DAY 1136 Amitabh Bachchan Blog

And so to bed … a bit early, but its work tomorrow at KBC promotions and we need to start early …

It is a peculiar practice though. Sleep. I have always practiced, that whenever sleep overcomes you, sleep. Even if it is for a few minutes. When you fight it, many unwanted elements take over your body and even though you may succeed in the end, we can never tell what hidden damage it may have done. I find it quite normal to announce in the midst of a meeting, a function or a private occasion that you need to retire. At times it gets awkward, impolite and rude. But better to be honest about it than pretend that you are all there when you are not.

Ha ha ha ! I tried it today ! In the middle of a meet as I felt I was going to nod off, I announced my condition, asked everyone to stay put, disappeared into another room and got horizontal for 15 mins. Got up, splashed my face with water and was back - all attentive and energised !! Cool eh !!

Sunday today ! But .. work has no Sundays so it began early as always. Went over to dub for ‘Bbuddah’ and have completed half the film in merely two days. Which if I may add in trade practice is considered rather good. Another couple and I shall be through. Took 40 days to shoot what I dub for and 4 days to dub and final it ! Film making is a peculiar art is it not !!

Any way .. here for your benefit the Sunday fans and well wishers -

28 years … since 1982 my accident they come in numbers and express the same feelings as they do now ! What can one possibly say .. it is just beyond any words .. I have nothing to give them in return … perhaps just a smile, a namaste, a wave and some autographs … that is it ! And yet they come .. speechless and without any word !!

I met up with an old friend in the Force this afternoon .. a senior officer .. and was amazed and awestruck by the way they function and operate and what goes on in this very intricate system of law and order and security. How culprits and offenders are caught and brought to justice, what their experiences have been, what those that get apprehended behave once convicted and put to prison, their thinking inside the jail and so many facets of the convicted which could make such interesting material for research and reading. It is another world altogether ! Fascinating !!

I sit now with my head phones on me ears and listen as I type out, to that melody which I love in ‘Bbuddah’ - ‘Haal e Dil’ …. the condition of my heart ! And the condition of my heart can never be too far away from my well wishers and my extended family that have remained with me in my days and hours and months and years of my life, with love and affection and so much care ! The song may describe the condition of my being, in the context of the film, but I can say with utmost honesty, that it truly depicts what I genuinely feel for all of you, in the context of my life !

I hope I can substantiate this soon when I shall put up the music of this melody in your midst, which I might add is not too far away. The masters were delivered today to the music company and hopefully the Cd should be out in a few days after printing. I am trying if it can be put out as a special gesture to the blog first ..

Love and more and more …
