Today morning I was returning from the mess to my room when I saw a group of folks standing near my room looking at the looooong corridor longingly, with SLR cameras in hand. That struck a chord with me cos that's a frame I love too. It's a very long corridor with neat rows of beams on top and pillars on the side - a photographer's dream setup.
So without any hesitation I approached them and introduced myself and asked if they were from some photography club. That kinda shocked them all. They looked at each other and laughed out loud and said they were making a movie here.
"Oh! Sorry I mistook you all cos of these cameras. If you are looking for some nice place, there is this thing called the Central Pergola. Have you seen it? The huge window on a large stone wall?"
"Ya we've seen that. Can take silhouettes there"
"Ya that's why I suggested that place :) BTW we have a photography club here"
"Oh is it? Cool. So what do you folks do in the club?"
"We move around taking pics in the campus and outside"
"That's great. Can we have a look at the pics?"
"Ya sure.. I'll get in touch with the club folks and make a collection and meet you. How long will you be here for?"
"Two more days."
"Fine, I will get in touch with you by then. Bye!"
"Bye!"
And only after that did I realise who they were - Raju Hirani and his crew for the movie '3 idiots' starring Aamir khan, and Madhavan!! :) I kicked myself for not realizing that when I was talking to them (Raju's crew.. Not Aamir and Maddy.. They werent thr).. Now a Google image search confirms it was Raju Hirani.
Hope I really get to meet him again in the next couple of days!
