By the way,,this happened in 2019 and it was so hilarious that I have the conversation saved on my phone. Hiding the sender’s privacy is the least I can do.
So this friend of mine from school who happened to work in a different city was in Kolkata for a few days. She casually pinged me up and we exchanged the Hi-Hellos.
And then she decided to meet me! She was in town for a couple of days and probably wanted to catch up with me. Now I found that pretty weird at that point because after school got over in 2014, I had never talked with her, never met her. It had been 5.5 years since we last met, I was wondering why would she meet me!
It further caught me by surprise when she suggested a bar for the meeting that meeting. Everyone in school as well as my college friends knows that I don’t drink alcohol. So inviting me to such a place felt weird. So I said the same to her.
ut it felt like she fell from heaven! As if that was totally unexpected. But then the confusion got cleared.
Apparently, there were two guys with the name ‘Shaunak’ and most probably she had both of us saved by our first names only on the phone. Now I did not have her number saved on my phone, so my Whatsapp profile picture was not visible to her. So by mistake, instead of texting the other Shaunak, she texted me!
I decided to save her the embarrassment, being the gentleman I am, you know! ;)
I shared the correct number with her in case she did not have it already and wish her good luck and took a screenshot of the conversation because of how funny it was!
