25 Years Of Abhishek Bachchan: Weathering Ridicule, Embracing Reinvention https://www.outlookindia.com/amp/story/art-entertainment/25-years-of-abhishek-bachchan-weathering-ridicule-embracing-reinvention ..

The essence of life is NEVER GIVE UP ..

fight till the very end .. you may win you may lose .. BUT AT LEAST YOU FOUGHT ..

The 'pluckiest' .. (the trait of showing courage and determination) loser has more respect than the 'so called winner ' .. for the pluckiest loser always shall be remembered by - 'he fought and almost WON'

That has a greater sense of success than the more monetary guideline of commercial success ..

25 years !! that is no mean feat .. comparisons with others is a weakness .. the results speak more than any other 'ness' ..

You Abhishek have ever and ALWAYS compared yourself with yourself .. not many can do that ..

And each day I learn more and more and more ..

They tell me you have done enough sit back and relax ..

NO .. sitting back is a defeat of life - you are giving up .. and one should

NEVER GIVE UP !!

"Never give up" is more than a phrase—it's a mindset that shapes the journey of success. Life is full of challenges, setbacks, and failures, but those who persevere rise above them. Each fall is a lesson, and each trial, a test of inner strength. Giving up means surrendering potential, while persistence fuels growth and transformation. History honors those who kept going despite the odds. When the path seems blocked, determination finds a new way. Courage lies not in never failing, but in rising each time we fall. Believe in yourself, keep striving, and remember—greatness begins with not giving up.

.... the imagery may be the same but the reason be different .. the love of music can never be defined .. what I see and feel shall NEVER be felt and seen by any other ..

FOR ME .. 🙏

Amitabh Bachchan

एक साल में तीन ( ३ ) फ़िल्में बनायीं और तीनों अलग अलग भूमिकाएँ - I Want to Talk ; Houseful 5 , Kaalidhar Lapata .. और तीनों में, ऐसा प्रदर्शन जो सब से अलग, किरदार ; कहीं भी नहीं लगा कि ये अभिषेक बच्चन है, नहीं .. सब में यही लगा कि यही किरदार है .. ऐसा, आज के युग में देखना , अलग बात , उसे स्वीकार करना, और सक्षम निभाना, ये गुण अभिषेक तुमने दुनिया को दिखा दिया !! मेरा हृदय से आशीर वाद और ढेर सारा प्यार । हाँ हाँ हाँ ! तुम मेरे बेटा हो, और मुझे तुम्हारी प्रशंसा करते हुए कोई नहीं रोक सकता । 🙏🕉🛕

Abhishek in one year you have given 3 films .. and all with different stories and characters that you have played -

I Wank to Talk ; Houseful 5 ; Kaalidhar Laapata ..

and in all these films your performance has been so different .. never did one realise that this is Abhishek Bachchan .. it was always portrayed that you have become INDEED the character of the story ..

I today's times, to witness something like this is another matter , to accept and give it so much praise , is an attribute you have shown to the World ..

My love affection and all love and care ..

YES YES YES !!!! YOU ARE MY SON .. and no one can stop me from praising you .. you deserve it .. deserve it on your own terms .. 💪

AND THE YEAR HAS NOT ENDED YET .. WONDER WHAT OTHER SURPRISES YOU SHALL BE BRINGING ..

ADMIRATION AND LOVE TO ALL

I spent some time with myself .. the wallet expired of the spending .. came little lady on the window of the car, pleading to buy a bunch of 'gajra' flowers .. I had spent all the wallet filled .. watched in sadness as we drove away , distant from those sad expectant eyes ..

drenched in the rain .. she stood .. perhaps that wallet would have taken care of her meal .. now left distraught ..

lesson ..

ever carry some spend in the wallet, ever .. to never allow that which happened to them, that, in expectation ...

Love

Company of the one that stands by .. company of the many that stand by .. company of the intent to stand by ..

They be the company that company describes ..

ये स्नेह अपार, ये साथ सदा उपहार 1982 से 'प्रतीक्षा' के बाहर, और 1993 से 'जलसा' के बाहर, हर इतवार .. कृपा कृपा कृपा, हर बार ।

.. a Sunday like any other .. the Cricket flowing , the Wimbledon Final .. the victory in sight for one .. the other, in victory, vanquished the holder ..

arrogance and ego can be in character, but never does it characterise character ..

"Arrogance and ego reflect an inflated sense of self-worth, often blinding individuals to reality and others' perspectives. This attitude denotes a lack of humility and self-awareness, leading to strained relationships, poor teamwork, and resistance to growth. When present in one’s character, it can alienate peers, foster conflict, and create an illusion of invincibility. Such traits hinder learning and adaptability, as the individual becomes dismissive of feedback and criticism. Over time, arrogance can mask insecurity, while ego-driven actions may cause personal and professional downfall. True strength lies in confidence tempered with humility, not in self-importance that separates rather than connects."

You can draw attention to be heard , with a sense that it shall be the voice of the Universe .. that the World shall stop rotating around the Sun, and stop to listen to His or her Majesty's voice filled with self worth ..

🤣

you live in a fools paradise .. actually even that is a misnomer .. fools do not exist in Paradise .. assertion and all .. putting down someone to sound and be the superior , is the confirmed trait of the inferior ..

the harder the inferior tries to be the superior , the harder the 'try' fails .. in turn it is the biggest exposé , the uncovering indulgence, of human nature ..

"हीनभावना एक मानसिक स्थिति है जिसमें व्यक्ति स्वयं को दूसरों से कमतर समझता है। यह आत्मविश्वास की कमी से उत्पन्न होती है। बचपन के अनुभव, सामाजिक तुलना और असफलताएँ इसे बढ़ावा देती हैं। हीनभावना व्यक्ति की सोच, व्यवहार और संबंधों पर नकारात्मक प्रभाव डालती है। "

my inferiority guides me to stop these philosophical lecture 'baazi' and head to the bed ..

