doorstep !!

I thought of 'a Tiger, with flowers' and here we are ..

Yaaaa ..

it's Macmerise.com ..

super is it not .. !

I did mine myself .. and you can do yours too ..

looooovvvvvvvvv eeee it baby .. !!!

do not worry about the green tabs on the Hoodie .. they could be the design you want ..

OR .. they are the markings for the VFX to put in on the Hoodie the design you have thought of ..

COOL na .. !!??

... the studio camera light .. gentle small does not affect the eyes and delivers more than what we were exposed to in my time .. big huge BRUTS they were called .. hot as hell and bright .. wow .. had problem opening the eyes ..

but we did it .. managed somehow ..

and still trying to manage ..

with all the costume heavy and the prosthetics .. and make up for hours and hours for KALKI .. the trailer of which has been released today ..

and yes the Hindi version - the song sung by moi .. tough for a non singer, but recordists today do unbelievable magic with their electronic equipment .. and ,, BADUMMBAAA , a song comes out ..

it's on YouTube .. and on my social media .. Twitter and FB and Insta ..

A learning today from one of the this generation ..

make a call on mobile , hear the bell ringing, but if it saying on the top 'calling' .. the call is not going through .. if it is saying 'ringing' then it is ..

Never knew about this at all .. gosh I am such a dodo .. know nothing at all ..

the learning graph is spiraling downwards .. 😳

the dark glasses .. to hide the eyes from the glare ...

NAAAH ..

to hide the wrinkles around the eye .. HA HA HA ..

at 82 yrs , what do you expect ???!!!

its CONFESTIONAL time at this hour .. 😂

alright dearies .. and the loved Ef ..

shubh raatri .. GN 😴

Happy Sunday Darshan @srbachchan sir ji & Eid Mubarak 🌙

DAY 5964

Jalsa, Mumbai June 16, 2024 Sun 11:44 PM

🪔 ,

June 17 .. birthday greetings to :

Ef Rajeev Sharma from NYC ..

Ef Sigali Siman Tov ..

and Ef Rishit Shukla from Ahmedabad .. 🙏🏻🚩❤️

my wishes and the wishes of the entire Ef family for prosperity peace calm and love ..❤️

.. the memory test, and this one reads with great interest these days, is tested now for the moment of the Blog .. and when I do rewind the time clock for the day , there is little that can be of any remembrance ... the breathing yoga , the AI gym, the concerted physio , takes away more than the day .. and then one sits in wonder and apprehension for the GOJ .. and there is a fear and , well, not really a fear , but one that runs through the mind ..

'will anyone still be there ..' ?

and as the gates open the energised reception and the smiles and the cheering and the multitudinous mobiles up in the air , take over .. and take over the balconies of the balcony in the structure ahead of the road across and the rooftop of another and their vociferous waves and movements to be seen , capture the eye and attention is drawn there .. after due respect to the Ef in the front rows .. and the slogan shouting Ef's of the day and the banners and the pictures in abundance to be autographed and given in immediate return .. and the turn back to the isolation of the personalised room .. and the wonder of , 'did it really happen all this' ..

a short reflect to the Office , in meets .. and back to the meal with the kids and now the joint adventure of the EURO football game in a while .. the WCt20 having taken a spot in the playoffs with distinction and the awaited anticipation of the next .. game .. and its results ..

And between all this .. a written record of what has been discussed for and met with, for the upcoming thoughts, for the future ..

the future .. which seems crowded .. but there is ever a space in the crowds for that little inch of space to discover , move in and find yourself on the other side .. fresh air fresh horizon and fresh mind .. safe in the protection and comfort of the comfortable - the self .. !

the self is the undisclosed unburdened unknown understanding - alliteration be acknowledged - of the under .. !!

🤨

the alliteration just dropped by not quite accidentally but by response .. a response to a message that came by on an occasion and my reply being ..

"Grateful gratitude 🙏 greetings ❤️" ..

and what would normally come as an acceptance of maybe most times nothing at all , what came by was ..

'alliteration accepted '

and alliteration in its own right .. 🤣 🤣

So .. the walk down the GOJ aisle .. in heartbeat moments .. and then the climb to the viewing box .. for the revelation that all is well ..

And all the time the moment of the great Charlie Chaplin comes running by, as he is invited back to Hollywood after years from his exile , so to say , being deported from USA , on the suspicion of being labelled a communist , to be decorated by the Academy for a LifeTime Award .. and as he stands in the wings of the stage waiting for the announcement, he hesitantly asked the aide standing by his side to usher him in :

'will they clap .. ??

and when he does, he gets the longest standing ovation ever .. his eyes filled with unspoken emotion, unable to say a word .. he just stands there .. his face filled with uncontrolled gratitude ..

Ahhh .. what a moment in the history of cinema !!!

एक और रविवार बीत गया

Karaka Chaturthi (Karva Chauth) Wednesday, 1 November

Birthday - EF Vaijayanti Ravindra Damle Wednesday, 1 November ... greetings and wishes for this special day from the Ef family

...and there is yet again a gross misconduct on my part in not putting up the Blog as it should have been , last night .. so huge apologies for this lapse ..

an Ef friend sent a wonderful message , regarding .. what is the difference between .. 'like' and 'love' ..

it said :

when you 'like' a flower .. you just pluck it .. when you 'love' a flower , you water it daily !!

my love to the Ef needs watering every day .. hence .. LOVE

पसंद और प्यार में क्या अंतर है :

जब आप एक फूल को पसंद करते हैं तो आप उसे अपने लिये तोड़ लेते हैं; लेकिन जब आप एक फूल से प्यार करते हैं, तो उसे प्रति दिन सींचते है पानी से !!!

