DAY 6012
Jalsa, Mumbai July 3, 2024/July 4 Sat/Sun 3:39 am
Birthday - EF - Suad LZ Desouza , Satinder
Sunday, 4 August ..
for the wishes and in remembrance 🙏
.. some fresh new interesting changes in the GAME and the impact it will have and the learnings .. but above all the ‘emotions’ that overcome us all when the outcome of the contestant before us narrates his or her story .. the dire circumstances they exist in and then the volume of their years of distress .. and suddenly they find themselves here on the 'garam kursi’ and they get taken up by the emotion of the moment ..
its is most moving and one feels so helpless .. to the condition of the lives of these men and women who come in front of the millions that witness their struggles and years and years of strife …
BUT .. with that most endearing smile which just melts us ..
for the past few days the contestants and their lives that come before us have been most emotional and moving .. and we sit in the wonder of their narratives .. and try to extend helping hands for their needs and to try and overcome their harsh lives ..
.. and despite the belittling that the World outside and they that have no consciousness or burn in their own manufactured stew , but deriving some inverse pleasure in filling up their coffers with the impotency of their content work .. these brave men and the gentle little girls, live their lives with courage and forthrightness that the evil pen pencil pushers or stabbers of the squares , derive ..
shame on them ..
and when victory comes in the shape of the success at the 'hot seat’, they never seize to continue to amaze me, by their generous outlook and pay back not just in kind, but their minds as well ..
may they be given all the strength that the Almighty can ever bestow upon those that struggle and set examples .. and teach a lesson to these ..

DAY 6010
Jalsa, Mumbai Aug 1, 2024/Aug 2 Thu/Fri 2:54 am
Birthday - EF - Vijaya Lakshmi .. Ef Anurodh Arun Gupta
Friday, 2 August .. and my wishes along with the wishes of the Ef family for you .. love and have a lovely day .. ❤️
.. on the day off the sleep be long and unwanted , but it delivers and we take and extend and pay no heed to the work on hand .. pity .. for work is the essence of ‘keeping one awake’ .. is it not ..
.. but its 2:59 am, now , and in a minute shall be 3:00 am of the 2nd of August ..
may you have a graceful morn and may all the wishes that you may desire be fulfilled .. with some rapidity .. ah , rapidity .. the use of such word after a long interval of avoidance and deliberateness ..
at times it be of some unacclaimed value that there is avoidance and deliberate attempt on the part off the blogomaestra : a respite from the usual and norm form ..
so … so … so …
agreat deal of neglected paper work and connects and responses was taken care and the finals were celebrated at the saptaswar of the SAPTASWAR ..
.. and religiosity was the aim for the others than the self .. unable to live up to their musical expectations do after a determined try .. er ..
well ..
just do what is done .. else we .. retire .. and we did ..
but not before a wild attempt of collaborating with anonymous make shift rhythm and words from the past to design and hip moving JAM .. which I believe someday , perhaps shall see the light of the night ..
yo .. I rhythmed .. and found that there is work to be done on it and shall wait for the spare moment to be able to do that ..
from religiosity .. to jamming .. such insignificant attempts at music .. we are such amateurs and have no idea whatsoever of the trends and needs of this GEN Z ..
.. this gen z , is a set by itself .. independent , sure , confident and secure from an age when we were struggling with how the lace of the shoe needs to be tied ..
we .. errr .. still dont ..
they have realised it too .. the makers ..
they make shoes that need no laces .. but shoe horns .. slip in .. yank the horn and trundle away ..
ah .. life is so simple and avilable with all the options of the World at the drop of the proverbial HAT .. wherever it came from ..
the proverb dears , not the hat ..
the hat conveys a lot more than most of us can ever dream of knowing ..
respect though does still carry value ..
tipping the hat in greeting .. taking it off in appreciation .. crushing it in resentment .. kissing it in pride .. placing at feet of the other, in reverence .. in our culture .. !!!
my hat is off .. as is my brain in tiresome expectation of the pill .. ermm .. the pillow !
GN .. or rather GWN ..

