Thought Fragments

I remember the quotes about ‘Time’. Time – the Enigmatic. Time – a Riddle. Time – the Saviour. Time – the Omnipotent.

Past, the source of learning. The visual records stored in our brains. The flashback technique used in the movies.

Future, the opportunity to apply learning. Future – made of dreams and aspirations.

Present, the ‘here and now’. Present – beyond description.
Before I attempt to describe, they become a part of past. I fail to arrest my present moment. If I try to describe my future moment, I am no more in the present. I wonder, how to be in the present…! How to be in the ‘here and now’…this moment. This pursuit, this challenge, itself becomes my prime task.

Thought fragments hustle; I am not able to hold them with me. Before I think about my thought, they are gone.

Being a part of AB's EF

I am so thrilled to be a part of the EF. A kind of child-like pleasure! Wondering what on Earth is EF?
Well, then, I would say that you have not lived your life enough, if you are not a part of EF!
EF is the ‘Extended Family’ of Amitabh Bachchan. How did I become a part of it?
Just naturally. No efforts. You just need to read his posts and then, you have become a part of his EF!
The wonder is that everyone who reads the posts feels that AB speaks to him/her. And, you are here not to come up with literary masterpieces. You are here to get connected to people around you, by sharing your thoughts. And, AB has been highly successful in achieving that. Even if he has not been a Bollywood figure, I think, just with his ability to influence and inspire people with the way he shares his thoughts, he would have been able to get connected with his EF.
I just commented on one of his posts – just sharing with you…

Hi AB,

I realise, I don't know how to call you...! And, AB, to me is so unemotional - I know that I don't like to call you that way - I don't get any other option... :-(

It is the first time ever in my life that I am writing to a film actor. It is not about the profession, it is just that I have never felt an emotional connection with anyone in the film industry that has forced me to write to them.
But, YOU... what powerful use of language!

I am not sure if I have seen all your movies; I am not sure if I will be able to critically appreciate the characters that you played; I am also not sure if I admire all the characters that you have played so far...
Nonetheless, all that I know is that I just...LOVE you. For being so open. For all the warmth and love that you shower on your EF...

I thought I knew very little about you... But after reading your post, I think I know you... I know you well enough to connect to you instantly, to love you unconditionally...
Thanks for being YOU.

You don't know me. I don't know if we will ever meet... It is okay. There are no conditions... Just love you because you are such a beautiful human being!
