sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry .. SOOOO RRRR YYYYYY
missed this one 👇
💚 ,
May 24 .. birthday .. Ef Yogesh Sharma .. Ef Manish Bhattacharya from Raigarh .. Ef Paresh Sananse from Jalgaon ..
.. love to all and the prayers ever for happiness and peace .. 🌿
Birthday Ef - Aish TVM ( corrected birthday, was 21st before )Tuesday, May 24 .. and the wishes of the entire Ef brigade for your happiness .. love ❤️
12 films and 2 promotional films with time spent on the correction of the text and script .. yet, an end by 3 pm .. also a photoshoot in between .. and the director moves up with an expectant sad face to say ..
“ ye to bahut jaldi khatam ho gaya - ये तो बहुत जल्दी ख़तम हो गया , we wanted it to continue further ..”
no lunch break, so a wrapped up roll in the car on the drive back and Project 35 on Bluetooth speakers of the Range ..
the soul lingering from the outpourings of the night before and many of the Ef that seldom come in personally, do express an experienced gratitude .. the soul .. it remains the same in each human .. as red is the red of blood in them ..
.. but the inspired strain that captures all imagination, keeps breathing in your lungs and releases the beholden harmonic waves of its romance within ..
not without , within .. without, it would receive defeat and elimination .. a discard that could provoke the deepest depression, in the most vibrant of surroundings .. celebrations around , but the soul in its damaged cage seeking an exit to the free ..
to be or not to be of Shakespeare ‘s Hamlet soliloquy in its monologue, to himself almost, in its Russian interpretation .. a crowded celebrated palace of revelling courtiers and the Prince Hamlet moving within them in his most reverential, idiosyncratic solitude , whispering aloud within .. that is the question ..
that creativity required belief of substance .. of a mind that seemed troubled himself, to have imagined the pain , even in the most bizarre crowded gaiety ..
some efforts reek of ingenious raindrops that fall unevenly upon you .. uneven, for if they were even, the debate, the dispute of creativity would be a fallen tree, that bore the brunt of the discursive elements venturing surreptitiously in .. when the body wants out ..
away and out .. out of discourse in mundane environs .. the sweetest saccharine d verb adjacent to the adjective in grammatical error ..
be off away ..
it shall take a while for all of them to be downloaded .. and I do sincerely apologise for this .. but a picture speaks mountains .. you need to climb it ..
thats all ..

May 23rd .. birthday of Ef AMIT Ladva from Ahmedabad .. greetings and happiness .. 🌿
Association .. an amalgamation , a rare consociation , sodality .. a feature often linked with religious confabulations of faith .. but faith too in mind of an amalgamated creative mind and thought ..
when it does not extend its arms in wilful embrace of togetherness .. a togetherness that resounds with the fibre of each pore .. then rest with the greatest and most resounding option of , the self ..
My self .. is mine , bound and fortified within the walls of that palpitating element within the four compartments receiving and irrigating the rest of this system of life and living .. what it receives in its circulation it sets its out in equal .. the sound of the flushing through the valves and veins and other delivery elements in a rhythm that equates with the sound of music ..
Listen to it ..
the sonography with the electrodes stuck like leaches to most portions of the body .. sonography - sono - relating to sound , within .. and without, the thump of the beat , a respectable average of 72 giving indication that the music is, acceptable .. and live ..
That is the be all and end all of all music .. the music of the soul, the spiritual, immaterial part of all human life, considered immortal, the emotional presence, with an identity .. the music ..
the music does not alter its course .. the soul may .. and when the rhythm plays wrong, the system revolts .. that wrong note, in a philharmonic composition shall stand out among the entire philosophy of the strain , bringing irreverent discomfort ..
your personal creativity , within and without , shall ever be judged by your soul .. if it accepts .. divine .. if not, your search ends there .. do not venture out into the woods for the rarity of that planted leaf .. its a forest .. billions and trillions of the planted green .. when harmony reins, the forest and every leaf of its presence shall reverberate - that swaying branches and stems of the leafed tree in ‘Abhimaan’ pointed out by the tutor to the disciple .. listen to it .. it sings speaks the language of the soul .. the truth of the scientific innovation and exercise, that plants grow healthier to music ..
it shall be known in its immediacy, when the arms outstretched, receive the outstretched arms of the soul .. music multiplies .. abounds in the hemisphere, felt only by them that have resounded well .. when it does not get the affiliation it seeks pleadingly .. do not extend force or a hidden mutation .. it shall not happen .. store it, guard it, lock it up inside .. it shall multiply there with the greatest intensity .. unknown to all else ..
Such joy in its possession ..
Live with it .. give it ear in the solitude of your mind .. it shall reward you ..
Fact .. for many .. the rhythm you heard at the age of four, never left your soul .. never will .. stored safe .. not obvious in its presence .. but available when the lid of that ‘box’ be opened .. do not look for it .. it will come by , at opportune moment .. clean neat ironed out and laundered to the best flavoured essence ..
I breathe .. the essence of my soul .. that intrinsic indispensable quality of the abstract ..
.. and so powerful is its resound .. it waters the eye - the globular organs of sight, and wipes them clean ..
I see better now ..
and hear too ..

