He was definitely not my type.
He was definitely not my type.
I was born and brought up in Delhi, with the best exposure to world cinema, music, and art. We were starkly different.

It was the sincerity written all over his face and his focus. In spite of being from a small town, he was not enamoured.

His smartness was of a different kind. That is to prove through skill and not only by words.
