Apni Mona ka painting bhi to udhar hai..(Our Mona's painting is also there..)..isn't it?? " Nitin looked at Prachi and then turned to Jay."Mona?? " Jay."arrey..don't you know her??

It had 8 sections with different types of paintings and arts. "Wow....this is beautiful. ""What an art yaar....I can't even draw a proper line on paper...." Mita..Jay was happy to see the excitement on Mita's face. She was reading information written on each art. "If you read every note like this we won't be able to cover all sections and will have to come back for second round.." Nitin."Let her read naa...why so hurry? " Prachi. They all were mesmerized to see such phenomenon art. After that, they went for dinner in restaurant Le Cafe Marly. They got the terrace table which gave nice Louvre view."Lovely ambiance, great vibes... " Mita."And exceptional view.." Nitin"Which view you are talking about?? huhh...? " Prachi looked at a group of girls on the opposite table and asked Nitin."arrreyy..I am talking about Louvre pyramid view. I am not a tapori guy to run behind the girls all the time okk??"  Nitin."Thik hai thik hai..Don't give me all that explanation." Prachi.Mita took the menu card."My God..what type of dishes are these..Can't even pronounce..""Madam, we have come here to eat not to pronounce. Check the description and order something...hahahaha ..""Guys, You carry on. I will have khichadi at home. ", Mita handed over menu card to Prachi."What?? have something Mita.." Prachi and Nitin."Mita, Daal rice and all we have everyday. Its good to try something different once in a while. You can have this Chicken with Mango Curry, I have read good reviews. Then there are some cheese cakes, apple pie.. let's order different items so that we can get variety tastes.." Jay tried to convince Mita."hmm...Ok Jay.." Mita."Try try..anyways after marriage you will have to change your food taste completely.." Nitin."Why?? " Mita."Because of cultural differences of course. Didn't you see yours and Jay's culture is totally different and so is food.." Nitin."Yeah, but that's Indian food only right? Not like this.." Mita."Ha ha..that's right but do you use coconut oil in your daily food? Chalo thik hai coconut you must be using but not in every recipe .. You use groundnut more and Jay doesn't like groundnut..You know in his London stay, sometimes he used to add coconut oil in his recipes secretly, because his other roommates did not like that...kyun Jay??." Nitin.Jay was laughing..."Yeah that's true..but sometimes not always.. and Sunil also used to add his special masala secretly..those days..so much fun..." Jay was lost in those memories.Everyone was looking at him..then he realised, "I mean this is also fun...""hmm better, by the way who is Sunil.. " Mita."Oh you don't know Sunil?? " Jay." Is he a celebrity so that everyone should know him? " Prachi."Not like that. He is also from Mumbai and had worked in our department. So thought you guys might know him..Basically , what I was saying is everyone is attached to their culture in some or other way..." Jay."Correct.. That's what I was telling Mita..agreed that Jay is so flexible with the food. But what about Amma?? Mita, along with language..start learning Thakali Soru, Parruppu Soru, Thengai Soru...this Soru that soru...." Nitin was teasing Mita."What is that.. ??" Mita was confused.."Ye lo..Madam does not know all these..seekh lo seekh lo nahi to Amma will not approve your marriage.."Mita stopped eating and looked at Jay with worried face......To be continued...
