There's never a dull moment on the Internet. Having trouble finding the name of a movie in which two ducks danced? Don't fret, just ask on the Internet. Pick from Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, or any other platform. Need some off-the-counter legal advice, ask the legal fraternity on Twitter.
One girl from Delhi decided to seek the help of Twitter to track down a guy who captured her interest at a cafe.
looking for this guy who ordered pasta in an Aerocity cafe today around 1 pm. he was kinda ripped, in a black shirt and had nice eyes...wanted to talk to him, but missed it coz my cab guy kept calling me.

twitter do your thing and help me find him pic.twitter.com/4Yid5p1ofc
What a spoilsport that cab driver!
At the time, Manjari, as she goes on Twitter, said she wanted to talk to him but couldn't because obviously missing the cab is not an option.
delhi ke cab wale wait nai seedha cancel karte 😭😭

Of course with Twitter being Twitter, there were some ridiculous suggestions:
If a man clicks a girl's picture. Within this range. The next moment some or other from the random public will snatch his phone and say pic.twitter.com/h4MWX66Zki

Fortunately for her, she found the man in the picture. What's more, he replied to her tweet. Indeed what a small world we live in!
you’re tooo sweet! but i am really sorry if this invaded your privacy, had no such intent 🥺🙈

And someone else pointed out that this guy liked her tweets for almost the past year! Well, we don't know if it's a coincidence, fate, or just a staged interaction. But regardless of what it is like @MahE_1304 said it is all great entertainment.
He is liking ur posts from last one year. U didn't notice?

Bache play smart next time 😋 good for entertainment though pic.twitter.com/63w6TV8fUQ
[ALSO CHECK: Types of people on Delhi Metro]
While most seemed happy to see these two alleged strangers who likely captured each other's interest find each other again (fate has a new meaning - the Internet!), others questioned whether it was an invasion of privacy to publicly post a picture of a stranger without their permission and asking the Internet to track the stranger down.
I was about to tweet this.

Many asked what the response would have been like if the stranger in the picture was a girl or a woman who was being described by her physical attributions.

Indeed, the issue was not lost on Manjari who posted the picture and apologised for it.
Of course, if the stranger in the picture was a woman, the response would have been different because women unlike men have to always watch their backs online or offline for potential harassment (read: The girl on Delhi metro who was shamed online for her choice of clothes). But it seems like the stranger doesn't have any problem. So, the story ends on a good note.
