Yesterday I had to attend a half day conference at one of
the hotels in the city. Reached there early to beat the traffic. As I drove in
to the lobby area of the hotel, there was a huge reception committee waiting –
policemen, camera persons, political-babu types etc. Seeing a car driving in,
the photographers eagerly surged forward. I stepped out of the car and they
stepped right back!
Obviously they were disappointed with my appearance. A few
seconds later their wait was over - a BMW glided into the lobby and out stepped
a smart Sachin Tendulkar – he was visiting Trivandrum in connection with the
Indian Football League.
Was happy to get a brief glimpse of the little master and for being briefly mistaken for him – made
my day!
