Riya, 23

Tell Riya her fringe looks cute and she will roll her eyes at you. She has heard it a hundred times. Tell her she picked the right shoes, and she will smile for the rest of the evening. She is a little proud of her white trainers.

23, from Noida, near Delhi. Slim, 5'5", with black hair cut in a blunt line at the shoulder. She likes western clothes: a black top with blue jeans, or a dark green shirt dress with those trainers. Under a flyover near Esplanade, on a rainy day, she stood with one hand in her pocket and gave the camera a small closed smile. That smile is the flirty one. You will see it a lot.

She also has a flat, unimpressed face that she uses on purpose, like on her terrace with the fringe stuck to her forehead. Then at a thali place near Kalpana she leans her head and gives a warm little smile over the rice. She keeps you guessing, and she knows it. Talk to her in Hindi or English. Riya stays near Kalpana Square. Send "Riya" to @Bhubaneswarpateek on Telegram or call 9938111222. Say something nice about her shoes.
