(These echoes of claps keep us alive; they must never be forgotten).”

Generational differences in appreciation

Passing on values to the next generation

On his blog, the cine icon wrote that each day brings a new lesson, often about simplicity, contentment, and the understanding that material wealth matters little in the final chapter of life.

Inspiration and life

Reflecting on the experience, Senior Bachchan wrote: “Privileged I am with the affection that pours out during the stay at the crease of the SHOW .. for that is the truest learning .. the true giver of an inspiration that no ‘thinker’ ‘philosopher’ shall enumerate .. try it .. and be alive to it .. there is no greater force than that which you carry within .. unknown , perhaps .. but relevant at its time of relevance.(sic).”Meanwhile, on the work front, he has a line-up of some interesting movies which includes the second instalment of Kalki 2898 AD and Brahmastra 2.
