Growing pains

Amitabh Bachchan is an avid blogger. Much more regular than I am and I visit his blog every day. For a few days, ironically from the eve of his 66th birthday, he has not blogged (until yesterday) and the reason is known to anyone with access to a newspaper or television.

In a very revealing blog post (Day 472), Amitabh talks about the ordeal he went through. Read it here, and please read it fully. After an initial descriptive tone, the article begins to offer a much closer look into the man. If you ignore the fact that it is Amitabh who is writing this, you can almost see the makings of a haunting short story, with a kicker at the end. Wow!
