the first ocurred within our first week in india, in a hotel lobby in madurai, when a man claiming to be a bollywood producer very abruptly joined our conversation and told us he could make us famous. the rest of the conversation went something like this.
producer to melissa: you are a great beauty.
producer to colleen: and you, a big beauty.
producer to ruby: and you are such a beauty.
producer to me: and you. small. but good.
i am still not totally sure what it means, but i do think that if we were being rated in terms of physical attractiveness, i should have at least tied for third.
the second brush with celebrity (and a more positive one, i might add) came at the very end of our trip, in the parking lot of the trivandrum airport, to be exact. while our host, suresh, was unloading mine and ruby's bags, he noticed a massively popular movie star from kerala, mamotty, standing attractively outside a car a few rows down. we may or may not have watched a movie with this mamotty in it, but suresh was determined that we meet him either way. and it turned out not to be that hard. we just walked over and introduced ourselves, and mamotty lit up when suresh said we were big fans (which may or may not be the case). like i said, a much more positive experience. and i think it totally looks like mamotty is leaning in for a kiss in this picture. don't you?

Wow, a celebrity sighting. There seem to be six Mammootty (that's how they spell it) on Netflix, so we'll rent one to watch next time you come home if you like. The guy in your photo is definitely the guy on the cover of these movies.
