He : Yes, Monsoon month. What place do you stay in Delhi?
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 : Because it's month of August.
What is the Abu Shusha massacre in Palestine?
Me : No. I don't drink coffee, tea anything.
He : Okay. Fine. We can just watch a movie. Have some fun. What's your age?
Me : Ok. Although, I don't feel age has anything to do with the understanding and experience of a person.
P.S. : The conversation above is filtered removing all the rubbish, “normal” slangs of metropolitan city's students.
I was feeling as if I was being flattered too much.
He : Btw, you're really pretty.

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

Me : I'm around 17 & You? (Don't take me literally)
Let me tell you, this guy is already an MBA pass-out student and I'm just a Sophomore at my UG.
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.
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 : No. I am a resident of some other state. I'm here in Delhi for studies.
Then the friend whom he was with, he also went away to the canteen. Now, only this guy was there alone. Standing!

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 (a little confused) : I don't know
I just like staying by my own self, away from Dora–The Explorers. Genuine people are always welcome :)
New COVID variant is spreading. Don’t underestimate it, experts say. - NJ.com
Me : I don't drink
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!
I was alone there. Firstly, he came and kept his bag, and asked me that he's just coming. I said fine.
What is after school detention like in your school?
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!
Me : No

He : I'm 24.
He : I don't understand why it's so hot and humid today.
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 (smiling) : So, what do you think about me?
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 : Cool. No, I'm not from this college. I'm the PR coordinator for their event. Are you from Delhi only?
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.
Let's be a little serious. Is there any “Student of the Year” movie going on here in Delhi/Gurgaon colleges?
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 : Sure.
He : So, are you seeing someone?
Me : Yes. I'm from Delhi University. Eco Major, 2nd year. Are you from this college?
He : Tea ?
Me (smiling, hesitant but firm) : I don't think anything.
Me : I don't drink coffee also
I was already blown that why being a 24 year old, he's being creepy with me.
He : Oh, great. I also live around. We stay very close. We can just catch up anytime.
