I went to a club the other day with friends to try to meet new people here. Here is how the conversation went.
Me: Hi,there
The other person: Hello
Me: My name is Meghna. And you?
The other person : so_and_so.What do you do?
Me: I am a student at the U. You?
The other person: A student huh?! Hmm. Interesting..
That went in a for loop with every other person that I met. Well mostly, till it was almost midnight and I had no energy or patience to be there.
I just could not find anything interesting to talk about, and I had nothing particular to contribute to the restaurant scene of Chicago, towards which the conversation steered. It was odd. I love my friends that I went along with, but umm.. may be this is not for me. I am ok by myself. Doing quite good, thank you. I have accepted that I am an introvert(funny I never thought myself to be one), and just "hit it off" with a very small fraction of people that I meet, which itself is low by the way.
A very strange phase of my life. I actually had to pause and think which word would best describe this phase and all I could come up with was "strange". I love nature and it feels like somebody has played a cruel joke on me by sending me to Minnesota. I can only laugh at this irony. I at least am hell bent on achieving what I came here for. I would not let this come in the way. Nope, sir, no way!
