‘When
there
is
a
paucity
of
time,
strangely
the
maximum
work
gets
accomplished.
When
there
is
no
paucity
of
time,
work
never
even
gets
a
start.’

It’s
not
everyday
that
Amitabh
Bachchan
shares
his
life
lessons
with
the
world.
The
82-year-old
star
recently
penned
his
thoughts
on
the
importance
of
‘sanskaar‘
in
today’s
fast-changing
world
on
his
blog.
‘Each
learning
is
a
day
lived…
from
the
young,
from
the
new,
from
this
GEN,
from
any
other
GEN…
a
learning
exemplifying
the
worth
of
its
value.
Value
seems
to
convey
a
material
being.
No,
not
that
value.’
According
to
the
actor,
values
‘are
what
life
brings,
which
we
apply
or
believe
to
be
the
ethical
and
considered
norm.’
‘The
‘sanskaar‘
that
we
and
our
ancestors
inculcated
and
taught
us
by
their
approach,
behavior,
and
guidance…
‘Sanskaar,’
the
inborn
power
of
faculty.
A
refinement,
an
adorning.
The
conduct
of
the
‘how,’
‘when,’
and
‘where’.
The
actor
went
on
to
talk
about
‘sanskaar,’
describing
it
as
the
power
that
‘guides
our
behaviour’.
‘It
breathes
endlessly
to
the
very
end
of
existence.
Not
merely
of
the
human,
but
of
all
beings,
including
the
space
hemispheric
surrounding.
And
to
each
his
or
her
own.
When
there
is
a
paucity
of
time,
strangely
the
maximum
work
gets
accomplished.
When
there
is
no
paucity
of
time,
work
never
even
gets
a
start,’
he
adds.
‘And
that
is
the
condition
one
finds
oneself
in…
aah,
we
have
tomorrow,
so
shall
do
it
in
the
morrow…
and
the
morrow
never
comes.
Being
aware
of
it
but
not
performing
is
a
laxity
that
is
beyond
forgiveness…
and
apology.
So
I
live
up
to
whatever
struggles
I
do
encounter
with
the
cerebrum…
a
victim
of
‘time
on
hand’.’
