Hi guys,
This is one thought i always had... Are celebrities really diff from us?? Here "us" i meant are ppl who are not on screen , the normal public... hmmm....Here is one instance where i got to meet and observe few celebs live in front of my eyes. Last few weeks i have met few "little" famous celebrities and to my suprise i played a cricket match with them... this match was organised as a part of our gym " In- shape's" sports day... :) This was held in the commisioner officer ground , Guindy, Chennai. Am not mentioning the celebrity names. you will know why :P
I know its kinda funny, but it was a nice idea to get to know new ppl. Well , now let's move on to the celebrity part. The celebrities were our opponents. Our team won the toss and our lovely , humourous captain, our coach and instructor Vijay opted to field first. It was a ten over match. Our team was not as strong as the opponents. Their team included celebrities you see. :P ( I was scared if they will outplay us with a huge margin )
Here starts the match... 1st over 12 runs. 2nd over the captain asked me to bowl. All eyes on me. Am shivering internally cos i was bowling to a professional cricketer. My over went like dis ( 0 wicket 1 4byes 6 1).I was applauded by the captian. I bowled the 4th over again. I gave off 14 runs of it and again a wicket. After 10 overs their total was a mammoth 141/5. The special ppl.. ie.. celebs had scored only 22 runs together.(4 celebs). Were they specail?? I dont think so.... That professional cricketer scored infact hammered around 80 odd runs... Fabulous was his style of play. Was thinking to imitate his style when my turn for batting came.
Here starts the 2nd innings... I opened the batting. one celeb was the wicketkeeper.. I was again scared thinking what would the celeb think if i get out in a folly manner. Felt like i would play better than that professional. But ..... :( I could score only 11 runs... :( My team totally scored 44 runs. And yeah we lost by a huge margin. But but but it was not the celebs who won the game for them , it was the normal " little infamous ppl" like me who won the game for them. It was total funnnnn with the celebs. They kept us entertained the whole day. I mean it was super funnn. That is where i understood why they are a little famous than us. Sheer entertainment was what they guaranteed us to keep the game lively.. Kudos!!!!
Good one :) Reminds me of an email I had received that said.. name 5 people who went on the moon, name 5 nobel prize winners in science, etc.. we wouldn't be able to.. but if asked to name 5 teachers, 5 friends, who made a difference in our lives, we would all have such lists.. that's cos everyone is famous for their near and dear ones :)
