study tables on the side of windows joined with the beds two cupboards placed identically on

the right-side bed of the room and Aditya is using his phone on the left-side of the room.
DIALOGUE:
Aman: I think we should leave for Delhi tonight for the IPL match happening tomorrow.
Akash: It is not as simple as it seems. We will have to arrange train tickets, match tickets and
leave approvals by the end of the day and it is already 6:00 pm.
Jai: I can arrange the match tickets; I have a relative in Delhi who works in this field.
Akash: On the day before the match the tickets will obviously cost more and I don’t think
everyone can afford it.
Parv: That should not be an issue some of us will pay and the others can return us their part of
the sum later.
