Determination

OK. Back to Post.

Humm... I don't know how clear I remember this story but I would love to share whatever I remember. I heard it long time back from Sr Bachchan himself  in one of his interviews or may be from his blog.

Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Amitabh's father and a famous poet of his time, used to go for a walk every morning. Before he departs for morning walk, he wakes up Amitabh. Amitabh, being an obedient son, wakes up on his first call but goes back to sleep the moment his dad leaves home for walk. He enjoys the 40 mins sleep before his dad returns home and pretends to be awake since his dad woke him up. I m sure, father knew about this cute habit of his son.


Anyway, that’s not the best part or the story which I wanted to share. There is something significant which used to take place everyday for continuous 3 months during Mr.Harivansh’s morning walk. There used to be a big stone on the way to his walk path. He thought it would look really good in the house garden and will be of some use instead of just lying on the road useless. The stone was too huge to lift by one person and it wasn’t a time where Mr Bachchan could afford to pay someone for such labour.


He decided to move the heavy stone an inch everyday. He continued doing so for constant 3 months and one day he brought the precious (now!) stone to the gate.

The stone is still there at Big B’s place which reminds him of the determination before he leaves home for work everyday.
