I took a deep breath, walked straight towards the boy. He was standing at a corner leaning on a glass pane. He was facing the other side. I could see his well-built shoulders and chic headphones. Cool dude.
I tapped his shoulder. He turned.
"Hi! Shekhar!" I grinned.
He removed his headset, "Sorry?"
"No, I am sorry! I couldn't recognize you at the mall......such a dumb I am! Who could it be but Shekhar!" I gabbled like a 3 year old.
He shrugged and smiled feebly, "Ummm..... I think you have mistaken something........ I am not Shekhar"
"What!!" I put on a shocked expression, "How could it be? You aren't Shekhar! Then who......?"

"Siddhartha" he smiled again.
"Oh, I remember...... you are in the student union, Siddhartha Tyagi, right? I have seen you in some rally........"
"Ummm..... It's Siddhartha Deekshit and I am not in the union" he was visibly confused by my behaviour, and a bit annoyed too.
"Oh! Got it!! Siddhartha Deekshit, the famous singer....... Hindu college! I am a big fan......" I let out the last trick.
"No," he smiled embarrassedly, " Siddhartha Deekshit, the famous nothing from RRM College of engineering."
Gotcha!!
"Oh! I am so sorry! I thought...... I am so stupid!"
I instantly blinked at Shona (who was standing right behind him). She took the cue and came forward.
"What are you doing here?" she said as if completely unaware of what I was up to.
"I messed the names up again!"
"You always mess them up"
"I troubled him so much" I looked at Siddhartha.
"Its okay, happens!" he spoke softly.
"No, actually...." Shona continued her part of the drama, "My friend.......she has a problem....... That's called facio-alogia ........she mixes up faces and names...."
