From lecherous hooting in 'aaj rapat jayen' to mouthing 'pain is my destiny'...

From dancing in gay abandon to 'pag ghungroo' to breathless anticipation as Babu walks up to me...

From openly sobbing in Mili to giggling to Pran's caustic one-liners...

From watching his co-stars elevate in his presence, and yet, respectfully, dim away in his brilliance...

Ultimately leaving me with a sense of deep reverence, an intense love for this man...

Thanks for helping me feel alive all over again, Amitabh ji...