DAY 5798

Jalsa, Mumbai Jan 1/2, 2024 Mon/Tue 12:20 AM

🪔 ,

January 02 .. birthday wishes to Ef Smita Buch .. Ef Nita Menon .. Ef Mohammad Amin Sarwar from Faisalabad, Pakistan 🇵🇰 .. and Ef Minie Manal from Russia 🇷🇺 .. love and affection .. 🙏🏻🚩

The hand goes in repetition to the 12 and '23 .. and then you realise it's done .. it is now 1 and 1 and '24 ..

It was the 31 st that was intriguing .. last DAY of the week , last day of the month , last day day of the year 🥹 .. pretty darn cool .. naaah !! .. too Gen Z colloquial .. errmm .. "it was rather coincidental" .. hmm .. better .. !

😁

So the year endeth as does the 23 to 24 .. bringing as is often expressed , a better year .. blessed and hope filled with achievement and prosperity ..

But they all say that at the end of the year .. always .. and then the year takes over and performs according to its willing .. to be assessed when it shifts from 24 to 25 .. and on ....

The celebrations on the turn of the tide remained quiet, sombre and mostly on solitudinous thought .. no reflections on what went by .. it never does bring any reflect .. and the memory simply fails to bring those visuals alive .. indeed the memory fails to bring many of the past, alive .. moments , names , incidents , details and places - there at the tip of your tongue, but ailing, yes ailing, not failing, to form those magical words ..

🙃

words that were readily available at the drop of the 'proverbial hat' ..

'proverbial hat ..' ?

where on earth did this expression come from ..

AAAAHHHH .. found out ..

'The phrase “at the drop of a hat” originated sometime in the early 19th century when it was common for people to signal the start of a fight or a race by literally dropping a hat or waving it down through the air.

This signal would prompt the participants to start fighting or running immediately. As years passed, the phrase took on a broader meaning and became associated with almost any activity done without a second thought.'

hmmm .. nothing very bright or original ..

but the GOJ is ever original and filled with the love of the well wishers and a joy as ever to be in their midst every Sunday .. and the consideration for having the drinking water available , ad also the fans that sprinkle a thin layer of the acqua into the audience just to keep them cool and comfortable ..

some complained that they were positioned right in front of them so they could not see, so had pedestals made for them and hope that the well wishers are adapting to this immediate request of theirs ..

see the fans on either sides of the gate .. ?

🕺

... the namaste .. hmm .. the little finger still struggling to straighten out after the surgery .. well .. most of the hand is struggling .. its strength not back to normal .. holding writing with pen and several other deeds that hands are involved in , are in limbo ..

The medical says it normally takes 5-6 months .. !

The hand .. the most complicated machinery on the human body .. serviced by several nerves .. in fact three of the fingers serviced by one particular nerve .. one and half finger serviced by another .. and the remaining by another ..

amaze .. !!

I often ask the medical professionalists how and what they feel when they - who are privileged to have access to the workings of most of the elements in the body - feel, at the complexities of our human system and its working ..

And they seem perplexed that we should seek such information .. for, for them, it is the education, medical degrees address .. much as the grammar equations they teach at English language classes or the attaining of degrees in their education .. the adjective the adverb the consonance et al .. frightening moments for me .. never could understand these delicacies of the language and still do not .. much of the reason I rejected BA English and took up BSc .. but then those 'delicacies' were equally non understandable !!!! 😳

see ya .. and love ❤️

DAY 5783

Jalsa, Mumbai Dec 17/18, 2023 Sun/Mon 11:59 PM

At a time when it is needed to be remembering what transpired the entire day, the change has now dissolved the cells that did that before and have created , albeit with the cells of another in invention , a recorder of all facets in order that memory lapses be restored .. a most cooperative element of society in the today to be able to awaken them that may have been lost in the infinity of cellular time ..

the ordinary days before at the scheduled work worked with a whip on the backs to keep pushing to complete attempt finish move to the next .. and the time punctuality in place ..

but now there is the absence of urgency to catch the next bus , for really even if it were to be missed , what did it and how did it matter .. for there is none on the other side .. vacant , undesired , free and fructuous .. no matter what the fruit be ..

😁

the only push is the GOJ at the standard appeal of consequence .. so design all else but keep the gate in mind .. since after that the water of India be in waste - non performing, insipid and rotten in taste .. an embarrassment ..

But in this trepidation , the brighter side of the dark tunnelesqu .. haha fresh out of the unforgiven ill language oven - was the subject of giving .. of sending .. of being able to procure for the benefit of one or more , since the medium had fallen short of requirement ..

fed with morsels of gifting and procuring for the future of a young .. a sense and being of breathing freshness .. all over ..

" the good that men do lives after them .."

with an apology to the peare of the shakes .. 🤣

working in unison for the uplift .. ever .. to be in the safety of safe ..

'barefoot in the park ' ....

🙃
