Busy but fruitful day......guess how.

This was a very busy week with regards to banqueting functions as well as cafe. Hence I ended up with just one day off this week. (One day off?)Nothing new for you guys back home; but for me its a big thing now after having two days off for last thre and half years. So I had just one day off.... and guess what..... I got an offer to do some casual work for a person I know from th e past and have worked for him a few times. So there goes my only day off I had this week. Anyway it was kind of worth it..

would you like to know why? if the answer is yes then read further otherwise get lost.

It was worth because this guy told me that the function i m going to work is being organized by ICICI Bank and since its Brand Ambassador is Shahrukh Khan, he is going to perform there as well. I said well may be I'll get a chance to see Shahrukh Khan, so why not get paid to see celebrity, instead of paying for it.
Everythign was going well all the food was there, all the kitchens were set. All i had to do was to take some stuff to the kitchen downstairs to the floor where he was supposed to perform. so i took the food to the kitchen on this floor and was waiting for the lift to go back up.
Lift came and there were quite a few peopple in it. I asked them if the lift was going up or down, nobody answered. Wierd.
Instead they walked out of the lift, and the last person walk out was Sharukh Khan, not even a meter from me. He looked at me and then looked away as if he doesn't know me. The truth is he actually doesn't know me so it was quite natural.

I was happy that working here was a success. Atleast i got to see shahrukh.



Tihsn photo is of the stage where he was performing at the time of this shoot, but because of the dark surroundings and very bright spot lights and the distance of myself from the stage , it is not at all clear. but atleast its here.

So when in the evening when he was supposed to perform, all the chef stoped working and went to see Shahrukh Khan. But he was nowhere to be seen. and it was geting close to open the stall in the banquet so i went to call all the chefs back. They were all reluctant to come back as they hadnt seen him yet, But still started moving.................you wouldnt believe it....................we were all waiting for the lift... lift opens and there is Shahrukh again, this time only with his two hefty big gigantic bodygaurds. Involuntarily, suddenly I blabbered that" arey jise dekhne aaye hain wo to yahan hai".
He heard that and smiled a bit and then walked into the stage.

I was happy again. watching Shahrukh Khan in the lift, just a feet away from you; I think, is much better than watching him on the stage from tens of feet away and just as if watching a movie.
