Youth devise new ideas to woo girls

Things have not changed much in certain quarters, especially for actor Deepika Padukone, who still prefers the evergreen dating tip of “making an eye contact”.

When we asked youngsters if they too think the same, some preferred the age-old tip, while others have devised new techniques.
Tanish Gupta, first year B.Tech student, IP University, says these are not the times of dropping those unnamed letters. “Following a girl for months before dropping that secret letter to confess your feelings doesn’t work now. Neither can you impress girls with funny pick-up lines. Today, girls are smart and prefer a guy who approaches them directly. They like confidence,” he says.
The modus operandi that Tanish follows is finding everything about the girl, for which social networking websites come handy, and then approach the possible date braced with subjects of her interest.
While Tanish, disagrees, Abha Grover, first year BBE student at Khalsa College, says persistent following by admirers still work for girls. “I know this guy in college who follows me everywhere I go. I can spot him outside the canteen, the common room or my class. Though he does not say anything directly, I know he is around. Sooner or later he will approach me,” she says.
Talking practical, Rishi from Ramjas College, thinks it’s not simple to get a date by just making an eye contact. “You certainly have to go beyond that. If you are loaded with money and have a car or a bike to zip around, it’s easy to find a date. Otherwise, you have to solely bank on your luck. You get the best dates in debate clubs, drama society or at any radical group in college, if you stand out at all the places. My formula — learn to play guitar and you can make every girl go weak in her knees,” he says.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
