🧡 ,
Aug 14 .. birthday of Ef Kishore Bhatt from UK 🇬🇧 .. gracious greetings , Kishore .. we are on time this year 😁 .. thank you for your affection and your dedication and for being with us all these years .. happiness to you and good health and all the best wishes always .. from us all your Ef .. 🏵️
.. and the many moods of the day at work .. starting around 6 am and ending by 10 pm .. and the joy of spending time with the contestants and the guests on sets as an audience that provide the cheer and voice so inspiring for work to go uninterrupted and to be in the company of an entire young group of crew that give work a dedication so proficiently executed ..
to experience the love and the attention at this age and stage of the professional career is a tribute to them all that have tolerated me for some 53 years .. to be reminded each hour as the game stretches on for the recitation of the dialogues of some of my earlier films .. of the songs they sing .. of the objects of art they present at the end of the show .. and the millions of autographs they ask and get from me after the game is over irrespective of the time it may be .. they came they waited patiently and sat through the game for hours .. my admiration and my love to them for this ..
they bring art works , paintings , pictures and references of years gone by which they have kept in well maintained diary’s .. they wish to read out the poems in praise they have composed .. prasad from their temples ..
and just the expressions of affection that they express in their conversations and their outstretched hands for a touch a hand shake ..
an overflowing river of grace and love .. immense love ..
blessed to be in such company .. blessed to be receptive of their thought word and deed .. blessed to be in their proximity and savour the compassion and generosity of their attention ..
simply blessed ..
and I indulge on the time and overtime of today .. for the morrow is a break of sorts .. to be not in front of the audience and on sets for KBC but to be in the gathering of all that comes by and stores up in and around .. not knowing at any given time what needs to be done next ..
so .. a solution has been formed ..
a post it stuck with instructions, on the desk .. jobs to be done at vantage points of my appearance .. tags, luminous stickers .. and the psychological bearing of whatever comes to the mind to record it or perform it in its immediacy ..
for in the time to shift to the other, it shall be lost in thought and translation 🤣
It is now given deed that the interest and care and supervision that is done in the person personally is the best ever , despite the availability of staff and others to follow instructions and chores ..
what the owner sees and wants is never seen by the one to whom instruction has been given .. call then in the immediate to further oversee and check whether the command has been understood and executed as has been advised or instructed ..
and there is surprise and lamentation and consternation as to why I .. I .. I must do this when there are others to do it for you ..
NNAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH .. !
never ..
the personal is the best supervisor .. drive it yourself, clean it yourself , print it yourself , write it yourself , speak it yourself , instruct it yourself ..
self self self .. it is the SELF that shall prevail ..
the self be the best ornament, judge, and player in life .. my mind my thought my execution ..
and as it comes to dawn .. the strains of the recently composed music, play silently by the side and the understanding of it shall never be understood by any other .. NEVER ..
it was that silent solitudinous - if that can be accepted as a word expression - moment that brought it on .. and non one could have access to it in its tone breath and feel other than the composer .. albeit in the being of one of my amateurish attempts on the keys ..
I may have the ability to talk it through .. but the understanding shall never be the same .. for if I may endeavour a thought -
no one understands the creator, other than the creator ..
and if there are some that wish to challenge that and come up with unqualified responses .. they are not being honest with themselves or worse their creation ..
I shall rest my mind of the most limited creativity .. and be in the preparation for some brickbats by the comments on the medium of mediums ..

