Amitabh Bachchan drops a cryptic post on his blog
On his blog, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, “Times change, the world changes… attitudes, habits change, culture changes… people change… they that were then are not now… and soon they that are ‘now’ shall in time be in reference of the ‘then’ (sic).”
Sr. Bachchan then went on to share that there is no point in thinking about the past. He further wrote, “Lamentations from the ‘then’ keep echoing in the times of now… they shall simply remain a memory. Let them be in memory. Lamenting upon it shall be an exertive waste upon your system, attuned to ‘then’. Respect and enjoy it—they were such a delight ‘then’.”Big B then shared some verses by his late father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan. He then stated that those lines are valid in the current day and age as well. He wrote, “After so many, many years of its writing, it still reverberates and has meaning … that be the vision and depth of the poet and his poetry. The old say the old, listen to the new … the new say the new, listen to the old…”
