“My job is now insured.”
Shortly after Amitabh Bachchan expressed concerns for his career, a fan of the legendary actor offered him a rather interesting job.
Amitabh noted that he would not be allowed to return to work under the Maharashtra government’s amended shooting guidelines as he is a senior citizen.
These guidelines have been set out for a post-pandemic world. However, those over 50-years-old are advised not to return to work.
Taking to his blog, the actor shared his worry. He wrote:
“There are of course many other anxieties that trouble the mind. Government authorities have stipulated that those at 65 age and above cannot go out to work.
“A few days back that age limit was reduced even further to 50 yrs.”
However, the actor received another job offer. Sharing the message he had received, Amitabh wrote:
“Expect the unexpected from the Ef ever .. and one such brightness evolves in this creativity which kind of reflects one of my posers in the Blog.”
In fact, the “brightness” Amitabh Bachchan is referring to is the job offer he received from his fan. The letter read:
“Dear Mr. Amitabh Bachchan …
“Re: You Application for an alternate job vide Day 4539 …
“In view of the permanent kind of temporary moratorium on work imposed on you by the government due to your age, and the loss of revenue caused by the same, we are pleased to inform you that your application for an alternate job is temporarily under review for permanent reason …
“By the way, before we forget, please register our request that if you understand anything of what we are saying, please let us know …
“So, here is our offer – sir, if you wish to do nothing, yet you want to feel as if you are something, then we suggest that you become the President of the United States …
“But if you want to do something which will last forever, then we suggest that you open a Peace Shop … Sell Peace … that shop can never go out of business …
“Let us draft a flowchart for you to prepare for the venture …
“1) Vision – To provide a rolling plan for ways and means to acquire and sustain peace …
“2) Mission – Make sure that it remains a rolling plan … Peace alive is peace dead …
“3) Aims and Objectives – Define Peace, develop immeasurable standards for peace, and draft governance models for ensuring that the standards are impossible to achieve …
“4) Policies – Develop and enforce codes of conduct which will make the objectives happen …”
“5) Systems – Draft and build an organisation of functions which are both horizontally and vertically indefinite … Make sure that everything and everyone is included …
“6) Procedures – Develop and establish procedures for each function such that no single procedure is standalone … every procedure must rely on another to produce results …
“7) Standards – Establish standards for each procedure … Make sure that the standards are not auditable … we live in a democracy … Use the preamble to beat audits …
“8) Codes of Practice – Adopt all new codes of practice … Remember, history is recorded for telling us what has been defeated in the past … Historical successes are compromised …
“We sincerely hope that you will lead our temporary enterprise … We will wrap it up as soon as it shows signs of positive results.
“Looking forward to your favourable response, and assuring you of our best services at all times.
“We remain, Yours truly, Sd.”
At the end of his blog, Amitabh Bachchan wrote: “My job is now insured.”
It appears the government’s orders were not only disliked by the actor.
The Maharashtra government’s orders were also termed “discriminatory” by the Bombay High Court.
