Whereas the essayist in general is committed to avoid portraying his fancies as actual events, the fiction writer is endowed with the privilege of letting his mental compass to reach any imaginary limits, subject however to the convincing probabilities that his reader may find self comfortable with, while perusing the document for his entertainment. Nevertheless, it is expected of a fiction writer to make available to his reader at least a few actualities also, with a view to enrich the latter’s coffer of knowledge. While performing my task of writing for the pleasure of my readers, I have always kept in mind to bring out from my memory some real happenings that took place in the past decades. Of course, every care has been taken while using any suchlike incidents for the purpose of inclusion in my narration that it is done without compromising the right of confidentiality of the identity of persons who actually suffered on account of those events. PRIOR TO THIS NOVEL, I HAVE ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED THE TASK OF WRITING FOUR NOVELS:- (1) A Match of My Choice copyright 2005; (2) Exploring, Exploiting copyright 2008; (3) Abraded Emotionality copyright 2012; (4) K’s Bhoomika copyright 2012. Dated: 1.12 ’13 MANOHAR ASIJA Author 6 PART ONE UPRIGHT Divorcee 7 ONE Mr Subhash Chand Arora too had got his name changed during the early fifties of the last century, alongwith his elder brother who was obliged by the changed circumstances to drop the surname `Khan` being proudly carried by the progenies of some Hindu businessman who received the title of `Khan Bahadur` as recognition of his loyalty and services as he supported the British Raj against the rebel forces during the Great Revolution of 1857. This elder brother of Subhash Khan had since become Sitar Chand Arora instead continuing to be called Sitar Khan, like many others of his native place, who might have descended from that ancestors of Sitar Khan. But, it was around 1960, when Subhash Chand Arora was tempted by some extraneous reasons to undo his great-grandfather's `feat` performed a century ago, by way of adorning his progenies through replacing his surname `Dua` with the ``Khan`, as he was thence renamed Milap Chand Dua alias Milap Khan. Of course, Subhash Chand Arora did not ever hear of his original sub-caste till the TIME, when his mother objected to his idea of entering into a marital bond with Maya Dua, a classmate of HIS. Perched in his wheelchair, at the moment on 30th June, 2007, this erstwhile lover of Maya Dua is expecting Vibha Ratra whose mother's maternal cousin has been Maya's younger sister's mother-in-law. Of course, this infirm oldie his first ever acquaintance with Vibha Ratra took place, when his family was invited by Maya's cousin for getting them introduced to Vibha Ratra, a girl in her mid-twenties, sometime during the year 1994. The purpose of this meeting was to let Aroras consider this maiden for acceptance as bride for their son Abhilash. They took a little time to finalize their decision to Induct VIBHA Ratra into their family Abhilash's wife. Unfortunately, the newly-formed couple could not pull on together; hence an irretrievable breakdown of marriage ensued during the very first year of their wedlock. Vibha claims that she received parental support in her matrimonial home from her father-in-law alone. It is why she continued to maintain contact with him, even after severance of legal bondage with her matrimonial family almost five years ago. Her visits to this house have been quite frequent after the death of Subhash Arora's wife, Mrs Suhagwanti Arora. Vibha claims that her duties to the person, "who always stood by my side, whenever he felt that I was being made to suffer, despite no fault of mine. Of course, he would try his best to accommodate me, by way of providing explanations to the things that I could not perceive in their new perspective at the inlaws.” The disparage suffered by her at mother-in-law's hands was often assuaged by this very person. He knew well his son Abhilash's shortcomings, so much so that he would prompt me to pour out my vows." Since Suhagwanti's death, Subhash Arora has been living with his daughter Lalima whom he desires to transfer this house, situated in Baldev Park. The three bedroom single storeyed house built on a plot of 145 sq metres comfortably houses this `family, an amalgamation of Aroras (originally Dua and Batra), now comprising of Shekhar Batra, his wife Lalima and their children Sahaj and Seema, besides Mr Subhash Chand Arora. Unmarried Lalima herself has been a little considerate towards her brother Abhilash's wife, when the latter's marriage brought Vibha Ratra here as a new member of Arora family. However, her elder sister Pratima would always connive with her mother to humiliate the new comer Vibha, who felt that Pratima would even skip from her matrimonial home unnecessarily, jut to enjoy `circus` by actively participating in the feud between Abhilash and Vibha or between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, in her parental home. These days, Vibha would Usually come here to spend a few hours with her `Papa Ji`, on every Sunday, with a view to provide physical support to Lalima, as it makes the handling her domestic affairs in a bit comfortable manner. Shekhar and his kids also feel pleasure in finding some time to go for an outing, together with Lalima who would otherwise not afford leave her infirm father alone, because even their domestic maid takes Sunday as her weekly off. But, this 8 week Lalima had to go to her matrimonial family, where Shekhar's full family is obliged to attend his sister's engagement proceedings, today itself. Therefore, Lalima has asked her erstwhile `Vibha Bhabhi`, now turned `Vibha Didi` to ensure her presence, this week even on Saturday. At around 2.30pm, Vibha is seen entering the front courtyard area of her `Papa Ji's` house, making the kids here yell in unison, "Namaste, Auntie Ji!" Lalima looks towards the entrance, moves a few steps to greet her Vibha `Didi`, whiles her husband Shekhar stands behind away from her heels, so as to let the ladies use their limbs freely to `barter their warmth`. Having hurriedly got herself freed from Lalima, Vibha exchanges greetings with Shekhar, applying folded hands supported with a beam of smiles on their faces, and then moves towards her `Papa Ji` to literally touch his feet, before making herself seated beside him, on the adjacent chair. Having remained there till the maid served the water to the visitor, Lalima begs leave of her, who loses no time to respond, in the `clearest` form, "Yes, yes... Don't stand on formalities. I know that many people would be awaiting you very anxiously;" and Vibha rises on her feet to caress the kids as they are looking towards her for permission. By chance, her patting hand of the visiting lady happens to land on Shekhar’s back too. It makes the gentleman spontaneously bend before her; and it is marked by Lalima. Having chatted with the infirm oldie for an hour or so, Vibha feels like taking tea. Therefore, she asks, "Papa Ji, are you ready to give me company over a cup of tea?" Looking at his wrist watch, Mr Subhash replies, "Well, `Bitiya`, I won't mind having early tea at this hour of the day, if you make some `paneer pakodas` as well. I have already arranged for the cheese, as you know that I am fond of taking `paneer pakodas` made by you." The lethargic maid looked at the wall clock and spoke very politely, "Madame, would you need my help in the kitchen?" As if expecting an immediate answer, she did not turn her face away till she heard her employer Arora Saheb declare, "Our Vibha is very active and well-versed in working comfortably in this kitchen." with these words, he looked into Vibha's direction to ask, "What do you say, `bitiya`?" Soon, the maid leaves. Vibha bolts the door of the main entrance and moves towards the kitchen. Almost half hour later, Vibha comes out with a tray laden with two cups, one small kettle of tea brewing under the tea-cosy cover, and a little pot containing some hot milk.

