A Lifetime Achievement Award .. one that I ever shy away from .. not deserving of any such recognition .. but ..

🪔 ,

April 24 .. birthday greetings to Ef Rajesh Goenka from Chennai .. and Ef Vishal Bhatt from Amdavad .. 🙏🏻🚩❤️

Wedding anniversary greeting to Ef Irfan Nuyani .. for April 24 .. 💐🙏🏻🚩❤️

निकले थे काम पे अपनी गाड़ी से ; रूप स्वरूप हुआ लोगों की ज़िमेदारी से ।

खेल होने जा रहा है नये season का ; स्नेह प्यार बना रहे Ef परिवार का

.. a non stop schedule beginning at 9 .. and worked till 5 without the traditional break .. done it driven off , and lunched in car .. that rolled appropriate eat and that consumption drink .. and back in the love of the game at IPL .. as exciting as all the others that are unfolding before us this season ..

and unexpectedly in the Fortress of Chepauk a most stunning hard fought result .. almost the same as the day before when the last ball decided the one run victory !!

it be looked forward to this game and the work schedules adjusted accordingly .. interest never waning .. from that 'John Jaany Janardhan' song shoot at Filmistan when all of us sat outside what then was a miracle mechanism - a transistor monitored small TV screen .. enraptured with the game ..

gone the days of stopping by that panwala to hear the commentary beyond the walls of the College grounds at University .. err 1956-58 approx .,

and now a million alternatives in immediacy available ..

BUT ..

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury the experience of a Stadium is simply incomparable ..

.. it beckons all .. to come and explore the opportunity of a winning ..

Must to bed .. to bed .. to bed .. and 😴

🪔 , 

April 23 .. it’s happy birthday to Ef Lakshmi Venkatraman Pishe from Bengaluru.. as ever love always from the Ef Family .. keep well .. ❤️🙏🏻🚩

A big ahead of time .. ahead of time . !!

Ahaaa .. a most commonly used phrase .. excuse .. divert .. when something you do and it fails , so it was 'ahead of its time' - with all due respects to them that have presented creativity with aplomb and have in time been recognised in later years ..

The irony of life .. !!

Its work tomorrow .. for the invites for KBC season .. err, whichever it be .. to begin the beguine .. !!

Ha ha .. the beguine being the very popular Caribbean Dance - a form that I have always loved and enjoyed .. it's one that stimulates the body to move in moves which are so alien to the traditional dancing from the Western world eg., the walz, the fox trot .. though the beguine be fairly close in movement to the the 'fox trot' ..

Wonder where the word for the dance form originated .. certainly not by observing the foxes - the लोमड़ी - lomdi ..

hahahaha .. so asking the lady for a dance at an evening as used to be the formal approach and say -

" ma'm care to do the lomdi with me ' !

and off they go ..

times have changed have they not .. no more formality in the permission to dance with the lady .. just get onto the floor or balcony or wherever and start moving - no gracefully holding the lady in the arm, making her comfortable and then begin ..

those were the day my friend ..

right then .. back to the grind .. and time to retire ..

Good night .. ❤️

Amitabh Bachchan

ooohhhhh .. that look when she conveys she is not interested in the dance !!

DAY 5907

Jalsa, Mumbai Apr 20/21, 2024 Sat/Sun 12:37 AM

My gracious gratitude first to all they that wish Abhishek and Aishwarya on their Wedding Anniversary .. they send their acknowledgement and thank you for it ..

the conveniences that one seeks as the years skip by in leaps and bounds, is the desire to have at arms length the needs that be essential in today's times ..

as the years pass by the flexibility that would have prevailed earlier seems to have been stolen or spent or merely given away to nature ..

others in similar, shall be the ones to give it compassion and result .. not any other .. when they get to the condition they shall perhaps relive the Blog post and be in belief ..

the other matter, is for the cerebrum to be up to the speed of communication and information in all its zillions of alternatives, so that there shall never be a lapse of thinking or thought .. for that is what now prevails often ..

