AB’s baby’s day out!



The whole nation waits and speculations of a girl or a boy are over as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan delivered a baby girl on November 16, 2011 at the private Seven Hills Hospital, in the western Mumbai suburb of Andheri.

Intense, dominating, and energetic – her vital force overwhelm those around her. She will have a keen intellect and admirable qualities of patience and creativity. She will definitely not be the gregarious, social kind, always ready to please people.

She will have an inner strength and a great capacity to endure hardships. She will be dynamic, fascinating and often mysterious - a combination that will draw many towards her.

Why Amitabh won't share Beti B's pictures


Why Amitabh won't share Beti B's pictures

It's a family time for the Bachchans, as they are cherishing each moment with the little baby, and shooting videos of her. When fans asked Amitabh Bachchan to share pictures and videos, he said he would not.



'Shooting 3D camera stills and movie of the 'little one' .. Amazing ! Child is the Father of man .. Never had this at my birth !!!Many asking for the picture of the baby ..I am afraid that is not going to happen ... too personal .. you will understand ..thank you,' he tweeted.

He praised the media for emphasizing on Aishwarya's normal delivery. 'A word of appreciation too, to the print media for highlighting a few salient points .. our joy in welcoming the girl child and emphasizing the commendable desire of Aishwarya in having a normal delivery without any epidural or pain killers. The often coined phrase ' too posh to push' was put to rest in her case .. she was determined to do it the way she felt was correct!' he wrote.

Dad Abhishek invites name suggestions on Twitter

So finally we have a name for the newest entrant in the Bachchan family - 'Beti B'.


Yes after Big B, Jr B we now have a 'Beti B' and the name has been anointed by none other than the father himself.

Abhishek Bachchan can hardly contain the happiness of donning the new role of that of a father and he readily accepted this name suggested to him by a friend on twitter.

"And till we find a name for the little lady a dear friend @ShahanaGoswami gave me a great one."

He is also going all out interacting with fans and asking for name suggestions, he tweeted: "And suggestions for names are very welcome guys. Something with "A".

Relative, friends and fans have been suggesting many likely names for the new baby.

Voracious social networker and Aishwarya Rai's father-in-law, Amitabh Bachchan acknowledged all suggestions for names for the infant sent in by fans, saying "some of them really good ... will run it by the parents .. !!"

Amitabh Bachchan also refers her as 'little one' in all his blog and tweets.

The news of Aishwarya's baby has generated more interest than any other in the past few days. Morphed photographs of the mother and baby were doing the rounds.

But Amitabh Bachchan has put all that to rest and said that the pictures were all fake.

The family is now preparing and eagerly waiting for the mother and daughter to come home.


Amitabh wrote "T 565 - Difficult to tear yourself away from the 'little one' , but now home to replay videos and stills and wait for her to come home ..!"

Amitabh Bachchan also revealed more details of the birth of his granddaughter on twitter and his official blog.

He clarified contrary to what was reported by media that Ash did not go for C-section. Aishwarya opted to have a normal delivery, without epidural or painkillers.

This news was widely circulated and also offended many. Big B was advised not to let out such details about the birth of his granddaughter.

This did not go well with the actor and fired back in his blog.



"They warn me of dire consequences by mentioning details of the delivery or about Aishwarya. Why ? Do they have a monopoly on my family ? Are they the only ones that have an access to my personal matters ? So If they write and mention and talk about it, its fine ! Not the other way round ? Not acceptable. particularly when they are misreporting incorrect details !!"

While Abhishek is enjoying his fatherhood, Amitabh Bachchan is already looking forward to start the process of being a grandfather.

A day which needs to be examined and perhaps explained


Jalsa , Mumbai Nov 20 , 2011 Sun 11 : 56 PM


A discomforting day !


A day which needs to be examined and perhaps explained, but in doing so shall disturb the minds of many, ruffle feathers, create diversity rather than peace and well being. So best it is to leave, diminish its existence, allow it to dissipate if ever it would.


The inventions of the modern world amaze me. In time to come they the machines shall be doing all the work, we shall be their employees looking for jobs to work with them. It is not far, it is not untrue, for it shall prevail …


There is much to say, but I wonder if it would be taken in right spirit. There is much to express, but I wonder if it shall be looked upon with some maturity. Being mature is a self devised entity. I wonder if maturity can be taught .. no .. I think not. It will always be something that shall evolve personally and over time with patience. So might as well wait till it happens. The maturity obviously !!


How else did the day pass by … Sunday !! But there was apprehension that it would not work out, but it did. The crowds were minimal .. I had to be in hospital and wedding before judgement could be passed, so everything was a bit rushed and forlorn !!


I think back on the day, and desire not to think back on it any longer !!


I am short today, disjointed and opaque .. but tomorrow is another day !!


Good night !!

One abhors the usage of numbers to depict standing and value

Jalsa , Mumbai Nov 19 , 2011 Sat 11 : 29 PM

One abhors the usage of numbers to depict standing and value. But they remain an important and irreplaceable element in our lives. An important element even in the lives of the Ef.

Often there is a fight for the position at the top ; to be the first on the Blog. It is a numbers game. Being at the top of a heap does not in any manner diminish your presence reflecting somewhere at the middle or the bottom. All indeed shall be noticed and cared for and read and pondered over, even if it is a late night hour. The numbers attract me too, I must confess. On the right hand corner of this page comes the responses for the DAY. And I gauge through them whether the post was of any interest at all. It becomes my yardstick of competence. In the 200-250 range the conveyed message is average or perhaps routinely not interesting. 300 and above is uplifting, but the 1000 barrier compels me to come out and embrace you.

