Mumbai, May 21 -- He's been going for dialysis to the Breach Candy Hospital, three days every week for the last couple of years. But, as he points out, the remaining four days are his.

And at 79, Shammi Kapoor is the oldest Bollywoodian to be logged on to the Internet.

He's been active for the last 22 years and from May 24, Rajshri.com and YouTube will be hosting his video-blog, Shammi Kapoor Unplugged. Each episode will be three to five minutes long and will be uploaded every Monday.

Kapoor explains the reason behind the initiative: "To share as much of myself with my fans before it's time to say goodbye. I don't know how many more years I have left and unless I pass on these beautiful memories, they will be wiped out with me forever."

Kapoor spends around eight hours on the net everyday, surfing, reading and disseminating information but he doesn't chat with strangers and play brainless games on his machine. His first introduction to the Internet was in 1992, on Apple's E-world.

"I suddenly discovered this fascinating world that was but a click away. I remember mourning with hundreds of people around the world the day E-world.com shut down in the late '90s," he reminisces. The virtual world since then, he points out, has become infinitely faster thanks to better software used. The information too is expansive. It is a boon... And also a bane. He warns, "Unless the government becomes an active censor, the number of pornographic sites, portals that help hackers, loopholes that leave spams and net stalkers will continue to flourish."
