Niehoff Lecture XVIII with Salman Rushdie - Hyatt, Nov 5th 2005

Ronnie and I stayed overnite in Hyatt in Downtown on Saturday.Since we had to attend the lecture at nite,so Ronnie came with an idea to stay overnite there and celebrate the earlier Anniversary!!!!!!!!!
We checked in to the hotel at noon,had lunch in The Champs ,and Ronnie bought some more meals(he said he's still hungry ). I took a nap before attending the party.

We brought 2 cams, the Canon one he put on the window and set the time to take the views, Ohio River.Meanwhile the other one, I used to take our pics.

Around 6pm,he went to the Regency Hall,checking the party.He went back to the bedroom while I was busy with my hair. He said," Babe,I met Salman Rushdie in the elevator.I said," You look like Salman Rushdie,and he said," Yes,I am ".

Well..finally we went to the Regency Hall, we missed the cocktail,and entered the hall.The dinner was started at 8 pm. Great dinner,we did enjoy it.After dinner,the lectured was started.Salman Rushdie was the speaker ( Don't ask me what he said,cos I didn't pay attention ). ( Maklum,tebar pesona..... *pd.com*

We sat with some people in one table.John Gray ( is that rite?) and Joyce, the new broadcaster of Channel 5, Bryan n Jean ( teachers ) and a lady( an attorney, goodness..I'm sorry,I forgot her name ).

The party was over around 10.30pm.We greeted some other people and exchanged business card. Ronnie had Salman Rushdie signed his business card.He said," Aghh..you're the guy I met in the elevator.Nice meeting you again."
This is the funny thing " Ohh.. I wonder who the Ruler of the Universe,but I know him now," said Salman. We laughed. He's a nice guy.It's ashamed I didn't take his pics when he's talking to Ronnie.( ya elah...gaya.. hahahha ).

We spoke Hindi ( He spoke some words to me! ).I asked someone to take our pic, when suddenly I felt something was vibrating in his tuxedo. I said," Is that your cellphone? " He said," Not mine..."..Wahhh it's impossible it's mine.. did my breast vibrate?? ,,, I was

Then, I brought one the rose centerpiece ( anyone could take it away ).I took the rose from Salman's front desk... . I asked Ronnie to take my pic on the stairs,eh.. Salman passed and stopped. They chatted again.Ihhh..Ronnie ignored me. I kept waiting till the water from the vas fell to my gown.. hiks..hiks.. hiks.. My gown was a lil bit wet....

Finally Ronnie took my pic,and we walked to the elevator.There're some other guys,Salman himself and us. We chitted chatted for a while,said some words in Hindi.I said," Mohabbath..." He laughed and said," It means love ."

Hey!! We're on the same floor.He was in front of us.I bet he's suspecting us from following him.Since he turned his head back and looked at us while he kept walking..Till I said," Babe,where's the key?" then he walked straightly.

The party was great.We did enjoy it. Here're some pics ( some or bunch?? hihihi ). I can't upload all, since I have taken abt more than 100 pics. I have saved all in yahoo photo ( see from the Link ) .
