[b][u]Location[/u][/b] - Mandir → Best Exotic Hotel
[u][b]Interacting with[/b][/u] - The Gods, Radha & everyone at the Dining Room.[/centre][hr][hr]
For a girl like Ananya, born and raised as a practising Hindu, it was normal for her to wake up at the crack of dawn to simply pray before going on to study before heading off to the hospital. She wasn't used to sleeping in; time that could be spent on important things was not time wasted. Simple.

At least once a week, Ananya made it a point to travel to the local temple. Sure, she could've prayed in her room like she usually did; but to her it was more fun to involve others that were in the temple. Which was exactly where she was now. Standing in front of the Goddess statue, she brought the thali that was in her hands up to her forehead, muttering her prayers under her breath as two other women beside her did the same. Ananya slipped five-hundred rupees into the thali before handing it over to the pandit. Waiting as the pandit exchanged all the goods that were inside the thali with the prashaad, she took the offered thali and once again brought it up to her forehead before bowing respectfully at the pandit and heading down the steps towards the entrance of the mandir.

While Anya was slipping on her sandals at the bottom of the temple, she heard a shout from behind her. [b]"Arey, Ananya! Ruko toh sahi!"[/b] She looked over her shoulder, her dupatta slipping from her hair during the process.

[color=wheat]"Radha?"[/color] Radha took a few courses at Ananya's hospital, the two often running into each other there and partnering up for projects whenever possible. From what she knew, Radha was anything [i]but[/i] religious - not that anything was wrong with it anyway. But to see Radha at the mandir was strange, especially since Ananya tended to visit every week - the exact same day [i]and[/i] time. [color=wheat]"Tum yahaan...?"[/color]

[b]"Maa ka aagrah kiya, toh isalie main yahaan hu. Tum rooj aati ho?"[/b] She asked. 

[color=wheat]"Nahi, har hafta aati hu."[/color] Ananya corrected, before checking her watch. It was already seven in the morning; she guessed most of the guests were already awake by now. Meaning that she was needed in the kitchens for the early morning breakfast rush. [color=wheat]"Chalo, meriko aab ghaar jana hai, toh main tumse baadmain baat karti huun."[/color] Quickly excusing herself from the conversation, Ananya set off back to the hotel with the prashaad still in her hand. 

The mandir wasn't too far from the hotel, so it took only ten minutes before Ananya had reached the hotel, slipping inside and heading straight for the dining hall where she noticed a few tenants were already gathered. Smiling warmly, she greeted them all, [color=wheat]"good morning,"[/color] pleasantly. One by one, she approached everyone that was in the room, distributing some of the prashaad to the tenants. It was customary to do so, to share the prashaad with family and friends to share God's blessing. It was something Ananya believed in dearly, and attempted to follow through with each week she visited the mandir.

[hider=translations/keywords for the peeps]
[list][*]Thali - a sort of plate filled with small offerings to the Gods/temple. Usually filled with vermillion (sindoor), a lot of flowers, some fruit, money and possibly other offerings depending on the God you're offering to.
[*]Pandit - the priest, usually called "panditji" respectfully.
[*]Prashaad - Offerings given by the panditji that is usually blessed (tends to be Indian sweets that have been previously donated).
[*]Mandir - the temple
[*]Dupatta - a long scarf usually worn over women's clothing to "cover their modesty". While praying, it's recommended for women to cover their hair, but I don't know why and I'm too lazy to google that shit[/list]
Phew, now to translate that conversation:

[b]"Arey, Ananya! Ruko toh sahi!"[/b] → "Hey- wait a second, Ananya!"
[color=wheat]"Tum yahaan...?"[/color] → "What are you (doing here)...?"
[b]"Maa ka aagrah kiya, toh isalie main yahaan hu. Tum rooj aati ho?"[/b] → "I'm here because my mum forced me to be here. Do you seriously come here every day?"
[color=wheat]"Nahi, har hafta aati hu."[/color] → "Nope, just (once) every week."
[color=wheat]"Chalo, meriko aab ghaar jana hai, toh main tumse baadmain baat karti huun."[/color] → "I need to go home now, I'll talk to you later. Bye>"
