What Amitabh said about work
Taking to his blog early Tuesday morning, Amitabh said, “It is rather early for the Blog .. but some meetings have been set for an early morning hence this timing.”
He added, “Work efforts slowly fructifying and hope that one can be occupied in the time of work .. it is essential .. absence of work has detrimental feelings , and so work work work .. till you can.”
Amitabh recently hosted the 17th season of the popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati. He bid farewell to the season with an emotional and heartfelt message to the viewers. He said, “Sometimes, we live a moment so deeply and get so lost in it that when it reaches its final point, it feels as though it had just begun, and yet it is ending so soon. Everything feels like it happened just yesterday. I am about to begin the last day of this game, going through these emotions. I’ve spent one-third of my life…more than one-third of my life, with all of you, and it has been a great privilege.”
A few months ago, Amitabh shared that he was working till 5.30 AM in the morning. He admitted, “Kept working till 5:30 in the morning .. and just forgot there was important Blog work and responses to give.. so apologies and regrets .. But regret never for the Ef (perhaps he means work).”