Values are depicted by the price tag that we see on the purchase or about to be purchased. It decides for us whether we wish to buy the merchandise or not. The ordeal or the hesitation when those numbers outlive your worth, become moments of some embarrassment. They used to when you are younger. As you age and come face to face with the realities of the world, the attitude becomes complacent, understanding and mature. There is no harm in admitting to the owner of the goods that certain objects can ill be afforded.

At times during the growing up ages, one shuddered to ask, for the fear of it being unaffordable. It made you shy and weak and quiet. You desire to run away from the spot, but much like those dreadful dreams where, despite the horror of an emergency you are unable to move your feet, you remain fixed and without comment, looking for a logical excuse to shift away with some degree of dignity.

Now with age and some experience you think aloud : ‘Err that would be too expensive for me ..’ or ‘that’s something beyond my budget .. ‘, which sounds pretty refined an answer to the store keeper or the attendant behind the counter. And then the flamboyance : you walk into a store and the looks and attire that adorns you does not seem to be of interest to the salesman, who in his arrogant immediacy, preempts you even before you have had a glance at the product you wish to purchase – ” Excuse me sir ! Could I be of any help … what your’e looking at is a $1000 dollars each !” Dismissive, rude and most unlike any sales manual.

These individuals get fixed by : ” Right ! Pack 50 of them would you ! And make sure you do not soil them as you wrap them up. I need them delivered to my Hotel in a hour please !” Drop the cash and depart with a ‘I’m at the shop down the street, get the change and meet me there would you please ?! Thank you !!’

Films and numbers and standings are a gauge too of the importance or value of the artist. In the 70′s and 80′s they would say ‘Its 1-10 for AB, all the rest come after’. This is ridiculous ! Ever seen an athletic victory stand with 10 number ‘I’ pedestals ?? I mean … what are they saying here ? Today on the Twitter House mode, ORMAX, a facility that dictates facts, asks who will be the number one in 2015 ? And off goes the machinery bringing in the votes from gullible innocent bystanders, who finally declare the results with great aplomb. Goodness ! Others work, and you merely do the counting, and worse, perhaps are better off than the one that slog their …. off !


Does giving a number, genuinely make the person worthy of the digit he or she carries. The lesser the number the larger the value in ratings ?? !!! Bit odd !


But it prevails with some impunity. And is enjoyed and loved and believed. Do you really think a host of South East Asian enthusiasts on the computer who voted for the ‘Star of the Millenium’, really knew what would go down in the books of posterity as one of the biggest aberrations ? No they did not. But now that it has been documented, it prevails much against the wishes of the person chosen !

Numbers then .. a game of undisputed interest and imagination … both vying with each other for attention, when what they value for, quietly goes about his or her work.


Good night … for ‘quiet flows the dawn’

I am but rebellious tonight. Not for any reason or cause, but just

Jalsa , Mumbai Nov 18/19 , 2011 Fri/Sat 1 : 05 AM


ये जो दिन गुज़रते जा रहे हैं , न जाने क्यूँ ऐसा लगता है जैसे कुछ गुज़रता ही नहीं है

“सुबह होती है श्याम होती है ज़िन्दगी यूँही तमाम होती है”….

अक्सर याद आती है इन शब्दों की वाणी
माँ इन्हें अपने आखरी दिनों में दोहराया करती थीं - न जाने क्यूँ
शायद उन्हें लगता था की उनके पास अब कुछ करने को नहीं है
लकिन क्यूँ ? क्यूँ वो कुछ करें
अब तो आराम करने के दिन थे , जितना उन्होंने करना था वोह तो वो कर चुकीं
हमें पढाया लिखाया बड़ा किया , इन सां बनाया , मर्द बनाया


लेकिन नाह, उनके मन में अबभी कुछ न कुछ करने का मन हमेशा लगा रहता था


चलो कहीं घूम आते हैं , बाज़ार से मिठाई या चाट खाते हैं
दिवाली की रौशनी अलग जगहों पे देखने चलते हैं
या फिर २६ जनवरी की जो धूम धाम मची हुई है उसे देखने चलते हैं


मुझमें ऐसी क्षमता नहीं
घर के कमरे में अकेले बैठ जाऊ तो चैन मिल जाये
कुछ लिखना हो , पढ़ना हो , सोचना हो , तो ठीक , वर्ना अशांति बनी रहती है


शायद कुछ बातें अपने पूज्य पिताजी से मिल गयीं , और कुछ अपनी माता से


आज भी अंग्रेजी प्रेमी परिवार के सदस्यों को दुःख होगा इसे पड़ने में
आज वो भाषा नहीं समझ पाएंगे और अनुवाद चाहेंगे
कर दूंगा मै , लेकिन आज नहीं
आज मुझे ऐसे ही रहने दीजिये


अकेला , और अपनों से कुछ दूर …

क्षमा प्रार्थी हूँ , और अमिताभ बच्चन भी हूँ ….

I am but rebellious tonight. Not for any reason or cause, but just ..

Sometimes I feel I need to be what I need to be. I hesitate to describe my state at times. I find it impersonal. Yet when I describe the matter of Aishwarya and how she went through with her delivery there were snide remarks and warnings. Nothing wrong have I done. Better to mention facts here than bear the ignominy of distorted press detail.

They warn me of dire consequences by mentioning details of the delivery or about Aishwarya. Why ? Do they have a monopoly on my family ? Are they the only ones that have an access to my personal matters ? So …

If they write and mention and talk about it, its fine ! Not the other way round ? Not acceptable. particularly when they are misreporting incorrect details !!

The softness of the smile on the ‘little one’ remains, her finger movements linger and the facial expressions attempt perhaps to say a lot more. But she shall have to wait a while before she can express them to us in a language that we understand !!

Good night dearest ones …

Amitabh Bachchan
