Taking to his blog, the veteran actor offered a glimpse into his introspective state of mind.“A quiet contemplated day .. with the self and the surroundings and the circumstances .. so many thoughts and chatters within the self, addressing to the self .. seeking answers .. getting some responses, but mostly almost none and vague ..” Dwelling on the nature of unanswered questions, he spoke about how clarity often remains just out of reach despite constant reflection.
“Each day in the quiet of the moment, the wonder of the World, the wonder of the why what and where .. but never secure in the responses it keeps manufacturing .. so many have spent their life in finding out the why .. the how .. but even they converge on some words that seem to analyse the thought, but never is able to give a finite definitive response..”He further explored the idea that perhaps definitive answers are not meant to exist, suggesting that the very act of questioning gives meaning to thought. He added, “…true .. for if the response was without question, it would not be a response .. it would be the finality of the thought that has provoked you .. in short, there is just one and only one finality ..you came empty handed .. and shall leave similar ..” Reflecting on the elusive nature of truth, Bachchan admitted that the search itself is never-ending.“You search for the truest form, but never does the search end in a find..the find is elusive..as it was designed to be, there shall not be a definite answer to a question..each express has multiple tributaries .. and not all of them converge to the final ..and so .. I continue to think,” he added.
