A Chat With "Adi"

Aditya is one of my batch mates. He is one of those all A types and hence I was quite curious to know what his grades were when he came online on Tuesday. This is a result of that conversation:

(The text has been slightly formatted. Changed two names and one email id to protect the innocent. It had happened in gtalk. The nick of Aditya was his cellphone number which is replaced by his real nickname.)

(End of conversation)


You can imagine my amazement that morning. It turns out Aditya was not at all involved in the conversation (initially I thought he was playing around but after "he" persisted for that long during the chat session, it seemed unlikely anyway). The weird thing is that she claims to be from Secunderabad while Adi lives in Vizag and that was where he lasted check his account (in a net cafe).
