You become successful when your signature becomes an autograph.

“You have a fan.” She says.
“Oh! I have many… tell me something new.”
“O!! Really!!!”
“In fact, I am thinking, I should change the “Add as Friend” button to “Like” on facebook. What say?”
“Shut up! Can you be serious ever? He has come to see you.”
“You kidding me!!”
I get up from my seat and offer a handshake in courtesy.
“He is our Sr. Manager.” She says introducing him to me.
“I was just joking around you know. How do you do?” I ask trying to cover up.
“I saw you in the commercial yesterday. You looked fabulous.”
“Really… You think so!! Thank you!!” Still recovering.
“So, are you in the media as well?”
“Kind of... actually not. That was one-off commercial which I did for fun. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even know they will select me.”
“Uh huh!! So what’s the story behind it?”

“Their team was scouring through the campus for a flamboyant vibrant face and then they stumbled upon our group. They explained the concept to us and asked if we would like to give it a shot. It felt like fun and a moment later, me and my friend found ourselves interested. The editor gave me her contacts and I never called her.

A month later, when my friend, the one who shot with me, went to watch a movie with her husband, saw me in the commercial at the beginning of the movie and she screamed with excitement. That was the first time when I heard about it.

Then I called the editor to get a copy just for the sake of record but she denied saying that she was the third party for the project and she herself doesn’t hold the rights.

Thereafter, many people saw the commercial and I loved to hear that they loved it too.”

“You did a good job! May I have your autograph?” He said teasingly.
