Clicked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wat i am goin to share wit u is one of da most extra ordinary experiences of my life!!!
On october 31st,I never thought of wat da next day wud bring for me.. it was jus a usual nite n 2moro was jus another day..nothin special at all..(ok..ok..um not countin ashwariya’s bde ok??i dun think dats makes it special neway..)in fact.. I woke up on 1st november.. totally unsuspectin n unaware of wat destiny had chosen for me..(er..us actually..).
Ok, cuttin short da melodrama.. it all started wen Snehudi snt me this particular msg- “Hey! We r on Times Of India second page!”
.. I must confess.. wen I read this msg, I thought da poor grl had lost it.. then I thought ..ok, mayb its sum article bout youth or college students or sumthin bout teenagers..u kno “us”is such a relative term.. so I called her up sayin,
“ Wat do u mean woman???”
.. n dats wen she said..
She- “Did u see our picture? Cool na.”
Gawd!!! Was I shocked!!!!
Me- “Picture??? Wat picture??? Wich picture??? Where??? How?? Wen?? Why??”
She- “Arrey wat? U don’t get Times Of India at your place? Wat?”
Me- “ToI?? No.. I get Indian Express!! Why??? Tell tell tell !!! wat picture wat????”
She- “arrey, remember v had gone to CCD on frenship day??? Those press guys were clickin pics na..those hav come out now!!! Yay!!”
Me- (totally baffled n completely in loss of words) …..
She-
(understandin my reaction completely )“ya..even I was surprised..was jus flippin thru da pages n I saw da pic.. gawd.. me n abhudi’s side faces r visibl but u hav come in full view.. poor Tinudi,only her hand is visible. ”
Me- WAT????????
She- “Yeah.”
Me- “(gulpin down)..wat? he clicked only my pic.????? ( !!!!!!! )..er…do u mean only I am recognizabl??? wat exactly r u sayin???”
She- “oh ho, c, v r recognizabl to da ppl hu kno us but u.. u toh hav come totally..hehhe *gigglin wickedly at my pathetic condition*”
Me-
“achaa, so wat is da article bout? Coz frenship day’s gone long tym back..y did they print da pics now?”
She- “its sumthin bout da GenX hangin out at cafes”
Me-“oh my gawd!!! I wanna c those pics now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do sumthin!!!”
She- “Wat?? Y r u bein so impatient? I get it to tuition na..”
Well, dat meant waitin for 7 hrs!!! gawd.. not possible..i had to do sumthin!!! I msged Tinudi to get her copy of 2de’s edition 2 college anddddddddd (hehehe…) sent my staff 2 da station 2 buy da paper!!!(poor thing, he must hav thought I’ve lost it considerin v get sum 6 different newspapers everyday..but dats not my fault..v dun get ToI )
So I set off for college ,desperately prayin 2 god dat it wouldn’t be anythin horribl…
Cmon,getting ur pic published in da newspaper witout your knowledge is not a very comfortin thought, really..
So, tinudi got da newspaper for me n I finallllyyyyyyyyyyy saw it wit my very own eyes.. cudnt belive it seriously.i mean dat stupid french beard man was clickin pictures generally, witout takin anybody at particular.. but but but.. this is wat v had thought. Da idiot had focused on us.. n er.. if I may say so.. on me!!!!! Y? I don’t lik unwanted attention n specially of this kind..(um not bein modest.. um a scorpio remember??) gawd.. dat day I realized so manyyyy ppl read ToI coz, everybdy in college was pointin me out n even callin me 2 say,”hey! Didya c ur pic?” or “hey! Ur pic’s come in da ToI” or “Nice publicity huh???” As if I asked da photographer to click da pic!!!! Weird!!!
Neway, I rushed back home. I showed da newspaper immediately to my dad.. its better dat I show him first,lest he comes to kno from newher else.. he was surprised n said wit a smile “nice photo.luks lik u wer da focus”.. yeah, ur rite dad.phew, his reaction was such a relief!...my mom had already seen da pic (I had sent my staff remember?) n said “how come dat u go 2 dat place once or twice in a year n still u’ve been photographed”.. I’ve been thinkin da same thing….
Dat afternoon my masi called from a nearby town sayin “hmm.. wats up grl?? Been clubbin a lot recently???” gawddddd… evn she had seen it!!! Embarasssinnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By evenin I had kind of gotten over da fact n went to tuition..well, wat do you think happened? Uhhh..b4 u think ne further,let me introduce my tuition to u’ll. It’s a place wher so manyyy weirdos come 2gether for studyin.. um sorry to say this but our tutorial has a quite infamous reputation of havin bookwprms n borin students ..(obviously excludin us!!!!!!!!!!) so, I dint even bother to think dat ppl mite hav seen da article.. how very wrong I was. Most of them had read da newspaper n one female evn said “so,enjoyin ur celebrity status??” yeah rite!
Thank goodness snehudi n abhudi wer also present ther.. atleast now they too wer getting da attention!! Hehehhe.. I wasn’t da odd one out.. yay!!!! I did get a lotta comments ther too.. but.. by now I was actually enjoyin all this..hehehe.. lik snehudi said she was still baskin in da glory of been clicked!!!!!


P.S.- Guess wat da article’s tittle was? “GenX wakes up to a new Dusk.” it had two pics.. one was general n da other was focusin on us..i was sittin cross armed smilin at abhudi (i dun kno for wat) n one cud see abhu's cute eyes..jus lik her mom.. tinudi's slim hand..hehhehe.. n snehudi's awesome hair!!!!!! da article said how now da city’s youth now had somewher to go after sundown..lik pizza hut, café coffee day, smokin joes etc. uhh.. well atleast it dint critisize us.. thank god.
