HANGING OUT WITH MY COUSIN SISTER, PARU

A few days ago I got to see my cousin, Paru. At fourteen, she is already so grown up and mature. We talked a lot. She is very smart, and told me a lot of things I didn’t know. I like being with her because she is very much like me. She knew about sports, books, and games. I talked with her about many things. I learned that she speaks French fluently, is on the fencing team at school and will visit Paris for a school trip when she is older.  She wants to be a forensic scientist and her favorite show is CSI crime series.  She is going to spend her summer learning very advanced classical Indian dance at the best dance school in the country, Kalamandalam.  Next month, when I visit my thatha-paati (paternal grandparents), we will visit Paru because it is closer for us from our home in Koduvayur. 

For lunch, we went to a very fancy Hotel Karthika. Even though she had just gotten off a 20 hour flight from New York, she was very patient and gentle answering all my questions. I had so much fun connecting with my big cuz. I hope to see her soon. She is my favorite person to talk to. She understands everything I say (especially my accent). I hope next time I see her, I get more time with her.  The first thing we talked about was SkyDoes Minecraft and the last thing we talked about was Slender Man, both are video games we like to play. With us, it is like we are not at two ends of the United States meeting for a brief spell in Kerala.  Basically she is my big sister from the Big Apple while I will always miss her from the Lone Star State.

Here is some cool trivia.  Perhaps these are too easy for you!

1. What is the largest and most well-known museum of the world?
2. What is the most debated painting housed in this museum?
