Something that struck me when I read an article on Amir Khan, Actor in today's Trivandrum Times of Times of India.
1. He felt a sense of fear every time he embarked on something new.
This has happened to me umpteen times all my life. There are palpitations and apprehensions. It is the fear to face the unknown. I shiver from my innards. I felt that even the day before yesterday, when Evana came back from the school with a bad cough.
I phoned the Doctor. The appointment was at 6.30pm. I knew the traffic would be pretty heavy onward and homeward.
I wondered how I'd go through that. I was dithering. But the child needed the doctor much more than my apprehensions that were weighing me down.
I went ahead. It was mayhem on the road to and fro - more than 10km one way. But once I was on the road I found the apprehensions withering . I knew I could do it. I did it.
I thought of you. I could see the forces ranged against you and backing you. Add to that your own doubts on how you could tackle the avaricious and the selfish
2. I am going back to Amir Khan. He recalls the premiere show of QSQT - Qayamat Se Qayamat Tk - in 1988. He says,
"I remember walking into the film with no one recognising me, and when the film got over and I walked out, I was mobbed."
That day is not far off.
