The Ef is my extended family member whose initial is 'k' .. he sent me this , and i thought it was a good quote to share with the rest of my followers on FB .. some of the followers are English challenged, so I translated the quote to the best of my ability in Hindi .. that translation does not carry the (") mark because it is mine .. and so at the end of the Hindi, there is a ~ mark, with my initials AB, which in Hindi (added the Hindi letters).

He further added, "It is " very strange and sad to note " ( using your words as within quotes ) that you have resorted to chide me , without reading the post carefully .. '" very sad " .. I was going to use your own language and add 'shameful' , but my ethics do not permit me to .. whenever there has been an error on my part and I have been told of it I have never hesitated to either correct it, remove it and have sought an apology .. I am not ashamed of myself despite your rather harsh and obtuse verbosity .. be safe , be in precaution, and if you are from India , stay indoors and do not step out for India is in a lockdown."

Amitabh Bachchan once became a subject of troll for putting up a good morning post at 11.26AM. The actor was mercilessly trolled by social media users in the comments section as they thought that Big B lost track of time in an inebriated state. One user asked in Hindi, "Aaj bahot der mein utri. Lagta hai desi pi aa gaye hain. Aajkal 11:30 baje pratahkaal'. Big B's response to the question about his drinking habits was both witty and in line with his family's literary legacy. He cleverly stated that he doesn't drink himself, but rather, he entertains others with it. He playfully alluded to the title of his late father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan's immensely popular poem, 'Madhushala,' by saying, "Swayam nahi peete, auron ko pila dete hain madhushala." This response not only showcased his wit but also paid tribute to his father's literary work in a lighthearted manner.
