What made you recently say to yourself, “Wait. Really?”
15.06.2025 10:49

I was feeling as if I was being flattered too much.
Me : I'm around 17 & You? (Don't take me literally)
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 : Yes. I'm from Delhi University. Eco Major, 2nd year. Are you from this college?
He (smiling) : So, what do you think about me?
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.
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 : Because it's month of August.
What's your review of the movie Poor Things?
He : If you're free anytime let's catch up. Have some drinks!
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 : I don't drink
Let me tell you, this guy is already an MBA pass-out student and I'm just a Sophomore at my UG.
I am still confused that which nice guy in the world, asks a girl to meet for a movie at the first-ever meet?
Then the friend whom he was with, he also went away to the canteen. Now, only this guy was there alone. Standing!
Me : No
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!
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).
How do scammers communicate? Do they have a specific language or slang?
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.
He : Tea ?
He : Cool. No, I'm not from this college. I'm the PR coordinator for their event. Are you from Delhi only?
I was alone there. Firstly, he came and kept his bag, and asked me that he's just coming. I said fine.
He : Oh, great. I also live around. We stay very close. We can just catch up anytime.
If sea levels were rising, wouldn't the acreage of coastal salt marshes increase? Are they?
Me : I don't drink coffee also
Me (smiling, hesitant but firm) : I don't think anything.
I just like staying by my own self, away from Dora–The Explorers. Genuine people are always welcome :)
Why is the word "democracy" not in the preamble of the US Constitution?
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 : Thank you.
How do military families handle communication when a service member is injured overseas?
Me : No. I don't drink coffee, tea anything.
He : Yes, Monsoon month. What place do you stay in Delhi?
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.
Why are people with Asperger syndrome unenthusiastic?
Me : Ok. Although, I don't feel age has anything to do with the understanding and experience of a person.
Me : Sure.
He : I don't understand why it's so hot and humid today.
What are some cool confidence hacks?
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 : Then let's have some coffee
He : Btw, you're really pretty.
Why do people say "tall, dark, and handsome" when they actually mean "tall, white, and handsome"?
Me : No. I am a resident of some other state. I'm here in Delhi for studies.
He : So, are you here just for the event? What college and course do you have?
He : Okay. Fine. We can just watch a movie. Have some fun. What's your age?

He : So, are you seeing someone?
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.
