When Hemant Arora alias Niven walked into Mannekin for his complimentary meal, he first left us baffled, and then pleasantly amused!

When 28-year-old Hemant Arora walked in for his free meal along with friend Vivek, we were in for a surprise.
Someone by the name of Niven had won the contest, so our suspicion kept getting stronger till the bomb was dropped. "Since I'm a French translator and need to interact with Westerners a lot, I have another European- friendly nameu00a0Niven. Hmm... what's in a name, after all?

Tikkas and tadkas

The extended weekend made sure our guests were totally relaxed on arrival. "We are feeling totally at peace, since we're coming directly from home," said Vivek before breaking into a long conversation. Since it was a dry day, the invitees went in for Cranbull mocktail along with Paneer Tikka and Mahi Tikka. The main course was kept simple with Rogan Gosht, Daal Makhani and Naan. The affair was accompanied with an interesting round of discussions ranging from language proficiency to European habits.

Kuch different hai

"For me, reading MiD DAY is all about having fun. It includes stories that are not found in other morning newspapers. In addition, there are a lot of games, interesting sections and snippets to keep you hooked," signed off Hemant alias Niven.
