Encounter...with...MOHANLAL!!!???$#%%@*)?

hmm...am on a writing spree right now...so..making the most of it...

Anyway...lemme talk about the title of this post....
Yup...encounter(is it too strong...probably yes).Ok,I'll call it a conversation with none other than mallu's dear Lalettan ;).I was in my 12th then.I still remember that afternoon.Got back from school and was lunching with Amma.And like everyday Appa called home and asked about my day and things like that,and before ending the talk he said,Mohanlal was here in Riyadh for promos of his product TASTE BUDS and that the number is advertised in the local newspaper.He asked me try out,and....i told him.."obviously i wouldn't get connected".Anyway,for the heck of it,i tried.And,unbelievable i got connected.Another frozen moment!! I didn't know what to say,i conveniently slipped the cordless to my mom's ear!Let she deal with it!!Well,she asked him how he finds riyadh,and,how much we like his movies,blah..blah..blah...what else can u talk to a stranger!! and that too a celebrity stranger!And then she tells him,"My daughter wants to talk to u...her names Kavitha and she's in the 12th"...THERE!! she hands me the phone...gulp!!
I pick the phone...and right away say"HI Uncle...how r u??" hehehehehehehehe....poor lalettan....i might have been the first person who called him uncle!! even kids call him lalettan!!! well..yeah..nothing else came out!I didnt know how to deal with this situation!!!
To which he replied "Hello mole!..how've u been"...mole?? me???hehehe...another joke...!!!anyway....he asked about my school and how am finding the classes and..then,again i didnt know what more to talk..and i blurted "Am pretty much waiting for ur 25 yrs of stardom show!! Sigh,i cant watch all of it cuz of my boards!!".And well,the much acclaimed actor that he is,he sounded upset about the whole thing.It gave me the feel of "Ningal illandu enikku enthu aaghosham"(without all u ppl where's the celebration??)
And finally he wished me all the best for my boards and convey his "love" to everyone at home,and told..."I'll see u all when u come back to Kerala"(another joke)
Yeah,the conversation ended right there with adieu and goodbye!
It was a joke,a dream,a pleasant surprise...call it whatever.At the end of the day i had something to show off... "that i spoke to MOHANLAL!!".I called up my friends,I mailed my brother and relatives!Well,after the call ended was when the realization hit me,I was speaking to "Manikuttan in thenmaavin kombathu","Vijayan in akkare akkare akkare","Sunny in manichitrathaazhu","Mangalassery Neelakandan in devasuram"....and countless classics!!! Am an ardent fan of Mohanlal and when the time came that i spoke to him in person,i didn't get any feel of it.He sounded like another friendly stranger.(obviously,he should!!).
But yeah,felt great.A day to remember...
