What made you recently say to yourself, “Wait. Really?”
Last Updated: 17.06.2025 00:53

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 : No. I am a resident of some other state. I'm here in Delhi for studies.
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.
What are some reasons why people may fear strong men?
He : If you're free anytime let's catch up. Have some drinks!
He (smiling) : So, what do you think about me?
Me : No. I don't drink coffee, tea anything.
Why should you never do drugs? Will this story absolutely shock you?
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?
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!
How do you write lyrics for a song that resonates with listeners?
I was feeling as if I was being flattered too much.
Me : Ok. Although, I don't feel age has anything to do with the understanding and experience of a person.
He : Tea ?
What's a joke you haven't used yet, but are dying to share?
I was alone there. Firstly, he came and kept his bag, and asked me that he's just coming. I said fine.
He : Yes, Monsoon month. What place do you stay in Delhi?
Me : I don't drink
Which one is better to guys, boobs or butt?
He : I don't understand why it's so hot and humid today.
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
Me : Yes. I'm from Delhi University. Eco Major, 2nd year. Are you from this college?
He : So, are you here just for the event? What college and course do you have?
Me : Because it's month of August.
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).
Me (smiling, hesitant but firm) : I don't think anything.
He : Btw, you're really pretty.
What are the signs of covert narcissistic abuse that most people miss?
Let's be a little serious. Is there any “Student of the Year” movie going on here in Delhi/Gurgaon colleges?
He : I'm 24.
Me : I'm around 17 & You? (Don't take me literally)
He : Then let's have some coffee
Me : No
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).
When do you feel most peaceful ever?
Me : Sure.
I am still confused that which nice guy in the world, asks a girl to meet for a movie at the first-ever meet?
P.S. : The conversation above is filtered removing all the rubbish, “normal” slangs of metropolitan city's students.
What are some of your shocking stories?
He : Oh, great. I also live around. We stay very close. We can just catch up anytime.
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 : Thank you.
He : Okay. Fine. We can just watch a movie. Have some fun. What's your age?
I just like staying by my own self, away from Dora–The Explorers. Genuine people are always welcome :)
Then the friend whom he was with, he also went away to the canteen. Now, only this guy was there alone. Standing!
Let me tell you, this guy is already an MBA pass-out student and I'm just a Sophomore at my UG.
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 already blown that why being a 24 year old, he's being creepy with me.
Me : I don't drink coffee also
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!
