Yesterday, I reached Dubai along with my twin daughters Drishti & Disha, my wife Pankaja, my elder brother Amitji and jayaji. I am Missing Abhishek and Aishwariya as they are busy shooting somewhere in India. I am also missing my sister Tina as she is busy with her young kids Anmol and Anshul in Goa as it was their choice of destination. Usually myself, Amitji, and Anil Ambani prefer to be together during the New Year. Nonetheless, I am grateful to Anil who took the trouble of spending one night with all of us in Dubai before joining Tina Bhabhi and kids in Goa. Three of us are in three different professions acting, politics and business but emotions and affection bind us together against all odds. I pray for this togetherness in times to come.
P.S.: I am going to be in Dubai for few days but will continue to interact with you, though you all may also not have much time to surf the net due to festivity of the season.

Mr Amar Singh,
I am a person who rarely is influenced by your presence in the political system [being from TN] but, the moment a politician becomes accessible to public and accepts critisicms i see that as a baby step towards a gentleman politics.
Do you plan to hold townhalls or QA sessions for people in your state to answer questions of people who cant access the blog or dont have an internet connection? May be that pushes your image for the better !
and loved your openness on the response to the readers ! Tells a lot about you.
This surely helps us accepting you though we may not agree with what you say !
Good work Sir !

Amarji, you needed a break. I pray the coming year of 2010 will cruise you to greater heights in service of the nation and its people. My humble regards to your family which includes Amitji’s family too. Have a nice time get back to India with new energy and spirit. By the way, on the lighter side, I am on the side of Amitji in the matter of God and God-man, I sure your friend God-man will be visiting you both in Dubai this time too. Ha … just joking have nice time and, I pray that you never change, you are a gem of a person, may the glitter of your personality increase always. One thing is clear you are a transparent and true to heart person.
Let us pray this year will also bring smiles on the faces of millions of people around the world, who must not have smiled in the past year as we have by the grace of God. May God keep us close the hearts of the poor and the needy for all our life’s.
Happy New year to you and the community developing on this blog of yours with a wish that this blog space will influence the thoughts and actions of fellow Indians. hopefully.
Regards to you all. adil mh Hyderabad India.
Dear sir,
pls convey my best wishes to all three of you and your family and friends…….Happy New Year 2010..
pls convey my message to Anil Ambani….I like his dressing sense..I have voted him the best corporate in one survey conducted in the website moneycontrol.com…………He was among first one to vote during parliament elections recently….shows is attitude towards the nation……..
Sorry Sir pls dont mind I have a habit of finding something good in different personalities (u may have read in my earlier message)…..I cant say about Amitji because I like him since I was in class IInd / IIIrd … so I may be biased…
Once again Happy new Year………..
Regards
Sunil
Dear Amar Singh ji
Its great feeling to be with family and friends especially during the eve of a New Year..wish you and your family the very best in life and years to come…
During one of the opening cricket matches in Abu Dhabi i saw you with Mr Sharad Pawar, the match was between India and Pakistan and this was the time when Gen Pervez Musharaf also attended..
Take care of ur health…

Dear Sir,
I have a serious question for you to answer.
Mr.KCR at Hyderabad is fighting to have a separate Telangana State. Keeping in view that India has many states and breaking into many more is it good or bad? Total AP more or less has the same culture, speak same language. Is this movement politically motivated.
What is your opinion on this Sir?
Regards,
Renukanath
Amar Singhji,
Wish you and your family and friends a very happy new year 2010.
You have been a friend in need and i prey god to bless all with a friend like you.
Just a small wish I have… can i have an opportunity to meet you in personal in the coming year.
Love and regards from your well wisher,

