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

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).

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 (a little confused) : I don't know

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

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

Me : Because it's month of August.

I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

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

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

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.

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

Me : No

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 : Tea ?

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

What is one harsh truth about people's opinions on TXT?

He : I'm 24.

He : So, are you seeing someone?

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.

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

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

He : Btw, you're really pretty.

How do you know when someone really loves you?

Me : Thank you.

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

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

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

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!

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

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. 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 : Sure.

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

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

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

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

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).

What is the boldest and craziest thing your mother has ever done for you?

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 : 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.

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

He : Then let's have some coffee

Me : I don't drink

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 :)

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