Mumbai, Oct 25 (NationPress) The legendary Amitabh Bachchan recently took a moment to contemplate the way time alters individuals, their behaviors, cultural norms, and the world around us.
In a post on his blog, the veteran actor expressed: “As time progresses, the world evolves... attitudes, habits, and cultures shift... people transform... those who were once present are now different... and soon, those who exist 'now' will too be referenced in the past (sic).”
The icon emphasized that there's little benefit in fixating on what once was and urged followers to cherish cherished memories.
“Regrets from the 'then' resonate in the present... they will simply remain memories. Let them exist as memories. Dwelling on them is merely a drain on your energy, focused on 'then'. Respect it and enjoy it — it was a joy 'then' (sic),” he articulated.

“The team, as I mentioned, was resolved to play, even after we offered to forfeit the game the following day, to honor him and also to grieve his sudden departure… However, the Team insisted on playing - in his memory... Our youngest Team member wore his name on his headband during the game... honored and respected (sic).”
He conveyed his admiration for him and the team.
“I hold immense respect for him and the Team... and my best wishes,” Big B concluded.
