Satyam Bhai - I am a Friend!!



I do not offer olive branch but offer you Roses! Abhaya.

“…. you have such a marvelous mind.. and you are so learned.. each response of yours is a gem worth storing for posterity.. keep writing and enlightening us with your deep sense of knowledge and wisdom.. thank you”

That is what Amitabh Bachchan wrote of you, I begged to differ but did I question your genius altogether, never, not intentionally even if you got such a feeling! Can we just put the day behind us and look forward to more constructive phase of life! I can see you are nodding in affirmative - that is a sign of a genius!

Though I was thinking to include more of my comments and your counter comments I decided to be short, sweet and appreciative, you did respond beautifully though to my comments! thanks!

Dear Satyam bhai!
Good Morning,

I know if you read my today's post here you should get a feel of what I had to say of my last two days of the comments. It sure is my undoing to be thinking to brief brother, but then, if you read carefully, I have never questioned your genius or skills, we disagreed on some counts and that is perfectly all right with me.

I know intelligent people, and i do put you in that frame, even if I do not completely agree with brother's extravagant comments. You did deserve some honors after all but probably he has not been as kind to many others as he has been to you or even to me! I know where or what standard my poetic skills put me - an activity to just write out my thoughts and nothing more than that - yet he says brilliant! And I know it is much less than that!

Why does he have to honor me or you in such great style, you may be deserving it a bit not me in any case! I had been seeing you - not as competitior but also as a fellow blogger who was more skilled than some of us but then as I said his ratings were over the top, and I would say that again- Does his being Amitabh Bachcchan deprive us to weigh and scrutinise his responses to our responses. Before, I say any further than this let me tell you that you do deserve a place on my blog not for these unexpected castigating remarks but for your ability to collect and present your stuff. I think I over reacted to SM contents maybe because I feel too pissed about anyone calling my countrymen slumdogs. I might as well see the movie if Danny drops that part of the name and removes the scene of the Shit jumping! If you do read Hindi there was a poem with these subjects in mind! Ham jhuggi mein rahane valon ko gali ka kutta kahate ho! I am sorry Satyam even God would find it difficult to make me see the slumdog with these two issues not corrected! So please don’t see too much of that anger on that particular post from London tabloids it was not directed unto you it was not even against the Danny Boyle it was against naming of the movie and of the scene.

I only wish you the very best and also should never ever question brother, you probably forgot to read that I can not be an AB even in my next seven births, that was a sort of feeling to express that I actually should not have been saying what I did! It is all right, I am generally never regretful of my acts and I am not here to eat my words but to let you know despite these two posts you are held in very high esteem, though again not as high as brother puts you! I have considered you a friend before I will continue to do so in future. Your comments along with my these comments should find their way on abhayafriend.blogspot.com may be ahead of few others whom I rate higher for my own reasons. Let me be straight on this - you would have otherwise also found the space after some time interval. As a remedial measure to assure you and the rest that confrontation was not the intent yet it did appear as that. Am I not a human being enough to be allowed to err once in a while.

I hope you as well as brother Amitabh would probably get to understand me after this post and possibly overlook the posts of day 328 and 328(i). I am not here to confront or contradict but to be engaged in a constructive mode. Now can I expect a two lines from you stating that you do understand my point of view. That you do think that I can be allowed to be wrong in some of the perceptions specially on trying to educate Amitabh Bachchan!

Abhay I read you well.. as i am certain will Satyam.. it is because we care that we express.. if we did not we would not.. one should embrace this feeling as positive rather than one of dissent..

A note for Abhaya. I have read your latest comment thoroughly as well. If you note I was always in agreement with you. At the very outset I suggest that Amitji had been too kind with his words. I myself think I am not deserving of them!
