We all have seen him, heard him ,but ,i doubt, if most of us have read him, I am talking about Mr Amitabh bachchan,the star of the millennium.its been some 6 months when he picked up blogging at BigAdda and is blogging big time day by day.So many stars started their blog in recent years, most of them for promotion of their movies only (nothing wrong in that) and to give a notion that they want to be in touch with the public, how i wish that was true ?
Two months back , luckily I got introduced to Mr Bachchan's Blog (http://bigb.bigadda.com/),read it and felt overwhelmed, joyous, proud and yes of course connected to him through his posts.No doubt , his writing is lucid , emotional,inspirational,honest,down to earth, bold and beautiful and definitely reflects a glimpse of his great father, Mr Harivansh Roy Bachchan.Like millions of his fans, I always loved Amitabh bachchan, the actor, but now, as i religiously read his daily posts,am developing a great sense of respect for him.Its really amazing that in this age (read 66) , he still has a vigour, enthusiasm ,determination and a very positive attitude towards his work and life, obviously he has nothing more to achieve ,and hence rightly so , trying out radically different genres and roles with mixed results.
Coming back to his writing, first thing i liked the web page of his blog, very aesthetic theme and color composition,Blog opens with a larger than life picture of Big B (which keeps on updating time to time),and a very sweet line from one of the writings of his legendary father. He writes without unnecessarily showing any mastery on language or any tantrums of a STAR but pens down very casually .....rather naturally , elucidating very mundane experiences on his sets , expresses his view on life and happening around the globe, whether its Obama's election, 26/11, Indian's historic win against England or any other news of common man's interest. And there lies a trick , he simply passes some words of wisdom , a soulful insight on the life, or some very important tips for everyone , in those trivial and casually appearing articles, and , that's the beauty of his writing.
When I started visiting the blog , I was a bit apprehensive with its authenticity ,and can still not guarantee for the same, but as i read more and more , posts looked consistent , sensible and definitely written by someone with loads of experience and amazing personality and i believe its BigB himself, and within just 2 months i have become an avid fan of his writing style too , it daily comes in small doses and is quite nutritious to me at least , most of the times i could relate to his articles, feelings and his experience's. If you start reading the blog (.. if you at all) , initially, it might appear to be a diary of day-to-day work of Mr Bachchan, but mind you it could be a great supplement for one's soul , a gentle guide or an energy booster for so many of us and if nothing at least it deserves to be read for its simplicity and beauty.
