Diwali is almost synonymous to sweets to any Indian. Thus, at NYU during this international student week there was an event “United Sweets of the World”. This was a chance for international students to share a part of their culture with U.S. students and for all to enjoy desserts from different parts of the world.
As you know how much I eat and that too FREE SWEETS, from all over the world. Timings were from 7-9pm and hungry people like me reached sharp at 7 pm and thus saw organizers arranging the tables for you. I just waited there, khane ke liye kya kya karna padta hai ;-) Few of them were “wa-gashi” from Japan, “Soo Jeung Kwa” from Korea, “LIQUORICE” from Australia, “Pineapple Custard Rum Cake” from Cuba(South America) and “Pumpkin pie” from North America. All of them were so delicious…..ymmmmm. If u get a chance try them.
But why Abhay Deol came in the title. Its because I saw some guy who was arranging sweets, I thought I saw him somewhere but was not able to recall where I saw him. He just introduced himself to some GORI (nothing new all Indian guys flirt around GORI babes), as Abhay. I just interrupted and completed it as ”Abhay Deol”!!! He smiled and said yes. Then we chatted as a normal DESI buddies. He is a nice guys, very down to earth. Rather he is a kid, I just conversed taking his first name. In fact just for sheer satisfaction I said, “Hey Abhay I know it is a bit awkward but can u give me an autograph as a proof ;-) “. He smiled and said “Hey Cristina don’t believe him this is all set up, I just paid him to do that ha ha”. I am sure he must be happy to do that as I was the only one there who recognized him. And may be helped him to get that babe.
Then, I realized there is too much stardom associated with these on screen characters. They don’t deserve so much attention. He is a very average guy, you have better looks then him. Just another guy on the block, but son of Dharmendra. Today was a revelation for me that actors are just another person. I know you’ll say u always knew that, but still when there is Shahrukh around you’ll turn. I think its all marketing and glamour, gimme $100,000 I’ll make you a celebrity. Are you ready??
