So I had this very good interaction today. What do you feel about it?
So in 1MG Lido mall of Trinity Circle in our city Bangalore in India, in the snacks area of the mall, I saw this foreign woman and initiated a conversation with her. She was very open to interaction and I said her "I am just socializing with new people and I enjoy talking to new people" so she replied saying "That's really great i appreciate it." Then when I asked her whether she is working in Bangalore or just traveling, she said she is working here and lives here and she is from the US. Yeah she is a long term American expat here in the city. I asked her for how long she is living in the city, she said for about 10 years. I said her I am also living here since 2008 but I was a child so she said "Oh so you came with your parents?" I said yes. Then I shared about my MBA freshly done and she asked whether I am opening a business but I said that I am just looking for a job in Business Analyst roles. So she wished me luck for that. She also shared that she field she works in too. She is older actually and looks about mid 30s to early 40s age range and I am 25 but it was a socially rich moment for me. We exchanged names and she even asked me where in India I am from after hearing my name and I said West Bengal and she said she would love to visit there some day. She even laughed saying she barely explored many places in the country. We eventually ended the conversation saying it was nice meeting you and have a great day and a handshake.
I also met this another woman from Estonia in Blossom Bookhouse of Church Street area and she is a tourist too and was very friendly and was just browsing there but when I asked her whether she is working in Bangalore or just traveling, she said "I am traveling with my boyfriend". So yeah even though my intention was just socializing, i politely disengaged saying "Okay it was nice to meet you, have a great day" after she mentioned her boyfriend. So yeah this was a very brief interaction. What do you feel tho?