🪔 ,
July 31 .. birthday greetings to Ef Reyhan Rezaei from Iran 🇮🇷 .. 🌷🙏🏻❤️🚩
August 01 .. birthday greetings to Ef Shital Patel from California 🇺🇸 .. 🙏🏻🚩
..
And .. for the nostalgic days of Scout .. August 01 be World Scout Scarf Day .. and .. the Salute and greetings .. 🫡 .. ⚜️
… oh gosh those were the days at BHS, Allahabad .. and the scouting experiences with the troop and the visitor of the head of the Scouts from Australia and how he remembered the number of autographs he signed .. quite remarkable ..
and these 👆🏼 pictures of all rather grim looking scouts .. 🤣 .. even I find it difficult to recognise me .. though I still remember most of the others ..
strange is it not how you remember those early days and have problems remembering the recent meets ..
And the run in to work continues ..
.. the meets with some of the contestants a great learning and a moral social education .. coming from them is such a huge joy and a pride for us all .. how they survive their circumstances .. what the winnings mean for them .. what lessons they give to all that see our programme and the modest simplicity these exude ..
heartbreaking at times .. but then their resolve and grit gives us courage to keep going and appreciating and lauding their resolve to thrive .. and be a winner .. truly truly amazing ..
all set and kept in the thoughts of the game and its importance for the others ..
AND ..
this simple labour worker parent Father of the young contestant, who had never ever stepped out of his village .. seen planes flying above in the skies and describes with great pride how his daughter now selected to play the game has provided him the opportunity to be actually seated in a plane for the very first time .. and how he describes these aircrafts , in his own understanding :
He was saying :
हमने तो कभी सपने में भी नहीं सोचा था, की इस चील गाड़ी को कभी देख पायेंगे और उसपर बैठ पायेंगे !!!!
चील गाड़ी ??
What an amazing description of an aeroplane in the simplicity of one that has only lived and worked as a labourer who does पुताई of homes and does not have one of his own ..
He is an ordinary labourer that paints home walls ..
I believe this description should be introduced in the Hindi Dictionary ..
The cheel - चील , the eagle .. that is all he can refer to as the flying object to relate it to a flying bird .. and the fact that he discovers, is that, it is a flying vehicle that carries people !!!`
You tend to smile at it at first .. but then it deepens in the heart and mind and its simplicity and the lack of the exactness due to the circumstances, just smacks you in the face .. !!!
ORIGINAL .. YES .. SIMPLE YES .. BUT DRIVEN BY THE INNOCENCE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCE
… and amongst all the life that goes on around you , this is what remains ..
On being asked by me , after the daughter had won a decent sizeable amount what she would do with the earnings .. she said :
“I want to give my Father a pair of shoes like you are wearing, the sneakers, because he walks to his work each day and he has an age old chappal - a sandal - that has worn out and she wants to make his feet comfortable when he has to walk to work, because his sandals have worn out and he has to manage with those torn ones ..”
Another contestant did not bring her father as a Companion on the show , even though he was invited, because she said by coming he would lose the daily work day at his village and they survive on his daily earnings .. !!!!
You come back and .. just wonder .. and do in your own little way how their lives could be improved ..
Love
Amitabh Bachchan

देर हो गई, देर ओ गई, देर हो गई
भाग दौड़ के जीवन में, देर हो गई ;
काम काम होता है, काम से पहले कुछ नहीं,
कुछ समय निकाल के काम पे, कनेक्शन अधूरी कभी नहीं
a few eps done and another to go for the DAY .. so a quick bite and back to work ..
More later today ..

A little ahead of time and hoping that there is sufficient to say to the Ef of the Blogomaestra ..
An off day from KBC and dedicated to the body in the gym and dedicated to them that know what should be done ..
But before that some VO’s that had been pending for a while .. some from the ad., films done and some for a friend who has developed and given obeisance to the Divine .. always a moment that one does unhesitantly ..
We are in the process of planning to show to a few limited the film KALKI and I work towards it .. but please do not take this as an invitation yet .. the planning is in process .. IN PROCESS .. it may fructify it may not ..
My love till then and more ❤️

The elements of educating oneself never cease .. each day and each hour is a learning , disguised in information from either the elements , the credentials of books and the evere learned Ef .. my graciousness always .. 🚩
DAY 6006
Jalsa, Mumbai July 28, 2024 Sun 11:50 pm
Long early hours of work and the joys of a day in the meets with the GOJ well wishers .. the most rewarding of all .. for ‘they’ are the responsibility of the joys ..
and though the skies held back for most of the day - the night is yet to be seen - that momentary respite for good for the 'they’ and the Sunday door to be in cheer and in roar - the roar that confirms the love the presence and the need for us to be in survival ..
work incidents leave an emotional beat within .. learning of the circumstances that the contestant faces are heartbreaking !
How they survive and exist is difficult to imagine .. yet their spirit to come out of the misery and be forgiving and inspired to break the barriers that hold them back, is a remarkable feature of their lives ..
may they all live with dignity and care and put their learnings of life and their hard earned KBC earnings to resolve , in some permanency , all their obstacles and grievances ..
I pray in earnest for that .. for them ..
🙏
🚩
🕉
.. and the day has ended in some respite for the morrow is an off day .. to be able to review and resolve pending works , without the fear of losing time on other schedules ..
time is time ..
and respect to it is so prominent that there is a constant requirement for the time to be at the raise of the eyes , whenever and wherever it be ..
a bit amusing for many .. could be rightly so .. but it does become an element with age .. what is needed be available within a hand reach ..
🙂
so .. the 5.30 GOJ and the joy of meeting loved ones and those that care each Sunday for you .. for their time, effort and the affectionate drawings and pictures that need that one autograph , a memento, a moniker .. just those few moments .. and it is done ..
.. to bed to bed to bed .. early enough .. for there is , despite the break , work of another kind .. of words, of recitations, of VO’s and capturing the done work in now hopefully better voice .. !

