Standing ovation at KBC

Amitabh shared a picture on his blog from the sets of his quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati. In the photo, the live audience is seen giving him a standing ovation and applauding as he waves back.He wrote, “Ye taaliyan ki goonj humein jeevit rakhti hai, inhe kabhi bhi bhoolna nahi chahiye! (These echoes of claps keep us alive; they must never be forgotten).”

Generational differences in appreciation

He further added, “The young have their own standards of belief and praise and dislike… the elders have a connect with what has passed …What the next Gen will do is a mystery… And it should be (sic.)”Earlier, he had talked about simplicity, contentment, and the real lessons of life, saying that true wealth isn’t in luxury but in the values we pass on to the next generation.

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. Big B wrote, “Each day a learning .. a learning of the simplicity of life and living .. of the attitude of satisfaction .. of the adverse resentment in a way of luxury and high end living – for at the end of life , nothing goes alog with you… (sic).”“What one leaves behind is a learning .. a learning passed on to the generation that you have brought into this World .. for they shall be the true bearers of your living life,” he added.

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.