Aug 13 .. birthday of Ef Sunil Venugopal and Ef Venkatachalan Ramanathan .. wishes to you and greetings ..
And .. happy birthday to Ef Chandani Kushwaha from UP .. for Aug 12 .. along with Maaji 🙏🏻 ..
Love to all .. be well .. be happy .. from your Ef .. 🙏🏻🏵️🏵️🏵️🌿
Excess .. the apprehensive feast of the starving .. need be in the need for more .. more be in the need for its manage .. manage be in the meed of constancy .. constancy be in the need of administration .. administration be in the need of mind matter and manpower .. and all this is in the need of ability ..
that is what remains missing ever ..
ability ..
there is no meter for ability .. no judge no court no will no document no mr google ..
and when the constraints be in the realm of the beyond .. we withdraw ..
ability needs strength and will ..
at times and on some most of the time, it weakens and fails ..
the irony prevails ..
what was the need for need at all , when all was apparent .. ?
Some questions in life shall ever remain unanswered ..
perhaps for the rebirth to be in presence for it to be exercised ..
and the debate shall be questioned .. rebirth ? you mean actually believe in that .. ?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

hearts and roses .. MA !
a gentle moment spent with her in Prateeksha .. to seek blessings and love

As the minutes pass .. into the day next .. Maa .. Maa ji .. that one word that never leaves us ever .. it never did when she was with us .. and never shall ever ..
Her birth tomorrow - the 12th of August ..
.. the most beautiful and the most loving Mother ever .. her grace her charm her presence .. her strength in adversity .. her inspiration at times of the depress .. and ..
Maa .. the fighter .. a lioness that protected her children in the most fiercest manner ..
.. her fragrance all about ..
it was said that her students when she taught Psychology in Lahore would stand by the corridor she was to tread, just to be able to smell the fragrance of her perfume .. infectious ..
she gave us elegance and style .. camaraderie and friendship .. advice and emotion .. and battled till the very end for survival to be able to give us the best even when she was in desperate medical condition ..
she gave us a Mother .. a Mother she never had due to her early passing when Ma was just about born .. but her instincts remained with her always and they were exercised with perfection ..
I refrain from any more here .. it is her day tomorrow and all the tomorrows that exist .. eternally and forever ..

Aug 11 .. birthday of our loveliest Smiley .. Ef Poonam Bhuwalka from Kolkata .. love and happiness to you .. and the wishes of goodness ever .. remain strong , remain your kind affectionate self .. and always keep smiling 😊 .. 🌷🏵️🌿
Birthday - EF - Poonam Bhuwalka.. Thursday, 11 August ..
so .. just could not draw myself away from the game being played by contestants that were the invitees from the KBC Play Along .. and what a surprise we had .. simply brilliant their performances and the hidden talen that our country possesses ..
so .. I urge you to forget the previous Blog and even though it is late, it is never too late for the Blog for the Ef .. they are eternal ..
bombarding you with pictures first and then maybe if there is enough non sleep left in me the address for the text shall be a bit more informative ..
no those are not my nails .. !!!!
so .. yes the shoes are an eye sore I do understand but the toe that had been fractured healed , but still has a mind of its own and continues to seek attention .. the tight shoes normally tuned as formals .. have been abandoned .. and these soft toed ones are now the wear .. bit odd to look at but they provide restful coverage to the affected part , are of a brand with a bit of fame and provides a peculiar flexibility in the movements of mobility with some ease ..
so .. the other problem is the hamstring .. which is old legacy .. well what isn’t in my body .. but yes it is an old legacy and each time there is excessive stress or its abstract usage it demands attention .. so I physio it, gun it , stretch it with docs of eminence and limp along to work and back ..
yes .. all this draws attention from well wishers .. and their concern is humbling .. but its alright .. some conditions shall not change and these present ones are beyond repair .. just as is the rotor of the left shoulder which torn off during another action sequence sometime back .. the ham is from an alien action sequence, a couple of months ago and a bit of it from the ‘snows of Kilimanjaro’ .. !!!
naah .. !! just kidding
it was from the snow .. but no where near Kilimanjaro .. but pretty close to the region of excess in the western climes of Europe ..
now as we come to the descriptive end of my medical report , may we switch sides and talk of something else ..
and that something else is .. 💤
hahahaha haa .. GN

