Dharti se IPL tak

on Wednesday, April 16, 2008

Dharti Mars ke paas hai," is one of the few sentences this Chennai youngster comes up with when asked frame a sentence with dharti by the radio jockey. Dinesh Karthik isn't really good at it, especially with genders, but he's making an effort to better his Hindi.

Of course, he's a Delhiite now. Smart in his Delhi IPL team outfit and a pair of feathery slippers, he feels lucky to be a part of such an event.

"Not every player gets to visit his fans' home," Karthik feels. As the convoy of the red SUVs enter the apartment in Mayur Vihar, the 23-year old is a bit apprehensive.

"Oh my goodness, now we'll have the entire apartment here?," he follows the bhangra troupe nervously to hand over IPL tickets to the school boy, Vinam Suri. Karthik is a complete Hindi-movie buff and loves the soundtrack Pehli nazar from Race.

"But I'm not a die hard fan of anyone particular, I like the actors for that particular movie," he says. His recent favourites are Chak De and Taare Zameen Par.

And what more, we find BBA student Dhruv Agarwal, the second winner, playing exactly that song when Karthik arrives at his Sunder Nagar residence.
