The clock struck 10:00 am. Raki and Zara were organizing the book shelf of medical guides. Naira was on Google search for lunch recipes and Yuvi was arranging the small but cute little laughing Buddhas and other show pieces.
Zara: So what is Google saying Naira?
Raki: Are you already hungry? We had our breakfast, that too a pretty heavy tamilian breakfast like what... Half an hour ago?
Zara: No! I'm not hungry... She's been on search, her coffee is cold that's why I asked.
Yuvi: Guys, look... is this cute enough?
Raki: Oh! Yeah... it's really nice. Yuvi... why don't you put those two Bonsai trees on the corner stand instead of the glass shelf?
Yuvi: Aha... yeah, that's a nice one. The wooden shelf and green plants with grey pot... it would look nice! I'll shift it.
Raki: So, yeah... Naira... Any easy yet tasty recipes?
Zara: Nairaaaa.... We are talking to you!
Naira: Yeah yeah, wait people... I was downloading some pdfs. And yeah, I've got few recipes.
Zara: Pdfs?
Naira: Ah... It's the online syllabus for complete 1st year MBBS.
Raki: Oh that's good.
Naira: babes! It's gonna be a lot of load!
Yuvi: We have decided to keep our heads in the rail track. Now no use speaking of Load.
Raki: Hehehe! Yeah right! What about the recipe?
Naira: Anyone is completely vegetarian here?
Raki: Only I am supposed to be, but I am not.
Naira: Okay! So what about a butter-chicken gravy, ghee-rice and Potato & Tomato fry?
Yuvi: I'll make raita with it.
Raki: I will make the fry dish...
Naira: Okay! I am good with chicken dishes. So I'll make that.
Zara: I will call Aami and make Ghee-Rice!
Raki: Okay... so let's begin...
Naira: Yes people! Let's attack the kitchen...
And so they went into the kitchen to cook their first meal other than sandwich, egg and Maggie.
Naira: Zara... do one thing put the rice to boil and cut the tomatoes for me... can you?
Raki: Hmmm.... Naira, I am already cutting tomato for my dish I will cut two extra... We can one and a half each... Okay?
Naira: yeah that should be fine... I'll clean and prep the chicken.
Yuvi: Guys we don't have cucumber... only tomato, chilli, ginger and carrots.
Zara: Go buy it... Why would you complaint for that?
Yuvi: Ugh! I was not complaining! I was just telling it.
Zara: yeah yeah okay!
Raki: Yuvi... you will get cucumber in the college's supermarket.
Yuvi: yeah I know, I'll get it. I'll prep the curd and ginger put it fridge to settle and go buy the needed. Do you guys need anything else?
Naira: Ah... can you buy some coriander leaves... it will good.
Raki: Yeah... buy for 20Rs/- .... We can use it for both the dishes...
Zara: yeah some for garnishing the rice will do well.
Yuvi: Yeah Okie!
Raki: Here Naira, tomatoes in the green bowl are for you... should I cut it smaller?
Naira: No... anyways I'm gonna mix it. So nothing will be visible.
Zara: So I have put my materials in the cooker... please do off it when it starts to whistle first time. I'll go have bath and arrange the table.
Raki: Done babe!
And in between a lot of chaos the girls prepared a delicious tomato fry, creamy and thick butter chicken, aromatic ghee rice and a cold tasty raita. They freshened up themselves and in that while Zara arranged the whole lunch in the cutes way possible garnishing it with bell peppers and coriander leaves.
Raki: Well, everything smells good.
Zara: Yeah for starters we could say that.
Naira: Where is Yuvi?
Zara: She went to bathe last... must be coming in 10 minutes or so.
Naira: Hmmm...
Raki: I'll get the plates and glasses.
Zara: I'll take pictures for stories!!!
Naira: Oh! I thought you already took'em.
Zara: No, was arranging the whole thing.
Yuvi: Hey people...
Naira: yeaah! I was searching for you.
Yuvi: yes I'm at your service Madame!
Naira: So my deal has been fulfilled. What's your part now?
Yuvi: My part? I'll help you to completely eat it without a grain remaining.
Raki and Zara laughed up. Naira stared at Yuvi with an evil eye. Yuvi and Naira ran around the table as Naira tried to tickle up Yuvi. In a while they had a good lunch and ended up tired of eating in their bean bags.
Naira: Okay! That was one heavy meal.
Raki: And you cooked the chicken really delicious.
Zara: So from today official chicken chef is Naira!
Raki: yeah that's a good tag...
Naira: Doesn't mean you guys can't make chicken dishes.
Yuvi: No no! We all have our chances in making it. But when we have guests or parents coming over. You are the chef for it.
Naira: yeah, and Raki the main Sous Chef?
Zara: Yeah that's a great idea. After all she managed us all well. Good responsible girl I say!
Raki: Ha!
Yuvi: What Ha? Rakshitha is the Sous Chef!
Raki: Thank you guys!
Naira: Don't thank us so fast... you are gonna be in great trouble Ms. Sous Chef!
They all laughed and went to their rooms to have a good sleep.