💚 ,
May 21 .. birthday .. Ef Aish from TVM of the Thiruvananthapuram .. Ef Gopi Sheth from the US .. love .. 🌿
.. and .. wishes to Hassan Ali from Egypt .. his birthday on May 20th .. greetings .. 🌿
.. and .. strangely .. for some unknown reason .. this birthday wish was missed .. apologies 😔🙏🏻
Ef Dr. Sunir Kumar .. Bigadda times Ef .. his birthday was on April 10th .. and we wish him happiness ..
.. the delayed wish is regretted .. but we greet you , Dr. Sunir , and send you our affection of all the Ef .. love and affection are of all time , they don’t need special occasion ..
.. 🌿
No one, but no one, can and shall be able to chime the same bells that your heart and soul do .. a song, a piece of music, a film a book a location a relationship .. nothing ..
And that be the aesthetic attractiveness of the being .. the being that carries your body and soul .. your feel your touch your beat can never be replaced by the ‘other’ .. and the tragedy of such is the palpable desecration of the creative input and output of the being ..
You would rather be aloof and in the company of the self than face the incompetent assessment of the world at large to decipher the heart and mind of its making ..
So as you drive to the long South Mumbai event in the travel of approximately 2 hrs - a time that can take you to Delhi by then - it is the strain of the created music that keeps you company .. the feel and the emotions that sit beside you are just yours .. and no one else’s .. shut them out of this refrain .. allow the repeated on loop play to reign the roadways, lights traffics selfie hunters by the side of your car all else , destroyed in the milieu of your own sentiment - the most powerful sentiment in the World ..
Yes the odd wave , a salute, a namaskaar .. but to the one that is in the deserving .. and that decide is with the owner - moi !
Autographs are redundant .. selfies galore .. and its no longer a pleasing ask .. its a mobile thrust in your face , even as you be in the confines of the wash room ..
The Commissioner of the BMC, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation , I S Chahal has written a book and its launch is a formal occasion at the Taj .. I visit for just a short while - pending work is waiting, so a quick in and out .. but the occasion does demand a public recognition as one finds the hoi polloi of the city mingling in the Ball room hall of the facility, in deep regard for this one man who took on the challenge of the virus CoViD in the city, with the smartest administrative skills seen in recent times .. absolute genius at work .. and my good fortune and honour to have worked with him during the medical crisis of the pandemic, to witness the massive work intensive methodology at fruition .. the recognition in the overseas destinations a bigger feather in his cap , well decorated already, though the overseas commendation does not compare with the fresh vibrant and most renowned actions in house .. his planning execution and courage during the crisis an endeavour that needs to be exampled in the entire World .. the book is out .. IQBAL SINGH CHAHAL, CoviD Warrior and they could not have chosen a more suitable and apt title ..
There have always been ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ about the service administrative echelons in the country .. or rather any country .. but this is unique .. a rare personality .. a rare working system .. a rare human ..
May he continue to hoist the management flag to its peak, ever ..
I shall retire then, and be in the knowing by the morrow .. till then be in safe precaution .. in love and in the wellness of all ..
Amitabh Bachchan , still smiling at the acts of people who meet at gatherings and glimmer - more than Deepika’s Red Carpet sari at Cannes

