While I admire his commitment, I wish the blog had more personal anecdotes rather than philosophical musings sometimes. Still, 6271 days is an achievement few can match!

His blog got me through some tough times in college. That post about failure after "Kaun Banega Crorepati" season 3 was life-changing for me. Thank you, Amit ji! 🙏

The AI-generated image is cool and all, but nothing beats his handwritten notes that he used to share in the early days. Those felt more personal. Still, 17 years is amazing!

My dad used to read his blog to me when I was little. Now I read it to my kids. Three generations of Bachchan fans! Time flies when you're sharing wisdom across generations.

The part about some staying and some leaving really hit home. His blog has been like a constant friend through all life's changes. Here's to 17 more years! 🎉
