Murali: (excited) I have brought dosa and idli. I have enough idlis for all of
us to feast on.
Nazreen: I have got Kashmiri pulao. It is a delicacy in Kashmir.
Geetika: I have brought khakhra. It is a famous snack from Gujarat.
But Gaurang has forgotten to bring a traditional dish. He can see everyone enjoying
their meal and sharing it, in the canteen. But he is hesitant to join his friends.
Murali sees Gaurang sitting alone in one corner, looking at his lunch box.
Murali: (out of concern) Come, join us Gaurang.
Gaurang: (softly) I have not brought any traditional dish.
Murali: (smiling) That’s okay. We have enough food.
Gaurang joins Murali, Geetika and Nazreen on their table.
Gaurang looks at the delicacies laid out on the table. They look tempting and smell
good. He puts a piece of khakhra in his mouth which tastes like crispy crackers.
Geetika: Do you know that khakhra is made of whole-wheat and served in
breakfast? It is crispy, isn’t it?
Nazreen: Yes, it is. Do you know that we use a lot of dry fruits to garnish the
Kashmiri pulao?
Murali: The dosas made at my home are different from the ones available in
the market. You must try it.
