Rajeev Sharma 21 June … for today many happy returns of the day to you .. have a lovely year and years to come …
Ashwini 22 June : And happy birthday Ashwini, for the 22nd .. actually it has already come on my post so happy birthday for today … love and happiness always ..
The devastation caused by the floods in Uttarakhand, reveal each day the horror of the scene. The dead figure rises each moment as rescue continues. It has gone beyond 500 and still there are many missing. The tragedy is immense ! We can only pray, can only extend our moral support, and contribute to the economics that shall be required to resettle all those that have suffered and lost all …
I did say a few words for them on my Vog, which was put up on my FaceBook account, with a video … do visit it …
Meanwhile here in the city the rains have taken a short break. The sun is still not visible, the clouds thunder each moment and now and then the showers come down. A lot more shall happen in the days to come, but then this is what the entire region waits and hopes for. It is the source of all produce and so many other factors linked to it. It is a lifeline to many. May their lives be filled with the ecstasy of joy and happiness, and may they prosper ever, in good health and in good condition.
Work at the sets of our serial recording, continues. It is exciting and filled with a certain degree of challenge. Many outside wonder what it is all about, and outside in the media some enthusiastic players have described the possible story. Quite obviously, everyone has their own version of the facts … but the fact really is that their facts are still too far away from the facts, for, the fact of the matter is that the facts are still unknown … even to me !!
It is the 21 st of June today and by the UN standards it has been declared Music Day. There are festivals of music from all continents and classes, from all different kinds of music .. and there is the listener that devoutly attends these creative excelled moments .. without any restrictions at all …
It is also the Longest Day of the year - 21 st June. The Earth tilts from its axis on this day getting the Northern Hemisphere tilting closer to the sun. The opposite occurs in the Southern.
Longest Day, always brings back memories of that incredible film by the same title. It was the day of the most important and forceful attack on the Germans by the allied forces, during WW II. Just the magnitude of the visuals at a time when digital and special effects were not invented perhaps, is truly remarkable. And not to mention the star cast. Almost everyone in the Western cinema world that had a prominent name was in the film, and I felt that it was done more to document the fact that they were indeed part of history remade ….
I saw the film when it was first released in India. I was a college student at the Delhi University, and remember the Connaught Place movie hall where we all had gone to see the film .. what an experience … and what production !!
Time wise I improve from today .. and I hope it remains so … and I do look forward to the morrow … it has a late call on set .. yippeee … more time in bed and more time to perhaps interact with all of you ..
Good night .. and do put in a small prayer for those that suffer the flood in Uttarakhand ..
Amitabh BachchanAny thoughts on my new ‘shades’ ..??
