Meeting Brett

Source: Sunaina

It was the 5th of August, 8:15 pm. I got a call, it was my friend. She said, "Brett's coming to Delhi!!" I said "what?!?!?" She said, "Yeah, and we can go meet him." The TV was on really loud so I told her I'd call her back. I told my dad Brett's coming to Delhi. He asked me when and where. I realized I had forgotten to ask her that. So I called her up from another room (so there would be no disturbance). She told me she was reading The Delhi Times (a newspaper) and she saw a picture of Brett under which was written "Meet Brett Lee the world's fastest bowler on the 12th of August." I said, "You're lying!!" She said, "No seriously." I said awesome the well go meet him. I asked my dad whether we could go he said okay and agreed to take me and my friends to meet him. I went to school the whole week really excited and couldn't pay much attention in class coz I was soooo excited.

Then finally the 12th of August (Thursday) came. Two of my friends, my dad and I were supposed to go meet him. My friends came home with me. We all got ready, had lunch and left for my dads office (it's in cannought place too). Then we went to royal sporting house. The place was jam packed. Luckily my dad knew someone there so we were allowed to go in. All the people who weren't allowed were screaming "boooo". I didn't really care. We waited for about 20-25 minutes. Then we heard loud screaming and I saw this totally handsome blonde walk in. He said, "When's Sachin getting here??"It was Hilarious. He's got a really good sense of humor. When I saw him I screamed, "aaaahhhh".I was shaking all over and my hands were sweating I was really excited but nervous at the same time. After the inauguration of the lamp and stuff everyone was allowed to take pictures and get autographs one by one.

Finally my turn came. I took a photograph with him and while he was giving me his autograph out of nowhere I said, "You're really cute." He said, "You too." Then before being pushed away by the crowd I said, "You rock!!". We hung around for a while and took some more pictures of him. Then we saw his manager standing on one of the benches (He was pretty cute himself). My friends and I went up to him and asked him whether he could tell us were Brett was staying and his room number so that we might get to meet him again. He said that they weren't going back to the hotel Brett was going back. We were really disappointed coz we wanted to meet him again. Then on the way back home I cried coz I felt really bad about leaving Brett coz I didn't know whether I would get to meet him again or not.

12th of august 2004 was THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!