Love and prayers ..

In consonance with the posting on the Blog there is a consonance opinion that today the 12th of July shall remain vacant ..

आज के ब्लॉग पे कुछ लिखने की बात पर एक सार्वजनिक इच्छा व्यक्त की गई है कि, आज कुछ भी न लिखा जाए । जीवन में शांत स्वभाव भी स्वाभाविक होता है ।

Jalsa, Mumbai July 11, 2025/July 12 Fri/Sat 12:34 am

Got late again .. had turned in but felt the connect had not been done so got up and came back to the Ef .. they be the reason to be awake ..

🤣

Management has been one of the admired qualities of institutions and individuals , and one that has been admired by me too .. it's a skill that needs great knowledge academically, but also immense practical form and intent ..

When you hear and learn of Management Institutes , the first wonder is, 'do they really have an entire Institute that teaches Management '?

and then slowly you begin to understand the workings and admiration fills you up .. blessed are they that can manage .. they are a league by themselves .. and one that I should have learnt earlier ..

But then there are so many things that one should have learnt earlier .. music and reading and arts and crafts and knowledge of the sciences and so much more ..

Google be blessed .. much of the work and information now comes from them .. in the convenience of the tap of a button .. whoever thought this would be possible !

For one who celebrated with huge aplomb when we got the first phone in our home - the dial type .. or the time when the first frigidaire was purchased by my parents .. or that air conditioning machine that sat on a window and cooled the room, after joining the film industry and earned enough to buy one , and place it in just one selected room .. aaah , the joy of possession of luxury .. had never known of all this , before ..

ईश्वर की कृपा रही है, उसे कभी भी भूलना नहीं चाहिए ; जितना भी मिला, उसका अनुमान नहीं था - जितना मिला है, खुश रहना चाहिए ।

संतुष्ट , संतुष्टि, ये भी एक मापदंड होता है जीवन में । जितनी जल्दी इसे समझ लिया जाये उतना ही अच्छा !

अब चले हैं, निद्रा के लिए

आज के इस पावन दिवस पे, मेरी शुभकामनाएँ और स्नेह ।

बहुत से Ef ने मुझे अपनी अपनी शुभकामनाएँ भेजी हैं, और मैं उन सब को इस माध्यम के द्वारा, अपना स्नेह और आभार व्यक्त करता हूँ । सब को व्यक्तिगत रूप में उत्तर देना असंभव होगा, और मैं आशा करता हूँ कि आप सब मेरी कठिनाई को समझ लेंगे ।

All the generous Ef have wished me on this auspicious day and I am most grateful and happy that you have expressed your love and affection to me .. the numbers are large and it shall be impossible for me to reply to each one individually .. so do accept my gratitude here on this platform as my response , and give me your compassionate understanding ..

May we continue to keep learning each day and bring to the World all the knowledge that we can assimilate .. may this be the eternal mission of each one of us .. for each day is a learning ..

The good teaches us how we were able to decipher the bad and keep it distant .. the bad teaches us the greatest lesson .. if there was no bad we would have never learnt what is good .. the bad teaches us which path should have been taken and not to repeat those earlier mistakes again ..

At times the BAD gives us a better lesson than all else .. for it opens doors towards what the good should be ...

Love restrain and the power to learn to change to be better ..

साधारण कह देना आसान है; साधारण बनना आसान नहीं !

"In character, in manners, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity. …"

did I ever know that the wonder in the eyes of this little boy, would build himself up to be a wonder in the eyes of others ..

being simple is a metaphor ; portraying it on film is plain expression , a literal ..

and as I finish seeing Kaalidhar Laapata , I can think of no better words to express myself in as plain a manner as possible, for the intent and presence of the film .. and a performance dug deep into the chasms of simplicity ...

In a World surrounded each moment with the noise of existence, and demand , materialism and capture , it is a momentous challenge to challenge all of what we are pushed into through deliberation , and present that moment in our lives, that breathes what life challenges us each day -

SIMPLICITY

And the Ef writes a few words that sums it up all :

जो समझते हैं वो कहते नहीं, जो नहीं समझते उनका क्या कहना ...

Nothing could be more auspicious today than the occasion of Aashadi Ekadashi ..

... and my good fortune to be at the temple to seek the blessings .. may there be peace and harmony .. love and understanding .. wellness and good health .. and the brightness of the celestial ..

स्नेह आभार

"Spend your money on the things money can buy .. Spend your time on the things money can't buy ." ~ HM

अपने पैसों को ख़��्चो , उन चीज़ों पे, जो पैसों से ख़रीदी जा सकें ;;; अपने समय को उन चीज़ों पे ख़र्चो , जिन्हें पैसे ख़रीद नहीं सकते ~ HM

... and the work starts in real earnest .. hours and hours of sets and campaign films and still shoots , the visulas of which I am not permitted to post ..

discipline is ever valued , indiscipline never ..

the discipline for an artist is not just the creative that he creates , but to honour and value the creatives of the person who has reasoned for you to be a part of his creative ..

🤣

an input from an Ef :

The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have started asking humans to prove that they are not robots 🤣

Yes it is late .. the day began very early and has just ended a short while back .. work is work , it cannot be shirked .. haha .. I rhymed !!

But when work comes in preference, all else falls into place - the mind the body .. all ..

there is no better sleeping challenged pill for slumber, than a fulfilling day at work .. and I do hope that my day at work shall be fulfilling tonight 😴

so some work oriented visuals I have risked putting up .. but really they give away nothing ..

Such as :

हवा आन दे , pyjamas !!!

and some regulars , or rather irregulars !!!

slumber calls ..
