… they think they are smart but we are smarter than them .. they thought times like the past still exist , but they do not ..

we asked in desperation then .. you showed attitude and arrogance .. you ask in desperation now .. we are not arrogant or with attitude .. we are quiet .. we don’t commit , acceed .. they get nothing ..

time my dears , waits for no one , it moves on ..

“अनवरत समय की चक्की चलती जाती है ; मैं जहाँ खड़ा था कल उस थल पर आज नहीं ; कल इसी जगह फिर पाना मुझको मुश्किल है ”

सोच लो ! वरना सोचना पड़ेगा, और वो सोच आपकी कभी बदलेगी नहीं, और न हमारी !!!

love gratitude and more .. much more ..❤️

… a little contemplation is never undue .. many thoughts run through .. work related .. and many other forms .. but substantial and effective ..

when you bring a semblance of the casual in the temperament .. the proclamation that often happens in an outreach for a proposed presence to enhance a moment .. the proclamation never works according to me .. casually conveyance is the call of the hour ..

for there is reason ..

do we ever proclaim in our dailies each day or there is a sense of the casual .. would say :

casualness be the corner stone of all stones ..

Casual behaviour speaks through ease, spontaneity, and unforced attention to circumstance. It adapts its tone to people, mood, and setting, preferring suggestion, humour, and ordinary gestures over grand declarations. Proclamatory behaviour, by contrast, announces itself. It seeks certainty, emphasis, and an audience, often turning opinions into principles and intentions into public commitments. The casual manner leaves room for revision and shared interpretation; the proclamatory manner fixes meaning and demands notice. Neither is inherently superior. Casualness can become evasive or indifferent, while proclamation can offer courage and clarity. Their value depends on whether the moment requires openness or conviction from us.

actors with the natural talent of non performance, when performing are the ones that be loved admired with proven followings ..

Motilal ji , Geeta Bali , Savitri .. are some that come to mind instantly , though there are several others that are brilliant .. they performed , not exactly acted in the true sense .. loved and admired equally ..

“… nothing shall come of nothing .. ”

.. and with equal sense of the ‘retirement’ .. to bed

I wrote in the Blog .. ‘its late , time to retire .. ’ which we all know means retire to bed it’s late .. and this is the Media - the CONSCIENCE of a NATION - THE ULTIMATE INFORMER !! :

जी नहीं हुज़ूर, मैं काम से रिटायर नहीं हो रहा हूँ ; अंग्रजी में इस का मतलब होता है मैं अब सोने जा रहा हों !!!

और वहाँ मान्य वार आपको आने का निमंत्रण नहीं है !

शुभ रात्रि; शुभ रात्रि; शुभ रात्रि - अपना ध्यान रखिएगा

गणेश जी की साया सदा आप पे बनी रहे !!!

सप्रेम

May the blessings of Ganapati be upon all of us .. for peace prosperity and happiness ..

.. and the work continues .. amidst all the festive excitement .. the invitation to visit the homes of the dear as they bring ‘Ganpati’ home .. to seek blessings ..

and the anomalies of the interpretations of the writing on the Blog .. that are beyond laughable ..

😂

.. the frustration or the anxiety of being the 'first’ in the domain of the public in order to get the required attention and commercial , at the cost of misinterpretation .. or the non understanding of the language from them that 'inform’ to bring attention to the happenings ..

IS the 'mirth’ of the day ..

… AND to make it justifiable to add unwanted and error expressions so that it reads real , is good commerce at the cost of the moment that never was ..

🤣

.. but bought content , needs to recover its cost .. it’s the business .. and to damnation of the reality ..

AHHHHHHH .. I how I look forward to what shall be made to shatter this Bloged expressive ness .. !!!!!!

… and I retire ..

( oh boy look forward to the comic hilarity of this )

😂

फिर देर हो गई ; अमा यार बहुत हो गया, ये तो ; Ef सोचेंगे बहाना बनाता रहता है प्रतिदिन ।

लेकिन सच्चाई ये है की, जिस दिन सोचा था छूट जाएँगे जल्दी, उसी दिन देर हो जाती है ।

तो क्षमा प्रार्थी हूँ 😔

Laughter be the best medicine , and when in distress too .. when you laugh at this distress, “distress” feels he has failed in his job of putting you in one .. so laugh .. ’distress’ will stress ..

Cool na ..

Ok enough self praise .. tomorrow another day another day another day another day ..🤣🤣😂

एक टाइपो हो गया था कल, तो उसे सुधार दिया है ;

“ऊ रावण घर दिया न बाती ”

सुधीर ने खोज निकाला, और हमने ठीक कर दिया .. साथ में उन्होंने कबीर दस जी के शब्दों से, उसे और भी रोचक बना दिया ;

Babuji has spontaneously quoted the line of Sant Kabir… it’s a popular bhajan in the Gurbani tradition… The famous - का माँगू कुछ थिर ना राही…

का माँगू कुछ थिर ना रहाई,
देखत नैन चला जग जाई।

इक लाख पूत सवा लाख नाती,
ता रावण घर दीया ना बाती।

लंका सो कोट समुद्र सी खाई,
ता रावण की खबरि ना पाई।

आवत संग ना जात संगाती,
का हुआ दल बाँधे हाथी।

कहे कबीर अंत की बारी,
हाथ झाड़ ज्यों चले जुआरी।

— संत कबीरदास… available near the Gurdwara in Amritsar

… some contestants come with such grave personal stories , that it becomes difficult to conduct not just our feelings for them but also to continue hosting the show ..

