I was always tune deaf, though fleet of foot.
"Anyways, you know, main aaj kal bahaut poetry padhne lagi hoon. This Gopalsdas Neeraj is kaafi good, in fact. Sometimes, to main rone bhi lagti hoon. English poetry? Nahin, English poetry to I can't read much. Unko samajhna kaafi hard hota hai, no?"

Born in 1978 in Allahabad in a house since demolished, I grew up all over Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat (all states in India), and yes, at that time I was that big. Went through 12 schools in as many years (ok 10), which speaks a lot about my adaptability (or my acceptability to others). Started out as a Mechanical Engineer, travelled far to find out that it was too useful and, so, switched to theory. I am now teaching mechanical engineers (theoretically speaking), back there from whence I sprung.

And who is she ... ? It seems she is an English?
No she was Desi. But, don't ask me who. Couple of them were sitting next to me in the cafe where I hold court on weekends. God, did they disrupt my work with inanities about social upliftment, and why they didn't get along with their exes or why they would be willing to give some stupid relationship another try.
No, I wasn't listening in, but the volume of their conversation tore down any soundproofing barrier I could erect.
No, I couldn't move elsewhere, because 1) there was no other place, and 2) they were occupying the place that has been designated Sharma's from the past n years.
Pity, I can understand how hard it must have been for you :-)
