In those trying days during my surgery at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore, I understood many things and many people whom I would never have fully gauged on any podium. I saw the intentions and the agendas of many- glaring, searching for fulfillment, for resolution, for their benefit! This was also the time when my dear wife hadn’t eaten a single bite in the two days of post-operation recovery. There I was, helpless within myself, not to others. My family saw this. Talking to my daughters, Drishti and Disha, daily through video conferencing, I felt guilty for all the time I’d spent away from them over the years.
Being an active figure in politics back home in India, I’ve always been surrounded by crowds of people who claim to be my allies, my friends, my family. Ironically, it seems they themselves seem to have overlooked this trying time as necessary an occasion to put actions where words have long since ruled. I hadn’t wanted to get this essential operation undertaken away from my home, away from my family, but I had no choice. Having undergone a rudimentary procedure in an Indian hospital that ended up in them mistakenly removing a small section of my intestine, the decision to undertake this operation at Singapore was an obvious one. I don’t carry a grudge against these individuals for I actually discovered the power of the internet and computers while delving into them by myself. This blog is an attempt to translate my understanding of this virtual, real society.
Amongst my close friends, while being concerned, masking their worry, they maintained their faith faith in me. They call me a “fighter”. They actually believe it. While I have fought many at times, I know this – from the very beginning of my diagnosis to my return to India, Amar Singh wouldn’t have fought this plague without his family. It was heartwarming to see Anil & Tina Ambani, with Anil leaving behind an important stakeholders meeting, to be there beside me at every critical junction.
Amitji beside my bed 24X7, Pankaja juggling responsibilities while being deeply worried, the steady inflow of my loved-ones, I know those who matter now. My jest for living never diminished, my jest for living now included a sense of responsibility toward those who were there. When my kidneys failed I didn’t feel alone, nor did I feel a crowd was concerned. My family, my friends, my loved ones- they, at the age of 53, gave me a new beginning, a new life…

At first, I am thankful to god that you are now out of hospital and taking part in active politics.
I applause your initiative to provide us the opportunity to share our views with you.
Wishing you a healthy life & successful journey in the world of internet…..
Waheguru bless you & stay healthy because you the only one who raise the voice against the corrupt politician.Wish you a happy new year& many many more
Good to see you back in action, of course now you should take it easy……..Politics should now take a backburner i presume. Spend time with family and charitable cause. God bless.
Dear Amar da
The time u fell sick while campaigning in Uttar Pradesh and had to be rushed to a nearest rural hospital. The doctors declared that u are suffering from mild dehydration.
It was from that time I felt that there is an organic problem which led me to write the article, ‘Being Amar Singh’. It is avalable in the world wide web.
I wish I could have communicated with u then and would have come to India to help u.
But then there is always a reason, the almighty has his own designs and now that u are in the best of health, one is wiser and happier than before.
Regards
Amitabh
Dear Amar Singhji,
I seriously felt bad for India when I came to know that a nation of billions can’t take care of such a social worker like you. But later, I realized that it was no fault of this motherland. When education is driven by money, when admissions is medical colleges depend on the donation, when number of IITs are just increased to showoff with current IITs short of faculty, when you intake people on the basis of their caste not on the basis of merit etc, it is bound to happen. I pray to God to give strength to the social workers who try to solve these problems in the society and our nation can be at least proud of taking care of their own children
Dear Mr. Amar Singh,
To be honest with you..i am not a fan of your. Wondering if you could realise who are your friends and foes…i hope you do realise what would be the plight of millions and millions of poor rurual indian people who do not have access to even the basic health care fascilitites and who else to blame for it…..none other then the breed of politicians who have made a mess… You had the resources to go go singapore what about our country men who cant afford basic 1 day meal…think about them…. this new life to you..you shud dedicate to the people who have kept you in power not the cronies…give to the poeple what you have got…..
amarsingh ji, always admired for your fighting spirit.
Dear Amarji,
Though i am much younger to u as far as age is concerned,i do have interest in politics as it was a reality in my vicinity.Being a thakur from buxar,bihar,your’s seemingly neighbour, i can’t stop myself admiring your fighting capabilities in indian politics,it seems u are up to fill the void
created by chandrashekharji’s demise.
I wish you health,wealth and every good things of the world.Babru

everyone has to die within seven “DAYS”,like prehlad all should listen to srimad bhagvatam,bhagvad gita and guru granth sahib as any day can be the curtain down day,at the exit we want to take with us tools to protect us from , low birth ,real self should not be encumbered with deadweight karmic liability,due to our disrregard to divine ordinances on daily basis ,we have been cursed to die within seven “DAYS”..erroneously we donate gold to god the sole owner of all gold…we must follow sukdev goswami and prabhupad and sikh gurus and thus save your real self the real AMAR SINGH
Good start on web! Keep it up.
Amarji
You are blessed to have had Amitji & family by your side. And we are blessed to hear from him, our truly, everyday. If even I can do little or even 1% of what Amitji does, I think I would have done something in return as an FmXt of Amitji.
Stay healthy.
Best Regards

