Being CHETAN BHAGAT whom I met today !!!

             461th BLOG -->>

Chetan Bhagat in the event where I met him

         I was sitting on the stage with a big table ahead of me. It had a sheet of paper on it on which I can pour my words and collect the ideas and then speak when my turn comes. These youths sitting here as the audience wants to hear me. They have always supported me whenever someone has tried to pull me back so they want to hear me because I am known as the India's biggest novelist. I can see many people's eye on me. yes, many of them are here just to meet me and talk to me. (After 15 minutes) Ohh, So I hope I gave the right instruction to the youth of my nation sitting in front of me and I think I have given an appropriate and genuine speech because I got clapping for 3 to 4 times during the speech. (After the whole panel discussion ended) Oh so they have told the audience that they can personally come to us and ask questions. I hope they will not push me or pull me. May be I'll go back home and stand in front of Anusha with tore shirts and few lipstick marks. Yes, even these girls are crazy about me. 

Kirron Kher was also present there

              See, everyone is around me. The other three panelists have 4-5 children around them while I have so many with me here. These people are talking about conducting my 5th book's launch at an auditorium of a renowned college and they are assuring an audience of 1000 students. This girl is asking for an autograph and I refused because you know that I am too lazy to sign on blank papers for more than 50 times at the same time. No, I don't want to fall prey of this trapping by them so I have already refused them. Yes, they may feel that I am showing attitude but this is how I am. I am the biggest novelist of this country and I should have some attitude. Without attitude, they take humility as my weakness. I am not weak at all. Ok? I can charge upon you back but it is just that I don't want to react. I can see some of them pushing me from behind in quest of meeting me. I want to talk to them but its already 7 PM and you know the traffic of Mumbai. It will take a long long time to reach home. So I want to go away from here but I am stuck between these people. I have told that group to contact Mischelle who works with me and arrange the event if they feel they are confident about it.

Chetan Bhagat at the 2nd position from left

               This boy of some 21-22 years old approached his hand and I shook my hands with him. I saw him and I don't know why I felt that I know him closely and he is someone who loves me and admires me a lot. Where others were trying to push me and frustrate me, he was standing quietly  and listening to what I was saying. It felt like he wanted to capture all what I was speaking and take back with him. He didn't even asked for a photograph even when his friend was standing with a mobile camera with him. He seemed to be a die-hard fan who came just to feel the positive vibes around me. He said,"Hello sir!!!" I looked in his eyes and I saw that his eyes were asking me to motivate him. He wants to be someone like me. The best from the field one is into. I smiled at him and nodded. Even after that he didn't leave my hand. He wanted to take the feeling of meeting me with him back to his place from where he will sit down to write and become the next BEST after ME. My good wishes is with him. Of all the people, I met today, I will remember him. Remember him for being so kind and silent fan. He is the only one whom I found pure and true admirer of mine in the crowd of those South Mumbai students who try to overact but their intentions are clear right from when they open their mouth.

I am the one whose head is down n I'm searching something

               After that I came home and saw many students of Jai Hind college replying to me(on Twitter) about event and telling me how happy all of them were after meeting me. They said that they enjoyed the event and they liked whatever I said on APOLITICAL discussion. In the list of all the replies, I saw one message very pure and from heart. I remembered that child from event. I understood he is the one who didn't tried to cause me any kind of harm and stood 3 feet away at the safe distance from me and kept glaring me to take all my images back with him. I didn't replied to any of the message I got but I replied to this boy (Yes I was sure that he is the one who stood there as a silent admirer)," was nice :-) Thanks". And after this he started thanking me more. I would just pray God that this boy becomes the next CHETAN BHAGAT after me. He has potential. I have read a biography of mine on his blog and it was awesome. He is the best blogger I have ever read and I think it is his blog that makes me remember him always- Even in the crowd, even between 100s of replies on Twitter. 

Chetan Bhagat's reply to me

Chetan Bhagat, 3 feet away from me:

P.S.: Today, I met Chetan Bhagat- my idol and the person who inspired me to write fictional blogs and start a book. He read my blog once and commented on it. But this was not enough for me. I wanted to meet him. Finally, today, on 13th September 2011, I met him after tracing his events for last 3 years. I didn't spoke anything as I have written above in Chetan Bhagat's narration. And I am happy that I got the motivation from him which I was demanding through my eyes and with that smile, he gave it to me. And seeing on Twitter that he didn't replied to any other student of Jai Hind college but just replied to me and went off from Twitter, it feels that he has already blessed me to be next Chetan Bhagat. :-) Cool. Today will remain as the most special day of my life till my death. Thank you Chetan Bhagat sir for making me whatever I am today. 

         Thanks.
