A conversation between strangers is a great vehicle to explore how much you could pack into 140 words. For one, a chat between strangers aloows a quick ping-pong game. And then, with each trade of question and answer, new information surfaces, which kept me hooked. For all these reasons for me, brilliant choice, Mohit!
What could you do better? I don't know but I would try to go for the same destination in a different vehicle--not conversation, but maybe a description? Off the top of my head, John McPhee does that well in his writings, although ironically his writing is anything but abridged.

Your thoughtful comments are deeply appreciated, Satyajit.
I will try a description.
Right now, I am cycling between Sri Lanka beaches.
Lots to observe here.
More soon.
