When u were a kid, didn’t u just think abt far away things … u knew that they were not possible but still u wd think abt them and spend endless afternoons … Well I am not a very big bollywood fan myself .. yet as a kid only respite other than books was movies for me .. partly conniving in this vice of mine was a neighbourhood VHS vendor who used to call me up to tell me if a new movie has arrived …
Nevertheless, something happened to me a few days back … I met this woman (28 -30 yrs) in office … she is the station head for Virgin Calcutta … We chatted and chatted … there was no one around to show her the office and introduce everyone to her .. so i became her knight in shinning armour ;)... I showed her how to work in MS Project … all this while I thought I saw/knew her … and yesterday I gathered courage to ask her if she was a model … she smiled and she said “No dude, remember ‘kya ada kya jalwe tere paro … o paro’... that ‘Paro’ was me” ....
Boom… and I crashed … She was Anjali Jathar who had a small career of 7 films in Bollywood .. including Trimurti with Shahrukh Khan … She was that cute little girl about whom all the guys including yours truly talked abt and while I am writing this … she is sitting right in front of me and smiling … She got married … went to US .. did a course in Mass Comm and joined O&M .. will ask her out for dinner/lunch …
