Love is in the Air

Chapter - 1

"Come on Mia, lets go" , Asha tried to pull reluctant Mia from gazing at the newly opened hotel in the buzzing College road.

Mia quipped " Wasnt there a Curries and Chutney here, Its gone now... I... I was never.. I miss it!”

Asha irritated with her room-mate's tantrums consoled her saying "Its okayy the newly opened "AsliTadka" is as good as the old one .And also the name is sexier and I'm sure you'll like the new one! "

Mia couldn't explain her fondness to the old restaurant to Asha nor did she feel it was the right time to.
