Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has expressed desire to contribute to the relief operations in flood-ravaged Bihar. 8220;I offer whatever is desired of my family and me to do to alleviate the sufferings of our brothers and sisters in Bihar,8221; Bachchan wrote in his blog.
8220;Let somebody take charge, take a decision, draw a plan, whatever; collecting funds or material, I shall contribute. But how and where? somebody tell me. I will do it.8221;
The actor, who is on Unforgettable Tour world concert with his family, actors Ritesh Deshmukh and Preity Zinta, is currently in Paris.
Big B feels pained by suffering caused by natural calamities in Bihar and also the US. 8220;Bihar. Hurricane Gustav. Such misery. And so painful to witness the suffering.8221;
Bachchan said he always wondered where and how the system gives names to the terrible natural occurrences. 8220;I believe, and I may be completely wrong, as this is my personal observation, typhoons are in the Pacific. Hurricanes in the Atlantic.8221;
8220;And the names? They are in alphabetical order. If its the first Hurricane of the year, then a name beginning with the letter 8220;A8221; and so on. So Gustav is the 7th Hurricane of the year and Katrina was the 11th. Also8230;and please do not get on to my gender bias case. Why are most hurricanes bearing female names?8221; the superstar asked.
