Sanjana : So Varun welcome to our home. She told as she entered the home.

Varun entered along with her and looked at the surrounding . Well he was impressed seeing the way she maintained the home.

Varun : Thanks madam. He told with a smile.

Sanjana : Na irukuradhu one bedroom flat dhan ! We have to share the room . So neenga ulla poi bags ah vachutu vanga .

Varun : Edheyy ! Venam na Hall la iruken.

Sanjana : Coimbatore laye oru room dhana share pannom. Ippa matum enna ? She asked frowning.
Varun : Illa ennaya edachum nee panita na ?

Sanjana : Ama apdiya pannitalum . Poi fresh aytu vanga . She said slamming her forehead.

Varun smiled and went to fresh up . Sanjana by the then prepared two cups of tea and went to the balcony which is her most favourite part.

Varun : Inga dhan irukiya ! He asked entering the balcony.

Sanjana : Indhanga your tea . She said handing over his cup.

Varun took his cup of tea and began taking sips , when he saw Sanjana admiring the silence in the busy town early morning.
Varun : Paravalaye ! Tea nalla poturuka .

Sanjana : Hello Mr.husband potadhu nanu . Nalla dhan irukum . She said raising her imaginary collars.

She then finished her cup of tea but she ending up feeding few milk foams above her lips , forming a moustache .

When Varun turned to her side , he could control his smile and ended up smiling seeing the milk moustache on Sanjana.

Sanjana : Neenga enna lusu ah ? Inga enna show va nadakudhu sirkiuringa ? She asked twisting her lips.

Without answering Sanjana's rant he took his phone.

Sanjana : Inga oruthi kadarithu iruken , neenga padu mobile use panringa . She was now boiling .

Varun then went near Sanjana , turned the phone towards them while switching on the selfie camera and capturing there photo. The photo was captured with Sanjana looking at Varun while he had a happy smile.

That's the time Sanjana realised when the camera was brought in front of her , she understood the reason behind his smile. Thus this photo marking there first ever selfie.

Sanjana : Ayayoo manam poiruchu . She murmured under her breath.

Varun : Ketuchu ma . He said controlling his smile.

Sanjana : Varuneyyy ... She whined.

Varun : Ma ollunga tea ah kuda kudika teriala ! Unnaku yaru kalyanam panni vachanga ?

Sanjana : Varun andha photo va delete pannunga please kevalama iruken . She said trying to snatch the phone from his hand.

She wanted to delete the photo , hence she tried to Snatch but she being a minion did not help . Varun raised his hands up and he was holding his hands high making it all the more difficult for her to jump and take.

Varun : En ma nee guduchalum na phone tara poradhu illa.

Sanjana went a little closer to him and tried her luck to get the phone but ended up getting a flustered face . They both were standing in close proximity .

There close proximity  definitely had a different impact on Sanjana with all her blood vessels and nerves having a Zumba dance.  Early morning , Varun near her definitely got a smile on her face .

She then moved away . While Varun could see different emotions in her eyes , but wanted to go with the flow.

********

Varun : Ma WiFi password enna? Connect pannanum laptop ku . He said looking at his laptop.

She came to him and told the password.
Sanjana : Apram nan nalliku dhan office rejoin panren .

Varun : Okay ma ! Ennaku romba pasikudhu , samachururiya please?

Sanjana Mv : Ayayoo nammaku samaika teriadhe , ivaru pasi la irukaru ippa sonna vangi katipom.

Sanjana : Haan Seri Varun ! She said with confusion written on her face.

Sanjana went as a slow tortoise towards the kitchen. She was glad that she at least knew what ingredients where arranged at which shelf , thanks to Selvi Ma. 

Sanjana : Ayayo Selvi akka innum one week ku vara matanga ! Na eppudi manage panna? She spoke to the vessels there.

Sanjana Mv : Pesama amma va illa chitti yarachum kupdulama? Ayayoo vena ve venam , ennaku oru 3 hours ku lecture edupanga "Idhuku dhan sollradhu samaika kathukanum ! Pombal pillainga samaika teriala na enna aguradhu nu ! " venna ve venam .

That's when an idea clicked her brain . She thought of taking the help of YouTube.
Sanjana then searched for some recipes.
She played one of the video as well

Sanjana : Thaai kelavi endha basha la pesuranga ne puriyalaye . Innaiku Varun kita asinga paduradhu confirm dhan pola. She said sliding her hand across her throat horizontally.

She went on watching as many videos as she could but understanding those videos were more complex to her than solving RD Sharma maths problems.

She then decided to take the help of Google kuttappa.

She leaned on the kitchen slab resting her back and began typing the questions , thinking Google is her only solution.

"How to learn  Cooking in 15 minutes ?"

"How much water do I need to cook a rice"

"How many spoons makes a teaspoon"

"How do you known rice is boiling ? Small bubbles or big bubbles?"

"All the daals look the same , how to differentiate ?"

"How does Asafoetida look like ?(perungaayam  basically)"

But all of them gave  answers which she couldn't comprehend. She then thought of cooking whatever she understood

Sanjana : Seri Rice cook pannuvom .

