It happened one night…

This was about 10 years ago. I cannot quite decide on whether it was my scariest night, or one that I’d fondly remember for the rest of my life and even tell people about it ;)

I was being kidnapped (I told you it was scary). I could not see who had taken me into an empty garage. But I was chained up. I felt like helpless Sridevi after the Hawa Hawaii number. At least she had Mr. India to rescue her. The villains were making fun of me, and all I could do was hope and pray that my hero would come and save me too. But there was no sign of that happening. The absolutely inconsiderate villains were having a pizza party (inconsiderate because they did not order vegetarian pizza for me). Yeah! They placed their order and were probably humming “Ta na na na na ree, oh pizza aaya free!”

What seemed like an endless wait, turned out to be only 29 minutes and 35 seconds. My knight in shining armour had finally arrived, albeit that he was the pizza delivery boy in a red cap (which covered his face entirely). He fought for me, like the angry young man, and I was free! He removed the cap. Our eyes met. And we fell in love that instant (although I’d like to believe that he fell in love with me the second he saw me).

At least I fell in loouuu with him then. I mean who wouldn’t, if the pizza delivery boy who rescued me was Keanu Reeves!

Yeah, it did happen one night, while I was dreaming…
