It's definitely true that when you make a spectacle of yourself, you are remembered. Of course, there has to be a sense of class and sophistication attached to it, otherwise you're just attracting the wrong kind of attention. 

When it comes to making a statement, we know that there are some exceptions and there are those that can be tacky. We would definitely vote for fun, classy, and original any day - and this story definitely breathed all that and more.  

"Dikshita Basu, is a final year student of computer science at Sathyabama University, Chennai." (MSN)

In case you are wondering what's so special about her and her story, well, be prepared to be knocked off your seat...

Her post read: "This Valentine’s Day I want to ask Zomato out, for an Internship. So, to apply... I thought to curate something that is worthwhile." (MSN)

She also tagged the CEO of Food Delivery Rahul Ganjoo and Zomato Design Lead Vijay Verma. 

Of course she must've been feeling immense pressure as to whether he would reply or not, like any other Valentine's Day tribute. 

"According to CNBC TV, in her presentation, Dikshita illustrated some of the issues with the Zomato app and offered a proposal on how to fix them. Some of the solutions included repositioning the drafts folder for improved user flow." (MSN)
