Costume finalization, meeting with Prakash Jha twice/thrice a week, my family, reading scripts and promoting my upcoming film Jugaad are other things keeping me busy. There’s a lot to do and that’s the reason I’m unable to update my blog regularly.<br /><br />I’m in Delhi right now for <em>Jugaad</em>’s promotion. Jugaa, my upcoming film, is a satirical humor with hints of seriousness. <em>Jugaad</em>, as everyone knows, is a frequently used word here. The film deals with this whole system of <em>Jugaad</em>, which will make you laugh and bring tears, hence I suggest it’s a must watch.<br /><br />I will return to Mumbai in a day or two. Its election time now and my friends in Delhi want to know more about my interest in politics. I fear politics however and have never really dreamed of becoming a politician. I’m very happy as an actor and enjoying every bit of it. Now that elections are nearing again, we can see well developed roads and flyovers around. The parties are busy choosing the best candidates for contesting elections. However, our responsibility here is to choose and elect an intelligent and responsible candidate as our representative. <br /><br />I watched <em>Ghajini </em>recently. After a long time I got an opportunity to watch an ultimately revengeful movie. An amazing watch it was. Also, it freshened up my childhood memories of watching these sorts of movies. We all have grown up watching this genre. Aamir has truly justified his role with immense honesty, which I appreciate. The movie was a fully commercial one. This is a quality which I also appreciate in Amitabh Bachchan. Even in all types of commercial <em>masala</em> films he does, he maintains that honestly in the character. Recently I attended the function of Amitabh Bachchan’s book release where I met both Aamir and Amit ji. Meeting Amit ji after a long time was wonderful and this made my memories afresh. And sometimes it’s unbelievable to imagine that he is the same person whose dialogues in <em>Deewar</em> filled me with adventure. I don’t even believe that I was standing next to him. May God bless him a long life.<br /><br />It’s time to leave now. I am meeting some journalist friends for promoting <em>Jugaad</em>. These days I’m only talking about <em>Jugaad</em> and it’s really tiring. However, reaching out to viewers through media is an actor’s commitment which needs to be fulfilled.<br /><br />Till then…<br /><br />Love<br />Yours<br />Manoj Bajpayee</span>Manoj Bajpayeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02369346061375348181noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378501527841815983.post-89380895916550835352008-09-28T21:42:00.003+05:302008-09-28T21:45:20.200+05:30It scares me now...Long back, when I was in class 5th, we went to a school trip to Kashmir via Delhi. We stayed in Delhi and visited the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, etc. We clicked our photographs in a stylized way from various angles, under the Qutub Minar. The photographs are still lying somewhere in some corner. In those days it wasn’t even a trend to plant a bomb under such places that can snatch an innocent life of a child and lives of many more. All this frights me now and I feel scared for everyone who goes out to shop, goes to school, who watches film in a Cineplex, who wants to enjoy in a fair. I feel scared for people who go to crowded places for hanging out or just for buying something.<br /><br />Today, I’m even scared of my life. It seems to me that the death wouldn’t come because of some disease rather it would come with a bomb blast. Why are people dying? What’s there fault? The ones who are killing; what reason do they have? I pondered a lot over this question, but it seems to be beyond the scope of my understanding. Has anyone a right to kill the innocents? The need of the hour is to be alert and take care of ourselves. It has become important that we fight against this terror together, as no one else would do it for us.<br /><br />I pay my tribute to the innocent boy who lost his life in the Mehrauli Blast. My feelings are with everyone who suffered injuries in this act.<br /><br />I just felt like writing after this unfortunate and sad incident. In the end, I’d like to add one more thing. To my friend Imdad, I would say, please don’t get angry and if you already are, I apologize. It’s been a very long time now and it sometimes gets really difficult to recall. Be happy wherever you are. May God bestow all his blessings on you and your family.<br /><br />Love<br />Yours,<br />Manoj BajpayeeManoj Bajpayeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02369346061375348181noreply@blogger.com0
