Paul went to meet Kobita and her family the next day. He was in his blue trousers and a grey T-shirt. Kobita's mother, Ms Shahana was a shy woman and she was reluctant to come in front of Paul. But Paul greeted her warmly in his newly learnt Bangla, "Kemon achen?" Ms Shahana loved hearing a foreigner speak in Bangla. She welcomed Paul to her house. Kobita started talking to Paul. She wanted him to write something for her school magazine. As they were talking, Ms Shahana prepared quite a number of Bangladeshi dishes. She served him lunch at noon. Paul had plain rice, chicken curry, fish bhuna, dal and salad for lunch. He liked the tastes of all those delicious items except the dried fish bhorta. He is afraid of hot chillies. He also does not like eating fresh onions. So he skipped the mashed potato which had chopped fresh onions in it. But Paul became very fond of the dessert made of rice, gur, milk and coconut. He also enjoyed drinking tea made of fresh cow milk. Paul thanked Kobita and Ms Shahana for the lunch. In fact, he was tired of having vegetables and fried eggs for the last few weeks. He hates eating the same food for weeks. So he enjoyed the tastes of a variety of Bangladeshi dishes.
