Elephants teach us to take care of our family, however old a member gets they never abandon a weaker member of their herd. They have "nursing units" and "juvenile-care units" within the usually nine groups in their herd. The female matriach leads the herd until she is too weak or dies, and then only her eldest daughter leads the herd.

Dear Rakesh Bakshi ... Ur book totally made me cry. Here's why..

Dear Rakesh Bakshi ...

Ur book totally made me cry. Here's why..

My uncle was diagnosed with stage 2 brain tumor. It was sudden, and needless to say it was a serious jolt to not only him, but to all of us. Especially to me, as he practically raised me like his own child, while Papa kept getting transferred and Maa following him like a dutiful wife.

The tumor was treated, by gods grace, but it took a lot out of him. His energy, his smile, and a lot of his memories.. He was lost, irritable and difficult to handle.

I am in Pune, and work as an R.J. much as I would like to, I did not get to meet my Uncle that often. but this time when I went to see him, I came back with a smile in my heart and peace in my soul. And that is only because of your book and those 12 inspiring people who have bared their soul to you, the 12 directors.

I took with me the copy you had sent me long back.. for my uncle and kept reading out passages to him from the book, and when I stopped he started reading the book... As much as he could with his weak eye sight. And he finished the book in 2 days flat!.

His confidence returned, and he seemed to have found some solace in the words you penned. The stories brought him vigour and it seemed like a sign from god, who was asking of him to go on.

I thank you and each and every director for helping us keep the faith and going strong, no matter what.

Blessed be!

Regards

Apurva

(Dear RJ Apurva I am speechless, numb, with emotion, and would like your dear uncle to know that the courage he saw reflect in our book is actually in him too. Get well soon to him.

Hello dear Palak Muchhal and Palash Muchhal

I was hugely inspired by your initiative to help the needy, right from your childhood! Wow! God Bless. I felt dwarfed in front of you and Azhar Maqsusi. However, even streams contribute to make Oceans. :)

And the blessing you received, for what you did to help others, (Charity shows, music and singing) somehow became your career path and life's passion - Singing and music and charity.

I am certain with a journey like you both had, you both will appreciate most my book #DirectorsDiaries , which I now feel I was privileged to have gifted to you on this hugely inspiring tv show #AajKiRaatHaiZindagi

My thinking cap.

My thinking cap! ;)

If you think you are beaten, you are!

If you think you dare not, you won't!

If you like to win, but you think you can't. it is almost certain you won't!

If you think you'll lose, you've lost!

For out of the world we find success begins with a fellow's will

It's all in the state of mind!

If you think you are outclassed, you are!

You've got to think high to rise

You've got to be sure of yourself, before you can ever win a prize!

Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man

But soon or late the one who wins is the man or woman WHO THINKS THEY CAN!

- Walter-D-Wintle

(Costume BURNING WOMAN @ Sats. :)))

I wrote the following poem as the epilogue, to our book #DirectorsDiaries because I felt it reflects what I heard, felt, learnt over the last two years meeting and interviewing 33 directors. In some way, it symbolizes what else one needs to become a director, a musician, a writer, an actor, an artist of any kind.

Fall in love, just fall in love,

Fall in love, just fall in love with life.

Be it the warm dusk, or the fiery dawn,

Or the stars the night wears like a crown,
