The celebrity among us: Sajid Chougle!

Apart from all the creativity and practicality we bring to education content and learning, we have a life too (contrary to popular belief :P)! Some of us are part-time superheroes, samurai fighters, archers, angry-bird dummies, parcour specialists, race-car drivers, etc. (just kidding! :P) but there is one amongst us who is an adventure junkie and celebrity- Sajid Chougle! (No! Really! :D)..

He's part of a reality adventure show on MTV and is about to take extreme to another level! Here's a quick look...


Sajid "The Superstar" Chougle

So, one fine morning all of us at Last-Bench! get this e-mail from Sajid:
Sub: Change at LB! 
Hello people, 
I would like to announce a set of rules that everyone must follow. 
To start with, you will refer to me as Sajid Sir or Superstar. Nothing else or my bodyguards will be forced to push you out of the way and throw you out of office. Second, no taking pictures with me or associating with me on a public platform. My bodyguards will be forced to throw your laptop/camera out of the window (and on your second offense maybe you as well!). Last, I have a special seat separate from all you lowly beings, will have special lunch cooked personally by India's top chef (which I will not share!) and anyone intruding my space (or interrupting my schedule- makeup, script narration or dialogue practice) will be forced out of the office.
Though I don't need to provide you'll with a reason let's just say I'm now a celebrity and I've progressed in life. Last-bench! is now my part time work. I will be extremely serious dealing with all of you'll (and my bodyguards will bounce you around like a beach ball) if you try and show me attitude.
And yes, all future communication with me will be through my personal assistant ONLY.
Regards,
Superstar Sajid
Amidst all the confusion surrounding the e-mail, a few people barged into our office and threw our things about, cleared the central area of the office and placed a rather large chair right there. They went on to set a boundary railing of about 3 feet radius around the chair and placed a bodyguard at the only approach. All this happened so quickly that all we could do was leave our mouths wide open. One of our interns mustered courage to ask "What's going on?" and pat came the reply in a stern manner "Don't you know? The Superstar is almost here!"

In about 15 minutes (true celebrity-like and fashionably late to work) Sajid strolled in. Dressed suavely in a purple velvet jacket, thick leather pants and his trademark Oakleys - he completely ignored us and placed himself on his special seat. He nonchalantly gestured to one of his assistants to start talking. "The Superstar is proud to announce the launch of his latest show- CYCLOWARS. A reality television show on cycling. Please clap everyone!" Immediately a laptop was connected to our projector, the lights dimmed and a video started playing on the screen...

Things have never been the same again... since we saw The Superstar in cycling shorts :P :D

Superstar in his shorts!

Well, jokes apart...We are proud to announce that Sajid is part of the first reality cycling show on Indian television- CycloWars!! Congratulations and we just cannot wait for more episodes!!! :D