So a basic 'old age' device has been designed ..

The moment that name that event that destination that .. whatever .. does not appear on the screen of HD times 100 intensity before you .. get to the browser - thank thee O Lord for these simple creature comforts - and search the information ..

AAHHHHH .. yes of course the detail was at the tip of the tongue, but refused to give it voice and correct choice ..

Relief .. phew !! as is often used .. these days ..

And then the old world technology seeps in .. and you use the good ol' pen and write the information down on that sheet of blank paper lying 3 mm, that's .. 3 millimeters - from your nose .. and keep looking at it as you think of the next line for the Blog .. 🤣 ..

I have no idea why , but writing it down seems to have the quality and properties of a marking open, reflected within the intricate traffic of the brain ..

Once written .. written .. obeyed and believed .. and of course informed ..

it's the adage .. पत्थर पे लिखी लकीर !!

Moses and the 10 came much after I would like to believe !!

शुभ रात्रि .. as they would say back home 🤣

Jalsa, Mumbai Apr 19/20, 2024 Fri/Sat 1:15 PM

... and the punching finger moves on and deliberates on the Blog Post for the day that has gone by in the yester time ..

work related work has been initiated and is now in operation .. I mean in operative text till the operation starts ..

and .. 🤣🤣 ..

the brilliance of the interpreters that read into the texts of posts-wosts , shall deduce and headline that AB is going in for surgery .. !!!

OR

merely take the last few words of the above ..

'AB is going in for surgery .. !!!'

and make killing out of a dead comment or a commented death .. hahahahah 😳... 🤣

So the joy and the happiness of the being together with Bhaiyu evolves and he along with me now work together on an endorsement that we project ..

.. more later .. rushing now to bear the work load of the day previous ..

but soon to be with you ..

and my wishes to all that have wished Abhishek- Aishwarya on their Wedding Anniversary .. April 20, ...

Work kept me delayed and away from my post inputs . and now due to the late ness, there is desire to turn in and retire ..

I wish all the very best and send my love to all ..

There were some moments spent at the straddles of music .. straddles ? .. just throwing it for use as a first .. I can straddle a horse , a chair or couch .. but music ? hmm .. a first in many respects .. but not very far away from reality ..

Straddle ..

to spread your legs to climb onto ..

and climbing on to music is not too far away or wrong .. at least in my eyes .. and body .. whatever it can straddle it must ..

I straddle your love and affection .. ❤️

🪔 ,

For April 18 .. our love and wishes for the Ef on their special day .. to Ef Jonoon Alhob from KSA 🇸🇦 .. Ef Ninad Junnarkar from Dubai 🇦🇪 .. Ef Manoj Lahoti from Ahmedabad .. Ef Mahesh Ghantasala .. and Ef Amlan Goswami from Lucknow .. love always from the Ef Family .. ❤️🙏🏻🚩

.. and it seems so odd and uncoordinated when there is an effort to keep the timings of the Blog in time and space and effect .. the fingers move to punch all the words and dates and days and timings to the day next as is the recognised practice ..

but change took place and .. took place in time ..

It is a joy when there is express and question in express , and all of them barking up the wrong tree .. it's not the tree its the wrong bark ..

got it .. ??

the X and the FB !!

the thought is that to be humorous , without being humorous .. a funny thought but at times it works .. one could expect to announce that he or she are the greatest comedians of the World, and the audience is repelled into uncontrollable laughter .. and the comedian merely stands there in the glory and admiration of his own joke ..

that is if you comment ..

'no comment' was not invented by celebrities or answerable individuals without reason ..

comment ferments .. !!

hahaha .. that was funny .. just came out of the oven baked and fresh .. ready to be consumed ..

and fermentation ..

"a chemical breakdown of substance by bacteria , or other microorganisms, involving efference and the giving off of heat .."

🤣🤣🤣

aaah .. the epitome of mastered questioned answers , one that would bring great intrigue to the questioner and a 😀 for the responder ..

