The evening was a bit dull as I had overslept and woken up at 8 pm, which always makes me feel a bit bored. But we had planned to go for dinner at a popular joint in bandra so I took a quick bath and freshened myself a bit. We reached bandra by 10 and as luck would have it the place where we decided to have dinner was closed on Mondays only. So we took to another eating joint at carter road. The usual crowd of youngsters with amazing cars and almost s dozen superbikes amazed me as we were having the sinful deserts at the CCD outlet on carter road. After the desert session we decided to sit at the seafront and enjoy the vibrancy of the place. We were entertained a bit by a drunken old man who was circling the police officers at their booth so I and harshad decided to watch that fun for some time, as it was fun. But we were already late it was 12:15am, a bit more late and we would have missed the last train back home. So we took the first auto that we came across for bandra station. As usual the three of us were chatting along the way when we happened to pass two Audi Q7s parked back to back, at the first instance I did not mind it at first then impulsively I turned around to look at the other Q7. I saw the number plate it rang a bell somewhere, and suddenly I knew to whom it belonged. I yelled at the autowalla to stop the auto he was about to stop on the side of the road but I couldn’t wait for it I jumped out of the auto and ran all the way back to the Q7 and again checked the number just to make sure that I was right and yes I was, the next five minutes were a high for me. I shouted for my friend to come with me and the moment I turned around there he was coming out of the restaurant in a grey t-shirt and jeans it was “John Abraham” .
I had come close to meeting him twice in the past but could not manage it but I knew this time I was gonna meet him for sure as there was no one around in the whole road except a couple of his friends and a couple of mine. My opening lines were “Sir am a big fan of yours, can have a pic with you?” I said “Ya sure” was his reply. After my friend took our picture I told him that I was a big fan and that this was a dream come true experience for me because sure enough it was. I told him that I couldn’t believe it that I was meeting him personally and could I shake hands with him once more to be sure this was not a dream and he very sweetly obliged. After that I asked him authoritatively why he wasn’t active on twitter to which he replied that it wasn’t him but a fake account. I also told him that I had once received a reply to his mail from his official site John Abraham.com to which he said he cant make out time be active frequently. I have always read and heard about him being humble but now I guarantee this as my friend who had taken the picture came up towards me to give me my phone, john himself went up to him and shook hands with him, name one celeb who would do that. After that he asked me what I was doing I told him I was a final year law student in” Government law College” to which he replied that he used to be a student of “Jai Hind” just behind my college. I told him that I already knew about the fact and that I had memorized his car number and that’s how I came to know that he was at the restaurant. While leaving I told him that I was a hardcore john Abraham fan and I even mentioned his address to him and I could tell from his looks that he was impressed. I wished him luck for his new movie “Desi Boys” and finally once more I told him,” thanks you sir this was a dream “ and shook hands with him once more. He was kind enough to oblige. All this is something which my friend told me after he left because the five minutes I was with him I was not in my senses and I didn’t know what I was saying to him. My friend told me that in the five minutes that I met him I shook hands with him four times. It took me atleast half an hour to realize that I had actually lived one of my crazy dreams where I get to talk to him personally without disturbance for some time, it was fulfilled and I couldn’t have been more happier. I idolize him not for his acting but for being what he is, and now after this brief meet with him and after experiencing his humbleness I have just begun to respect him more. Long live J.A. you rock.
Looking back as how it happened I am forced to believe that there is some force somewhere which made this meet possible. If we would have got the next auto, if we had left when parth wanted us to leave and if I wasn’t that car crazy that I would have turned to look at the two Q7’s parked back to back this wouldn’t have happened, this is a perfect example of being at the right place at the right time. My car frenzy fulfilled one of my living dreams if it hadn’t been for my impulse for turning back just to stare at the Q7 I wouldn’t have met him. Finally one of the three dreams has been fulfilled the next two in the pipeline.
COOOOOLLLLLL BRO!!!! CONGRATZ!!!! arre this calls for a very big treat!!!!!