💚 ,
May 20 .. birthday of Ef Sanjay Joshi ,, and Ef Heba from Egypt .. love ever and the wishes of happiness , peace and fulfilment .. 🌿
the director of the Gujarati film , for which a small guest appearance was done the other day .. this be his real hair .. grew it he says for 14 years ..
how do they manage it .. worth a thesis ..
alternatives .. every where .. easy to access and in a region where the necessary element does not take the effort of getting up and moving but to remain the reach of your hand .. stretched to its limit , thats it ..
the fresh new formula for the 80 year old .. when needed it should be in the vicinity .. so .. the duplication often not understood by many is the convenience of those that have the grace of ageing till now .. the right kind of pen, the tissue box, the intercom phone, that schedule paper, the mobile charger, the garbage bag, the printer, the shredder , the time piece , needed glasses , the stationary elements - paper envelopes cards , stapler, cutter , envelop opener , the speaker on remote bluetooth , post its, …. et al ..
where the sitting occurs .. the similar routine .. where the car travels occur , similar .. in the Vanity the similar also .. on set the aide equipped with similar .. similarity is the contention of the world now .. in familiarity ..
and the Apple Watch dog now even tells you to stand up for you have been sitting for long .. what next ..
shut up you are talking too much .. or the kind ..
aaah .. yes important element - shoe horn .. wherever there be shoes one must .. bending down to lace up or push that heel into the sneaker now an obstacle, which may be resolved now with the horn , long enough to be able to stand and wear the foot wear ..
a bit boring and uninteresting this .. but they that suffer the same symptoms as the 80 yr old , then there is empathy ..
and that is not all .. there is the comfort of various situations where the aged travel or pass by .. the simple attention given .. grips in the shower area .. matts on the floor so you do not slip .. towels within reach ..
funny is it not .. the GenX in the Ef are in the extreme hilarity .. they should be for they are right … in my time we were right too, to extend surprise and smirk at the developments that prevailed or are prevailing now in this missive ..
SO ..
finally what this is coming to is the ..
CLUTTERED desk, room and all ..
and the clutter is the ultimate recognition of the process of ageing .. if it cannot be seen it will not be used ..

जूता चप्पल उतार के ,
बैठे हैं पलती मार के
… a work for a friend .. a gesture .. no questions asked , no replies given , just the work done and over ..
and there are some more pictures in the bank for today .. but they shall wait .. wait for it to be in the proper day date style appearance ..
soon I hope ..
the fragrance of a wait is quite intoxicating .. when will it come , how will it come , when it comes how does one react to it , does it favour , does it not ..
What ..??
shall have to wait till it has the capacity to be in the presence .. the wait at times is fortuitous , at times tormenting .. the patient wait though can be promising and filled with the passion of its happening .. time builds the passion and desire to meet and be resolved .. but the heads that head the leaders of the work, have other designs , and fortunately or unfortunately they are the ones that lead .. lead us all the way ..
projects are ending rapidly .. good .. but the aftermath is the issue .. the withdrawal syndrome .. the absence of any detail on the complex chemical combustion of the product .. the scenario , as in all Industries and Corporates, bells the imminent change of colour .. change is apparent , but many wonder what will it be .. que sera sera !!
stop the World, I want to get off , was an effervescent lingo with the Univ crowd .. that and ‘killer shiller diller ‘ .. for the one with the swag in College .. primarily who wore Wrangler jeans - a complete rarity - and carried his College note book in his back pocket .. not a care in the World, and not a care for the attendance to Class .. just a bold and strong appearance in the College coffee joint .. the seniors bullying the new comer .. and the diligent manner in which the fresher would be in obedience .. for the next year he shall be in that chair of importance , that ran the ‘business’ - the business of ragging .. made a man out of you .. !!
but now its all prohibited , is it not .. its a whimper now as you enter the premises of the College .. a fast and effective drive towards education ..
after all , that is what we all aspire for do we not ..?
and the online education per kind courtesy the virus , has flourished in leaps and bounds .. simple .. get the business .. the commercial business . the other would threaten the dramatis personae .. to be able to put together that which is valuable content ..
a relatively quiet day .. with the gifts from the Himalayas, part of your history Jaya, to the earth of the soil ..
this loads of information being documented for live .. shall return ..
My love to all

.. and gone .. the entire Blog of the Day .. written with great passion and length and went to search for the sign off and they signed me off ..
Dejected and disappointed .. so the realise that when in drooping eyelids slumber .. drop everything and jump into the duvet ..

Jalsa, Mumbai May 17/18, 2022 Tue/Wed 1: 41 AM
It is not enough in the times of the day, to be in the know of the work that is to be done but also to be technically proficient enough to guide and direct the tone to the level it be understood ..
The musician be not just in the know of his craft as a musician .. but also in the task of knowing the technical aspects of music making .. the computer generated notes and their upkeep ..
Life is not different ..
Live it and ye shall see ..
astounding how the mind of the creatives work ..