🧡 ,
Aug 9 .. birthday of Ef Bhagyashree Kolangde .. Ef Bhopal .. and Ef Kunal .. wishes of love and happiness and peace and safety .. from your Ef .. 🏵️🏵️🏵️🌿
.. there was a lot more to say .. and think and re align and just be in the element that draws the inspect of many .. but then .. the schedule of the work at hand came in the way and all rested by the pavement in covered clothing whatever best could be obtained in these wet climes ..
what is heard and insisted upon comes in the waves of not much belief and believing .. but it comes and in all honesty the desire to believe gets more prominent than any else .. and that is what is taught to us in life ..
so as you draft through the pages of those that communicate and are in the believed category bring up expressions that perhaps propels one to the ultimate exalted exhilaration .. the spirits rise as does much else and the world begins to look less desolate and shrill ..
“ firstly, do not wound a cornered foe if one cannot finish them off ; secondly, power is most powerful when not exercised ; thirdly, roar in strength when threatened ..”
with all of course, there is a certain limitation in comparison to many others .. but the general verdict predicts the obvious above ..
and the shoes are not a fashion statement .. the toe that was fractured had healed after the ‘buddy bonding medical treatment’ was exercised and inspected, with the discovery that the toe had not aligned itself in the repair .. but since it was the toe - an element that is hardly ever noticed , it was decided to leave it as it is ..
fine .. but the declaration that nothing more could or would happen to it, defeated itself and the fracture did not return but the condition of a fracture did .. and since the crunched shoes that bring the fingers of the oft forgotten feet, together in unison, it was presenting itself in the adjectives verbs adverbs of what is generally construed with a simple excruciating verbiage often addressed as 😤 😰 ..
.. got it ..
so the soft toed shoe was brought into prominence and displayed under the trousers that be seen in some of the longer shot pictures ..
AND .. the limp is still exercising its notice , because the action work in the hydes of hyder snapped the whatchmacallit under the thigh , matching the wordage of the eatable ‘ham’ ..
which I am told at this bright old age, be best forgotten, because there really is no relief or cure for it ..
having thus brought on a huge cache of sympathetic ‘comments’ from the devoted Ef, I shall depart to the warmer climes of my duvet ..
au revoir ..

Aug 7 .. birthday wishes to Ef Krishna Kumar and Ef One Narges ..
Ef Sameer Khare from Nashik .. happy birthday to you for Aug 5 ..
Love and happiness to all .. 🏵️🏵️🏵️🌿
✨
love and greetings to all and the care and safety .. from the Ef ..
and to begin with a small correction , that has been pointed out to me ..
.. the picture .. actually .. isn’t shown in a “hair dressing salon” 🙈 .. it’s shown in the LOUVRE MUSEUM OF PARIS .. World’s largest Museum .. and the Home of some of the best-known works of art .. including the Mona Lisa ..
.. the picture is displayed on the wall of portraits by Harcourt Studio .. one of the renowned and luxurious studios of photography in France .. situated at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris ..
Harcourt Studio has launched a Photo Booth there at the entry of the Louvre Museum ..
The portrait shown on the board .. was shot by Harcourt in the year 2009 .. when I was invited for the opening of one of the events at the newly opened structure , which has all its pipes running outside the building .. forget its name .. for purists a most damaging architectural deed, especially in the city of Paris, renowned for its architectural glory and magnificence .. but then trust the French to do things differently .. the reaction to the glass pyramid build in the open courtyard of the LOUVRE, had equal amount of dislike by the purists and it took a while before it was finally accepted .. as an element of modern art or modern expression ..
… ahhh , got the name of the structure .. its
Centre Pompidou , Paris, France .. An “inside out” building in the historical centre of Paris, featuring Europe’s largest modern art museum.
punch in the name on the Goog and find some amazing pictures of the modern art museum .. and this was where the pic of moi was put up ..
.. and it has been a few days of emotional and amazing collects from the Social Media when Ef have put up pictures of letters written by Babuji to friends .. one of them informing the friend of Babuji’s decision to get married to Ma .. and later on written to announce my birth .. its dated 1942 .. !!
And there is so much the desire to get the originals .. working on it ..
… but there is so much to work on and do , and ne’er the time or the dedicated time to attend to them .. in particular the work to be done on Babuji .. and am at a loss of how to go about it ..
.. his poetry to be recited to be put to music to be put to film and video ..
his thesis on WB Yeats for the literary world .. to be read out and put in audio form ..
his translations of various poets and poetries of other countries ..
his own translated works of the tragedies of Shakespeare in the graph and style of the bard but in Hindi, the first of its kind ..
his rendering of the Bhagwad Gita in the translate language of the Tulsidas Ramayan , called JanGita .. and the desire to put it to music .. another first of its kind ..
and then to be able to do justice to this .. to find the dedicated time people and venue for its compiling and documenting .. a final finality for posterity , for the World of the written word , for the people who have read remembered and admired his works ..
it has been painful each day to think of this and have no answers ..
answers to birthday reminders wedding reminders anniversary reminders, autograph hunters, selfie insisters .. and many more in acknowledge demands
but Babuji .. ??
Alright no more laments ..
just prayers .. for all .. for peace and calm ..

