It was foggy in the morning in London making it difficult to travel. There is one thing about England you can't know what the weather will be, it will rain anytime and one must always wear a windcheater. Balin lived in Notting Hill which had become quite popular because of the movie Notting Hill movie of Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, his granny lived here from birth and never liked to move out even though she could more expensive house.
Balin's granny runs a fashion magazine before that she was a journalist and a news anchor, she had interviewed many famous people around the globe, also because of her profession she met his grandfather who is Indian origin. Granny Diana was also famous for her charming personality, still for her age she looked quite young compared to my maternal grandma Usha at first glance can see was a typical orthodox housewife but actually she was quite open-minded on a few things like education, profession and even love. Despite cultural differences both grandma's love their grandchildren unconditionally, making them coordinate with each other for taking care of us especially my sister as she is too young to go to hostel well she is only seven.
My younger sister is duplicate of my grandma Diana making her very special, she just looks like a doll with her bluish-green eyes and blonde hair one can't resist to pinch her chubby cheeks. I really sometimes feared how many hearts she will capture after growing up.
I reached my granny Diana's apartment where my baby sis was playing with her dolls on the sofa. Seeing me arrive she gave me a smile and called my grandma Usha who was in the kitchen preparing homemade snacks and tea for us. My grandma Usha often comes to take care of us when my granny Diana is very busy. My grandma Usha came out of the kitchen to see me her hand was full of gram flour, giving me a half hug and kissing me on my cheeks, then I went to wash myself up in my room.

When I saw they were broadcasting the game of hearts audition tapes as I started watching with my sister, my grandma Usha also joined us with our table full of all sorts of Indian snacks, tea, and milk for my sis.

The judges asked her why she joined the show, Sukhwinder Mann patted her chest and said with a resolution "I want to show my son that I also have the guts to appear on T.V.I have bet with my son that I

Well, it was not enough I started getting calls from my whole family from India and the U.K . all yelling at him just because of his mother's statement on T.V. just broadcasted.

WARNINGS:-Yes, this contains LitRPG elements after a slow start, promise.-This work is incredibly Slice-of-Life heavy-Also conversation heavy-Also plot heavy (But not in that way, unfortunately)-The pacing in terms of plot is slow -(Edit after a review)- This story is also known as: I honestly don't understand what's the difference between "light" and "dark" stories. I realized that far too late, so this story is... weird. It might be light at times, and dark at times, and in all honesty, definitely has dark undertones. Oh, and prepare to be disappointed or pleased by this story; I understand that this story is polarizing, at least. Cover made by: Fei (@Chippy03966650) / Twitter
