Beatles
Win A Game Of
Hide-And-Seek
It was an unequal race: two little boys on bicycles spiritedly
trying to chase automobiles. Before long they had lost track. Disappointed,
but not quite beaten, they asked: 'Which way have they gone, Sir?'
On Wednesday "they" in the world of teenagers could only
mean the Beatles, The British pop singers who arrived in the capital
on Tuesday.
And Beatles, the mop-headed deities of pop music, were equally determined
to keep the devotees at bay. The whole morning they confined themselves
to their rooms, aware that 500 fans had laid siege to the hotel
at the first crack of dawn.
There was many a false alarm, of boys and girls excitedly rushing
across the sprawling lobby running along the concrete driveway.
The vigil was unfaltering. Or so it seemed till shortly afternoon
the two boys saw the Beatles get out from a backdoor and rush into
two ordinary looking taxis, not the gleaming VIP cars of the previous
night.

The
boys instantly, almost intuitively, jumped on to their bicycles
to begin the futile chase. They shouted and screamed as they pedaled
furiously. Many motor cars, loaded with teenagers, joined the chase
but the elusive Beatles, for the moment at least, seemed to have
successfully dodged their hysterical fans.
Still dressed in their fancy shirts, their hair as shaggy as ever,
the Beatles were in a relaxed mood when I met them in their hotel
suite in the evening. A Sikh sitar player was giving lessons to
sitar-lover George Harrison. While John Lennon was trying to play
a "been" (snake charmers' flute). George would not be
disturbed. And Ringo Starr was busy photographing George. So Paul
McCartney and John decided to "do the talking".
"It was great just great - the people of Delhi, the sights
of Delhi". In fact what little they saw of Delhi and its people
was enough to convince them that India is worth a second visit.
