Man live-tweets love-business rendezvous on a train journey and it’s hilariously epic

What’s interesting however is that the man tweeting had full network coverage most of the time. Nevertheless, follow the live commentary right here.

1/ Marwari boy is trying to impress the girl sitting next to him. 15 mins later, he’s pimping his business 😂 #Dhandho #ShatabdiExpress

2/ The girl works in a startup. Of course. Boy makes an offer the girl can’t refuse – fantastic price for supplying branded t-shirts.

3/ Boy has already called his factory to check the production schedule, and is promising to deliver in 24 hours. #Hustle

4/ Girl has made 5 calls to her 2 co-founders so far. Yet to decide. Nimble startups, my ass! Boy is showing fabric samples now. Whatay!

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

5/ Boy pulls out family pics, and starts narrating his grandfather’s entrepreneurial journey; co-founders yet to call back. Fascinating!

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

6/ And the girl gets real estate advice for free. Looks like he may sell her a flat too 😄 2 more calls, and still no decision.

7/ Talk turns to funding! Girl’s startup got seeded with ‘just’ 2 Cr – they’re making every Paisa count. Boy’s father gave him 50K in 2008 😂

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

8/ …and they say that family businesses will die. That’s all, folks! [P.S. No decision yet]

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

9/ Breakfast done. Now they’re talking education. Boy failed 5th grade; Girl is an engineer from REC.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

10/ Whoa! The girl’s startup is building a platform to help sellers list products across sites. And he’s the first such seller they’ve met 😳

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

11/ How do you build a tech product without even meeting potential customers?! And they’ve raised 2 Crores in funding!

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

12/ Have to pee, but I don’t want to miss a thing! 😁 Boy has loads of commonsense; thankfully, Girl is Evernote-ing everything.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

13/ Boy is just 24, with 10 years of experience! Branched off on his own at 16 with the 50K in funding from his dad. #KissHimAlready

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

14/ Ah, the conversation suddenly turns to love and marriage. Girl, nonchalantly, drops the words ‘Tamil Brahmin’ #headdesk

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

15/ Thankfully, that was a brief digression. Girl is now talking about the importance of higher education; ironically, she’s being schooled.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

16/ This Boy is a rockstar; asks the Girl to check with her co-founders. Random abuses are hurled at Airtel 😂

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

17/ Girl’s co-founders have to check with their CA before placing such orders. What?! Boy smiles.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

18/ Girl passes a snide remark about how people are slaves to their gadgets. *points at me* Just because I have my headphones on. Sigh.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

19/ Yay! Girl has to pee. BRB.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

20/ This delay was sponsored by Airtel’s fabulous network. Meanwhile, Boy has extended his ticket to Chennai; his destination was Katpadi.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

21/ Boy is telling the Girl about this restaurant in Bangalore that charges customers for the time spent; the food is free. Hmmmm…

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

22/ The co-founders must be building mathematical models to evaluate the offer – should send them DCF templates. Still no word.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

23/ Girl is now talking about potential Series A investors; full-on name dropping happening. Boy has a mild amused-met-confused smile on.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

24/ And the laptop comes out. Yes, it’s a Mac. Google Sheets is not opening. Airtel gets some more bad karma 😂

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

25/ No, you silly girl. Google Slides won’t open either. Sidebar: Dear Airtel, feed a million kids in Africa to atone.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

26/ Girl: Numbers are only for the investors. You should feel the business in your blood. #TWSS to a Marwari boy!

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

27/ 45 minutes to go. Close the deal, dude! *random banter about lakes* Co-founders are still deciding, it seems. Very agile of them.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

28/ Aiyyo! Girl’s mother is Herbalife and Amway agent; she learnt a lot watching her uneducated mother work hard to grow her business 😳

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

29/ Hallelujah! Co-founders have found a cheaper site. Boy throws in additional 2% cash discount, and delivery tonight. Whatay!

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

30/ Girl has walked out to talk on the phone. Boy is pleading with his dad – don’t think they have the free capacity to deliver today 😄

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

31/ Looks like we have a deal! But the Girl wants more discount. Boy swears on their friendship (😳?) that he’s given her the best price.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

32/ Can smell Chennai. Sigh. She’s on phone again.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

33/ AND WE HAVE A DEAL!

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

34/ Whoa! Boy takes out a receipt book. Can I kiss him now?

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

35/ Boy takes Re. 1/- as token advance. And gets her number. FINALLY!

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

36/ Did you know: Sowcarpet didn’t get flooded during #ChennaiRains

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

37/ Boy wants her to inspect his factory. Smooth! Girl’s dad is waiting at the station to pick her up. Boy offers to take them both.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

38/ And we’re reaching Chennai Central. No, I’m not going to follow them.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

39/ Also, I’m not going to tell them about this.

— Raj S (@Raj_S) January 20, 2016

40/ And my parents taught me that eavesdropping was a bad thing to do. [END]
