Blogging - Amitabh Bachchan Style

Just think if I write on my Blog that today I am having Cold or I write that I am having acute pain in my tooth.............................what shall be your reaction.........................I can easily think that many of you shall say that I have started posting "Bull Shit" on my Blog, as you expect me to post some relevant stuff or stories of interest to you. But if it is "Amitabh Bachchan", the Great Super Star of Indian Bollywood, then people shall have different reactions.

For the knowledge of my readers, let me cite over here (who do not know) that India's Great Super Star "Mr. Amitabh Bachchan" started Blogging around two months back & from last few weeks I am regularly going through his Blog.

Though it is interesting for me also to go through a celebrity blog but here are few entries from his Blog (these were posted by him through his mobile) on "MoBlog" at his Blog.

Jun 20, 2008: The cold persists. But must push the body. Got work to do. Shooting and travel and blog. Tonight Lucknow for SR yatra. More later.

Interestingly, hundreds of his fans got worried for him after reading that & hundreds commented for that on his Blog enquiring his health (read cold)..................

Yes, for a celebrity like "Amitabh Bachchan"......"Sab Jayaj Hai (Everything is valid)" & if his fans get worried for him for that, it is his celebrity status & I am with their feelings for the Living God called "Amitabh Bachchan". Below is another entry on his MoBlog.

Jun 22, 2008: Horror. . Its my tooth now. .acute pain on right side. . Just been to dentist. . Taking medication and running to studio. Late. . So annoying. .

Dear Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, now you must have come to know, how your cold & acute pain in your tooth start worrying your Mad Fans & I can imagine well that many of them might have been praying to the God whole day to get rid of you of your cold & toothache!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peepal weds Neem tree!!!!!!

Whether Aishwarya Rai married a tree before she wed Abhishek, may be debatable ( Amitabh Bachchan denied such reports after her marriage to Abhishek) but here is a bizarre marriage that actually happened between two Trees in Southern India.

Villagers of a non-descript hamlet Elakampalayam near Sirumuga village in Tamil Nadu state of India carried out a wedding between 'Neem' and 'Peepal' trees in an effort to spread the message to save trees & forests which are a boon of nature & for keeping the environment pollution-free.

The marriage was solemnized by priest of Balamuniyappa temple in the village amidst chanting of hymns and Nadaswaram recital, similar to a typical south Indian marriage.

The priest tied the nuptial knot on the Neem tree on behalf of the 'bridegroom' Peepal.

Both the trees were adorned with flowers. Neem tree was given a bridal look by draping a yellow silk saree over it while peepal was covered with a golden-silk saree, according to villagers who attended the 'marriage function'.

After the marriage, around 100 villagers assembled there blessed the 'couple' by throwing the 'sacred rice' mixed with vermilion and sandal in line with the tradition.

Amitabh Bachchan condemned by US Hindu reform group

As per a report A US-based international Hindu reform organisation has expressed disapproval of the ritualistic ceremonies performed by Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan for his son Abhishek and fiancée Aishwarya Rai.

Aishwarya is a Manglik (astrologically Mars-bearing), which is believed to have negative consequences for her impending marriage. The actress is said to have married a peepal tree at Benaras, a banana tree at a Bangalore temple and a god's idol in Ayodhya.

The organisation Navya Shastra commends the Bachchans for their Hindu religiosity and charitable works but is extremely concerned about their actions, which will have an unhealthy impact on their fan base.

Before announcing their engagement, Abhishek and Aishwarya performed a series of poojas (offerings) at the Kashi Vishwanath temple and the Sankat Mochan temple in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. After their engagement, the couple also sought the blessings of the deity at the Vindhyavasini Temple.

The organisation opines that astrology and similar unscientific practices should be renounced in marital matchmaking and other everyday activities in Hindu society.
