I’m searching for a word denoting someone who hates celebrities. I’m someone who jumps to hate or not mind people who are loved & held high & celebrated as special. But when I do get to know them, see them for what they are truly, no one can love them so much like me. They become special for ever and ever. Etched in my heart as special. While the get to knowing them takes some time, there is usually a moment which changes everything.
April 22 1998 mid night when Sachin slammed 143 to take India to the finals against Australia. He looked like a Lion that day. I was supposed to be sleeping but secretly watched the game. Couldn’t scream as it would wake up others. But I never slept that night. Probably felt high for the first time in my life.. he became my hero that day.
Just like that in my 12th grade, I always knew she was my manaseega mentor, but had to suppress that feeling cos everyone around me bragged about her. But when I knew she was in an accident, I could not control. I almost became a detective. I still can’t figure out what and I how became a detective to find her address and built the guts to go see her. Probably I did something that no one else did. That’s why she let me in her very secretive life. For the introvert I’am, I can’t believe I did that. Next few years gave me memories which are good for a lifetime. I had to run away from the world I was in. Now I can’t find her. The rest of the story is for an another day.
The world is crazy about SRK. I hated him. Until I saw Devdas. The passion for the profession, the art, the all in he gave in this saga earned him my respect. I’m not his fan, but I always look him with respect.
Next up, last in… I still don’t know why that person became special. Was it the show? Or the trust? Or just the dreams? or what was it… socially weird, introverted beings can be seen egoistic though. Immaturity is a crime. Makes you hate celebrities, alienates from the dear ones, leads you to erratic decisions( we will discuss another time), but none of this makes the celebrities wrong. Once special they are always special!