Respected Shri Amar Singh ji,
I want to congratulate you for getting rid of people like Nafisa Ali. Once, in 2007, I participated in a talk show on NDTV. Nafisa Ali was also there. Shiv Khera, a famous writer was sitting next to me. In the midst of the show she started screaming at Shiv Khera: “I am angry with you. why do you oppose the entry of Bangladeshis into India. We have a common history, a common culture and a common border.” It was shocking for a celebrity to shout at another celebrity in the midst of a show.But it revealed her true mindset. How can such people be allowed enty into Parliament? I thank the people of Lucknow for rejecting her.
Respected Shri Amar Singhji,
You have done the right thing by hitting the key board of your computer and getting in touch with people on the internet. It is the best discovery of the last decade or fifty years perhaps. It has put people into contact with one another in all parts of the world. It is also easy for an aggrieved person to put forth his grievance before the authorities provided the computers of the authorities work, they have the electricity and the knowledge to work on computers.
It also gives people a chance to exchange ideas on important issues.
Regards
Yours faithfully,
A.L.Rawal
Thanks Rawalji

Dear Amar Singh ji,
I am not exactly a fan of yours, but have been watching with interest your political movements and actions for some years. Let me congratulate you on moving away from Samajwadi party that encourages divisive politics on the basis of caste and religion (I have many times heard the term Maulana Mulayam Singh !). Since you have not been keeping too well recently, I would suggest you to take a short break from politics, contemplate on your past actions and work out friendship with more sincere and honest political parties that think of empowerment of the nation and the common man. Best wishes,
Pankaj K. Tayal, Delhi
DEAR SIR,
PLEASE DON’T GO BACK TO SAMAJWADI PARTY , NEITHER JOIN ANY PARTY . ITS BETTER YOU FORM YOUR OWN PARTY AND I KNOW YOU WILL BE APPRECIATED. I AM A COMMON MAN BUT WITH A FIRM DEDICATION TO BE A PART OF INDIAN POLITICS. I WANTED TO BECOME MYSELF A MINISTER AND FOR THAT I STUDIED AND WORK HARD A LOT . FOR 14 YEARS I M OUTSIDE INDIA AND LAST YEAR I STOOD ELECTION FOR LOK SABHA BUT DUE TO SOME PROBLEM I COULD NOT SUBMIT MY ELECTION FORM BECAUSE I WAS VERY LATE AND MY PREPERATIONS WERE BAD AND I DIDNT HAVE ANY GURU , BUT I CONSIDER YOU MY GURU. I PROMISE TO GOD AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE OF BHARAT AND OFCOURSE YOU SIR THAT ONE DAY I WILL BE A PART OF OUR GOVERNING SYSTEM SITTING IN PARLIAMENT AND FIGHTING FOR INDIA AND ITS CITIZEN SO AS TO MAKE A MAHAN AND MODERN BHARAT. SIR I RESPECT YOU A LOT WHATEVER HAPPENS DONT JOIN ANY POLITICAL PARTY , ITS GOOD IF YOU MAKE YOUR OWN PARTY. ITS TIME NOW TO DO POLITICS FOR THE SAKE OF BHARAT AND ITS CITIZEN RATHER THAN DOING POLITICS FOR POLITICIANS WHO ARE YOU, KNOW WHAT.
I AM SORRY IF I WROTE SOMETHING WRONG WHICH ANNOYED YOU.
THANKS
YOUR FOLLOWER

hello it is my first reply on this blog and in the begining I would like to thank for the great information, which I were able to find in this and all previous posts , it really helped me a lot. I will definitely iclude this blog on my google reader
Also, I would like to ask – don’t you mind if I will quate some information from your blog since I am writing articles for the Hub pages, Ezine and other articles directories (this is my part time job)? It would really help me with some of mine articles. Of course, I will mention your blog title or URL (not all articles directories allows URL’s , so I can’t 100% promise that you will get a direct link to your blog).
Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this also – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get anything done… Regards…
