In Dhaba
Nandini's POV
We were enjoying our new friendship. We aren't done with our chaat too. I don't know why but when I looked into his eyes I saw truthfulness, he really wanted my friendship. I usually don't make friendship with some random stranger but him I don't know how but I could read his eyes and it was only asking my friendship so I said yes. He is actually different, he might be impulsive but at the same time he is meatured too, he is arrogant as well as soft, he is just like a baby, mood swings mode could be on at any time.
Manik: Wese, tum ab India kyu aaye ho ?
Nandu ( shocked ): Kyu ? Aapko koi takleef hai mere India aane ke wajah se ?
Manik: Arey nahi, tum koi choti bachi tho nahi, you are a young lady par phir bhi tum India pehli baar aayi ho, tho abhi thak kyu nahi aayi..India pasand nahi hai kya ?
Nandu ( smiled ): Aisi koi baath nahi. In fact I love India but I couldn't come because of Appa, he was busy, unke business tho london mein hai, bohath convince karne ke baad agree kiya hai unhone.
Manik: Oh like that, btw tum South Indian ho ? You just said Appa..
Nandu: Oh yes, I am, par completely nahi.
Manik ( confused ): Mathlab ?
Nandu: Mein half Tamilian aur half Bengali hoon..
Manik ( shocked ): Bengali bhi ? But you dont look like a Bengali.
Nandu ( laughed ): Haa..Appa bhi yehi kehthe hai. In fact, he said I look like a...umm what was that..haa..a typical Punjabi Patakha..
Manik ( Laughing ): Really ?...Oh God..but frankly speaking even I thought you are a Punjabi, after all I am also a Punjabi..
Nandu ( shocked ): Are you serious ?
Manik: Haa..but why are you so shocked ?
Nandu: Arey because I had a strong doubt that you are a Punjabi..
Manik: What ?? But how come such a thought came across your mind ?
Manik: Arey your attitude and your nature, its just like a Punjabi. Appa had told me once that the Punjabi people have a special aura around them, their attitude and nature is kinda different from others.
Manik ( smirked ): So you find a different aura around me ?
Nandu: Of course, aakhir Nandini Murthy aise hi kisiko dost nahi banthe.
They had a hearty laughter afterwards.
Manik: Really!! But on a serious note, how come you find this aura and all..I mean I dont even know how to differentiate a Punjabi and Delhi wale..
Nandu: Arey because my Appa is like you only.
Manik: Your Appa is a Tamilian and I am a Punjabi Nandini..
Nandu: Yeah but he is a Punjabi too.
Manik: What ? Wo bhi sirf aadha Tamilian hai ?
Nandu ( giggled ): Yeah, actually my daadi's mumma is a full Punjabi and her( daadi ) papa is a Tamilian so meri daadi hui aadhi punjabi and like that Appa is half Punjabi ,half tamilian cause DJ is tamilian..
Manik: DJ ?
Nandu: Haa my Daada ji..short form- DJ..
Manik: Ooo..tho aap tho Punjabi Patakha hi tho hai..
Nandu: Hey, dont talk like Appa now..
Manik ( raised hand upwards ): Aye aye captain.
Nandu( smiled ): Waise Manik, I never knew you could eat chaat too..
