Thriller System is supreme

So, Richa Are you a cycling enthusiast ??
Richa---- Yeah, why do you ask ?
Me---- Nothing. I have seen your cycling prowess in the morning. So have you been into professional cycling or what ?
Richa---- Nothing like that. Yeah but cycling is my favorite pastime hobby. We even used to have cycling races back in Highcollege. Although i got break from it due to hectic preparation in intermediate. But i was glad that i could revive that hobby here in the campus.
Me---- Good to know that.
Richa---- But hey. You too are not bad, your cycling speed is not bad too. Are you actually making fun of me ??
Me---- Hahaha. Have you actually seen my face at that time?? I cycled as if my life is dependent on that. It required superhuman effort on my side, my normal cycling speed is nowhere near that. By the way, are you a member of the cycling club in the campus ??
Richa---- Yes. I actually acted as secretary to the club last year. But this year due to placements and all i had to leave administrative duties to the juniors.
Me---- wow. So, you are an allrounder. And here i thought you are just beauty with brains. But seriously are you bad in anything at all ??
Richa---- Hehehe. You need not praise me that much. But what is this stereotyping anyway as if a beauty will not be intelligent in general. I received it many a times, it felt good at first but later got sick of it. I am all for feminism, we are equals, women can and will compete with men on equal grounds on an equal footing.
Me---- Heyhey. I am sorry if i said anything wrong, but i meant it in a positive way.
Richa---- This whole thing that women are from venus and men are from mars mindset is absolutely wrong. Actually now that i think about it with emergence of AI, and enhanced use of prosthetics which can enhance physical capabilities of us humans, even the slight physical handicap vis-a-vis men can be overcome. I think it might bring about true equality in that sense.
Me---- Hmm. That's true. But i am all for Metaverse and virtual reality. There it is just coding and you get enhanced physical capabilities or even better the programme itself can be designed in such a way that men and women characters discrimination in terms of physical capabilities do not arise in the first place itself. That can be more sustainable--economically and environmentally as people do not fight in reality. Otherwise if we go with enhanced prosthetics, Brain power powered by AI it will only result in more conflicts within nations and more exploitation of scarce resources on the planet.
Richa---- Wow you are an interesting guy. That is too deep. Are you always like this ??

I blushed and my cheeks turned slightly red.
Richa----- Hahaha Are you actually blushing ??

Arun is now coming towards us and noticed that Richa is laughing hard.
Arun---- Hey What's up ? What am i missing here ?
Richa---- Arun look, Avi is blushing, actually Avi you look cute you should have been a girl then we could have been best buddies.

My heart is thumping hard now, i felt as if Richa and Arun can hear it. The butterflies in my stomach are getting intense and i lost all the taste of vada i am eating and it felt tasteless now. I am not craving my most favorite item anymore. I can only look at her lips and milky white teeth and her playful pink tongue protruding out occassionally. I am actually badly feeling like kissing her.

Arun---- Hey Stupid Bricks!!! Are you even listening ?? She's just kidding. Eat it soon we are gonna be late for our next class. Prof. Das is gonna skin us alive if we get late to his class.
Richa---- wow. You actually took Prof.Das's Breadth subject. {Breadths are subjects students can choose from outside the department depending on their interests. If you choose subjects from your own department it will be called depths--i.e., you are digging deeper into your department while breadth subjects broaden your horizons}. He goes very hard while giving grades, i heard that one-third of his class have failed in the last year.

Arun---- Yes. I am very much interested in Intellectual Property Rights. I am all in to become an Entrepreneur in the future and why leave this subject when it can help my future endeavours. Sometimes you need to have long time goals in perspective. Anyway the class only had 18 students last year, so only 6 failed. When you compare it with a breadth subject with a larger pool of students, it will be obviously at a disadvantage, as even some bad fruits can spoil the ratio when you have lesser pool of students.
Avi----Bootlicker.
Arun---- Look who is the one talking. Unlike someone here who does it a way better job for a certain someone.
Richa---- Anyway i think you people are really a couple. I mean the way you fight, but you are together all the time, you choose the same electives, same breadths, same internships, even the same bed. Hahaha. She is holding her stomach now while laughing, and the Veggies came to a standstill at this moment with Richa in spotlight. Her cuteness knows no bounds and the men's looks can actually pierce her if they can.
Arun---- OK. It is just that we have common interests, but sorry Richa we have to have this talk some other time, we are getting late. Hey Bricks!!! Getup we are gonna be late for the class.

Me----- I immediately put the whole leftover vada in my mouth at once and drank the dahi in one go while cleaning my mouth with kerchief the spilt dahi, not even caring for my image infront of Richa.
Richa while laughing---- OKOK. You guys can leave. I have 1 hour until my next class and be careful while cycling, it is peak hour when the outside traffic comes into the campus. [One of the roads in the campus is open for outside traffic for a limited volume for specific time at peak hours. Although Students resolutions are passed to the Institute vice president over and over to stop the flow. Few years ago, a student has lost his life over one such accident].

Me---- OK Thankyou. Can you please pick my plate also and place it in the basin, there is some queue there, i am gonna be late.
Richa---- OK. No probs.
Me---- Byebye
Richa---- Bye.

I left Veggies with a heavy heart. But atleast my heart is getting a relief from that heavy thumping which is going on over the last one hour.
