Amitabh Bachchan Completes 10 Years Of Blogging: Here's What Makes Big B a Social Media Rockstar!
Supplemented with a rich vocabulary, coupled with prose and poetry, Big B's blogs have been an enjoyable read.
Boy! It's been a decade since Amitabh Bacchan took to blogging. It feels like it was just yesterday that Big B started writing those exceptionally inspiring, highly motivating and assuredly engaging pieces on his widely-followed and much-admired public forum. First off, we congratulate the legend for giving us the much-needed window of opportunity by virtue of which one could take a peek inside his both professional and personal space. Thank you Mr Bachchan for keeping us informed, entertained, and at times even enlightened on a range of topics.
From poetry to politics and from the cinema to philosophy--Mr Bachchan has been writing relentlessly on a variety of subjects all these years, on a regular basis. And maintain we must that he has always been ever so gracious, if required judicious, mostly free flowing and almost always inspiring with his words! How does he keep himself clued in on what's been going on--and with enviable enthusiasm at that--is the subject that has sparked curiosity among his fans and well-wishers.
After clocking 10 years with his blogging, the 75 year old megastar expressed his journey as a blogger and how it all began. "10 years! April 17, 2008 a few words went out to the world of the airs... And in the waves of connection some of them carried a recognise of them and sent some sentiments back .. and the next and the next and the next... And 10 years went by...,"
"I knew no one... And neither did any of you... And then we all came to know each other and built a home... The warmest and most hospitable in the entire world," Bachchan stated. The veteran actor said for him, every day was a "celebration" and every day is lived in harmony was "the ultimate celebration". He's also added, "It is not just the continuity of my writings... It is also the continuity of your feelings as well... When you do not respond, I fear there has been a loss... A loss is unbearable and so it remains constant... The joint family of the Ef... The Ef does not need elaboration... It is now in developed character, a world , a living, a constant by itself .. it has strength of its existence and the affection of millions..."
As fans we relate to, and agree with, every word and sentiment Mr Bachchan has expressed. We think Big B is the ultimate rockstar of the social media too. He is quick to respond and gives his fans insights into the recent happenings, not just from India but from the globe over, with his writings. He gives ample anecdotes and stories that keep his posts engaging. The eagerness with which he shares his informed views is simply unmatched.
And then his language! Supplemented with a rich vocabulary, coupled with prose and poetry, Big B's blogs have been such an enjoyable read. Mr Bachchan we must thank you for giving us a platform to connect with you on a daily basis and also for giving us an opportunity to be a part of your extended family. Thanks again for being reflective and responsive in equal measures . Here's hoping -you will continue to express, in the manner only you could, with your inimitable style.
