7 Strangers Happenstances Stories

Cosmopolitan India

|

January - February 2025

What went down when Silvia Sachdev decided to go stranger-hunting for a week.

7 Strangers Happenstances Stories

We’re back on the roads of Bengaluru, almost. This time to meet seven strangers over seven days. This ambivert girl was scared as hell. I’m the type of girl who never takes off her headphones at the airport, buries herself in a book during any commute, and hangs out with only her best friends at a party. So yes, talking to strangers is a big no-no-no-no. But it’s a new year, and I’m ready for a whole new round of crazy, embarrassing moments and mind-boggling learning, starting with a simple one—when you stop the music, and throw your phone and your shyness away, there’s a whole world out there waiting to be explored. There are a whole bunch of cool, fun, creepy (run fast asap!), idiotic people out there that you need to meet. Every person has their own story to tell, and that’s way, way, way more than an Instagram story.
