Meeting this man may be a dream to so many and definitely I was not one of them. I mean, I was not dying to meet him or anything. Well... I met Rajnikanth himself! Just a few inches close, at the most unexpected time ever!
I was in a doc's place with my grandpa and when I opened the door to leave, there stood the man himself! waiting for us to finish our appointment with the doc. Clad in his usual white kurta, dyed hair and white beard, he was there standing before me and smiling. (I think he saw my jaw drop). And he went past me and I still kept looking at him. I think he sensed that because he turned back and smiled at me again. (God knows what was going through his mind!)
I could do nothing at that time than to smile back at him. My grandpa who was following me also was clearly surprised and amused as to how he looked! And he being him, overheard Rajnikanth saying to the doc that he was sorry to be late and that he was held up in shooting.
Clearly seeing Rajnikanth was not even the last thing on my mind that time and seeing him be so humble and so close surely makes me smile. While returning home grandpa said to me, "fool, atleast you could've shook your hands with him or atleast I could've done it!" Er... you could've said that at the appropriate time, thatha. Atleast I wouldn't have given a met-a-demon kinda look! :)
Who's next in store for my eyes to see?? ;)