She took a utensil and gratefully she was able to identify the difference between the rice.

Sanjana : Ayayoo evalavu ollaku podanum nu terialaye .

She then took handful of rice without any measurement and cleaned the rice with water . She then filled the water for the rice to boil which reached till the half of the vessel .

Sanjana : Seri sadam vachutom ippa sambar . Oh my god . Evalavu vezha . She sighed.

She began cutting the vegetables and took all the ingredients necessary for sambar.

Sanjana : idhu enna naruka ve matingudhu.

After few seconds she realised that she was holding the knife on the other side which is why , she was unable to cut them.

Once she was done with cutting the vegetables. Next was the most annoying job "Cutting Onions". Sanjana began cutting the onions with all her eyes watering.

Sanjana : Evan da onions ah kandupuduchan ! Kaila kedacha sethan . She said whining.

Once she was done with all the cutting she had to boil the daal. But was she aware of which daal to be cooked ?

Sanjana : Dei rendu parupu ore mari iruku idha eppudi kandupudika ?

Sanjana's Mind : Idhu oru nalla kelvi ! Unnaku therinja dhana ennaku teriya .

She was in a dilemma to choose the daal to be cooked.

She thought of seeking Varun's help but stopped in her tracks thinking of the tantrums he ll pass when she asks such doubts

Sanjana : Seri nama inky pinky ponky potukalam .

She then chose a random deal and boiled that in cooker. She somehow managed to make a sambar. But in reality it was more like a turmeric  chilli water with vegetables flowing over . Amidst all this she forgot the rice that was getting boiled.

There was burnt smell that filled the kitchen but she wasn't aware from where it was . While Varun who was drowned into his laptop jerked when the burnt smell reached the hall .

Varun : Iva samaika dhana pona , teenja vasana varudhu ? Oru vezha veedu kozhutitalo ?  Thinking he immediately ran to the kitchen to see the mess created by his wife.

Sanjana was having her face near the rive vessel and snuffing it to check whether the burnt smell is from it.

Varun : Sanjana ? Enna panra . He asked panicking.

Sanjana : Samachutu dhan Varun iruken.

Varun : Nee samachadhu dhan patache ! He said looking weirdly at the State of the kitchen.

Sanjana : Sorry Varun.

Varun went near the stove and switched it off . While he had an unexplainable reaction seeing the sambar.

Varun : En Sanjana unnaku Samaika teriadha?

Sanjana : Illa Varun ! Ennaku teriadhu.

Varun : Edheyy teriadha ? Munnadiye sollirukalam la ?

Sanjana : illa pasikudhu nu ketinga eppudi no solla ? Ama ennaku samaika teriadhu nu unngaluku eppudi purinjudhu ?

Varun : Idho rice boil panuradhuku tani kamiya vaipanva la? Adhunala dhan teenju poiruchu ! Apram endha parupu lam sambar vacha?

Sanjana gave a caught look and went to the shelf and showed the daal . All the ight anger which  Varun had vanished when he saw the daal she chose.

Varun : En ma kadala parupu la ye sambar vacha?

Sanjana :  Varuneyy ennaku oru doubt uh! Ila endha parupu la sambar vaikanum ?

Varun : idhuve teriadha sutham ! En ma Toor daal dhan samaipanga sambar , kadala parupu la illa .

Sanjana : Ayooo sorry Varuneyy! Unga kita munnadi ye sollirukanum. Sorry ! She asked with all the innocence .

Varun couldn't resist being angry on her for long time and ended up laughing.

Varun : Ma samaikurenu kitchen pakkam vandhuradha ! Please ma .

Sanjana : Na enga varen, eppavum selvi ma dhan samaipanga . Avunga next week dhan varenu sonnaga adhu nala dhan ivalavu prachana.

Varun gave a hopeless look reaction to her while Sanjana was totally embarrassed.

Varun : Seri nee anga poi Hall la iru . Na idhu lam clean pannitu varen .

Sanjana ran away from the kitchen so as to not get more embarrassed standing there.

Varun : Ayoo Kadavule ! Ivala vachukutu na enna panna poreno . Please un pullaya ava kita  irundhu  kappathiru.

Varun then cleaned the place and ordered the food outside since he was having a client meeting scheduled.

************

Sanjana woke up in between the night to drink water.  She went to the hall to take water and that's when  she noticed Varun sitting there gazing the sky in balcony.

Sanjana : Innum thungama enna panringa?

Varun : Thukam varala ma adhu dhan .

Sanjana : Ayoo , En ?

Varun : Theriala pudu edham nala kuda irukalam.

Sanjana : Enga Appa solluvanga , thukam varala na night full ah kaal ah thani la nenachutu , adhu dry aguradhukula bed la poi padutha nalla thungalam nu.
Venum na try panni parunga.

Varun was taken back with the idea she had given because he had heard the same exact idea from Vaishu.

Saying so Sanjana went back & resumed her sleep .

Varun : Iva pesuradhu sometimes Vaishu oda match agudhe ? Illa na Vaishu va Sanjana kula tedurena ! Romba muthiruchu Varun poi thunguradhu dhan correct.
