I M IN TV!!!!!!!

These days just like any 19 year old I wake up with lots of hopes, ambitions and worries.I am inundated with thoughts about different courses that the day might take even before my cup of tea.One such day was 24th July 2009.As usual, nothing had been similar to what I had thought of , no matter how hard I may just try to expect the unexpected. I could never conjure up that I will somehow find myself as the NDTV studio , just 2 hours after I had the rendezvous with the higher and the mightier ( no , not the Prez of India, but my thoughts....)

5 minutes before the interview , the very drawn to earth and charming Jyotiraditya Scindia walks in. 2 years after having passed in dilapidated but hallowed corridors of IIT , honestly speakin, never I have been flattered , but on the contrary have been humiliated, chastised , boycotted and insulted.

I was in a stupor waiting for the interview to begin when something woke me up or rather led me to a dream. "you are from IIT , you should be sitting where I am in and I should sit where you are in. I never could dream to make it to the IITs"

I tried to enlighten his deliberate oblivion to the fact that 7500 students these days make it to the IIT but there is just 1 Jyotiraditya Scindia. He pretended his ignorence but he was smiling from ear to ear.

I guess when he had given me so much pleasure , he deserved the contentment of a pleasing remark. After all alliance is the name of the game today and who knows it better?

P.S : The day also marked my first appearance on tv, I managed to utter something
just in time to grab the camera. Revved up by the exhilarating day I tried for some adventure at night. NO doubt it was adventurous but I will reserve it for a chetan bhagat clone novel for the future.
