I was standing right behind him in the line at the movies. He was with his family to see Monsters v/s Aliens, which was what my friend and I on an impulse, decided to watch (there was nothing else...and it turned out to be a good movie).
I must say, it was exciting even if I didn't speak to him. I thought it would be violating his privacy to go up and ask him for an autograph or a picture.
Plus, and more importantly, it's not India. Steve Waugh leads a normal life here and is not mobbed by zillions of people unlike in India. He also has to stand in line like each and every one of us to get in to the movie hall.
Anyway, just wanted to share this...that I was so excited on seeing him.
Until next time,
Cheers!!!
You're very lucky. Personally, I like Gilly. Its been a while since I cared about a cricketer. Gone are the days of true character and flair.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think that it is the cutest thing to see you call it a movie hall.
wow!!! cool...I had always liked the twin bros...
ReplyDeleteAm proud of your reaction...am not sure I cud have kept my cool in such circumstances!!!!
woah .. the normalcy part is really cool .. hard to imagine a celebrity actually standing in line to buy a ticket like us normal people .. :) .. hmm and come to think of it .. i have never seen a celebrity .. i mean not one .. in my whole life .. :|
ReplyDeleteOh man !! You are so lucky. I am so dying to see some of my favs.
ReplyDeleteJust y'day Dravid broke Steve's brother Mark's record of max. catches.
Yes, I agree. They lead normal life and we should not invade their privacy.
Keep sharing such good things, especially of cricket. ;)

@ Orhan: Oh I definitely like Gilly heaps more!! And same here...after Gilly, I haven't felt the same respect or admiration for any cricketer.
ReplyDeleteOh...and what's wrong with movie hall?? :P
@ Smita: The fear of making a fool of myself is what kept me so level headed!! :P
@ Joel: Didn't u see any at Xavier's?? Malhar time?
@ Cuckoo: Welcome back... :) It's amazing...after living for more than a decade in Bombay, I hardly saw any celebs, and here in 4 years, I have seen 2 of my biggest idols! :)
