It’s the 18th of August, 2007. A Saturday. And in a flat in Lokhandwala, in Andheri, a 16-year-old boy is sitting at a computer, doing what every teenager in India is doing that year. He’s on Orkut. And in this boy’s messages, tonight, like most nights for the past 3 weeks, is a girl. Her name is Angel. Angel is flirty. Angel is funny. Angel keeps saying they should meet. And the boy is interested, but he’s being smart about it. Before anything else, he wants one thing: a photo. Send me a photo. And Angel keeps dodging. Week after week. A teenage standoff, playing out one scrap at a time. Until tonight. Because tonight she sends him a message: “Don’s worry? m quite and gud looking. u wanna meet me??? Lez mette up na! wot say?” This is the story of the boy that said yes to a date that would turn out to be his last. This is the story of Adnan Patrawala.