Not anymore though .. for social media has obliterated commented news ..

which is why the coefficient of linear expansion is juxtapositioned by the haemoglobin of the atmosphere .. sophisticated rhetorician and all, intoxicated by the exuberance of verbosity

LONG live the Industry of Film .. and its presence among us .. the strongest medium of communication ..

EVEN NOW .. !!

in the liberty to manufacture in its creativity of wondrous understanding and composure , towards the elements of a free will and mind ..

" enough no more .. tis' not so sweet as it were before "

Love to all .. and the bard 👆🏼

🪔 ,

April 15 .. birthday greetings to Ef Dharmesh Sheth from Dubai 🇦🇪 .. Ef Sanjith Hannuman from South Africa 🇿🇦 .. Ef Trushar Patel from New Jersey 🇺🇸 .. Ef Shubnum .. and Ef Ravi from Belize 🇧🇿 .. 🙏🏻🚩

.. there is a delay as may e seen .. and the compensation for that is the 'Bigger' Bold for the birthday greetings .. 😀

But truly .. the work and time load has been a bit involved and the time for the right kind of work has been delayed ..

'right kind' ..? errm .. all times are right times , but this connect with the Ef is supreme .. and hence delays or miss outs of greetings or connects affects ..

so ..

in the middle of the essential gym work the sudden realisation that the Blog needs ti be put out and have therefore rushed to the Janak desk of operational existence, to well .. WRITE ..

and then climb down to the Studio Saptaswar for some essential recordings and the need for some creative music for the peace of mind .. which has been troubled by the happenings all around and the recent visuals of viewing on nuclear expositions ..

.. and an apology ahead of time for the non compliance of the picture gallery that normally follows a Sunday, simply because the quality of the picturesque GOJ , was not up to the mark, as expected .. a change of guard has been the reason .. but hopefully soon there shall be a reversal ..

I shall therefore rush off .. and later at night when most of the World is asleep, I shall return for the DAY of the next and gather enough courage and material to satisfy the hunger of the expectant Ef ..

Hahaha .. I love this expectant Ef ..

.. a repeat albeit .. but ..

Love

DAY 5899

Jalsa, Mumbai Apr 12/13, 2024 Fri/Sat 12:35 AM

.. a day of disturbed mind and thought .. on the World and the World we live in , sitting on the pile of Nuclear Weaponry , that has the capacity to 'blow up the World' -

'blow up the World' .. not my words but that of a leader from powerful Nation .. the stockpile of such nuclear bombs, some thousands , if pressed have the capacity to blow up the World ..

And these get in the dining table discussion .. the possibilities , the errors, the mistakes that could trigger off, the false alarms and the consequences .. and of course the decision of ONE man or human .. whether accidentally or 'following on his or her duty on command'

books and articles were brought in , along with the documentaries brought out in such graphic detail ..

any situation of another War holds the fear of such a happening ..

and we wonder .. and ponder .. and gather courage ..

for that is all that can be done ..

AND that song from the film Jagriti - जागृति - in 1954, the first Hindi film I ever saw in Allahabad, now PrayagRaj .. and the words ring so true in what we discuss in 2024 :

एटम बमों के ज़ोर पे ऐंठी है ये दुनिया बारूद के इक ढेर पे बैठी है ये दुनिया तुम हर क़दम उठाना जरा देखभाल के इस देश को रखना मेरे बच्चो संभाल के हम लाये हैं तूफ़ान से किश्ती निकाल के…

इस देश को रखना मेरे बच्चों सम्भाल के !!!

the foresight of a poet can never be underestimated ..

April 12 .. birthday greetings to Ef Ilana Segev .. and Ef Nadezhda Babkina .. 🙏🏻🚩 .. and all our wishes for happiness .. lve ❤️

... missed the night BLOG timing .. too energised by MI performance last night at the game .. and lolling around in its victory ..

But really more interesting and intriguing the informative documentary on the intrigues of the World in an atmosphere of nuclearism .. the politics and diplomacy of the war games played by nations that possess nuclear facilities and its consequences ..

the fear among all of the immense arsenal stored within the catacombs of armed warfare in the event of another war .. and the destruction it would cause , if it did take place ..

