Blogging.................!!!

Who says Bollywood stars are an insulated lot...................?
Not their fans at least.....................
Ever since the baap of all actors, Amitabh Bachchan publicly announced that he has started blogging on Bigb.bigadda.com, his blog is inundated with messages from thousands of fans. Bloggers have found the perfect medium to bridge the gap and stay tuned into updates on their favourite icons’ lives. Fans believe this is an intimate form of communication, almost like an entry into the star’s inner world.
No wonder star blogs have become hopelessly addictive. Be it aamirkhan.com or mynameiskaran.com (Karan Johar) or duskadum.blogpsot.com (Salman Khan), or rgvvarma.spaces.live.com (Ram, Gopal Varma)…Bollywood personalities are hooked to this medium as they find it a personal canvas to vent their emotions and express their opinions. Amitabh Bachchan, who is currently on his Unforgettable tour in the US, has been blogging at all odd hours practically every single day. Sometimes his entries are short and crisp and he’s instantly apologetic about the lack of time.
There are other days where he finds it hard to conceal his elation at the response to the tour. His childlike glee is evident in an excerpt from his blog:


LOS ANGELES!! LOS ANGELES!! LOS OF ANGELES!!
What an audience! What a show! What response! Simply incredible!
My chest still whirs, my nose still runs and my voice seems to be coming from some other sound box, but I just do not care. Last night took care of everything. Your prayers and good wishes took care of me and I am eternally grateful.
