Age normally leads to seclusion, far away from the spotlight so that one can really ease off. But that is for any normal man. Not for the Phenemenon...the super star...the one who rules the hearts and the minds...not for Big B.
Once again the shadow of the Colie accident has cast itself on the legend and his intestines cried out. He battles the pain and the disease. Never one who gives up.
But the fact that is truely remarkable is that even the good old age of 66 does not deter this star from being in the thick of events- live shows, shooting for films, TV, advertising. I really do not know many 66 years old ( or young?) who would be jofully dancing across the globe? He performed on stage across the world- "The Unforgettables", shot for films and yet has time to blog! Whew!
He is a lesson to those who have to make a mark in this world. I look upon him not just as a super star of the film industry but as a model for the GenNext. Indians normally consider 60 years as that benchmark from where expectations begin to decline. Once a Senior Citizen, one gets or rather desires to get, the concessions for non performance. But the Big B has set a new vision, a new attitude to even those who have spent their life well. He becomes a role model for those in the age group of 12 to 72!!
Perhaps a new definition of ageing?
A new attitude towards work where age is of no consequence.
He shows how discipline in life is to be valued. How a systematic approach coupled with dedication brushes aside the rambling of age.
There is actually no age for retirement. It is all in the heart, in the attitude, in the approach.
My one very dear friend may label me as a Big B fan and hence prejudiced. But the fact remains, this man is an enigmatic performer, who is the very fountainhead of energy and vision.
He preaches that laurels of the past need the committment of today to build the laurels for tomorrow.
Can this be denied?