I shall not indulge more because it would take away some elements from the understanding that a host gives to the Channel .. but it has been a heart - breaking experience ..

I wish to retire now .. it is late .. and the night invites ..

Love

Amitabh Bachchan

an aside : why in India do we eat with our hands ?

Five Fingers, Five Elements!

In Sanatan tradition, our five fingers are associated with the five elements

Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Space. 🙏
That’s why our ancestors ate with their hands. 🍛

It activates our senses.
It encourages mindful eating.
It helps us connect with our food.
And it makes eating a more natural experience.

Modern tools make life easier, but sometimes our ancient traditions hold a deeper meaning.

Eating with your hands isn’t just a tradition… it’s a connection with our culture and food. 🙏

nothing more to say after this love ..

the fear is ever that wonder if they shall be there or not .. but each Sunday is special and filled with surprise ..

बाबूजी की आत्मा कथा के कुछ पन्ने देख रहा था, और एक जगह जब वो अपने पुराने रिश्तों के बारे में लिख रहे थे, तो उन्होंने लिखा कि रिश्तेदारों की संख्या इतनी बढ़ गई है की बहुत से उनको अब याद नहीं …

परंतु वो एक वृद्ध रिश्ते के घर गए थे , और देखा की डयोढ़ी में , प्रवेश का ,जो द्वार की लकड़ी थी, जीण क्षीण हो गए थी .. कहा उन्होंने की पुरानी एक प्रथा है कि घर में, कडू तेल, सरसों का तेल का दिया जलाया जाता था .. और वो शुभ माना जाता था .. तो सालों से जो दिया वहाँ जलता था, तेल बाहर निकल जाता होगा, उसकी वजह से डयोढ़ी इस अवस्था में हो गई … लेकिन दिया जलाने की प्रथा नहीं टूटी .. फिर उन्हों ने एक दोहा लिखा -

“ एक लख पूत, सवा लख नाती ; ऊ रावण घर दिया न बाती ”

( अरे भाई टाइपो हो गया , होना चाहिए ऊ रावण घर )

समझ गए होंगे आप सब !!

स्नेह भरा प्रणाम !!

कनवा हमरा जोर कुकुवात..!!!😲😳

.. such a joy to hear the awadhi .. spoken at my birthplace and so nostalgic , when ever , so responded in a few verse lines ..

🤣 🤣

.. else a busy day as always and taking decisions for the future .. how the rapid changing World will address the next generation .. and how to nurture the next to what is in store for them .. perhaps shall be incable to do so, because my parents never prepared us for this generation .. they only gave us the importance of values and ethics .. all else shall fall into place ..

they did and have ..

we shall not be there to witness it , but this can be said now .. the years to come shall be the most advanced , technologically , and challenging, driven in an avatar that has not even been imagined ..

peace prosperity and love ❤️

बचपन में इस शुभ दिन पर हम सब गाते नाचते थे , इसपर :

“ हाथी घोड़ा पालकी; जय कन्हैया लाल की !!"🙏

अब लोग कह रहे हैं की आज की पीढ़ी, इस पर हँसेगी, और उसे इस के बारे में पता ही नहीं होगा ..

लेकिन मुझे विश्वास है कि वे सब जानते हैं; और न जानते हों तो अब जान जाएँगे 😊

.. the days and hours pass by and the events and opportunities that arise keep knocking on your door each moment , tempting you to embrace them .. ALL ..

so .. one does not want to dissuade them, but giving them time to explain and seek licence to be involved, is the problem from one who is so terribly bad at decision making ..

one tries and opens the several mind doors, that the wise say, remain shut unless provoked used or brought to the front ..

so i try , i endeavour ..

but getting its value is the problem .. never know how to deal with it ..

so best to sleep over it ..

a rested mind , gives liberty to the mind to OPEN

.. more connects with the brave contestants on KBC and the electric audiences that come to watch and be a part of the show .. they are the reason for the uplift of energy and presence .. when they cheer, its divine ..

.. may it ever be so ..

.. but truly the contestants , their stories , their struggles in life and the immediate upliftment within minutes is such a heart warming experience ..

.. when a young girl takes on the responsibility of the family, in financial and other troubles, and works hard to win handsomely within hours , it is a selected emotional moment for the entire team , audience and the host ..

.. it propagates that the girl is an asset in the family , unlike what the thinking still exists in many arts of the interiors that they should be curtailed, kept in the home , given home making work and not spend finance on education ..

.. when a girl defies that reading, that dictat, and comes out a winner there is nothing so pleasing for me ..

.. the girl is the biggest asset of the family ..

… may this bond of love affection and care live eternally - the dedication of the relation between a sister and a brother , never to be broken or forgotten .. its sacred thread tied to the wrist, is the symbol of perpetuity in the relationship .. its auspicious presence fortifies its reason ..

On a more serious note the devastation of the floods in Nepal are unbearable to watch .. the fury of nature can never be battled with .. its respect needs the presence of the divine ..

we pray .. for that in itself is beyond all .. 🙏

Affection and care
