"What did I do again sir?" Zara asked him. "Is this what you are supposed to say??" Mr. Prasad said in his iconic cold voice."You should say 'What can I help you with sir??'... ok?" he said in a rather soft voice. "Y-Yes, sir.", Zara replied, looking down, not being able to make eye contact. Mr. Prasad sighed, and continued, "Ok so you know about the terrorist attack that recently took place in Pune, Maharashtra right? So Since you are a local and also so capable and strong, I would like to appoint you to take part in this mission. You will have a partner, whose name is Ojas Patwardhan. He is also a local, just like you, just that he was born and brought up in Mumbai, not Pune. 

As you might be knowing, Pune is very different from Mumbai, and people over there are too smart, and get offended easil-" "Excuse me, sir!! I am deeply offended. People from Pune are like Ice. Very cold, but melt easily when brought to room temperature." she cut him off. "Is this what you are supposed to do??? Cut your senior off like that???" he yelled, (But Zara was strong, so she kept staring at him with her fiery eyes.) Looking at her, Mr. Prasad gulped and blinked a few times, and proceeded to say, "I-I am sorry, I didn't mean to say that, nor offend you in any way, I just mean to say, that people in Pune have a very different style of living than the rest of Maharashtra, for example, the way they pronounce 'n' or a few words they use, like chai-la (it's like a term or expression used as an exclamation like OMG, but it doesn't really mean anything specific...), etc. So I want you to train him for 2 weeks on these things to avoid any mistakes. And yes, he is also in the same rank (senior field officer) as you okay?" Zara's expression softened, as this was the first time he had apologized to her. She replied, "Yes sir. When do I start his training?". "Tomorrow 5 am sharp." "Yes sir", she replied in her usual tone.

How developed Pune is (just get an overall idea in case you wanted it...)

(Also, there are parts that are extremely underdeveloped, and parts that are like so developed it almost seems like a futuristic city... so, this is just in general.)

 Mr. Prasad introduced them to each other, saying "Hello Ojas, this is Zara. Zara Bhosle, a senior field officer like you. Zara, this is Ojas, Ojas Patwardhan." They both shook hands and proceeded to the language training room. Zara started her presentation. She explained to Ojas how people in Pune behaved, and how they didn't like to wear helmets, because the city is too small, how, if caught by police, many manage to convince the police officers by acting friendly, making them their relatives, calling the sisters/brothers, etc.(This doesn't happen that often now, since the system has become reasonably strict, but they're still are many such cases. )and how they were proud of Pune and Shivaji Maharaj. How people in mostly by scooters, and how the metro construction takes forever to finish. She further explained to him about the famous food stalls in Pune, (like vada-pav, pav bhaji, etc.) and of course, the famous Chitale Bandhu (Bakarwadi) and Kalyan Bhel. Historical places like Saras bag, Shanivarwada. Tulsi Bag is another amazing place in Pune. Also, they bargain a lot and want value for money, but they will not hesitate to spend on it if they find something worth it. It is also the education hub of India. Board over there is more than CBSE in other places in India, also the fact that Badminton originated in Pune.

| After 2 weeks | 

Mr. Prasad approached Zara with a smile, and said "Looks like you have given him quite a lot of information!! I am very impressed Ms. Bhosle!!" Zara was too overwhelmed (She is strong and savage, but small things like these brighten up her mood and make her very happy.) to reply with anything else other than a small thank you. Mr. Prasad asked her to follow him to a room. She followed him there and suddenly heard the door get locked. When she realized, she was in a soundproof room. Ojas was also spotted in the room by her. She wasn't scared at all. After all, she was the top trainee! (While she was training).
