"Languishing in the environs of the home and the prevention from all kinds of physical activity.. the inability to partake in the festivities of the day.. and the gaiety of Holi that was celebrated with such vigor and in such fine fettle, has gone amiss.. has been so for years now," Bachchan wrote on his blog. The open house.. the joyous greeting to everyone.. the hundreds that immersed themselves in music, dance, and fellowship.. beginning early in the day and continuing in an unending fashion till the dawn of the next..
Every year, the Bachchans would host a Holi and Diwali party, but this year, due to his condition, there was no party or celebrity gathering at his home. That period may never come again, according to Big B, who wrote, "Such days may never come again. I sincerely hope they do, but it appears to be challenging.. at least for the time being.. When in time and in the moment of introspection.. get back to Babuji's words.. and pick those jewels, those components that express his mind.
He continued by quoting a remark made by his late father, poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan, to a supporter who lavished him with praise and high terms praising his work and character: Then another person says, "They that call me Maha Kavi.. the greatest poet.. the great and the best.. I feel they are being sarcastic towards me.. what evil have I done to be given a sarcastic reference." "Tell me what the mistakes and dislikes of my work are. Tell others of the 'khoobiyaan', the brilliance, and the goodness of my work.
According to Bachchan, he is like his father and dislikes the "glorious epithets" he frequently receives. He continued, "And the spirit has always rubbed off on me too. No, no such adjectives, please. Just a plain name will suffice." "I despise being referred to in the wonderful epithets that are formed in my introduction or in a reference."
