So today I had one of this really memorable interaction. What do you feel?
So today again i went out again. I had some decent social moments like this calm interaction with a Scottish woman who is a tourist in Indiranagar area of our city Bangalore in India and 2 Indian women in Church Street area but this one interaction stood out. So in this bookstore named Blossom Bookhouse in Church Street which is a youthful and cosmopolitan area, i saw this woman and initiated a conversation with her while she was browsing in the bookstore. She is from Germany and is traveling. She responded well and when I explained i am just trying to socialize with new people, she instantly initiated a handshake saying nice to meet you and her handshake was so different as usually people use one hand for it but she used both her hands to have a handshake while I used my right hand only. Whats a bit funny is that she asked me whether I am an Indian even though I am one haha. I then asked her whether she is studying or working and she said she completed her Bachelor's in Arts 2 years ago and now mostly traveling around and not working yet. So yeah she is most definitely in the 23-27 age range and I am 25 so we are peers. I also shared I freshly completed my MBA and she congratulated me about it.
I then asked her name and she said it and when I said it, she said wow you have a long name and laughed. I also laughed saying many finds my name hard to pronounce too. Then I asked her where all she traveled and she said she has been just 3 or 4 countries so far. I said she is so lucky. Yeah I genuinely felt she is as she has the freedom to travel whereas many of us 20 somethings here in India who are freshly done with studies but no job yet are stigmatized so her agency impressed me a lot. I asked her how she finds Bangalore and she said it's great but she said she loved Kochi(a city in Kerala State of India) the most. I also shared I have been to Kerala twice and loved the vibe there. She was so warm and bubbly and beautiful at the same time and we had some more back and forth conversations and eventually ended it with another handshake and again she used both her hands and I said her okay have a great day and she said "You too have a great day and take care. See ya" i said the same. Idk everytime she used both her hands to have a handshake, it made me feel some sparks and vibrations and it felt slightly more intimate than normal handshakes even though it was just a normal basic friendliness from her and probably just her style of having handshake. But yeah it was a great interaction to end my today's outing.