Well .. the assessment of it occurrence would mean the end of the World , for the capacity held in each device is sufficient to eliminate entire nations .. and all the decisions in the hands and minds of , in almost all cases .. ONE INDIVIDUAL ..

may peace prevail .. may love flourish .. may we live and survive in an atmosphere of harmony and care ..

❤️

🌹

🪔 ,

April 11 .. birthday greetings to Ef Lyudmila RF Zueva .. and Ef Heena Maru .. 🙏🏻🚩 .. and may all the best be reserved for you .. love from the Ef's .. ❤️

An extended work out .. repeats, increases of weights , greater time walkabouts .. free arm and the physio to pull the body parts in all conceivable directions ..😁 .. hot showers, the IPL game , when the results are reaching tantalising ends .. and then ..

The mystery of the World Wars .. the building of the armouries .. the mindset of those that work to protect and fight .. the psychological studies of them that initiate such ..

Fascinating .. scary ..

Were then .. am now .. shall be later ..

And life shall move on .. the fears of the past remain fogged and buried .. for the todays, evident and present .. for the tomorrow, the anxiety for the progeny that shall face it .. in time ..

aaahhhhh .. too much philosophy .. this GEN Z shall have none of it .. for them .. Doris Day .. and 🎶 .. and 'que sera sera , whatever will be be will be .. the future's not ours to see .. QUE SERA SERA .. but the song shall ever remain a ???? question mark for the them of today ..

BUT ..

.. how time has kept us all in tune and line .. 1957 Sherwood , Nainital, School Play, Nikolai Gogol's 'The Government Inspector' , Danny Kaye the phenomenal talent, playing the Inspector .. and I use it on stage in Milman Hall for the Annual Concert, where I play the Mayor .. and during a rehearsal, class mate Chris Borthwick, who plays the Inspector suggests the famous line to be spoken at a particular scene - impromptu .. and the entire Hall comes down .. it was the most popular song of the World .. and gives me my best actor Cup - the Kendall Cup .. Geoffrey Kendall, who built the drama Company Shakespeareana, travelling all over the World with it .. came to put up the plays of Shakespeare in School .. asked me to play a part on one such day .. I did not coz' was prepping for my Finals Senior Cambridge Exam .. John Kurrien, classmate did it .. Shashi Kapoor married his daughter - Jennifer - who acted on stage with her Father, and where and when Shashi ji met her ..

GEN Z .. 🥹 !!

Alright then .. its 😴

may all be in prayer and love and happiness and .. more ..

family is the ultimate gift and they bring all that is the desire for togetherness and joy .. so the family remains in celebration and the company of each other enlightens the entire day .. the sound of laughter and animated recollections of the past days , ever the moment that we relive .. now moreso , for we have the ability of storing visuals and communications, in the modern world of inventiveness ..

Chaitra Sukhladi Tuesday, 9 April

Birthday - EF - Megha .. Ef Sharmila Tuesday, 9 April .. and on this day we wish you the very best .. greetings and love from the Ef family ..

It is in the morn of another family birth .. of which that has required no explanation .. the better half celebrates her birthday TODAY , and all the greetings for her are recognised and shown gratitude , as always ..

A quiet family 'bring in' for the 9th on the midnight hour .. and the love of immediate family presence ..

A correction on the date of the DAY, yesterday was done after the realisation that, the mind plays truant at times .. more now in these times than before .. nature takes over .. it guides and gives decision , and we accept ..

.. the night did end up by the after of midnight .. and the 'nidra' - निद्रा, was set to the recline by around 2:30 .. but it was seeking a presence at 3 at 4 at 5 .. so I did not wish to disappoint it , submitted myself to its form and came up to accomplish the labour of love - the BLOG ..

I am in attendance toward the pending of the last day and evening, so shall race towards its finishing line, 'break the tape' of victory and return .. breathless, but with smile ..

😀

I a while then ..
