Luck by chance!

Well this is the story of a narrator and a wannabe narrator. The narrator of a very popular mad ads team was in hell lot of demand after securing the best narrator award at various college fests. Hence he was on cloud nine ever since. Once a debutant director after shooting a short film came up to the wannabe narrator and asked him for the narrator's phone number. Helpful wannabe gave it without hesitation, even after realizing that it was for the voice over of the director's debut movie! Director calls the narrator only to realize that cloud nine is too far and he cant afford his travel fares and hence settles for the wannabe instead! Thanks to the peanut butter and chocolate pastry and some dialogues by a friend, the wannabe does the voice over just in time. The time allotted was one night btw!:D. In a night's time the 2 friends finish scripting and recording, much to the pleasure of the director. Needless to say the director won accolades and some prize for that video he shot. The treat for which is still pending!
So when the new movie was shot, the wannabe was again considered a natural choice. This time in local language Kannada for an All India competition online. Job happens again in the last minute(I am used to that now after being part of last minute tension!) And now see where that landed the wannabe. THE VIDEO WON THE NATIONAL LEVEL COMPETITION. WE ACTUALLY GOT THE BLEEDY NATIONAL AWARD. Accolades and praises are coming down quite heavily!
