"It cannot be any better than the presence of the heavens about me .. my well wishers .. they go through so much personal effort to prepare that personalised card that touch of handicraft, a little something, so thoughtfully put together ... the most expensive diamond in the world would not compare with this .. and I thank the english language for constructing this expression of 'thank you' or my own tongue in the gentleness of a 'anek anek dhanyavaad' ..," he further added.
Talking about aging process, the Shahenshah of Bollywood, wrote,"It is 71 now ... just last year or just the other day it was 70 ! The years seem to pass by faster now than they did before. There was a desire to push the pedal all along those early years , to mature, to become adult, to bring on greater age ... now you depress the brakes pedal with equal effort, and hope to stem the slide as it were .. no not I, I accept the years the giving up on time, on age ... it shall happen to us all .. that is the commonality of the process of life .. we are blessed, all of us ... !!Many that document moments wish for me to relive the past, give dimensions for the future, the plans now and beyond ..."
"How does one accomplish this ... do we really know the past in its reality, do we really ? And can there be a process to know the future, even if it were to be conjecture ? I would imagine not !! Many have better capability and succeed in doing so. Many do not. I am with the latter, and happy and content with it. Let what comes tomorrow lie in store, in oblivion and in frozen stone - better it be like that than melt away its originality to one that cannot be comprehended !! I embrace your being .. cling to it as close to my heart as possible .. its tepid warmth singes me with deep emotion, and my lips move to formation in addressing that one deep utterance ..," he concluded.
