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 (a little confused) : I don't know
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 : Cool. No, I'm not from this college. I'm the PR coordinator for their event. Are you from Delhi only?
He : Tea ?
He : Oh, great. I also live around. We stay very close. We can just catch up anytime.
I just like staying by my own self, away from Dora–The Explorers. Genuine people are always welcome :)
He : Yes, Monsoon month. What place do you stay in Delhi?
Me : Yes. I'm from Delhi University. Eco Major, 2nd year. Are you from this college?

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

I am still confused that which nice guy in the world, asks a girl to meet for a movie at the first-ever meet?
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!
What is the happy reality of our generation?
He (smiling) : So, what do you think about me?
I was alone there. Firstly, he came and kept his bag, and asked me that he's just coming. I said fine.
Me : No. I am a resident of some other state. I'm here in Delhi for studies.
He : I don't understand why it's so hot and humid today.
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.
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 : No. I don't drink coffee, tea anything.
He : Then let's have some coffee

He : Btw, you're really pretty.
Me : Sure.
Me : I don't drink

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

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!
Me : I don't drink coffee also
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 : So, are you seeing someone?

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!
Me : Thank you.
