What made you recently say to yourself, “Wait. Really?”

I was in an event in a management college of Gurgaon. I didn't knew the campus well. There was still some time left for the event to start. I was waiting for a speaker, who had invited me.

He : Yeah. Getting. I have also been here for years now. But I'm fed with Delhi. I have lived in Mangalore. My family is from Chandigarh. Madhya Pradesh you know.

He : Cool. No, I'm not from this college. I'm the PR coordinator for their event. Are you from Delhi only?

Me : Because it's month of August.

I was already blown that why being a 24 year old, he's being creepy with me.

P.S. : The conversation above is filtered removing all the rubbish, “normal” slangs of metropolitan city's students.

Me : I'm around 17 & You? (Don't take me literally)

He : So, are you here just for the event? What college and course do you have?

Me : No. I don't drink coffee, tea anything.

Meanwhile, I was wondering from when did Chandigarh came in Madhya Pradesh? Maybe, I need to revisit geography of 10th standard again, or does he need it badly. Management, you know!

Me (smiling, hesitant but firm) : I don't think anything.

He : Okay. Fine. We can just watch a movie. Have some fun. What's your age?

Me : No

Me : Ok. Although, I don't feel age has anything to do with the understanding and experience of a person.

He : So, are you seeing someone?

Me (a little confused) : I don't know

He : Then let's have some coffee

I was alone there. Firstly, he came and kept his bag, and asked me that he's just coming. I said fine.

I sat there on the bench for a while. There was a boy standing by my side. Seemed an official, but maybe a management graduate. Offcourse well dressed (Cream shirt and black pants), offcourse smart, with a good accent and Delhi attitude (too much slang).

I am still confused that which nice guy in the world, asks a girl to meet for a movie at the first-ever meet?

Me : I don't drink

What is the boldest and craziest thing your mother has ever done for you?

He : Yes, Monsoon month. What place do you stay in Delhi?

Then the friend whom he was with, he also went away to the canteen. Now, only this guy was there alone. Standing!

He : Tea ?

Why is Taylor Swift re-recording her albums?

He (smiling) : So, what do you think about me?

By now, he was at least sure that I'm not the kind of girl, he's looking for. With the excuse of a phone call, he moved towards the auditorium.

He : I'm 24.

Me : I don't drink coffee also

He : If you're free anytime let's catch up. Have some drinks!

He : I don't understand why it's so hot and humid today.

What do you think of India's IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw comparing the Indian government's efforts to build a localised AI model to sending a mission to the moon at a fraction of the cost?

Me : Yes. I'm from Delhi University. Eco Major, 2nd year. Are you from this college?

I just like staying by my own self, away from Dora–The Explorers. Genuine people are always welcome :)

By now, I have already understood what he's trying to do. Still, I waited. So, I told him a place nearby to my locality.

Yeah, I can understand that you're exploring. You're another “Dora - The Explorer” from Delhi. So, you should also find girls who're just explorers like you. Keep playing DORA-DORA!

Even in movies, you won't find any guy reaching out to a girl and asking for movies, drinks and chill at the first meet. The female character would literally slap such a guy (in movies).

He : Oh, great. I also live around. We stay very close. We can just catch up anytime.

He : Oh. You know, I also had Eco major. We both stay in South Delhi. We both are single. So much similiarities. And you're pretty also. What do you do on weekends?

Me : Thank you.

I was feeling as if I was being flattered too much.

Let me tell you, this guy is already an MBA pass-out student and I'm just a Sophomore at my UG.

Me : No. I am a resident of some other state. I'm here in Delhi for studies.

Me : Sure.

He : Btw, you're really pretty.

Let's be a little serious. Is there any “Student of the Year” movie going on here in Delhi/Gurgaon colleges?
