DAY 2358
Jalsa, Mumbai Sept 29/30, 2014 Mon/Tue 12:44 am
Birthday for the 30th : Disha Agarwal … greetings and love from all of us .. have a wonderful day .
And so among the throngs that greet and those that anxiously desire that one photograph, one walks amidst the congested ‘bodies’ that call themselves the other half, 'the guard’. There is swiftness in pace, leaving behind those that may not keep up .. the lady that checks you into the aircraft shifts among the generous body of people and gesticulates to her colleague for that picture, even though the x-rayed counter for validity of boarding pass is ignored - or just about ..
The seats are fine and so is the stack of newspapers, both local and non local, that headline last nights performance. Most generous of them to do so, and we are obliged for it. Soon, as the heights are climbed the wind cold of the conditioning gets you to the blue call bell, for a blanket. Hurriedly it is spread across and the reclined seats become your shut eye for those 2 hours to Mumbai …
But before that a swift road drive through the city of Raipur to another sister city being built - Naya Raipur. The development is classic and neat and modern and huge. Miles and miles of empty highways, well constructed and with ample space not just for the present but with the advent of the colonies that shall arise along these pathways … so impressive.
Along with this of course is the history of Raipur and the region, filled now with some of the most valuable assets - gold, diamond, rice and the culture and the arts of the tribal Bastar’s. They have a unique style of metal art work and I am gifted many, which I shall photograph and put up in time..
One of the advantages of n empty seat next to you on a flight is the sanctity of your independence - no breakfast, no magazines, no soft drinks just before take off, no smoking, attention to the safety drill and then …
Vinod Chopra produces the first shot of the film we do together, directed by Bijoy Nambiar, with Farhan Akhtar and Aditi Rao .. and as per tradition the first day and its shots are never to anyone’s satisfaction. We are no better.
On an announcement by the home it is a quick dinner, a time to ponder nd under the duvet … !!
But what does the mind play ?
The mind plays mostly of the merits of the show at Raipur - the Kbc at Raipur - and the fear of coming out tasty and clear of any disappointment … not to mention the time spent on the script readings for Vinod’s film, which is rather good, but now as the camera’s whir … oh you do not hear them whirr now a days … the digital quotient takes care of all that ..
Loaded and somewhat exhausted by these multiple tasks, all one needs is a quiet, peaceful home, but instead one gets drawn up immediately in the issues of domesticity, of staff and behaviour, of unruly others and suddenly you realise you are home and that is the best sound to hear … !!
I tire now ..
I good night you all and to myself I say … it’s another day gone by and …
My love
Amitabh Bachchan
