Day 1167
Jalsa , Mumbai June 29/30 , 2011 Wed/ Thu 12:17 AM
शब्द ही के
बीच में दिन-रात बसता हुआ
उनकी शक्ति से , सामर्थ्य से -
अक्षर -
अपरिचित मैं नहीं हूँ .
किन्तु , सुन लो ,
शब्द की भी ,
जिस तरह संसार में हर एक की ,
कमज़ोरियां, मजबूरियाँ हैं -
शब्द सबलों की
सफल तलवार है तो
शब्द निबलों की
नपुंसक ढाल भी है .
साथ ही यह भी समझ लो ,
जीभ को जब – जब
भुजा का...
Day 1164
Sopaan , New Delhi June 26/27 , 2011 Sun/Mon 12:47 AM
Sleep deprived at 6 am in the morning, trudging off to the airport at that hour, heavy on head, light on the traffic and muggy in the terminal, there is but just one occupation after the seat belt sign is turned on, the safety instructions played and the taxi off begins – Slumberrrr...

I am begging to be excused tonight. I am due to be up in another 3 hours and there is a very busy schedule as I land in Delhi … one media after another.

Jalsa , Mumbai June 23 , 2011 Thu 11:54 PM
I had driven to the premier of ‘Deewar’ at the Minerva Cinema and on reaching the location was greeted by the loudest cheer I had ever heard in my short public career ! That was in the 70′s.
I walked out today from the Cinemax Theatre at Andheri after a press conference to release the ‘go meera...
Day 1160
Jalsa , Mumbai June 22, 2011 Wed 11: 47 PM
Where to begin and what to say. It has been a day of walking in a drift, a wind, flowing fast moving clouds speeding past, people, there but not there. Faces … many of them smiling and appreciative and blessing and congratulating. Many greetings from sources one could never imagine, friends, well...

I am exhausted !! A zombie now, capable of only uttering repeat questions on #BHTBaap ! The intensity of press meets now are almost bizarre. On one location, within the confines of a club at the Marriott bunched up electronic and print media...
Day 1155
Jalsa , Mumbai June 17/18 , 2011 Fri/Sat 1 : 26 AM
An entire day with the print media depleted all the vacant energy that I may have stored up, but coming home to witness the ‘Sa re Ga Ma’ Li’l Champs show on Zee Tv just reinvigorated all that I had lost. What talent and what an amazing bunch of little kids,...
Day 1154
Jalsa , Mumbai June 16, 2011 Thu 11 : 09 PM
The promo shoot for the song done by Abhishek and me over .. and now we wait to see the results of it in the final print. Monitors on set can be so misleading at times. They are a good reference point, immediate and convenient, but the sense of color, expanse and detail can never be...

What a day ! Up at 6 to get to work and have just finished. Not at all surprised at the course taken, because we were meant to earn our living through sweat and tears. Tears remained distant, the sweat alive pertinent and deserving !!

Jalsa , Mumbai June 13/14, 2011 Mon/Tue 12 : 56 AM
Life has become a ‘promotional travel tour’ .. one minute in one city the other in another city and talking on subjects and topics already done to death the first time around ! But such is the nature of the business these days that if not done can spell sufficient...
Day 1150
Jalsa , Mumbai June 12 , 2011 Sun 11 : 34 PM
Inspired by the lasting words of two great poets Browning and Tennyson, my Father in a moment of despair in his life, quotes them in his autobiography :
” I was ever a fighter, so – one fight more,
…..and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven,...

Jalsa , Mumbai June 11, 2011 Sat 11 : 59 PM
Amidst the pouring rains from early morning and the flooded streets of the city, particularly so in the JVPD Scheme, where I live, I have managed to have survived an entire day. Watching the water grow dangerously close to the insides of the house, Prateeksha. The road in front...

There are days when the mind falls blank, without vision and motive. There are days when you are able to realize that the day is near, and at times when not so near. But there are days when you are neither here or there. Here could be right here, this moment. There could be...

Finished the Tv series ‘The Kenneddy’s’ and I cannot tell you how desperately I did not want it to end. There is something about this name and family that has a mesmerizing effect on all. At least me for sure. The magnitude of their ambition, the dogged...
