《Reel or Real》Chapter 25: Definition of Celebrity
Advertisement
I was having breakfast with Erin when my cell rang, it was my Grandmother Diana who called me to come home and she has already applied for leave on my behalf. Erin urged me to take him also, as he will get bored and I knew he wants help with the maths assignment. Both of us reached in the evening. Erin was very happy to see my baby sister Tiarni which he was not able to pronounce, so he called her Tia.
Diana came from the office earlier than usual, she greeted Erin with a warm hug, and then in complaining tune she started speaking, "Sorry I called of you suddenly. I have been called for a discussion tomorrow which could take a lot of time and I didn't want Tiarni to be alone. "
Erin couldn't hold his curiosity, "Miss Kent can I ask you what kind of discussion."
Diana in humble tune, "Well kids it is a 9 pm news channel live telecast on the definition of a celebrity. Balin and Erin, you must be knowing that a YouTuber showed your mom's old clips from movies and some of the ramp walk.
Balin in shock, "Granny what are you saying. What movie?"
Diana was taken aback by Balin's statement, Tiarni interrupted them, "Bro don't tell me you never saw mom in the song clip from the movie Naadan Dil "
Balin was feeling that he has been pranked before he could say anything Tiarni clicked on youtube and showed us the song in which mom was looking very young. I took the phone and stared for a few minutes when my granny said in a very disappointing way, "Balin no wonder you made such a bet. You didn't know your mommy has done modeling"
I was silent I really didn't know, "But granny. Nevermind"

Diana, "Okay then you will also don't mind that your mom could be disqualified on this basis."
I got anxious, "Then will mom be disqualified from the show."
Diana, "Right now we are not sure."
Diana left in the morning early as today she has to go to the show in the night before that she has to complete l her today's work. We all waited in the night to see the live discussion till then we completed our assignments half-heartedly. I was also irritated by my sister and Joy that I was the only one who didn't know my mom has done work in the film industry.
The live telecast was aired on time at 9 pm, the anchor first introduced all the people who have joined for today's discussion, besides my granny Tom Walter a movie critic, Jack Hammerson movie producer, Julie Spencer movie director, and a guy called Martin who recently won a reality show. The host started asking their opinions about what a celebrity means. Everyone gave their answers in a very diplomatic except for Martin who was definitely trying to catch attention by spouting nonsense and targeting my granny as everyone knows she is related to Sukhwinder and August.
Diana in a very calm manner as far as possible told me that according to her my mom was a former actor and model but she didn't make her a full-time career in the field. Some agreed to her while some felt but still even if somebody is not in fame presently it cannot deny they were a celeb once. The argument went for almost two hrs with a lot of commercial breaks which we utilized in the search for more information regarding the same case in India and other participating countries. The opinion was divided into 50-50% if a former artist is a celeb or not who has just worked on a few projects. The official website is not currently responding regarding this matter they have just given a statement a poll will be conducted soon if my mom will continue or not.

This is a continuous collection of poems that I've written in chronological order, starting with the oldest and ending with the newest. This will be updated periodically and may have mass updates. More often than not, each poem either will be written in free verse or with zero adherence to traditional poem structure. Some poems may imply situations and actions that can be triggering or annoying, especially the earlier poems. I recommend skipping most of the ones from 2018-2019, or just not reading this at all if you feel it may hurt you. Please enjoy and read at your own discretion.

8 174Nouvelle chance dans la fantaisie.
Alors qu'il meurt trop tôt, un homme est envoyé vers un autre monde pour achever sa vie. Par la volonté du dieu de la chance, rien de moins, il a maintenant une nouvelle chance...dans un monde de fantaisie. Certains diraient que c'est un véritable cauchemar d'être ainsi envoyé loin de tout ce que l'on connait, pour lui...c'est un rêve qui devient réalité. (Pour ceux qui sont déjà lecteurs de mon histoire "new chance in fantasy", il s'agit ici de la traduction française. Je ne comptais pas vraiment en faire une au début mais certaines personnes auxquelles je tiens ne sont tout simplement pas assez habile en anglais pour lire "l'original". Etant donné que google traduction, mis à part pour une bonne tranche de rire, ne fera clairement pas l'affaire, je vais me faire un plaisir de traduire mon histoire ici. Si cela ne permet même qu'à une seule personne d'apprécier mon histoire alors qu'elle ne le pouvait pas en anglais, je pourrais me dire que ça valait le coup^^. ps: il est fort probable que les noms, et de personnages, et des attaques, restent en anglais. Je trouve que cela à plus de charme. Au cas où vous auriez le moindre soucis de compréhension, je me ferai un plaisir d'expliquer ce qu'elles veulent dire, mais ce ne seront pas des tirades shakespeariennes non plus, rassurez-vous^^.