आपके द्वारा मुझे हिंदी में संबोधित करने हेतु हृदय के गहनतम तल से आभार, मुझे भी हिंदी में टाइप करना नहीं आता है किन्तु आजकल इसकी आवश्यकता ही नहीं है चूँकि फोनेटिक टाइपिंग की सुविधा अब उपलब्ध है |
मैं “http://www.kavitakosh.org/kk/index.php?title=खोज_पृष्ठ” पर जाकर “खोज कीजिये” की खिड़की में अंग्रेजी में ही हिंदी शब्द टाइप करता हूँ जो स्वतः हिंदी में परिवर्तित हो जाते हैं फिर वहां से जो लिखा है सेलेक्ट कर के कॉपी करता हूँ और आपके ब्लॉग पर पेस्ट कर देता हूँ यह सबसे आसान उपाय है हिंदी में लिखने का | अतः आप भी इस उपाय को अपनाये एवं मेरे अन्य मित्र भी, तो समझ जायेंगे की हिन्दुस्तानी “जुगाड़” कभी कभी कितना उपयोगी सिद्ध होता है | आपके परिवार और अन्य आदरणीय गणजनों को भी नव वर्ष की शुभकामनाएं | इन पलों को संजोयें और स्वस्थ्य ले प्रति सजग रहें |

मेरी सीमाएँ बतला दो!
यह अनंत नीला नभमंड़ल,
देता मूक निमंत्रण प्रतिपल,
मेरे चिर चंचल पंखों को इनकी परिमित परिधि बता दो!
मेरी सीमाएँ बतला दो!
कल्पवृक्ष पर नीड़ बनाकर
गाना मधुमय फल खा-खाकर!-
स्वप्न देखने वाले खग को जग का कडुआ सत्य चखा दो!
मेरी सीमाएँ बतला दो!
मैं कुछ अपना ध्येय बनाऊँ,
श्रेय बनाऊँ, प्रेय बनाऊँ;
अन्त कहाँ मेरे जीवन का एक झलक मुझको दिखला दो!
मेरी सीमाएँ बतला दो!
Can u guess the poet …. No marks for guessing…

Sunilji thanks for your beautiful thought, I appreciate your effort.
Dear Amar Singh ji,
कई सुझाव हिन्दी भाषा में लिखने के लिए प्रस्तुत हुए हैं ब्लॉग पर. हमारे कई साथी चाहते हैं कि आप हिन्दी में लिखें, और एक विचार तो है कि आप तो हिन्दी भाषी लोगों के नेता हैं (दिसम्बर २६). हालांकि मुझे और लोगों के विचारों पर टिपण्णी नहीं करनी चाहिए, लेकिन आप कि इजाज़त हो तो में अपने कुछ विचार प्रस्तुत करूँ.
मैं भी एक उत्तर भारतीय हूँ और हिंदी मेरी मात्रभाषा है. परन्तु हर फोरम पर भाषा का सवाल खड़ा करना चाहिए, मुझे ऐसा नहीं लगता. समाजवादी पार्टी कोई प्रादेशिक पार्टी नहीं, और ना ही अमर सिंह जी कोई हिंदी भाषा के प्रांतीय नेता है. समाजवादी पार्टी नेशनल पार्टी है जिसमें आज हर प्रान्त के लोग शामिल हैं. इसके आलावा यह ब्लॉग राजनीति या पार्टी का नहीं है, ऐसा मुझे लगता है.
आज पूरे संसार में भारत का नाम आदर से लिया जाता है और उस का श्रेय सिर्फ हिंदी भाषा के बोलने वालों को ही नहीं जाता, यदापि मैं तो कहूँगा आज गैर हिंदी भाषियों का श्रेय उसमें अधिक है. ISRO, TIFR, BARC, Infosys, Wipro, IIMs, IITs और हजारों ऐसी दूसरी बड़ी और छोटी संस्थाओं मैं गैर हिंदी वासी ज्यादा अच्छा काम दिखा रहे हैं और भारत वर्ष का नाम पूरे विश्व में कमा रहे हैं.
हिंदी हमारी भाषा है और भारत में अधिकतर लोग हिंदी बोलते हैं और समझते हैं. Thanks to Hindi Films. लेकिन हम लोगों नें कितना प्रयत्न किया कोई भी एक दूसरी नई भाषा सीखने का. बंगला, मराठी, तमिल, मलयालम आदि तो बहुत ही culturally rich भाषाएँ हैं हमारे देश की. इंग्लिश किसी भी भारतीय प्रान्त कि भाषा नहीं है. संसार में भी यह केवल मात्र ५ या ६ देशों कि है. लेकिन आज संसार का हर आदमी Chinese, Russian, German, African, साउथ अमेरिकन आज इसको सीखने की भरपूर कोशिश में है, तो हम उत्तर भारतीय क्यों नहीं.
अमर सिंह जी बहुत अच्छी English के ज्ञाता हैं, यह इस ब्लॉग से साफ़ मालूम पड़ता है. लोगों को उनसे सबक सीखना चाहिए ना कि उनको हिन्दी में लिखने के लिए विवश करना चाहिए. जब मौका आएगा शायद वोह हिन्दी में ही क्यों शायद देश कि दूसरी भाषाओँ में भी अपने ब्लॉग का अनुवाद करवाएं. ऐसा ही कुच्छ विचार अमिताभ बच्चन जी का भी है उनके अपने ब्लॉग के बारे में.
Knowledge of languages is considered an Asset today.

