It goes like this " some people are born great, some achieve greatness and some has greatness thrust upon them'; in fact that was he. Hear I mention this for Big 'B' or Amitabh Bachan; though I am not a regular cine watcher; but I find it irresistible when his film releases. Usually I watch them at home; not all those can exploit him fully but some like 'Black' and recently 'Paa'; do it. They just show how one can achieve greatness through his diligence. My kudos to Big 'B'. Hear I am going to show how difficult it was for him to take make-up for 'Paa'. There he played the role of a 13-year old boy Auro, suffering from a rare disorder called progeria.

Amongst my colleagues, friends, neighbors; every third parent is complaining about his or her teen aged child going delinquent. What I gather from them find some things common.

The effects of delinquent children may be varied in nature; some may be addicts, some just wayward or others just not serious about anything in life.
