Amitabh Bachchan at Madame Tussaud’s

As a child, I would have fantastic dreams about meeting
famous people.

Leaders. Performers. Writers.

Film stars.

The fantasy always ended there. I didn’t have any plans
for what to do when that happened!

Those wishful days are long gone. A lot has changed.
I’m no longer a starry-eyed fan hoping to meet a hero.

And I have a CLEAR plan about what to do when it happens.

Today, I really DID meet a SUPER-star.

He is a household name in millions of Indian families -
and even across Asia. He is the ‘angry young man’ action
hero of Bollywood.

Yes, today I met AMITABH BACHCHAN!

It was a very brief meeting. But I did get to shake
the famous superstar’s hand.

You can tell a lot about someone by the way he shakes
hands. Mr.Bachchan has a firm handshake, makes eye-
contact, and draws one for a short little while into
his personal universe.

It felt special

I decided right then that I liked him - as a person.

A few minutes later, he accepted an invitation to be
a patron of a CHD project which funds heart surgery
for poor Indian children.

He also made a donation of Rs.1.1 million - that’s
enough to fund 10 heart operations!

We all have potential to be super-stars.  Most of us
ignore that potential.  Even claim to NOT want that
status.

Yet, one superstar today could touch the lives of 10
children.

And do it in an instant - without it taking a toll on
his life or finances.

That’s the incredible potential to do good that stems
from having influence, fame and power.

Isn’t that a worthwhile reason to be great?

I just learned that Amitabh Bachchan has a blog. It
has EIGHT posts. And each one has HUNDREDS of comments!
One even has 887 comments!

And here I was thinking I’m a popular blogger