DAY 6005
Jalsa, Mumbai July 27, 2024/July 28 Sat/Sun 2:37 am
.. the body moves .. not quite as before .. but moves .. movements are an integral part of our living .. we are brought here in this Universe to move .. move out move above move about and around , but move ..
I sought the pt’s of movement for us likes and are given the directions that pertain to the fact of how movement is the crucible of necessity ..
“For an 82-year-old male, maintaining movement is crucial for overall health and well-being. Gentle activities like walking, swimming, or tai chi can help enhance mobility, strength, and balance. Stretching exercises improve flexibility, reducing the risk of injury. Light resistance training can preserve muscle mass and bone density. It’s essential to include regular breaks and avoid overexertion. Social activities like dancing or group exercises provide both physical and mental benefits. Consulting with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise regimen is important to ensure safety and to tailor the activities to the individual’s health status and physical capabilities.”
.. and so I move ..
but enough of the ‘i’ .. it’s time to bring in the 'they’ .. 'they’ are the necessity of the movement living .. for the simple reason that what 'they’ induce you with , becomes the movement legacy .. 'they’ may never feel so , but the fact is just that .. MOVE ..
blessed are we that are the face of public appearance .. and the 'they’ comes in with immense intensity to justify our beliefs and aforementioned detail ..
when 'they’ burst we explode .. when 'they’ explode we hold on to their tails and travel where 'they’ do or go .. 'they’ go to destinations known to them but 'they’ carry our destinations as well .. without them we have no destination .. our final peak is theirs .. and that is how we be ..
In a few hours from now .. well .. quite a few hours from now at the GOJ .. there shall be meets and greets and shares and givings and reciprocation .. that is life , reciprocation .. get one give two ..
and the interpretation be theirs as well .. we learn from them .. 'they’ are the spirit that educates .. 'they’ teach professionally .. we follow in the lead given ..
the mention of the 95% and 98% is ever adorned with great appreciation .. but 'they’ teach us that there are those that achieve from the 50% to the 60% also..
are their achievements any less ..
they deserve the lead as well , to swell the encouragement to keep the growth ..
and growth is movement ..
SO ..
MOVE ..
MY LOVE CARE and my affection for them that strain .. strain to move forward .. a step or two may be and NOT a gallop .. but a step all the same ..
'take the strain …. HEAVE ’ !!!!

Birthday - EF - Anjana Sridhar
Thursday, 25 July .. with love for the birthday .. ❤️ from the entire Ef family .. enjoy
… and the timing is ahead of its time so there is a pleasant feel to the DAY .. my greetings a bit early ..
the first day of the 16th season of KBC .. and the nerves and the apprehension and the tensions of the changes and the audience being receptive all rolled into one big bag of dhag, dhag, dhak in the region of the dhak dhak .. 🤣
day over slumber over over over .. a long over .. and now just lounging with the idea of an early night because the timetable says so ..
but never without a share of the accessories of the day - the pictures
not to break the routine the run is still on .. and the roar and the love of the audience still in place ,, phew !!
the contestants - well - are great many of much superior talent and immense knowledge and grace and our duty then to see they have an enjoyable evening ..
आते समय, बारिश का प्रकोप, ऐसा लगा फिर तैर के जाना पड़ेगा घर, लेकिन हो गया कुछ, और संभल के पहुँच गये । सब आपकी कृपा से ।
बातें करते समय जो हमारे खिलाड़ी हैं, गरम कुर्सी पे, उनसे इतना कुछ सीखने को मिलता है । उनके विचार, उनका जीवन, उनका संघर्ष, और उनका घृढ़ विश्वास की मेहनत करने से सब कुछ प्राप्त हो जाता है । भावुक कर देता है कुछ लोगों का जीवन हमें, और उनके लिए स��्भावना और उनके जीवन में ख़ुशियाँ फिर से आने का, इस माध्यम से, प्रेरित करता है सब को । उनकी जीत में हमें अत्यंत ख़ुशी होती है ।
ईश्वर की कृपा उनपर बनी रहे !
🙏
तो आज का समय यहीं समाप्त होता है , शुभ रात्रि, शुभ रात्रि , शुभ रात्रि !
