"AND ..AND ..AND ..you shall be surprised and shocked as am I , that it was mere junk spoken by me .. but the Ef Bushra on a research of the film Amar Akbar Anthony by the interview given by Man ji to an English journalist or writer found this : The song My name is Anthony Gonsalves begins with these lines spoken by Anthony when he emerges from the Easter egg – 'You see, the whole country of the system is juxtapositioned by the hemoglobin in the atmosphere because you are a sophisticated rhetorician intoxicated by the exuberance of your own verbosity'," continued Amitabh.

Amitabh added, "It is an almost exact quotation from a speech in the Parliament of the United Kingdom given by British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli in 1878. Disraeli (who was referring to William Ewart Gladstone) used the word 'inebriated' rather than 'intoxicated'. Wooooaaaahhhh !!! AND .. hang on .. I had some days ago either a letter or a WhatsApp message from a cinema fan and a very proficient scientist, I think from the US, an Indian doing research on space , that the words : ’haemoglobin in the atmosphere’ is a scientific fact .. that indeed there is this factor and a reality, scientifically proven, of ‘haemoglobin in the atmosphere’ .. and his purpose of writing to me was .."
