Amitabh's blog

For a long time I did not write a blog....because there was no special reason to write a blog.....I convinced myself that there was no need to write a blog all these days as there was nothing worth writing about that occurred to me. But suddenly I found the word "blog" floating around everywhere in the media ....CNNIBN, Times Now, NDTV27,Times of India...to name a few. Amitabh Bachchan has made the "blog" more known outside the geeks...everyone is talking about Amitabh's blog. Amitabh comes out as a simple person with his own grouses about the society, people around and the media, which distort his image as a person with integrity and honesty. Of course what he writes has some news value and the news papers pick them up; for example, his answer to Shatrugun Sinha found a prominent space in Times of India and CNNIBN. His blogs get high response...three to four hundred comments on a day !!!! Would he have time to read and respond to the comments ? I am sure he would not have enough time for that...but the fact that he has been blogging every day from the day he started shows that he is determined to go ahead expressing himself in the cyberworld which gives him an opportunity to present his part of the story. Today's topic on gender bias was interesting; all of us go through such situations when one is accused of something which one has not done (or thought of)....Amitabh has also helped me to revive my almost dead blog. Thank you Mr. Bachchan.
