Baggage worries

This reporter friend of mine is a very helpful friend.
I have been grapling with achieveing fame in Bollywood and have had very little success so far. Afterall in this city of big dreams and small Shakeels

I was there on Page 3 a couple of times. It was me, holding drinks and standing behind Dharmendra and a sinfully happy Hema. It was my back visible behind the photo of an unhappy Kat on her birthday. My reporter friend tells me, it is just not enough.

'You need to travel, babe' he says shaking his head sadly - because he knows I can’t afford it right now.

What’s the point in traveling? Will it make me famous?

'Haven’t you seen the papers recently?' he asks twirling his bloody drink.
‘Fame is all about losing your baggage with all your belongings which you just can't do without on the flight,’ he says.

But, isn't it common sense to carry change of clothes on hand and especially important clothes on hand - I ask bemused. I have learned this at my mother’s knee I say.

My friend gulped down his drink, drowning his sorrows.

If you are going to talk common sense, you will never get into this industry and anyways can you see big stars holding on to tons of luggage on hand? How will they sign autographs and wave at cameras and act gracious with 10 kilos of clothes?

He had a point.

If I were a celebrity THAT is far more important than luggage! Guess I am not cut out to be a celebrity then, as I am packing a change of clothes and expensive things right in my hand luggage. Thank you very much.
