This is how it was socially this week plus the pleasant bump-in. What do you feel about it?
So 2 days ago on Monday in Koramangala area of our city Bangalore in India, in this cafe named Big Bean Cafe I initiated conversation with this pair of women who were Indian too. Yeah they weren't really busy on laptop and were just chilling with a coffee and chatting so I initiated conversation with both of them by walking up to them and it was a great interaction. Both engaged, one of them asked my name first too. They are also recently done with their master's in science and I am recently done with my MBA so we are peers basically. They are likely in the 23-25/26 age range and I am 25. They even asked which University I did my MBA and I asked about their MSc too. I even mentioned that I am just trying to meet new people as MBA is recently done for me so just being more outgoing but they said its a good thing.
They even asked whether I am new in Bangalore and whether I have friends. I said I am from Siliguri in West Bengal but living in Bangalore since 2008 and I mentioned I don't have many friends as I used to be introverted before. I also asked them where they are from and they said they are from Bangalore itself. They even jokingly asked me whether I learned Kannada (the local language in Bangalore and Karnataka state of India) or not and I in an embarrassed blushing tone said no I didn't and they laughed about it. A great interaction overall and they were very beautiful women. But this man sitting a few tables away from them was staring at me the full time. Yes while talking to those 2 women while standing near their table, I facing towards this man too sitting a few tables away who wasn't even with them. He instead of just briefly glancing and going back to his laptop, kept staring at me the whole time. He stopped working on his laptop at the moment and full time he was staring until the conversation ended. He didn't intervene or anything plus it was a quite empty Cafe on a Monday afternoon so yeah.
Yesterday tho, I mostly had brief interactions with foreigners who were really older than me. Like this German expat woman in Starbucks of Trinity Circle of our city. She is a lot older mostly well into her 40s maybe even 50 and is a working professional. We had a brief friendly interaction and exchanged a few words there and eventually she had a handshake with me saying it was nice meeting you and eventually said she had a call to attend and I wished her a great day. But I had a great bump-in close to Church Street and it wasn't with any woman but with this same older Korean man likely in his 50s with whom I talked last week Thursday in Starbucks of Lavelle Road. So last week when I said him Hi, he responded Hi in a very friend enthusiastic way and I asked him which country he is from and he said Korea and then I wished him a great day.
Yesterday while entering Church Street, I again saw him and greeted at him and he smiled and immediately recognized me and said "Oh hi. I remember we talked that day". I said yeah man. And he asked me how are you doing. I said him I am doing good and asked him too. We were walking to the opposite directions tho so we wished each other a good day tho. But yeah he was in a business suit and we still talked. He is likely a senior professional expat as I seen him several times around in Lavelle Road and Central Bangalore. I would definitely some day love to ask him about how South Korea was when he was younger, about the music back then and whether it was so popular globally too like kpop and kdramas are which are very popular now in India and also globally. I would love to know from him who was the most famous singer of his time. What do you feel?