DAY 5206
Jalsa, Mumbai May 16, 2022 Mon 11:38 PM
Speculations and the art of misguided information merely to fill content and excite without reason ..
The onus of the fear and the flight of the one that represents the figure that seeps into the atmosphere of those that see and figure has been unfurled from the pedestal of the majestic mast it once stood on its ungainly height of supremacy .. the ultimate supremacy, of the know alls and the be alls ..
The wall crumbleth to disdain and unimportant wayside dust paves of the streets that once embellished with their show of grandeur and flag bearing prominence ..
The wheels turn with the turn of fate events and the science of technology .. and the wonder of what may remain in store for the time to come ..
Those that sit on the themes that shall guide and address the generations to come shall ever be in wonder .. for what transpired in the past few years overtook that which had been in existence for centuries .. and perhaps that shall be the form of life and living in the measure of existence ..
For once the feared and filled with trepidation shall be in reverse .. turn around run backwards to assemble any and any object of that which could bring notice .. the fillers are imbecilic , one that yearns notice but knows that the speed of the normal once desolate shall be before them and in the largest numerical ..
Whoever did imagine or dream that the trot that galloped to the finish shall now be in the canter backwards in step with the many others , competing to still keep their heads above the waters ..
Dear o’ dear ..
To be in the strength of they .. to be in the reticent .. to be in consider .. to be in rejection and to be in unimportant them .. is the delight that has been yearned .. somewhere then the thought and the thinking of the times then was right in its earnest .. the tools were made manufactured for them .. they manufacture them still, but the shine and the gloss has rusted and filled with the moss of disintegration ..
flores para los muertos ..
yes the ventures of the medical were done and in good time and result .. the boost for the arm was indicative of the ‘.. shield’ punctured .. an average degree of satisfaction observed and a formality of goodness prevailed ..
Some came concerned to the lunch table, others felt informed of the rash incorrectness in distant regions of the Himalayas .. corrected and assured of their tolerance and regaled in their righteous belief ..
So help me God ..
Realities faced can be balanced if the scales are in non corrupt state .. the measure of the balance has ever been the standard of measure for ages .. that metal arrow that swings either way on the weight of the pans containing the product of purchase, and on the other the weights in lbs or whatever the seller felt necessary to justify .. and that was the token of justice .. its emblem in the courts of law with the lady in black, blindfolded signifying justice ..
That lady be blind .. but the balance or the ‘taraazu’ taken as justice justified be without .. the dictation of the order passed be the law of the ultimate .. would it be so for the balance , the ‘taraazu’ ..
Did it ever occur just as justice is in the dependence of witness, that the balance be in its justified correctness ..a twist a turn a pre adjusted metal arrow .. a feather difference in the balance weights .. and the buyer be bought !
We live in the believe that the balance is beyond corrupt .. but justified by whom - they that built its form ..
They that did .. did master .. and do master ever .. for behind every success there is a master .. and behind every master another master ..
and another and another and another …
I breathe work in the morn with voice .. for the orange land
and I bid thee in the morn of tomorrow with the embrace of love and care ..

May 16th .. birthday of Ef Debelina De from Kolkata .. greetings , Debelina .. for long you’re out of connect .. but we remember you and wish you on your special day all the happiness and goodness of life .. be safe .. from your Ef .. 🌿
No arguments .. no debates .. no tempers .. no clash of opinions .. just still and quiet .. some days till the begin of June ..
astrological demands from astrological Ef ..
But work continues and may it ever ..
There is anxious enquiry about SATG .. they see many gathered about .. but I tell them its not the SATG .. its the Sunday when those that do not have access to fresh air and open corridors come to the beach to relax be with the family and take in the sea waves ..
Once the authorities give the permission there shall be the meets at the gate .. and I do feel that the time is not far when it shall happen .. though there are cases of a relapse in some friends and they are in repeat ..
So be safe and guarded and in good fettle .. my prayers ever ..
The greatest joys are the ones that we possess in the confines of ourselves .. inside the body of the self and that is the most satisfying .. so when you get to Saptaswar, and begin a random create, it is quite amazing how the flow of the need just reverberates .. and there .. its done .. happy and in fun and in the pleasure of the creative being well constructed ..
Soon hopefully it shall be known and seen ..
Much of the personal madness and the results of it , have been set aside for the personal .. never coming out at all .. too embarrassed to even think such .. I shall, I will , be with it in my own ..
OK .. of tomorrow early to get the ‘booster’ dosage and the ‘stress tests’ .. so good the night ..🌹
My love
Amitabh Bachchan
