It was evening. I had just returned to the hostel. I parked my cycle and was climbing up the stairs. I met this fellow who had joined recently to the hostel.
me: "Whats your name?"
Him: "Ghanshyam"
me: "Which department are you in?"
Ghanshyam: "MRC"
me: "Oh Ok.." (MRC means Materials Research Centre)
I began climbing the stairs...he followed me..
me:"Where is your room?"
GS:"No: 65"
Me: "Oh next to mine...."(Just to keep him along with the conversation..)
GS:"Yeah.."
I reach my room in the first floor...and open the door.He still stays with me..
Me: "By the Way what are you working on?"
GS: "Lithography of Galium arcenide substrate...."
Me:"What??"
GS:"Yeah, i do the patterning of the photoresist and deposit metal on top of it to build a IR sensor...blah blah blah.."
Me:"Ok Ok"
GS:"What about you?" (i knew newtons 3rd law works here too..)
Me:"MEMS"
GS:" You are from which college?"
Me:"MIT,manipal"
