Amitabh Bachchan is all geared up to record one of his father’s books in his own voice. Big B has a special liking towards father Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s prolific literary work.

While announcing the news, the actor said, “I do not distance myself from the writings of my pujya Babuji. And now his wise words, in my own voice.”

In the Twitter announcement that was shared post-midnight, Amitabh Bachchan posted an image of himself reading one of his father’s novels.

Big B also articulated his emotions in his new blog and said, “Never to keep distant the works of dear Babuji… ever near and in the company now of all that was observed and heard and time spent with… it is a wonder how much of the earliest remains with one… and the recent from the years or days of hours just passed – a failure in the exercise of remembrance.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