Sir,
The feature of comment moderation is very important and necessary, and it is good that it is now enabled to pass comments through review process before they are published for public viewing.
The character font size of the text has become a little too small since yesterday after they drew the rectangle around the comment text. There is still at least 15 character wide gap left unutilised between the middle main text column and the right column on the page. I feel earlier format was better and the Icon Image size was good enough. Since i have written this one major observation, I take opportunity to add a few more minor ones. The word “Says:” after the writer’s name is too prominent. It will be good if there could be a blank line inserted below the writer’s name.
Thanks.
Dear Amar Singhji,
I was surprised when I read in a newspaper that youare staring a Blog,because normally political leader don’t.
Whenever I see you in TV addressing Media I feel that tjis man can not be a politician,you looks so innocent that time I remember Amitabh of Rajeev’s time.Who was not comfortable with politics.
And You are Yaaro Ka Yaar,speaks from Heart.
I am a Journalist with 27 year of experience and thought many times to join politics but could not.
Anyway Happy New Year to all of you.

Thanks Ashokji for visiting my blog.
Respected Sir,
I wish I could have friend like you are.
You are a role model in friendship.
Wish you and your family a happy new year.
Amarsinghji, have a wonderful New Year and may the grace of God be with you and your family.
Please do pass my best wishes to Anil Ambani and his family as well. He seems to be a wonderful person from what I read in the papers. Yes, it is really great to hear that Amitabh, Anil & Amar all with the same initials of the first name are so close together. Brings back memories of Amar, Akbar and Anthony‼
Finally, may God bless you three families and you all do have a wonderful new year.
Dharmen
Dear Amar Singh,
Its a pleasure to see you take a step forward and come out to the domain of the people by setting up an online forum like. And its is good to see you reply to the comments. But as a previous reader had asked my doubt is the same : Are you planning to take it to the people who do not have access to internet and the people of the rural hinterland who really need to be connected to the government in a better way. ???
Anyways Congrats on this effort. Hope other politicians follow suit. At least this makes the system more accountable and open to criticism (if unfavorable comments are not screened already!).

