Amitabh Bachchan is having sleepless nights
In the same post, Big B also wrote about how music helps him during late night work, calling it a source of peace and comfort. He elaborated on the effect of music, saying that it brings peace and can provide the “peace of sleep” even during long hours of work.
He wrote, “There is no sleep process in this early morning hour before the night. Why? Because work is more important than sleep… Medical says this is not right… One should get at least 7 hours… During sleep hours the body grows, develops and repairs… So what does one do? (sic).”
He further said that music is helping him find peace at night. He wrote, “As I work, I stay glued to the EB blog, but in the stillness of the night, that gentle music on slide guitar-sitar, which renders some of the most soulful classical meditation solos…Ahh!! There is no better cure for the soul.”
Reflecting further on music and its influence, Big B said, “It is the string that binds the soul to the Almighty… That invisible thread is invisible, yet felt despite its absence… I think… So it strums the strings within… Put it on and softly it will give you the peace of sleep… The seven notes that have captured all music in any part of the world are the universal commonality of mankind… Respect it, and it will respect you.”
