Nobody Knows....
Nobody knows how empty I am,The smile that I wear.The real one is left behind in the pastBecause It left me there long ago ...
Nobody knows how I am crying,My tears cannot be seen either.For you, I am laughing or maybe not,Foolish to wish protector will know ...
Nobody knows Why I am painful.I am strong enough, all they suppose,It will not kill me, that they sayThough I wonder if they are wrong...
Nobody knows How I miss you.I set you free, from all boundsSill I feel like, I have bounded myself within,Trapped in my own mystery of miseries...
Nobody knows why I need you.I can do it on my own, they deemAlthough they do not know I am cryingWhen I am and will be all alone...Deep

Cafe which is Fictitious- Farzi Cafe @Connaught Place
I visited
this place a few days back for an afternoon with friends. It has a warm and
cosy atmosphere and comfortable seating. The waiters were very well versed with
the menu. They were quite knowledgeable about the dishes which indeed is
especially important, and it was impressive as well. This place is all
about twisting and reconstructing the regular known dishes and presenting them
in a unique new way without hampering the authentic texture and flavour. We had
Vada Pav Farzified, Bombay Bhel version 2.0, Mac n Cheese pakora bites as
starters. All of them were very good especially the presentation of all the
dishes was amazing. It was hot, crispy and tangy. A great delight to eyes and
appetite as well.
In the mains,
we had Daal with Garlic naan. The Naans was just average but the Daal was
creamy and delicious. In dessert, I had a chocolate dirt pile served with
chocolate sauce. It was great. Everything was good but the administration
really must look in towards the cooling system of the place as it is a big hit
in ambience especially in summers.

Pakodras from Khandaani Pakordewala
I was
introduced to this place decades ago and it still attracts a lot of pakora lovers
.A very small place, now they have also started serving lassi, khandvi and
other kinds of stuff too but still widely famous for the various varieties of yummy pakoras
it serves. Here they serve Palak, methi, Pyaz pakora and the cauliflower and
paneer pakoras.
Taste and service
all were good. But what put me off was the rancid oil they continue to use while
frying in the big kadhai and the pakoras could do with more flavour and
seasoning. So overall it's just average stuff but the prices don't seem
justified even if they don't burn a hole in your pocket.

Questionnaire with Abbyshek Chandra
So this month's featured author is 'Abbyshek Chandra'
Can
you tell us a little about yourself? Your profession and your hobbies!!
I am an author, a serial entrepreneur and an educationist. I hold a
B.Tech. from IIT Roorkee and an MBA from ISB Hyderabad. Before starting my
entrepreneurial journey with Eduwiser, I worked as a Management Consultant in
Dubai. Featured in India Today as the education sector’s “One-man army”, I have
founded four educational ventures and authored seven bestselling educational textbooks
in Mathematics, Physics and Biology that are recommended by CBSE schools across
the country.
Love You Forever is my debut novel. Forbidden Love is my second.
The questionnaire with Abbyshek Chandra
1. How
did you first get involved in with writing, are you an imaginative person?
I had written a couple of blogs during my MBA and my girlfriend (now wife) had read them and
asked me to write a novel someday because she thought my words had some kind of the magic that got the readers involved and connected. So, I wrote the novels when
I had the time.
For the educational
textbooks, I am an educationist at heart and I know I express and explain well.
It was only obvious to write such books.
Imaginative?
Yes, very imaginative. I still remember day-dreaming in my Nursery about
perverts troubling my class-teacher and me saving her from them.
2. What
do you find most challenging about your writing?
Getting into
the shoes of the characters and then coming out of it.
3. What
do you do when you are not writing?
Busy with my
office work, family, fans, cooking or watching movies on Netflix/Amazon
Prime/Hotstar.
4. Where
do you see yourself in the next 6 months, and 5 years down the road?
As an author, I
want to be ready with the first draft of my next novel in the next 6 months. 5
years down the road, want to be known as the People’s Author with 2 more novels
and as many educational textbooks to my name.
As an
educationist, I want to have improved the lives of at least 20,000 students in
the next 6 months and over a million students in the next 5 years.
As a serial
entrepreneur, I would want to realize awesome ROIs for the companies I have in
the next 6 months. 5 years down the road, I will probably free myself from all
the companies I have set up.
5. How
do you keep coming up with material/content for your story?
My imagination
in conjunction with my experiences and understanding of human behaviour.
6. Any
specific tips you have for new writers who want to make it big in the world of
published books?
Be practical
and patient
7. What’s
the best thing a writer can give to his readers?
I guess,
ATTENTION apart from engaging books. I try to!
8. A lot
of people are interested in writing for the money earning potential. What are
some tips for people interesting in making money from writing? What are some
realistic expectations in regards to what can be made?
Don’t get into
writing with the aim of earning money. Just focus on good work and money will
start flowing in with time.
Coming to the
expectations of money, if your book is genuinely good, you will typically make
enough money to buy some clothes and shoes in the first year. Mark my words,
you won’t get enough to run your house. The money will gradually increase with
time, so the initial time is very, very difficult. Be prepared for it.
9. What
motivates you most in life?
The inner Abby.
If you have read my novel – “Love You Forever” that is based on my life, you
know who the inner Abby is and how he motivates me. People have been falling
for him!
10. What
is the story behind the name of your book?
The core the concept behind the novel is true love and for me, true love lasts forever. One
might get angry with the other
in a relationship but if the love is genuine, it lasts forever. In the novel,
no matter what happens in his
life, the protagonist always lives by the phrase - love you forever, hence the
title.
11. What
are your views on increasing plagiarism?
Unless there
are strict laws in place, people will not shy away from doing it. Taking away
someone’s years of hard work is not done and it should be the responsibility of
every individual to not commit such a crime. Please don’t do it or support any
of your friends in doing it. Report such cases!
