Aamir Khan's visit to Maner Sweets -Maner

Before,,,

What happens when business is normal and somehow people are just managing to work in the blazing heat mid day when temperatures soar more than 41 degress,,

Business was normal at Maner sweets, Maner when the Local Police Station (Maner Thana) informed about Aamir Khan’s visit to Maner.

The Manager on duty quickly informed Manish (business partner of Maner sweets) about his arrival.

Manish was taken by surprise and called the Police station again. Is it a rumor or is he actually coming. Talks within Maner began to spread around – why would Aamir Khan come to Bihar and to visit Maner.

Well, as the discussions’ were going – the entire team of Maner Sweets geared up for his preparations. Everyone seemed to get that energy boost and started to working,,,questions did arise – what would he like, is he going to have lunch, probably it’s too much heat here, he would prefer to have a chilled Lassi. One of the employees who has media contacts in Maner – started to get about his arrival in Maner. I guess now, everyone was confirmed about his arrival.

It took about an hour 3:15 PM to get all the arrangements done. Red carpet for his welcome, about 150 kilos of fresh preparations of Maner ka Laddoo and other local delicacies,,,

Around 3:15Pm – the road was blocked, news spread like fire, more than 3000 people had gathered at the vicinity of Maner Sweets, Maner. My gosh – it was a sight to witness,,,not a single vehicle moving on the National Highway,,,

Once Aamir arrived,,,

3:20 Pm – the entire cavalry of Aamir Khan arrived at Maner Sweets. One could not spot Aamir Khan in the crowd as media had already arrived for his interview and what he plans to do in Maner. Just at the entrance-Manish was waiting for him,,, Yes, it was red carpet welcome nothing less than the Cannes (I guess so),,Aamir Khan was smiling as ever,,Aamir asked - haan bhai - where is "Maner ka Laddoo",,,he was offered one, he liked it and he had a few more,,,

In the meantime Manish was busy explaining the history of "Maner ka Laddoo" how it started from Maner, what all it takes for the preparation, how it became popular,,why is it so famous,,,,in this entire episode of discussion - the media was busy clicking pictures and recording their story,,,

Someone in the media had asked - why not a visit to Maner dargah and offer a chadar - he quickly replied - jab bulawa aayenga to jayunga,,,

As Aamir Khan was off to Varanasi to attend a friends' wedding (approx. 210 kms) 6 hours drive,,he was gifted a bag of "Maner ka Laddoo" for his friends and Bollywood. He soon left from Maner to Varanasi,,,

we had dozen phone calls pouring later - did Aamir come to your shop,,what all did he have,,,how was it like meeting him,,,,etc

Thanks Aamir ,,,
