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 : 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?

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

How can reading fiction be turned from escapism into personal growth?

Me : No

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).

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.

Why would the United States need a fleet of the F-47 fighter jet fielded in the 2030s?

Me : I don't drink coffee also

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.

Me : I don't drink

What's the biggest myth about illegal immigrants?

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 : So, are you seeing someone?

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

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 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 : Then let's have some coffee

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

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!

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

What is your prediction for the future of our society? How long do you think it will take for us to address and fix current issues?

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

He : Btw, you're really pretty.

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

How do you stop your balls from sweating?

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Do you like to wear a see-through skirt?

He : I'm 24.

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

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

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

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?

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

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

Me : Thank you.

Me : Sure.

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

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

He : Tea ?
