Inauguration

I recently attended the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations, a four day conference which is held in one Asian country every year. This year, it was held in Singapore and yours truly was selected based on her application.
Anyway, pre-HPAIR, I was an active participant on the forums, where I got the opportunity to interact with delegates. To my chagrin, in every delegate's profile, their email address is displayed, and this became a problem for me when I checked my inbox to find:

hi i really like your name, very indian!

You think? I was going more for Ethiopian. Oh well.

well, im m____, 22, from india and im studying law, in my penultimate year.

So?

i love to chill, have fun, meet new people and make friends.

If you think that is something to elicit a reaction, certainly not! Dude, chilling and making friends are activities normal and mentally stable people do. Suggesting that these are hobbies? That's when my red alert goes off.

well the first thing i noticed was your smile in your pic, it was captivating! really beautiful. which has prompted me to send this email....

I know, right?

well it would be nice to get to know people before the conference.do you have a bigger picture of you?

So that you can jerk off to it?

my msn is m_______ we cna chat there too if u want..hope to hear from you soon

mihir

I honestly was not expecting such an email from someone allegedly intellectually superior and educated, enlightened blah blah blah. Anyway, I did add him on msn, did not tell him at all who I was, and scared the living daylights out of him too. I wish to God I had saved that conversation, but hell, I have the next best thing. My reply:

Hey Mihir,
Thanks for telling me that I have a beautiful smile, and I largely attribute it to my teeth, for which I give credit to my good genes. As for my name, I'm not too big a fan of it but I guess it's always good to know there are others who appreciate it. So you study law...how useful.
It is definitely nice to get to know people before the conference, which is precisely why the forum has been set up.
I do have bigger pictures of me, but they can only be viewed by individuals whom I know physically. I'm sure that after the conference, you'll stand a chance.
Thanks,
Ketki

I love me.

Oh yes...and one more thing....THE BITCH IS BACK!!!
