DAY 1100 Amitabh Bachchan Blog
The city that never sleeps, induces humans to add to its nocturnal addictions, and one such sits before you today to connect despite the late hour. But it has been impossible to work out my time schedule in order to get some rest and sleep. At the ‘Bbuddah’ climax shooting action the entire day and most part of the evening, leave the muscles strained and the body sore. But the flow of adrenalin when it happens keeps us in high spirits and somehow through some unknown force keeps us going.
Shoot over went across to V@S studio for the final recording of the song that has been sung by yours truly. It such a joy to be in the company of music and musicians. So after the work was over, friends from the industry drop by, lounge around, listen to other tracks and generally make smart conversation. We finally have a track and hopefully the shoot for it which starts on the Monday, shall be executed. In the company of some other music enthusiasts, we get an insite into their worlds by being good listeners. Bengali songs, songs from East Bengal and Orrisa all played to silent listeners and what a delight it was .
Folk music has the eternal power of sustenance. The world over folk has been the kind of music that comes straight from the earth, first and foremost. It is the music that aligns itself to the ground as it were, to the depths of our sea water. Many discoveries later do we get an inkling of what exactly transpired. We have lived with folk music through out during the early years of my existence and the early years of upbringing. We have discovered that both the uprising and inspiring process would not be possible to be done together, but alas it was. Folk music uplifts and also inspires us. I consider folk music to be the closest that one can get towards the Almighty !
Job done, went home to meetings and free talk. It has come up to 3:10Pm and one must get some rest, for, tomorrow is a date with ‘polio’.
As I drive back I see a flood of youngsters, on their bikes at some corner or the other and marvel at the paucity that I could exercise in wondering how they keep themselves. It is a free life and being out at night on a Saturday gives them the liberty to express themselves as they wish. The youth is now the largest percentage of the population and perhaps arguably the most in most other countries. They have a different agenda, but also a different responsibility. And it is they that society, business and entertainment caters to. We may tend to not understand the priorities that the youth have or seek to have, but we cannot deny their very prominent existence.
Long may they live and long may they give us reason to smile ..
Love ..
Amitabh Bachchan
