Do YOU read the BIG Blog ??



When Amitabh Bachchan started a blog about 2 months back, the whole blogosphere came alive with this news. That big a person using this medium to voice his thoughts was certainly a big deal for all his blogospheric fans. I, for one, immediately subscribed to his feeds – BIG MISTAKE !!


The first post titled “My First Day on the Blog” was quickly followed by another one called “Day 2 on the blog” the very next day . . .and I wondered how he takes out time to write such long post from his “busy” schedule.


The next day, to my utter bewilderment, came another post, titled, yet again, “Day 3” ! ( He’s new, I thought. Will learn to put suitable titles on the posts. ) But on the same day, there were innumerable posts containing interviews to various newspapers, magazines, etc. ( Who reads those many posts on one day ?? . . . let alone write them ?? . . and I accept I didn’t read them . . but what was the point??)


And then came


Day 4

..

Day 5

..

Day 6

..

.. you get the point

..

..Day 28

..

..(Man, this guy doesn’t need a break! . . . why?!!?)

..

..a new article every day – each one sending “much love” to the readers.


..and as if one post a day wasn’t enough, there were days with posts like Day 31, Day 31(i), Day 31(ii) !!


This again continued for a while until tragedy struck – the real pain in the you-know-where – mobile blogging !! (AAARRGHH !!) Random updates of what he was doing, profuse apologies for not posting, and of course, “MUCH LOVE” and its wagging tail, were posted every 2 hours.


“Rushing to airport. Apologies blog partially written. Dozed off. Will complete on set in Mumbai. Love and more.”


“Finally in Mehboob. ! Rushing with wig and make up . . . And then convert to the Genie for Aladin. . Love”


“ In the loo for morning potty . . . constipated.”


(Ok..ok..i made up that last one . . .)


Then again, there was a recent post that contained the names of everyone who had commented – in alphabetical order!! You won’t believe me but my computer actually hung while attempting to open that page. Even machines are protesting now. . . humans lost their patience long back . . .


If I remember correctly, Mr.Bachchan once claimed to be a great fan of Aamir Khan. Well Mr.B, you certainly haven’t noticed how often he blogs. His readers actually WAIT for his next post. In your case, sir, we are waiting for a teeny weeny little pause in your never ending blogging spree. We all love you Bachchan ji, but we don’t . . . I repeat, DON’T want minute by minute updates!


As soon as I post this, I’m going to head to my Google Reader to unsubscribe from his blog. I’d rather be content with news articles like these:



(PS: Apologies to anyone out there reading, for the delay in posting. And yes, much love.)

Heer,loved this.
Mr.Bachchan is such a hypocrite-or comes across as one. Is his blog the level of his writing skills? If so,please let me add that you,me,tinni are much better.And the snide digs at SRK,Aamir,Salim Khan,Sinha and particularly the critic Khalid Mohammed sound like a child throwing a tantrum-and also are not in good taste.
I studied Harivanshrai Bachchan in school[ our school] and am quite apalled.I did admire Mr.B in several movies in my time,but now I find him boring and even,childish- how sad.. he was an actor I admired... maybe I still do.As a human being he has fallen in my estimation.
You have written this article very well. Am very proud of you.
Much Love.

thanks a lot di!
the few posts that i managed to read completely were all about how he and his family are wrongly portrayed in the media...and in defense to the "fabrication" ..and that is so different from what we knew him to be before the blog.

heer,I was surprised to read his blog-thought he had class.

Unfortunately his association with Amar Singh and others of his ilk have changed that.. what a pity.
Keep writing.love lots.
