Ghumakkar's Diary

It was not just another sunny Weekday, it was a day when we were scheduled to meet and have lunch with   non-other than the Jhakkas   Anil Kapoor. Well, it all started a few days back at around 11PM when I received this mail from Indiblogger to confirm if I would like to have an   Exclusive Lunch with Anil Kapoor   courtesy   Tata Storme and 24 – The Show . Not very much into Bollywood, I asked my friends should I go. And, it was like everybody had a single answer,   of course.
