"What are we having for supper daddy?" Trenti asked his father while everyone enters inside the house.
"Delicious Murg Makhani, Instant Pot Butter Chicken, and rice," he said.
"YUM YUM YUM YUM, NOW THAT'S WHAT THEY SHOULD BE SERVING AT OUR SCHOOL," Trenti said.
"That's an American school," he said.
"I told him daddy, but he doesn't listens," Mala said.
Supper time is at 7:00pm, and 15 minutes later they are eating their dinner on the floor, and says their prayers before.

[The whole creation being the gross projection of Brahman, the Cosmic Consciousness itself; the food too is Brahman, the process of offering it is Brahman; it is being offered in the fire of Brahman. He who thus sees that Brahman is action reaches Brahman alone.]
"So, tell us, how was you guy's first day at school?" Abe asked.
"It was fantastic daddy, although we felt left out, unwanted, and alone in the beginning until we found some friends," Mala informs.
"Really?" He said, being shocked.
"Tell us about these friends," Khara asked.
"We met 7 friends in a group, and they are so popular," Martia informs.
"And cool," Trenti said.
"Classes are good too," Mala said.
"And Mala's gotta boyfriend," Trenti said.
"TRENTI? YOU TALK TOO MUCH TRENTI," Mala shouts and frowns.
"I'm just saying," he said.
"Boyfriend?" Khara asked in wonder.
"I don't have a boyfriend mommy," she said.
"I hope not, there is no dating nor boyfriends or girlfriends allowed in this house," Khara demanded.
"AWW MAN, WELL NO PARTY AFTER ALL," Trenti said.
"Party?"Khara asked.
"Our friends invites us to a party next Friday," Trenti informs.
"You're not going to any parties, you guys have a lot of studying to do," she demanded.
"I know mommy, I told them that we can't go because we have to focus on our studies," Mala said.
"Sounds like you guys met some popular ones," Abe said.
"We sure did daddy, they are too popular," Mala said.
"You guys must be very careful what friends you chooses to be with because the popular ones can get you into aweful trouble," Khara said.
"I know how to stand up on what's right and wrong mommy," Mala said.
"That's the way hun," she said.
"Okay, guys let's clean our plates and head to bed," Abe said, getting up from the floor.
