It was about the man, his image, reputation, fame, charisma, et al. He was the hot topic of the entire world. He seemed to be everywhere, on the streets, in films, on TV, newspapers, advertisement hoardings, etc. It was all about him. So who was he? Why was he so popular? Why were people so crazy about him? What does he do to earn a living? Your guess is as good as mine! This was the mystery, nobody knew the answers & many didn’t bother to hunt for the answers.
The Name: Mr. C. I. Garette.
The Address: Anywhere & everywhere you go.
Occupation: Unknown.
Popularity: Unimaginable, soaring & highly rated. Rockstar for some wicked for a few.
That’s all one knew about him. That’s all one could know about him. Rumors though are always a part & parcel of famed personalities & Mr Garette was no exception. One of the rumor surrounding him was he was a professional hitman, a cold blooded murderer. Yes he did have as many critics as fans, but his persona & charisma drew people towards him.
His appearance was unconventional to say the least. He always wore a white shirt, matched with either yellow or white trousers, almost harmonizing with the fashion trends of Govinda or Mithunda; and wore a burgundy colour hat. Hence the appearance was not at all attractive to say the least. So what made him so special, so popular and so famous? Stop guessing in vain, as it was unknown, i.e. A Mystery.
A popular survey was conducted by a company and the results were pretty interesting. People did love him but why did they love him? The answers were bizarre. Some liked his mere presence, some liked his style, some liked his company, some loved him desperately & some even hated him and prayed that he be hanged. But his fans were mad about him and were of the opinion that he added a spark of joy in their otherwise dull and frustrating lives. Well that’s something isn’t it? How could Mr. Garette add joy into people’s lives? Was he a magician or was he a stand up comedian? Well he was neither.
Another interesting fact was that his popularity was soaring and more and more populace especially teenagers were fascinated by him. He was popular around the world. He was so much worshipped that had he asked his fans to stop wearing clothes or even to stop having sex, they would blindly followed his orders. He had that much command over his followers.
He had a dark side like many celebrities do. He was involved in innumerable controversies, scandals, etc. Some writers and researchers had found out that he was the assassin of many of his fans, both young and old. May be he was a Don or something. But the cops had no conclusive evidence against him and even if they had they could do nothing due to the fear of chaos following his arrest or trail. As the years passed by news spread that many of his fans have died due to chronic illness. His critics took advantage of the situation and held Mr. Garette responsible for the deceased. Despite of this news more and more people still fell into his trap. His fans even now rose at an alarming rate.
My dear friend, a very close one was and still is a die-hard fan of Mr. Garette and I don’t know what his whereabouts would be in future. OK! Its time I reveal who this chap is! This Mr. C.I. Garette I am talking about is nothing but the Cigarette and the friend could just be you!!!!!
