Such is life ..... just when you begin to think that all is well with the world, something terrible happens the very next moment.
Oct 11th will be remembered as such an example.
Amitabh Bachchan's birthday, and his fans on his blog want to give him a special treat by waking up the whole night on Oct 1oth and waiting for that special moment when the clock strikes 12, and when 10th passes into 11th. The blog members clamor & jostle with each other(on the Internet ether!) to be the "1st" to wish the Big B, to be the 1st on the Comments list. For many, the top-position on Mr. Bachchan's blog has become the sole reason to live!
The next morning the TV screens all across India are splashed with the news channel coverage of Mr. Bachchan's trip to the Nanavati & Leelavati Hosptal, in an ambulance! 'The stomach pain is back', the loyal fans shudder, with the lucid reminiscence of the past trouble the Big B has had with his stomach. Pundits are given prime time spots on the news channel to let the audience know under which "dasha" are Mr. Bachchan's astrological planets.
Amidst all the media frenzy, a small group of fans, who shun the publicity, are silently praying for the Big B's return to normal health. Among several of them is the author of this blog : ' your's truly' . Here's wishing AB Sr. the longest and healthiest life possible. May God bless him!
