but as we near the ending of the season of KBC .. a great amount of catch up is being required .. hence finished only by 1 AM, this morning and am setting off again to the studios ..
Had to shoot 3 episodes yesterday and had the honour and privilege of being in the company of Sudha Narayan Murthy, the wife of Infosys Narayan Murthy and to hear and learn about her Foundation and the immense amount of work that she has done and is doing for the poor and underprivileged , in particular the succour and a fresh life she is giving to the ancient tradition of the ‘Devdasis’, and giving them a new beginning ..
What an amazing experience .. what a lady .. and what an immense learning for me and all that come under her care and influence ..
.. a ‘chadar’ stitched by the women ‘devdasis’ whom Sudha ji has given a new life to .. away from the old tradition where they were relegated to discrimination .. and a gift for me to ever remember and be in awe of her tremendous work ..

"And reminiscing the work front by the day after when there shall be the chair and the computer ji and the audience (referring his show 'KBC'). "But first the left overs of incidents from the times of 'Don' and the cracks and breaks now playing up and placing themselves in important avenues which restrict movement....At times of this it may be of interest too...to the body , but not the mind. So one listens to the body...and many shall there be who will applaud and commit to say...'did we not tell you this to slow down...' Slow down? Thats what you tell the vehicle or the train on road and track ....so...what (sic)," he added.
On Saturday, Bachchan regretted having missed the inaugural ceremony of 25th Kolkata International Film Festival which he had been attending for the past six years. The actor wrote that while he's sad he won't be physically present, he's trying to send across a video to the festival. "Sad and in regret to not be able to travel for KIFF to Kolkata....an event that has invited me for years...I think now 7 years....and the speech...glorifying cinema and the research by educated assists from dear friends...gone..but there is communication established whether I could read it on video and send to them to be played at the closing," he added.
