A Thought..........

Today, while watching a documentary on Shahrukh Khan, I recalled a thought train, that I had lost some time back........ I've always wondered why people get snaps or autographs from celebrities they meet...... Why do people place values in these trinkets??? I'd rather cherish the experience........

In Mumbai, I used to live in an area called Oshiwara. A name which was quite unknown when I lived there, and a place that I believe has since become The place to live in. At the point of time when I lived there, I had celebrities all around me............ I mean old-time cricketer Mohinder Amarnath used to live right above my house, then we had the Roy brothers.... i.e. Rohit and Ronit Roy living across from my place, I even had Juhi Chawla living 5 minutes down the road. The area should very well have been turned into a Film City, since we used to see the shooting for one movie or the other every day...... I mean living there I met most of the big names in Bollywood. For the shoot of the movie 'One 2 Ka 4', the production team had constructed the house where Jackie Shroff lived in the movie just outside Juhi Chawla's house...... Everyday after school, my friends and me, we used to get together at the build for Bike rides with Shahrukh Khan, or we used to play around with him and Jackie Shroff, what we used to do was run around while the two of them used to try and hose us all down....... Used to be loads of fun.........

Time passes and people change............ sometimes there are new additions, while at others there are subtractions................. But its our memories that remain, and it is these that provide the basis for our identity............ Why trust them to paper and plastic that are lost in the mists of time, are over time tucked away under piles of rubbish to lose their importance............. To lose the value that we allocate to them in our life..........
