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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

Do you think the animation industry will make a breakthrough in creating new voice recordings of dead voice actors and celebrity actors through machine learning (AI)?

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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

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

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.

Me : Sure.

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

How strict are your parents?

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).

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

He : So, are you seeing someone?

Me : I don't drink coffee also

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

He : Then let's have some coffee

He : Tea ?

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

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

Me : I don't drink

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

He : I'm 24.

He : Btw, you're really pretty.

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

Me : No

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

Me : Because it's month of August.

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

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

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

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