Large, Not Long

In Anand (1971), directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Rajesh Khanna plays Anand Sehgal, a man with an incurable cancer, lymphosarcoma of the intestine. He lives the time he has left in full. The film is remembered for his line: “Babumoshai, zindagi badi honi chahiye, lambi nahin.” Life should be large, not long.
