Most respected brother -
The living legend - THE AMITABH BACHCHAN OF CINE WORLD..
My most sincere greetings and much respectful charan Sparsh..
First and foremost an idea to organise a congregation of FmXt.. well, I think the best way possible could have been to organise it on a city level.. for example Mumbai and Pune could be the first two cities where such Interactional atmosphere could be created..
In my view.. a mere meeting would not be much of a help.. so I decided to have a conference on Amitabh Bachchan and Indian Cinema- The Viewers Perspective.. Where one could be shown the clips from some of the most successful films where you acted.. It could also be extended to talks by some eminent filmologists on your contribution to Hindi Cinema in the hardcore four decades where you struggled.. you succeeded.. rose like an angry young man.. the downtimes.. followed by KBC and return to the mainstream Cinema.. the blog and its great impact on us.. and maybe only if you consider it appropriate a select few from the FmXt could also be given a minute to say a line or two .. all this if it could be compiled into a compact 2 to 3 hours show.. one could then book Tata theatre for a couple of weekends.. well, well, I would not mind anything else but open air arena could mean more of publicity than a meeting with FmXt.. You would need to identify some similar places in other towns.. I may not have much to say there.. so you can drop atleast one member of FmXt who has willingly chosen not to speak.. yet at the same time I would wish that you do send a few passes to me.. two and half passes at that.. one for me and my wife and the half for my son Amrit.. it is all right if you are not able to oblige.. I shall not mind if the tickets fit into my budget and are also available.. such a show would be sold out even before the windows open.. Oh.. I forgot.. you could definitley ask some of your co-stars ver the years to join if they could.. most of the actresses like Jaya ji herself, Hema ji, Rakhi ji, Zeenat Aman and if possible even Rekhaji.. ( if Jaya madam allows..!!) Among the actors I would rather love the presence of Dilip saab ( Not for Shakti but for being a role model to someone as great as you..), Shashi Kapoor Sahab, Mr. Vinod Khanna, Rishi Kapoor, Dharmendra Paaji and the Superstar Rajesh Khanna and maybe even Shotgun Sinha.. and if Pran Sahab too could make it.. it should only add diamonds to the glitterati.. I know his long presence on the Indian screen has not yey been awarded a Dada Saheb Falke or any other major life time achievement award for his immense contribution..

So much for the show.. so little for its agenda.. It should be less formal and other than the clippings.. you could in fact introduce your co-workers in your own definitive style.. I would not mind being a silent watcher.. The movies that I would choose for clipping should include some sequels from the following :Amar Akbar Anthony (Gisele’s favourite), Deewaar (my and half of india’s favourite), Sholay (Entire country’s favourite) and also other films like Saat Hindustaani ( The beginning of your kahani..), Trsihul, Don, Naseeb (chal chal mere bhaai..), the inimitable Don ( Khaaike paan banaras vala).. Shakti ( the battle of the giants), Hera-Pheri, Adalat, Kabhi-kabhie, Muqaddar Ka Sikanadar, Mohabbatein, Black, Sarkar, Virudh.. There neeed not be any commentary associated with the clippings it must be run just like a film made out of films.. no sequence is important and How did I miss Anand, Abhimaan and Chupake-Chupake the rest of the best could be picked in poster time a 10 seconds clipping of your other important films like Silsila, Yaraana, Dostana, Satte pe Satta, Sharaabi, Coolie, Kasme Vaade, Mr. Natwarlal, Khoon Pasina, Do Anjaane, Bemisaal, Jurmaana, Laavaris and whatever that you feel you did your best the one I like is Mai Azaad hoon.. in fact that song .. jitane baaju utane sar.. gin le dushamn dhyaan se..
Well, I realise it is a very toughproposition for a one man Abhaya Sharma to be able to do complete justice to such a show and its contents.. I have just broadly defined the outline.. I think Abhishek with the help of some young blood like Ritesh his friend could do more justice to the final outcome.. I know you would not find it embarassing once the show starts.. you may feel awkward if you were to organise.. but should not feel restless and out of place if yo just have to be a part of it by your mere presence among the ones like us.. those who have held you in highest esteem..
I can only hope my idea was clear these days I am highly in an indecisive mode and reckless in approach.. depsite my sincere wish i am not able to find time to be here or at Facebook.. of course one part of my atention is about the swine flu.. and the impact that it is likely to make on our lives in the next coming six seven months.. a huge gathering that I thought could be organised around your birthday on 11th October does not appear to be such a great idea with air-borne H1N1 influenza circling around us looking for opportunities to break loose on us..
Has no one approached you for advertisement of informaton about the deadly virus and the kind of care it warrants.. I know every one wants to promote themselves.. yet I know for sure that in India you and your voice counts a lot.. people would stop for a while if you say the same words which the medical team.. ministerial delegates or any other avenue which wants to highlight our concern about the unfortunate swine flu.. let us see if someone reads this approaches you or even SRK or Hrithik for that matter.. John too has a pleasant smile and is a succesful model.. Our fight against H1N1 has to be much stronger than what it appears right now..
More later
(sorry for a lot of incoherent thoughts mingled up aimlessly and turning out a Khichri of the sort.. Take the better discard the rest..!)
