Like last Sunday, yesterday also I was invited to the ‘after party’ of CCL at hotel Raddison, Ranchi. We went to our hotel rooms first, after the match, to freshen up and then proceeded to the party venue just past midnight. It was a nice venue and quite different from the last one at Bhubaneshwar. Last venue was small and restricted but this one was very large and open. They had divided a big hall into two parts by a row of tables. One half had arrangement for us and the other half was open to public.
It was all going well until famous celebrities arrived at the venue. This region is the home of ‘Bhojpuri’ cinema and regional crowd is crazy for these movies and their actors. I have interest in Bollywood and Hollywood movies only, so I was not aware of the status of those celebrities but I saw the madness firsthand yesterday and now I know it’s a big deal. People literally went crazy when big names like Manoj Tiwary, Ravi Kishan etc. arrived. Crowd from the other part of the hall started crossing over the temporary fence to get a snap with him. But then bouncers interrupted and brought everything under control. Dancing was better here than the last party but overall experience of the last party was much better in my opinion.
Going to these parties sometimes make me feel sad. I have not achieved anything substantial in my life yet and I feel inferior seeing those successful celebrities around me. They have achieved so much in their lives and have all the luxury and fame in the world. They have all the rights to party hard but not me, as I haven’t done anything to go to such events. One movie dialogue comes to my mind at such moments: ‘Is losing fun?’ (from Moneyball). It sums up the agitation in my mind. I am a loser now and everything is my fault. But I can’t be depressed by that thought, because everything is in my hands and I am responsible for anything that happens in my life. I have to decide whether I want to remain here or move up. I have to make a decision and work hard to achieve my goals. I just can’t wait for anything good to happen to me without me working intentionally for it.
That’s both sad and hopeful mode to end today’s post. Good night folks :)
