I also wrote to Amitabh Bachchan on two more occasions on the death anniversaries of Dr. Bachchan! If the superstar did not have time to acknowledge it is quite understandable. I will have a lifetime regret that I could not attend the funeral of Dr. Bachchan because of his being the father of India's biggest superstar! The bundobast and security around his final rites meant the common man could not bid farewell to him on his final journey!
I only wish that Amitabh Bachchan takes initiative to build a memorial for Dr. Harivanshrai Bachchan where matter and material related to Dr. Bachchan is available to the common man. It will be a great service if such centres are enacted at Allahabad, Delhi and Mumbai. ( Rach do ab Nai Madhushala! ).
It will be a perfect way to mark the birth centenary of a great Hindi Poet who was loved by millions!