Dear Amar uncle,

Dear Amarji,
If you happen to visit US (particularly NY city area) please let me know if it will be possible to meet you. Many Indian politician and buisness men/women visit Yale University and if possible give some talks also, please let me know if you will be interested in anything like this. It will be pleasure and honor to meet you in person.
Thanks,
Vinay
********************************************************************
Thanks for visiting my blog so frequently and inviting me to US, it sounds like a good idea. If i happen to visit that part of USA and have time in my hand will certainly let you know.
Dear Amar JI,
I am also from UP. I recentle read in Times of india that on Amit ji’ s advise u hv started to write ur blogs. I was very eager to access ur blogs, at least i found a medium to intract with u.
I see u as Sardar Patel of UP in comming time. I dont see that Mayawati Can make Uttar Pradesh a better place to work and live by errecting statues of Kanshi Ram and her own.Crore of ropees is being spent on errecting statues,construting parks in the name of beautifiaction. Can u name one peson who is going to be benifited by these? NO one.
But still money is being spent. No one is there to stop her.
I wish that u come in the power and spent the money wisely, allocated to the states for development,to create the employement in the states. LIke noida many more cities can be made catering large pool of talent and stop the drainage, Instead utlize them by opening the door to participate them in the development of thr state.
sir think bout us OBC’s …wre we go sir …..we need a leadership…nd bold leader like AMAR SINGH JI….but?????leave that sir ….happy new year to u nd ur family…..just search the official posts of SP….70% posts resurve for a special cast….the DIRTY PUTRA of DHARTI PUTRA… spoiled the PUNJI of THAKUR SAHAB nd MULAYAM SINGH JI…….thease two leaders can change the UP….nd made it on 1st position in india….but OBC’s of up cant allow it on behalf of their..life & IJJAT…
Dear Vinay, sometimes reality is different from perception. I have always endeavoured to ensure that all sections of the society get duly represented in our party, particularly OBCs. However, I appreciate your point and if any thing of this kind is prevalent in our party, I will make a sincere effort to ensure that no one is discriminated.
Dear Amar Singhji,
Welcome back to Dubai!
Last week we were extremely fortunate & overjoyed to meet you as well as Amitji at the Adrress hotel just before his departure.
In my excitement I even did not ask you about your wellbeing although I believe my wife Nisha had the presence of mind to enquire about your health.
We wish you & your family a very happy, healthy & peaceful 2010.
Dharmesh & Nisha
Dubai
Namaste Amarsinghji,
It is a privilage to read your blog.Its is really amazing to see how busy people like you and your elder brother (shri Amitabh Bachchanji ) take out time for common people like us and share your thoughts with us through your blog.
About a month ago i had seen your interview on NDTV, when you spoke about your pollitical carreer as well as your health.
Sir, you did mention that u were over worked and in your long carreer spanning over 2 decades you really haven’t taken a major break. You also said that u will soon quit pollitics, citing health issues.
As an ardent fan of yours and with due respect i humbly request u to spend more quality time with your family ( which everyone loves to do ). Sir, u have done enough for the country and the state of Uttar Pradesh and now it would be a pleasure to see a father spend time with his daughters.I wish and pray u remain happy and healthy always.
Wishing you and your family a very hapy and prosperous new year.
Pratik
PS: Sir, u are blessed to have a elder brother like AB. I am a regular reader of his blog too and now its a double whammy with both the legends having their own blogs !!!
Thanks Pratik, I appreciate your concern.
Namaste Amarsinghji,
Happy new year
Pratik

Best wishes on the New Year. I wish you and your family a good health. Enjoy your break.

Dear Amarda
Happy to know that you are taking a break.
Well, as I had always said earlier, you really need it.
I see in one of the responses, inviting you to visit New York.
I shouldnt remain behind in inviting you to our coastal town of East London in South Africa.
Welcome Amarda, please do come with your family and friends.
Regards
Amitabh
Thanks Mr. MItra, I am sure one day I would visit your city.
dear amar ji wish u a very very happy new year , all the best for 2010 , ONE THING I WOULD LIKE 2 TELL U THAT I SHARE MY B`DAY WITH U ON 27th JAN SO PLZ REQUEST U TO CELEBRATE TOGETHER IF POSSIBLE
Thank you for replying to my comment yesterday Amar Singh ji..it is nice to see you celebrating the new year with Amit ji and Jaya ji..your friendship with Ambanis and Bachchans may be negative for the media but most of us find it very warm and genuine!
sir, i wish a very bright happy new year for u & ur family, sir in this new year plz be serious to become a SURGEN for SAMAJWADI PARTY, coz sir this is the voice of OBC of UP, where we go sir?? no place in SP for us coz of a special CAST always after SP Rulled we punished , nd also same situation in BSP, OBC of UP are asking for leadership……..i also have some plan for that if u permit sir i can share that with u….think bout this sir ………..
Well Amarji, last but not the least..I would also like to extend an invitation to you to visit the Genetics Institute in US where I work..anytime you visit the US..after NY…of course!!!!!I will definitely work on something related to the field of Genetics and Birth Defects and keep you informed. I am happy that in my brief paragraph to you…you understood precisely what I was talking about…I am very very concerned about that aspect and my strong feelings are that it is a big Lacuna in our country……
A paper in the esteemed journal, Nature, by Dr Lalji Singh, ex-director of CCMB and founder of CDFD, Hyderabad has focussed on the identification of ancestry of North Indians and South Indians..and has clearly mentioned that recessive conditions are due to emerge in India due to endogamy….Amazing, right??? But we need bold steps and right support from the Govt to do this feat…..
After reading your reply…I felt a glimmer of hope…….Your blog already knows my email ID….it can very easily be verified…I will be waiting for an email from you…to pursue further discussions on this topic…….
I wish you and Amitji and Anilji…everybody a very very happy new year…full of health wealth and happiness…..
Hopefully, Godwilling..we will meet soon…..
Regards
