A Lovelee Day

Brett and HirooI was stunned (more shocked) with the news when I read that Brett Lee was coming to Mumbai on May 4 2006. I made up my mind to go and meet him as I was luckily on a vacation in Mumbai and I asked my brother to arrange the passes and everything.

When I got up on that day (May 4), I was so excited (I should say out of my mind). We got to the ground and my brother said that we don't have passes and I was really disappointed. But I didn't lose hope and still went. The security stopped me there but I knew I had to go inside so I requested, called the event manager and after lots of requests they allowed me to go inside. I was so happy that I almost hugged him there.

We were now waiting inside for him to come while the event manager was just boring us by asking where we have come from and all stuff... And finally brett came and I was so nervous that I felt like fainting. We were standing beside the boundaries of the ground and he was walking past them. He looked so hot and handsome in person that he took my breath away.

He asked some questions about himself and gave Boost packets to winners who answered correctly. I tried so hard for them to ask me at least one question but to no avail. He actually came to endorse Boost - a chocolate drink. He then bowled to some youngsters and then gave some bowling tips and he sang one Hindi song "Muquabla Muquabla" and again walked past the boundaries and this time he saw me and waved at me. I swear I was about to faint, my legs went weak. The show was over now and I was sad that I didn't talk to him.

I went to the event manager again and he told me that Brett was at the press conference at the auditorium there and I ran there. There was less security there so I stood there in front of his car waiting for him. It took him ages to come out but he did come and it was my last chance so I took a deep breath and went to him. I showed him my Brett Lee collection and he signed on one page and said you are a darling. I then asked for a snap and he agreed by saying sure honey. These two words really made me forget everything even that my brother was taking a pic, my cheeks went red there and I was blushing right there. He then gave me one of the killer smiles of his, my heartbeat was so loud that everyone could hear it. I thought it would be good to say thank you but by mistake I said "Thank God". He heard me and again smiled and then he went and sat in his car but opened the window and looked out I was standing there only, my eyes were only moving and he looked at me smiled and said bye and waved and like automatically my hand waved to him back and he was gone.

The moment he was gone I just sat down on the ground, I was totally lost. It was a dream come true and I was so happy. I thanked my brother and the event manager. This was all about my encounter with and after coming home I realized that I didnt talk to him except that "Thank God" thing but still this experience is always unforgettable for me. I only can say that I will always be a Brett Lee fan and love him. He really is a nice person and his smile is really cool. Love u Bing.
