Last summer, while I was making my way home along the violet line, an unexpected, delightful encounter occurred. Among the throngs of commuters at Lajpat Nagar Metro Station, a girl, in her hurried state, accidentally knocked my wired earphones loose. Although her smile and quick apology were charming, my personal concert of Ray LaMontagne abruptly came to a close.
As she nestled into a seat designated for women, her eyes remained apologetically locked on mine. I pretended to be engrossed in my phone, but couldn’t escape the knowing glance from a fellow traveler next to her, signaling, “Moment Hain!”
Suddenly, a notification from YouTube broke my train of thought. At first, I assumed it was merely a reminder for another YouTube Premium subscription, but it read, “Tune into The Ranveer Show featuring EAM Dr. S. Jaishankar.” This piqued my curiosity about its relevance. I quickly dismissed the notification, silently urging Ray to return to his soothing melodies before I lost my grip on reality.
Days flew by without seeing the girl again, but my phone kept buzzing with similar alerts, each featuring a different Minister or YouTuber/interviewer.
Dr. S. Jaishankar’s memes became staples on YouTube Shorts.
As time rolled on, weeks morphed into months; the Earth wrapped up its yearly cosmic journey while Saitama effortlessly vanquished innumerable S-class monsters, India’s heart sank in the 2023 Cricket World Cup Finals, and the Indian markets surged. YouTube eventually stopped suggesting TRS clips.
Until today.
In my search for the latest on Indian Elections, I stumbled upon a new TRS clip featuring a different political figure. Coincidentally, I encountered the girl once more. She accidentally bumped into my earphones again. She offered a shy apology, this time adding, “Clumsy me!” This time, however, we laughed together.
