Main, aur meri tanhaai: Big B is angry

-

"I have yet to tell them to... but if I survive I shall... and let me tell you they are a force incensed... they traverse the entire World... from the West to the East from the North to the South ... and they are not just the Ef of this page... that extended family shall in the flash of an eye become 'exterminat­ion family'!! All I shall say to them is... 'thok do saalon ko'." After his granddaugh­ter Aaradhya and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan tested negative for coronaviru­s and were discharged from hospital, Big B had penned an emotional letter on his blog. "They go home, the little one and Bahurani .. and the tears flow out .. the little one embraces and tells me not to cry ..'you'll be home soon' she assures .. I must believe her." he had written on Monday night. As the day passed by, he sat and contemplat­ed "on that which brings vexation... in averse sleep hours the writing thoughts run through the mind and brain... tomorrow or as soon as it is day break shall I bring it all to book .. scathing, defiant, angered, indignatio­n profound..." Earlier in the day, he had observed: "Dushman banane ke liye zaroori nahi lada jaaye, aap thode kaamyaab ho jaao to wo khairaat mein milenge (In order to make enemies it is not essential to fight .. just be a little successful, you'll get them at a pittance ..)", he explained. Preceded by the carpe diem sentiment which we could all use: "Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional."
