Pata hai aaj kya hua… maybe life is finally starting to move again
Pata hai aaj kya hua…
So I met this guy, . We connected on Reddit because he was looking for people to roam around the city, and I was just trying to step out of my comfort zone and be a little more extroverted… so I texted him first.
Our first meet was early morning. He picked me up and we went to two temples and a ghat. It was honestly one of the most peaceful experiences I’ve had in a long time. The ghat was quiet, no disturbance, just calm water and my own thoughts. After that, we went to ICH for dosa.
When I first saw him, he had a very calm, composed vibe. He was wearing a navy blue short kurta with simple accessories, and yes, he’s good looking. But more than that, he felt peaceful.
We’re both not the type to text 24/7, but even then, he takes initiative most of the time, which I noticed.
Our second meet was around Navratri. We went to Chandidham, saw Mahakali, and I wished for a lot of success there. Then we went to an Amul parlour. This time I took the initiative and asked him what he would like to order. He said, “as tasteful as you,” so I ordered butterscotch ice cream for both of us. Small moment, but it felt nice.
For our third meet, he had already met my sister before, and this time he also saw my father. We went to a photo exhibition. The place was almost empty, and honestly, I loved that. Less crowd means more space to just exist and process my thoughts.
At one point while we were looking at the photos, we were standing really close, our shoulders even touched while talking. It was a quiet, comfortable kind of closeness.
Then a small awkward moment happened. I went a bit too close to one of the pictures to see it properly, and he called me back in a deep voice, saying to stand a little behind so we can view it from the right distance. I told him he was wearing glasses, I wasn’t, so my vision wasn’t that clear.
I don’t know why, but for a second it felt like he was being a little strict or mean, and I almost felt like crying. But it passed quickly. Maybe it was just the tone, or maybe I’m just not used to that kind of directness.
Then we had pastry and just roamed around the city in the evening. It was simple, but it felt complete. Also, a small funny thing I noticed I think I’m better at picking food than him 😄 I chose pineapple pastry (which was honestly so good), and he chose something like rose bella. But after finishing his, he casually started eating from my pastry too… which I didn’t mind.
Later, he said he might be boring to talk to. But I don’t think so. For me, this kind of day is perfect. No chaos, no pressure, just peaceful vibes and someone who matches that energy.
Sometimes I feel like even though we’re both introverts, I become the extrovert when I’m with someone more introverted than me.
I’ve been mostly at home since 2025 preparing for exams, not really going out or living much. But now… it feels like life is slowly starting to move again.
