Meera: Hey Naina! It’s been ages! How are you? I haven’t seen you at all lately. Where were you all this time? Naina: Meera! Honestly, just work — so busy. I joined a new office, so I get no time at all. Tell me, what’s new with you? Meera: I’m great. Everyone at home’s well too. Hey, let’s not stand here and talk — let’s grab a tea and chat over it. Come, let’s go. Naina: Yes, that’s better! Let’s go to that shop, I’m really hungry too. And this weekend let’s go somewhere together. So happy to see you!
