Short, curly haired girl (G): You know this would never be allowed in any other college?

Tall Boy (B): Yeah…but you know colleges like SRCC and Hansraj don’t really have a sense of history…

G: Stephen’s does…

B (laughs): They are too high-brow for this. Plus didn’t one of their principals ban hugging or something?

G: Yup. And girls’ colleges are too squeamish.

B: What about Ramjas? They are just the right-level-of-brow. Also liberal enough.

B: Yeah. Ramjas is the poor man’s Hindu.

Ouch.

Happy Valentines’ Day.
