"I like to live always at the beginnings of life, not at their end...It amazed me that you felt that each time you write a story you gave away one of your dreams and you felt the poorer for it. But then you have not thought that this dream is planted in others, others begin to live it too, it is shared, it is the beginning of friendship and love."

The culture shock at My Bar - Pahargunj
To many, this might not seem new, with the whole parallel culture theme being explored before in the bylanes of Delhi. But, My Bar, this quintessential bar of multiple realities (ours included) is one of the many truths that a common Delhiite does not see elsewhere. For example, My Bar, located in the heart of Pahargunj market area, is a three-columned bar, boasts of the newest Bollywood numbers, with waiters donning T-shirts that say 'My' at the back. The bar, where you can sit, smoke, drink, lech, among other things, offers cheap liquor and food. One can spot students, pimps, well dressed wobbly middle aged men, tourists sitting in groups, and loners sitting with their books, is a whole new underworld right in the heart of the city. Apart from a little disquieting ambience, as outside, pimps and drunkards line the street, once inside, enjoy the cheap booze, as they say, and forget everything else.
