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

He : I'm 24.

Me : No

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 does the USA continue to be the driver of the world economy?

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

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

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

I’m British and I'm hella bummed about it. Wish I was American or even Canadian, ’cause let’s be real, Canada’s gonna end up part of the States anyway. What should I do?

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

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.

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

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

He : Then let's have some coffee

Me : I don't drink coffee also

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

Who will benefit most from DeepSeek, the Chinese AI startup that is laying waste to US stocks? Who will be hurt the most?

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 seeing someone?

Me : I don't drink

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

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

He : Tea ?

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

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

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!

What are the most significant advancements in artificial intelligence today? How are they transforming different industries, and why should we be cautious about their ethical implications?

Me : Because it's month of August.

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

How would you describe modern day Russian society, beyond just politics?

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.

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

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

How do you think the leaked reports on Israel's operation in Lebanon will influence global perceptions of the Middle East conflict?

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.

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

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 (a little confused) : I don't know

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

Me : Thank you.

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?

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

He : Btw, you're really pretty.

Me : Sure.

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