Welcome.
First of all, I haven't written a blog in a couple of years so I might be a bit rusty, but hopefully not boring...
I read the blog of my childhood idol, Amitabh Bachchan last night. I am so in awe of this superstar of the millenium, who rocked The Great Gatsby premiere this week.
Mr. Bachchan posted his blog at about 3am in NYC after having to retype it due to some posting glitch. The dedication he has to communicate with his fans and making time to express his daily thoughts is unmatchable. Reading his blog inspired me to start blogging again too. If there's a muse one should have, there can be no better one than Mr. Bachchan.

I have had the good fortune to meet Mr. Bachchan (one of the most memorable days of my life). I had the golden opportunity to create the marketing campaign for his seminal TV series - Kaun Banega Crorepati (India's version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire), when it launched in the US on DIRECTV.
Mr. Bachchan was the most professional person I have ever come across - and he's a true legend. Fortunately, I was able to meet Mr. Bachchan on a couple of other occasions and am dying to work with him one day (hello Universe)!
My first memories of being in the film business stem from my fascination and God like worship of Amitabh Bachchan. I would watch his films such as Yaarana and Pukar over and over and over again, literally hundreds of times. I would dance to his songs in school functions in India, and that idolization carried on when we moved to Queens, NY. What I may have lacked in rhythm, I made up for in sheer joy.
It is no secret that Mr. Bachchan is one of the most versatile and professional actors in the world. Always punctual, always a man of his word, always humble. It bothers me that western audiences haven't had a chance to see how he lights up the big screen, and the enigmatic power he brings to his performances.
Go see The Great Gatsby and fall in love with Amitabh Bachchan (even though he jokes he's in the film for a just a minute or two). You might just marathon a bunch of his movies on Netflix when you get home. Thank You for reading. Thank You Mr. Bachchan for your presence in my life through the silver screen. And Thank You Universe (TYU). --Nayan Padrai
