It takes roughly 15 minutes to walk there. When they arrived at the metro station, they realised they had come here for another reason: to buy beautiful Rakhis for Raksha Bhandhan (This is a special Hindu festival which is celebrated in India and countries like Nepal to symbolize the love between a brother and a sister. It is a popular annual festival, usually in August, during which a girl or woman gives a cotton bracelet (rakhi) to a brother or someone she considers as one, who in turn treats her as a sister). Badi Chaupar market is a nice place to do shopping. They were waiting to cross the street to get to the retail district when Sakshi noticed Fryums. They brought papad (The papad is a thin Indian wafer, sometimes described as a cracker) with chilli powder and salt on top of it from a Papad Seller (who sells fryums). When they were crossing the street after purchasing, Jennie heard a "ah" sound.
She turned around to see what had took place. It was Sakshi, her Friend.
Jennie: "What happened?"
Ayra: "Chilli powder got into Sakshi's eyes while she was eating."
(Now we are standing along the traffic barrier, debating what to do.)
Jennie: "First, let's cross the street, then she can wash her eyes."
"I'm fine now," Sakshi replied after crossing the street.
On their way, Anaya and Kriti brought Rakhi's for their brothers. Sakshi, on the other hand, brought something for her everyday needs. Jennie, Tia, and Ayra did not make any purchases. (Jennie is the least interested in shopping among the bunch.)
