Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan recalled his late father Harivansh Rai Bachchan's message to him, when he got a 'black eye and a bleeding nose' in school..

Amitabh wrote, "Yes and the fascination gets justified when in the library storing Babujis (father Harivansh Rai Bachchan) books, you quite by chance come across one that has been signed and dedicated to you, with a short message ...One such, came across to me by the wife... a bit moth eaten but still in some legible condition .. marked to me from Cambridge in 1953, during his study there for his thesis ..A habit I never forget and pursue to date... with the hope that some day the next generation, if it still shows interest in reading books and not internets, shall be chuffed at coming across one such roster, with some glee..."..

He also wrote, "In BHS, Allahabad - the Boys High School - in the year 1953 -54, when I was in the 4th or 5th standard, and Babuji was in England for his studies, I wrote to him that I had entered the Boxing ring in School, to enhance the Cock House points of my House, the Blue House .. and that after one successful bout, had got defeated in the next one .. and that my physical condition against a stronger opponent had given me a black eye and a bleeding nose."..
