shyam's cafe

A place to hang out ,spend time;just time, in the company of friends or with that special someone; a place where you dont have to be bothered about what the person sitting in the next table thinks;where the service does not push you to order, pay the bill or vacate.welcome to SHYAM's CAFE, opening in the near future.a place about twice as large as atmos ;in a serene corner of the city;elegant, uncluttered,where time stands still and cheer fills the air.my place will not have walls of concrete-seen enuf of those already.neon lighting and flashiness is a strict no no.you walk in to see ferns and shrubs on either side of a stone pathway.a tiny waterfall and a few tables for those who love the night air.walk a bit further and you see walls of bamboo like in a forest resort.in you come to find a huge ornamental fern tree in the centre surrounded by creepers and vines.a dash of soft lighting at the bottom to complete the picture.the place is diamond shaped with 8*8 feet cabins surrouding the centre.each cabin is detached from the world with a small window to peer outside at the greenery.soft leather sofas,a polished rosewood table with red napkins on it ,a lamp hanging from the top.the customer can adjust the lighting to his wish.each cabin has a small shelf with a few novels,magazines and few cofee table books.another shelf has scrabble chess and cards.you have an intercom to call service as and when you wish.a dash of soft music maybe.john denver in the afternoon ,soft rock in the evening and lionel ritchie at night.the volume is low enough to allow easy conversations but high enough for poeple to enjoy.it melts as a part of the ambience.the menu is mostly juices ,latte's ,shakes ,mocktails and cofees with salads and snacks for good measure.the pricing is on the higher side but so is the experience.to those who share my idea of a great time with friends or with a special someone,with no one staring at what you do,no worries of the outside world,where time together is worth more than fast music and noise of chattering crowds i say "Welcome to SHYAM'S CAFE"