MALDIVES TALES When I am sitting on my easy chair and thinking about writing Maldives Tales, my dream to become a writer is fulfilled. Everything happens for a reason and there is no coincidence. Life always put me in very tricky and delicate situations so that I could feel the hands of Providence always in my life, supporting and sustaining me, as well as those of the evil one trying to hamper my dream to be a writer to come true. I tried myriad ways to get exposure and experience, to bring out the best in me. I went chasing a dream to be a writer and that dream came pursuing me and I learned that the best is yet to come, all is always for better and now is the best and most opportune time for everything, even in this corolla times. Since I had an accident breaking my right leg, I had to postpone a Middle East trip, the next day and that saved me from getting stranded in some airport and undergoing quarantine there. There is such an episode in my life that I always wanted to forget, but never could, and it always came popping up on the monitor of my mind, like a disco, snorkelling in the shallow seas, scuba diving, beach parties or even a hard drink of Tequila with a pinch of pepper on the expense account, the life at Pathala resort in Maldives, a sought after destination of the billionaires and connoisseurs of the world, who did not know what else to do with their money, which they had plenty.

  • Biryani Specials (March 5 — March 10)
    BIRYANI SPECIALS (MARCH 5 — MARCH 10) DUM PUKHT BIRYANI, THEONEDISHMEAL… The origin of dum pukht Biryani is traced back to a story about a benevolent ruler of Awadh (Now the region is called Lucknow in northern India). In the late 18th century, the Nawab (Ruler) Asaf-ud-Daulah, during the famine of 1784, decided to create jobs for his people to alleviate hunger by decreeing the construction of a colossal building known as the Bara Imambara. He ordered food to be made available to the workers day and night as part of wages. Large pots were filled with rice, meat, vegetables and spices, and then sealed to make a simple, one-dish meal, and Biryani was born. Hot coals were placed on top and fires were lit underneath the pots for the food to be left simmering. One day, as the pots were being unsealed, the extraordinary aromas attracted the attention of the Nawab who was passing by. It was discov- ered that the cooking method retained the natural aromas and flavors of the food. The Nawab ordered that the cooking technique be perfected for the royal table, and it is from this that modern-day dum pukht cooking is evolved. NON-VEGETARIAN BIRYANIS Lamb Biryani 15.95 Basmati rice flavoured with saffron and cooked on slow fire with tender morsels of spicy lamb. Chicken Biryani 14.95 Basmati rice flavoured with saffron sealed with Chicken and cooked on slow fire — a rice delicacy cooked Dum Pukht style to seal the flavors in. Goat Biryani 16.50 As some would argue, traditional Biryani is done only with bone-in goat meat — A must try with mint and onion Raita.

THE DELUXE DHABBA The dhabba has its origins in the wayside diners which dotted themselves throughout the highways and roads of Northern India. For many years these largely family-run little restaurants have served hungry travelers with their own menus of closely guarded secret recipes, passed on from generation to generation. In this they are the Indian equivalent of the famed routiers of rural France —little centres of hitherto unknown exquisite food. Over time the reputation of the remarkable cuisine of these dhabbas spread from the roadsides into the cities and beyond. Soon renowned Grand Hotels in India began to adopt the remarkable flavours of the dhabba into their own splendid restaurants, offering superb North Indian dishes in luxurious surroundings. In Glasgow, since 2002, we at The Dhabba, have presented this unique cookery, until then enjoyed only in the deluxe dhabbas of India itself. Pictured: From the cool shade of the portals of a Moghul palace you can glimpse the gardens where exquisite herbs and spices are grown. Starters “The beginning of a fabulous meal should set the tone for the rest of it, just as the end of it Chaat Pakodi should be the flourish of an ample repose; a belief that the world is nearly perfect”. So wrote the author, philosopher and gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in 1812, and it In India chaat do not mean mere snacks or hors d’oeuvres.
