DAY 1883
Jalsa, Mumbai June 11/12, 2013 Tue/Wed 1 : 36 am
I spent sometime to write a verse,
The oddities of Blog lost it … a curse
I am devoid of much to say,
The heart I had poured, of my daily day ..
There is a story put, on FB now,
Which talks of wonders, on where and how ..
Do visit it and tell me thought,
What you derive, sustained and got …
The Kokilaben Ambani Hospital here has been taken up as a project by National Geographic to include it in their programme INSIDE ..
They wanted me to give voice to it. After several days of work on it, this morning it got completed. The Hospital, because it belongs to a friend has a long history of my involvement. It was the dream of a most famous and excellent heart specialist Dr Mandke, who was a prominent name here in Maharashtra. Ironically the heart Institute that he wanted to build was structurally half done when he suddenly passed away at a very young age, through a heart attack. Ironic, because the one who gave a new life by curing others’ hearts, died of it himself, without any history or warning ..
His wife, herself a doctor and a keen participant in the concept of the Hospital, came to me one morning and wished me to speak to my friend Mr Anil Ambani, if he could help in finishing the dream of her husband. I spoke, we met, we considered and the Kokilaben Hospital named after Anil’s Mother was inaugurated some years ago ..
It is now considered to be one of the best Hospitals in the region and in the world, with state of the art facilities and the best team of doctors and the latest technology ..
It was a revelation to discover the intricacies of the interiors and what happens inside one such institute.
If you ever get a chance do visit the channel on National Geographic to find out its qualities. And yes the voice over for the documentary has been done by me ..
My love
Amitabh Bachchan
