Celebrating Yash Chopra on His 93rd Birth Anniversary! 🎥❤️

I owe my journey into the world of cinema to Yash Chopra—my inspiration, and the unparalleled maestro of Bollywood romance, who would have turned 93 today. I was lucky to have shared many special moments with him. He was the Chief Guest at the launch of my book ‘The Great Indian Dream’, he gave the Mahurat Shot of my directorial venture, ‘Rok Sako To Rok Lo’, and I traveled with him to Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata as a part of the FICCI team lead by him, lobbying to corporatise the film industry. He would tell me ‘when you speak I feel Shah Rukh is speaking’ — a complement I hold very dear to my heart. Though he couldn’t be personally present, he accepted our Power Brands Hall of Fame induction through a video message. But despite all the interactions and memories, I somehow feel luckiest that just weeks before his passing, I could write a timely tribute of mine for him (carried by about 24 newspapers & 15 magazines)— my humble attempt to capture the magic of a filmmaker who turned love, longing, and melody into an art form that skipped hearts and defined generations.

As I wrote in the article, “To me, he is a great psychologist and an intellectual more than anything else; and perhaps more than the so-called intellectual art film-makers too. To understand the pains of the era of the license raj and workers' exploitation to the era of liberalised romanticism— and deliver in both those times commercially successful, timeless, classic hits is exemplary. His biggest miracle was perhaps at the age of 65, when he directed Dil Toh Pagal Hai. It really had all the beatings, whistling, feelings and cravings of a pagal dil. After I watched the film, my only wonder was how he could get right the feelings and too young to know about a longings of an 18-year old kid's heart? Exceptional. To me, Dil Toh Pagal Hai was his most diflicult creation. His son Aditya Chopra had just given DDLJ and that was too big a benchmark to live up to. Yet, Yash Chopra did.”

He didn’t just make movies; he created dreams that resonated across cultures, inspiring filmmakers and romantics alike—including me.

His legacy lives on — in my memories, and the hearts of millions.

On 6th June 2021 on this page, I said, India’s COVID deaths are at least 5 million (https://www.facebook.com/share/195ANKogf4/?mibextid=wwXIfr). A year later on 6th May 2022, WHO said it was at least 4.5 million. Modi government maintained 3.5 lac. Finally this year, on 9th May it admitted that it was at least 1.9 million. I’m sure it was was far more. Because on 15th May it admitted Bihar and Gujarat’s death toll was 30 times higher. Why would rest of the states report honestly if Bihar and our model state Gujarat reported only 3%? By the same parameter total deaths could even be 3.5 lacs * 30 = 10.5 Million. Let’s assume other states were very honest, even then it will never be less than 5 million.

This is the kind of cover up the government did.

Shame.

Living healthily for 100+ years & beyond should be the new normal! Eat less, very less. Sleep Well. Get regularly tested. Work out hard. Just don’t make your chest size 56”

After starting my fitness journey in Jan 2014 & hitting 250+ training hours per year till 2022 and earning my 3rd Dan in Kick Boxing, since Jan 2023:

Every I have hit more than 15k steps.
Every I have hit more than 60k steps.
Every I have hit more than 45 training hrs— a combination of , , , &

That’s 2000+km or 3 million+ steps a year & 500+ training hrs a year since 2023 ()!

It’s a part of my theory* of — something I have been studying since 2008 & writing on since 2009— more than a decade before the longevity fad emerged (a link to one of my first articles in 2009 https://www.dailyindian.com/2009/10/14/the-desirability-of-living-forever/)
