When we decide to explore the city of Pathankot, we were waiting near our hotel. The city was just trying to get into the busy mode. A group of men stood at a distance chatting among themselves.
Poonam observed that one of the men had a strong resemblance to a certain Big B. Vaishali asked me to take his photo. I told her that if she came with me to ask him, I will take his photo. If I go alone, I was sure to be rejected. So we both started and walked up to the man.
She tapped him on the shoulders and asked him “Mujhe aapke saath photo khichni hai” (I want to take photo with you) The man did not have time to react. He smiled and agreed. Then Vaishali did the unthinkable. She told him to pose like Amitabh Bachchan. The man was confused and extended his hand which she refused
“Mujhe Haath nahi milana. Aaise khade rahiye” (I Don’t want to shake your hand. Just stand like this) Showing him how to pose like Amitabh. He did not get it and I decided not to test our luck further. I clicked the photo of the man with Vaishali.
