My Great American Adventure - The Beginning

Now that I've been in the USA for a week, I thought I'd quickly write about my great adventure :) But I've got the feeling that this is gonna be a LONG email. Please read at leisure.

My route to the USA - Blore => HongKong Airport => Los Angeles

The flight was fun (in some trans-dimensional parallel universe way) :D But think about it - I was travelling ahead through time (HK is about 4 hours ahead of India) and then I was gonna travel back in time (LA is about 12 hours behind India). The best part? I was gonna do it all in 1 day!! How cool is that?
Anyway. I landed in the Hongkong Airport. Next Step: Look for a celerity to take pics with :D Nah! I'm just kidding. But what I was doing was looking for a phone to call home. Thats when I spotted them :) So I walk up to them, all hesitant, while Ranbir Kapoor checks me out to see if I'm some crazy fan (Come on!! I mean I'm already grinning from ear to ear & he's probably thinking "Oh NO! Not here also!! Gimme a rest!"). Then this booming voice calls out "Don't be afraid. Come on over. We're not gonna eat you". I very nearly fainted when I realised who it was :) *sigh* Arjun Rampal *sigh* Can this get better? Actually it could have if Kat was there too. Lol. Then the below scene followed -
Entourage person: Do you want a picture?
Me: Yes. That'll be great.
Entourage person: Do you want to be in the picture?
Me: err..
Arjun Rampal: Of course she does
Me: err.. that'll be great?
(Arjun Rampal moves to give me place next to him, while the entourage person gets ready of the pic & i go to be seated right between RK & AR)
Me: So where you guys headed?
Ranbir Kapoor: No where. We're gonna be chilling here
Me (thinking): Yeah right dude. You're sitting in the Transit lounge
(Entourage person takes the picture)
Arjun Rampal: Hey you might wanna check that picture
Me: Huh?
Arjun Rampal: He's half blind. So you might wanna do a double check. (then he doubles up with laughter)
Me: Ok (Grinning away and checking the pic.)
Me: It looks great. Thank you.
Arjun Rampal: Sure (smiling); Ranbir Kapoor nods & Manoj bajpai still doesnt say anything
Entourage person: You should be glad its a sunday
Me: Huh?
Entourage person: I would've charged for the pic if it were any other day
(everyone doubles up with laughter)
Me: Ok. Thank you. Have a good trip. Bye
Everyone's still laughing and nod their acknowledgment.

i'll post the picture really soon
