PARIS

The next day morning we all spent time in Riya's room; eating some bread toast with poached eggs and a cup of coffee for the breakfast. We planned to start visiting the famous places in Paris by today afternoon.

We travel to Musee d'Orsay by bus. It took us around 25 minutes to reach the destination. We took the line brought the tickets and entered the art gallery. The place was pretty crowded; the works there gave an awesome insight into the 19th century. It exhibited the artistic movements of the 19th century between the periods of 1848-1914. It took us around 2-3 hours to look around the gallery, each and every work was unique from each other and mesmerizing. Then, we went to the hotel Cocorico which was near Musee d'Orsay and had a good rating. We ordered VG Avocado Burger for each one of us. As they served us the burger it tasted yummy, it was stuffed with sweet potato, avocado, tomatoes, and cucumber and I could even taste the flavor of honey in it.

"This is finger licking good", Rachael says

"I agree bro", Abhishek replies

"What about some drinks, now?"

"It would be nice if you cut the carp, and order it"

"No drinks", Riya and I protest

"Why not?" Abhishek questions back

"If you guys start drinking and in case both or any one of you gets drunk, then how will you enjoy Eiffel Tower"' I say

"No drinks then huh?"

"You can have it at night maybe"

"Okay", Rachael and Abhishek agreed in disappointment to us. Though they said 'okay', these boys are never going to listen to us; they purchased a bottle of whiskey and loaded it inside their backpack.

Then we walk around for some time and then started to the Eiffel Tower by train, it was a very short journey not even 10 minutes. It was sharp 10 pm when we reached there. The visit to this Tower in the evening was the best choice we did, the 20,000 bulbs which were lit up, spread light for a wider range. The entire tower was fascinating and the dazzling effect left me enchanted. We chose to take the long staircase instead of the elevator to avoid the long line. We paused ourselves often and captured a lot of pictures and I was clicking so many selfies after a long time, and Abhi was a very good selfie partner to me. The beauty and the structural design of the tower let me amused. The first level of the tower to some extent gave me some fascinating tales about the history behind the rise of this iconic structure. The glass spectator area and the transparent floor gave a beautiful view of the city of love. The second level of the tower was pricelessly awesome; the view from here had become one of my favorites. I was high, enough to witness the aerial views, and the view of the city's monuments was really worth to be appreciated, the architectural detail and urban planning of the city were just so astonishing. Then after seeing the complete Eiffel Tower, we were not left with enough energy to climb down again, so we opt to take up the elevator. As soon as I enter the glass elevator, I take my mobile phone out and press the record button. I was not only capturing the view but also the monument's detailed interior iron latticework of the tower.

We walked nearby the tower, and the impatient Rachael and Abhishek drank the whole bottle of liquor. I pulled my mobile out to click some beautiful pictures of the view in front of me as the lovebirds Riya and Rachael started to speak non-stop, I don't understand what people in love talked about and why don't they run out of topics. I see around and I spot Abhi sitting all alone at the foot of the tower, I walk to him and go sit next to him.

"Hello, Mr.Malhotra", I greet him

"Hello, Megha", he replied

"Why are you sitting alone here?"

"I was just a little irritated walking with those two, they just keep talking and always being all romantic most of the time"

"I know right"

"If you don't mind can I tell you something"

"Sure go ahead"

"In this baby-pink dress, and your long, beautiful hair tied in a fishtail braid and the light makeup especially your eyes that pink shade suits well your eyes very well and the blue liner which you have added, you look so gorgeous"

"Oh my god, you noticed me so much"

"Beauty has to be noticed and appreciated"

"Thank you"

"My pleasure, I guess we need to head back it is just too late", Abhishek says

We walk back to Residence Charles Floquet as it was just like 50m from the tower. As I enter the room I go neatly wipe out the makeup and change to my night suit. I toast some bread for me and Abhishek; we have it and crash on our respective beds.

I wake up and start the third day in Paris happily. I notice Abhi's bed was neatly made-up already, and he was nowhere to be seen in the room. I go take bath and freely take my own time to get ready. I walk out and sit on the couch, while Krish enters and hands me a cup of coffee. He was already showered and ready; I wonder how early he would have woken up. I sip the coffee and it left me surprised.

"Good morning, how is my coffee?", he asks

"Good morning, this coffee perfectly matches my taste"

"Thank you"

"You know only Krish knew the ratio of my coffee and after his death, you are the first one to give me a coffee like this after him."

"That's great, I guess we have a good friendship bonding"

"Sure", I say and Riya gives me a call telling me that we have to start for today.

We visit the Louvre, this was a museum that was started in the early 13th century and became a national museum in 1793. It had the best art collection. This was built by French governments and brought art forms from all over Europe also Assyrian, Etruscan, Greek, Coptic and Islamic art and olden days work. It also included the Mona Lisa, the Victory of Samothrace, the Venus de Milo, and the moving paintings The Raft of the Medusa by Theodore Gericault and Liberty Leading the People by Eugene Delacroix.

In the afternoon we visited the Le Marais, which was filled with funky bars, and restaurants and home to many designer boutiques. We start the walk from someplace it is really tough to remember, the place was full of shops with various foods, and we ate nicely there and even bought some snacks. Then we walk further each section had a special category of things. Then we go to Notre Dame and also many more places and return to the apartment. We bought ice-creams and ate them. As usual, without listening to the girls these boys started drinking. Riya helps Rachael back to their room as he got drunk, then Abhishek and I walk back to our room. Then I call dad to speak to him, tell him everything I did today and then fall asleep.
