11:00 am.

kasturie's grandmother and her cousins were with her at her hotel room. her cousins were laying on her bed and her grandmother was scolding her while she was getting ready to leave for training. "ushira uthaycha ani mg nightana ghai karaychi. he visarli te visarli. college la jaychi tevha tr bag ch visrun geli hotis ekda. captain ahes tu ata thodi tari responsibility ne vaag."
(late uthneka fir nikalte wakt jaldi karneki. fir yeh bhool gye woh bhool gyi. college jaati thi tab toh ek baar bag hi bhool ke gyi thi. captain hai tu abhi, thoda toh responsibility se behave kar.)

"aai mi ata college la jaat nahi and a queen is never late, everyone else is just simply early." she shrugged while wearing her socks hurriedly.
(aai main ab college nahi jaati.)

"ha ha jaise ki chennai ki maharani tu hi hai. zero responsibility, very bad." her cousin abhishek said without looking up from his phone.

"tu toh chup hi reh. responsibility ki baat tu kar hi mat uss din khudki girlfriend ko bola 7 baje ready reh main pick karne aa jaunga aur nalayak ko 10 baje yaad aya ki koi uske liye wait kar rha hai 7 baje se." kasturie rolled her eyes and said.

"haww." he gasped and threw a pillow at her face.

"terko main baad mein dekh legi abhi merko jaana hai." she picked her bag and opened the door to leave.

"ha dekhte hai na tu kya karti hai."

"aye tu jaa re."

kasturie's grandmother called her back as she was leaving. "aye tham tham."
(aye ruk ruk.)

"ata ky rahila."
(ab kya reh gya.)

"he ghe." she handed kasturie a big box.
(yeh le.)

"he ky ata?"
(ab yeh kya hai?)

"kholun tr bgh" she opened the box to see about 50 puranpolis.
(kholke toh dekh.)

"puranpoli!!!! thank you thank you thank you so much." she hugged her grandmother.

"sagle tuzhya sathi nahi ahet baki team members la pn de, ishan ani harsh la pn de. nahi tr sagle ektich sampavshil." she smiled.
(sab tere liye nhi hai baki team members ko bhi de, ishan aur harsh ko bhi de. nhi toh sab akele hi kha jayegi.)

"ho ga. ata mi nighte bye bye." she said and ran towards the lift.
(ha re. ab main nikalta hai bye bye.)

she reached the stadium and entered their dressing room. she was the last one to reach. "sorry sorry people. thoda late ho gya but aai ne tum sab ke liye kuch bheja hai." she kept the box on the table and removed 20 of the puranpolis aside for the mumbai indians people. "pehle sab ek ek hi lo baad mein agar bach gye toh aur le lena." she sighed and picked up a puranpoli and sat on a chair nearby.

"bhai kastu last time tere dadi ne yeh bheje the tab maine 5 khayi thi. tere dadi ke haatho mein jaadoo hai." jaddu said.

"ha yaad hai na. tab mere hisse ke bhi kha gye the aap." she said. jaddu bhai smiled sheepishly while eating.

"baat toh sahi hai. tere dadi ke haatho mein jaadoo hai. sakshi ko bolna chahiye unse recipe lene ke liye." mahi said as he took a seat beside kasturie with a puranpoli in his hand.

"ha dalool bhy not." she replied with a mouth full of puranpoli.

they all laughed at her. "pehle kha le fir bol." mahi said.

"ha ha."

"sabka khaa ke ho gya hoga toh jaaye neeche practice karne?" kasturie asked.

"yes captain."
