They all started the game. The first one was Cabir.

Cabir: Never have I ever skipped a meal.

Dhruv: Wo to pata hai kyunki tu bhukkad hai.

All laughed at this and Cabir made a bad face. Everyone except Abhi and Mukti took a sip.

Abhi: Babydoll is baat pe to tu pura apna glass hi khatam karde.

Manik: Kyun?

Navya: Kyunki meals skip karna to koi Nannu se sikhe. Hafte mein adhe din ye dinner nahin karti. Aur padhai ya kaam mein lag jae to lunch bhi yaad nahin rehta isko. Isiliye to har din AnjuMaa ka lecture sunti hai.

Manik looked at Nandu with a worried face and she gave him a sheapish smile.

Manik: (sternly)Nandini you should not skip your food like that.

Nandu:(cutely) Ab tum to mujhe mat daanto in logon ki tarah.

All were admiring this cute version and Manik was having a hard time controlling his smile.

Mukti: Ok then lets continue guys. Soooo never have I ever read a lovestory novel. Yaar I really find them boring.

Nandu, Navya, Manik and Aliya took a sip.

Abhi: Exactly they are so boring.

Nandu: No they are not. I mean har lovestory I love you and I love you too wala nahin hota. Kabhi kabhi kuch stories dil ko chun jati hai.

Manik: I agree.

Aliya: Ok next. Never have I ever proposed someone.

All except Manik and Navya took a sip.

Manik: (to Nandu)But you said that you never had a boyfriend?

Navya: I'll tell you. It so happened ki ek baar jab hum NYC mein the na to ek din Uni ke canteen mein....

Flashback
Hanstens University , NewYork

In the canteen Nandini and group were sitting at a table enjoying their break.

Aryaman: Yaar Nandu tu itna slow kya kha rahi hai yaar? Tujhse to koi 1 saal ka bacha bhi fast khaega.

Nandu: Shut up Arya. Main slow nahin khati. Main to tujhse bhi fast kha sakti hun. Wo to main bas taste ko relish karke kha rahi hun.

Arya: Achha? Thik hai phir. Challenge lagate hai koun pehle is dish ko khatam karta hai. Jo harega use sabka diya hua ek dare pura karna hoga.

Nandu: Accepted.

Arya: Soch le. Dare aasaan nahin hoga.

Nandu: Main darti warti nahin. Aur jitungi to main hi.

Arya: Thik hai phir.

Abhi: Ok then. 1...2....3...start.

And both started eating as fast as they could. But bichari Nandu, khane mein to usko koi baccha bhi hara sakta hai. She could not take in more than half of the dish and there Aryaman completed it. All of them cheered as The Nandini Murthy getting defeated in any challenge is a rare sight to see.

Maddy: The clear looser.

Abhi: So now dare!

Nandu gave them puppy faces but they didnt budge.

Alex: Come on Nanz. You can do it.

Nandu: Ok. What do I have to do?

Arya and Abhi smiled evilly looking at each other whereas seeing them our Nandu gulped.
