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

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

He : Btw, you're really pretty.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Me : No

He : Tea ?

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

Me : I don't drink coffee also

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).

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

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

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

How has your life changed for the past 10 years? Can you share your #10year challenge? Is your life better, worse, or still hopeful?

Me : Sure.

He : I'm 24.

He : So, are you seeing someone?

How do you deal with a neighbor stealing?

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

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

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?

What do you think about Christie’s New York sale dedicated solely to art created with artificial intelligence (AI)? To what extent is AI art a legitimate form of art?

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

Me : Thank you.

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

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

Me : Because it's month of August.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

Me : I don't drink

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

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!

He : Then let's have some coffee
