Ok guys so bear with me as this post is going to be long. I want to recount the entire experience, which by the way was so surreal...
The sun peaked through my window and gently caressed my face. I smiled and then suddenly shot out of bed. Was it morning already? I was having such a nice dream about meeting TwiNj. Now fully awake, my brain ran miles in front of me... Omg omg omg... today was the day i was going to meet SidMin. My heart started fluttering... I looked at time at it was only 6:00a.m. I tried to be quiet so as not to wake up my husband (your jiju). He already thought i was crazy as meeting Sidmin was all i was blabbering about for the past few days...
I silently said my morning prayers and gave thanks to the Almighty. By this time Jiju was awake. He looked at me and went "Oh Lord Woman, go back to sleep. It's weekend..." With that he proceeded to do just what he said. Me however, could not get to sleep. The excitement was to much... I was already picturing my encounter with these two... I pictured just what I wanted to say...
Skipping head a few hours, My daughter, Kaylee and Jiju tried to get me to eat but i was too nervous to do so...Eventually i did eat and went to prepare for my day ahead...The smile on my face was plastered on thick. There was no way i was going to miss this opportunity... We got dressed and i hurried out to the car...The long drive to Port of Spain began. It normally takes one hour from my house to there but oh no, not today... Traffic heading into Port of Spain was horrendous. Like seriously? where the hell did all these people come from. So we sat in traffic, my patience drawing thin because, my girl friend sent me a message. She was almost there at the venue...and here i was sitting in this slow moving traffic. My only comfort was listening to the proceedings on the radio channel...When they announced that Sid and Jas had arrived, my heart sank. I'm never going to meet them, i thought...
Jiju, having been frustrated in this traffic suggested that we turn back... Of course i could let that happen so i pleaded with him. Kaylee also begged on my behalf... He agreed and we slowly made our way to the Queen's Park Savannah.
Finally, the blessed city came into sight... We entered the grounds, where Jiju dropped Kaylee and I off so that he could go find a good park... So this was it, TwiNj was just a few footsteps away. Or so i thought. I entered and to my utter amazement, the place was packed. I hadn't expected so many persons to be there, given that it was Easter Sunday, a time when most families head to church or to the beach...
On stage, a popular band was performing, so i took in the performance for a bit. Having scanned the area i spotted the zee tv booth. My heart danced. I held on to Kaylee's hand as best as i could and we made our way across. Again my heart sank. When we rounded the corner, the sight that greeted us was unbelievable. There was not one but two long lines of persons waiting to see Sid and Jas, these lines were long until thy kingdom come...I mean there were literally hundreds of people queuing up. Still, with Kaylee in tow, we trudged to the back of one line... The lines seemed not to be moving... Kaylee ran off to meet her dad and i was stuck waiting and waiting...
The line seemed to move every half hour... I was about to drop out, as the sun was unbearable hot. Maybe i wasn't meant to meet. Just as was about to leave, screams erupted somewhere in the front of the line... I peered in front of me and low and behold, there stood Sid, looking sexy as hell, smiling and waving at us... One girl in front of me started to cry. another fainted. Lord i hope i don't faint to... There before me stood a greek god, in all his perfection...And as quickly as he came, he went back inside. Seeing Sid, strengthen my resolve. I would wait...My back started aching and legs were about to give out on me... but nevertheless, i had to see Sid and Jas... Thankfully Monday is a holiday here so i will rest then. Nothing would stop me now...
Finally the blessed line started moving. And before I knew it, i was at the front of the line. My heart did funny dances as i saw Sid and Jas standing there. Don't faint. Don't faint.That seemed to be my mantra... I could barely contain my excitement. By at last, i would have to wait for another 20 minutes before i could actually meet and greet them. They were needed on stage. I was about to turn to go to the stage when the security told me if i left i would lose my spot in line... Are you freaking kidding? This was not done...
I was fuming but just then Sid and Jas were walking towards me, as that was the way to the stage.. I started clicking pictures like crazy... So they made their way to the stage amidst screams and applause. Meanwhile i had to stay inside awaiting their return. This didn't brood well with me. I turned to the girl behind me and said "I'm in front of you! Keep my spot." It wasn't a question but a demand. And with that i walked towards the stage.I made it just in time to see both of them dancing. Sid sang the zee tv jingle and be still my beating heart, his dance was so hot. The announcer said to Sid that he would find a Trinidadian wife for him. Sid blushed and went all red. He said the love was overwhelming... They talked about forming a boys and girls teams for the kite flying contest... Then the announcer said that they were going to meet their fans again. I ran back to the front of the line. The security said that i lost my spot... Oh really? I looked at her in rage.
But thankfully the kind girl said i was in front of her and i had to use the bathroom.God bless her soul. I was allowed my place back in line. Jiju brought Kaylee to wait with me... Sid and Jas made their way back inside. They had to go retouch their make up. One man from the zee family came and asked me if i had chewing gum. Funny question i thought. But then he explained that the stars wanted gum. Of course i din't have any on me but i told him i had mints. He took it and said he would give it to them. Are you kidding me? Sid and Jas were getting my mints... What a blessing...
Finally, Jas came out. She looked at us in line an apologized to us for having to wait so long. She was so sweet. and her smile was so genuine... Kaylee said, "Look mummy, it's Twinkle!" Jas smiled hearing that. Sid came and joined her. Finally the line could get moving again... The man in charge said that we weren't allowed to hug or kiss them and also only one picture could be taken. No problem. At least i would get a pic. I handed over my cell phone him and walked smiling towards them. My heart was pounding... Sid look at me and smiled. I think i died there. He wore his usual top and jacket and his chest was exposed as as it normally is. His skin was milky white. Jas was stunning in her attire. Her hair was held high in a pony tail.We took our places and waited for the pic to be taken. Sid stood so close to me. He's really tall guys. He stood head and shoulders over me.. And Jas is also taller than me.. I'm short...Sid actually hugged me. Ha, i thought so much for no hugging. We smiled and looked at the camera. Something was wrong as the photographer frowned. He came up to me and showed me my phone. The darn thing had locked. I had to unlock same. But this gave me a few more seconds with them. We smiled and clicked the picture. But just before leaving, I told Sid that his fans on India Forums loved him and he said a special shout out to you guys and he also said you all were very sweet. I smiled at him and Jas and Kaylee and made our way to the exit. I was awe struck at the humbleness of both of them. Kaylee was given a kite from the zee family team.
When we came outside, the line to go in was just as long...happiness and contentment seeped throw my veins... if i was bad, then Kaylee was worst as she kept saying she couldn't believe she had meet Kunj aur Twinkle... Having met them was so surreal. I still can believe that i did. I still can't believe that Sid hugged me.. I'm never washing my hands again...(joking). They care so much for their fans...i thoroughly enjoyed my encounter and if given the opportunity i would gladly meet them again, lines and all...the wait was worth it...
Omg... Sid is so delicious... He is so hot and sexy...
Again, sorry for the lengthy post, but i really wanted you all to feel what i was feeling... I shall post the pics tomorrow as it is 11:45pm here and i am tired and exhausted...
Darn, i felt like i was writing an OS!