Aug 6 .. birthday of my artist Ef Pawan Pipalwa .. wishes to you , Prabhu .. happiness ever .. and the admiration for your art of wonder ajooba 🎨 .. 🏵️
One of the constants of life is continuity .. to continue to survive .. to continue to struggle .. to continue to face the odds .. to continue to absorb failure .. to continue to set aside success .. to continue to expect the harmony we all strive for .. to continue to continue ..
.. and that is continuity ..
I shall continue .. I shall continue to continue .. and the bravado , the self registration of swagger and bluster not withstanding .. for when it has been detailed, it has been met with a bucket of cold iced water over the braggadocio
.. so help me God !
so it has been one of those days when routine has been run over and continuity has suffered a colossal damage .. it is now well past the routine rest and slumber time and the charm and connect with the Ef has taken precedence .. willingly without any encumbrances and reserve ..
work uplifts the spirit of the connect and in the presence of the mass, it has been ever the most satisfying experience ..
.. the roar of recognition and love is a memory chip of the highest worth .. or as they would say in the tech .. the highest GB or TB .. on a HD of immense capacity ..
I do hope you are realising the great knowledge of the tech lingo that I now am able to disclose to the Ef, knowing fully well, that most of the Ef already are conversant with what I am feeling slightly elusive about .. slippery and on 🤣🤣🤣
it is gradually warming up at the turnstiles and we hope that by the Sunday when the first glimpse of this season comes on air there shall be shock and reserve and a glimpse of your appreciation , even if it not warranted ..
ok ..?
understood .. ?
fine .. so we move on ..
GN and love
there is a tomorrow and another tomorrow ..
and the continuity continues ..
my love does too .. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Birthday - EF - Roepa Mahabiersing .. Vinit Joshi .. Vineet Chaudhary .. Friday, 5 August .. many wishes for all and to be safe and prosperous in all you do .. love the Ef ..
Still stuck for time and schedule for the Blog .. but the matter is concise and short but filled with the love and affection of the writer ..
.. had to reluctantly distantly attend the PC for KBC .. and one of the questions came up about why I had mentioned never do it again and yet landing up doing it or some such words in a past Blog ..
so the query was why do you want to stop doing KBC and yet come back again .. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ..
quite obviously as in many other cases they got it all wrong .. it was obviously not for KBC , it was for the hair that gets stuck to my face for the films’ make up .. , and I swear I never will do another film with hair stuck to my chin face moustache and yet end up doing it ..
kuch bhi .. 🤪🤣🤣
ok off to rest .. have to finish backing up the comp and reducing the load on the HD .. hehehe .. sounding pretty officious ain’t I .. as the Brits would say ..
see ya .. as the yanks would say ..
phir milenge .. as we would say
