Last Tuesday (15th January’08) I spent an interesting evening. Why interesting? Well, not because I got a chance to rub shoulders with some of Bangalore’s (and some not of Bangalore's) social elite, not because, for the first time I attended a televised debate getting recorded, not because I got free food and drinks, honestly the only thing good about the food was that it was free, but because I had my 10 seconds of fame. Ok, and the free food and drinks as well. The occasion was CNN-IBN’s Indian of the year award 2007 and the Bangalore road show to promote the same. To read more about it, click here . The venue was Taj West End , among the more spacious 5 star properties in Bangalore, with an entrance so well tucked away that it took me three passes to actually find it. How well I put the blame on anything but me. The debate started well after its scheduled time, so there was plenty of opportunity to gulp down a few drinks (Champagne, cool!) and unobtrusively (or so I thought)
An innocent bystander to my own life.
