Yes I did. No I'm not kidding. Yes it was weird and the largest coincidence of my life to date.
I was having coffee with an Nepalese-Indian friend in Civic (Canberra city) last night and the talk turned to cricket. Of course, I had to bring up my favourite cricketer and current celebrity crush - Irfan Pathan. So we talked about him for a while and then the conversation drifted to other important things such as hinduism and how Ganesh got his elephant head.
Anyway, my friend, who's name is Rahul, looked up bewildered at these two Indian men and an Indian girl who walked past. I thought he was looking at the girl and thought it was a bit rude to openly stare in public (she was very pretty :P) but he just kept looking and kept going "Thats...Thats..." I thought..."that's who?" And he goes "That's Irfan Pathan!"
I looked at the corner and sure enough it was him! I'm not mistaken! Either that or there was an Indian in Canberra who has the good fortune of looking like India's most eligible bachelor!
He stood on the corner for a good five minutes and I didn't even get his autograph! I was very disappointed in myself.
I rang my mum and dad the next morning and they said...are you sure? They're argument was that I must have been mistaken because the whole Indian cricket team had gone back to a parade of cricket mad fans.
But I googled him today and low and behold look what I found: 
From The Times of India
Yes, I am positive that was the girl he was with last night :P Apparently Miss Shivangi Dev is the daughter of a Canberra diplomat and currently a very high search topic in India. She was very pretty and I only joined the legions of jealous girls!
Because I had literally been talking about him ten minutes before he rounded the corner I am seriously considering taking up a psychic career! That's the only way I can explain such an amazing coincidence.
And no I am not joking! I am true blue...
