The Sunday of many years and many hues stares at us

Jalsa, Mumbai               July 14, 2013                 Sun 11:39 PM

, each different day and the affection unabated, undaunted expresses itself with warmth and love .. come rain or storm .. eternally they shall remain in my life as a symbol of what the people gave me …

'The Game of Thrones' occupies most of my day and there is remorse because the Season 3 is over and one wants it never to end. The production value, the cast of such immense talent, the story line, symbolic of times that could have emerged in the past, the detailing to locations, surroundings, dress, properties … immaculate !! Such an attraction to watch a Tv series which has the value of a film … perhaps even better and greater ..

The number of artists that partake, their extraordinary performances, is just so thrilling to watch. Where on earth are they getting these actors from ? Each one chosen to portray exactly what was desired in the series, and performing to perfection. Just lends itself to such a phenomenal experience, that you just sit there glued to your chair, without moving an inch ..

But .. now what ? shall have to hone in to another that can give equal viewing pleasure. 'Homeland' was terrific, but that season has ended too. And the search for the next is on … so if any of the Ef is capable of recommending some interesting ones please do so …

Glued to the chair is valid only for moments when the little one is not around .. because once she pops in, the world stops for her and her antics ..  'thank heaven for little girls, for little girls get …' Maurice Chevalier and that eternal song .. how those old memories come back. When you first heard it, the appreciation was on another plane, now .. different meaning and place .. strange but so true ..

Its back to the grind again tomorrow .. and an early night is the call of the hour ..

So good night dear Ef … sleep well and be together ..

Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan: The Game Changer Of The Century

Amitabh Bachchan: The Game Changer Of The Century

MUMBAI: Amitabh Bachchan, the Shehenshah of Bollywood, has added a new feather to his proverbial cap. The super stylish 70 year old superstar was the cynosure of all eyes recently, when he was awarded the title of ‘John Walker & Sons Game Changer of the Century’.

Ivan Menezes, Chief Operating Officer, Diageo plc, was the chosen one to honour Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan as the ‘John Walker & Sons Game Changer of the Century’. This award was conferred on Senior Bachchan for his epochal achievements in Mumbai on 16th December.

The Shehenshah of India cinema was felicitated at the prestigious event. Amitabh Bachchan was his usual impeccably stylish self, in a navy blue suit and trademark reading glasses, as he accepted the award from Ivan Menezes.

Recent reports have also revealed how a film, which was supposed to have starred Amitabh Bachchan and the eternally beautiful Rekha, is the inspiration behind Mayank Austen Soofi’s latest book. The film got shelved, but the book behind it, ‘Nobody Can Love You More’ has now released. The Delhi-based author started work on ‘Nobody Can Love You More’, after the rights for an earlier story (which would have featured Amitabh and Rekha) were reportedly sold to Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Mayank Austen Soofi had set his heart on writing a book on Delhi’s red light district GB Road, and spent three long years researching the lives of people living and working in the red-light district. The author has reportedly incorporated popular Bollywood film tracks including ‘Sheila Ki Jawaani’ and ‘Munni Badnaam Hui’ as a backdrop, for the lives of the characters he features in the book.

Bhansali’s unmade film was rumoured to have featured Rani Mukherjee, Shabana Azmi and Anil Kapoor in supporting roles. What a tragic loss, for this film would have really seen a stellar cast, one that the audiences have never seen before in a single frame!
