Near a bench right in front of my department.

"Excuse me, ... whats the time?"
( looking at the watch) "6.33 pm"
"oh ... ok ... do you have a cell ? ... I am Rachel by the way" ( A handshake )
"I am Pranav" ... ( Offering Cell )
"What do you do?" ( Dialing some number )
"I study structural engineering here ... "
"ohh .. I suck at mathematics"
"what do you do?"
"I study Social Psychology"
"ohh .. thank God I gave you the cell ..  I was this close to be a research topic "
" ... ( trying to smile, may be confused ) " " ...  ( on the cell) What time does number 21 bus arrive at so and so stop? ...... "
" ........... "
" ( on the cell ) Thank you .... "
"Thank you"
"Nice meeting you (!) "
