Sometimes all you want to feel sitting at a bar table, is comfortable. You might be a girl waiting alone for a boy, with a rose you’ve bought for him. He’s late. You wait. But you know for sure that he will arrive. In the meantime, you ask for a drink and the men sitting on the bar stools next to you strike up a conversation, just to let you know that the milk of human kindness is a fountain that never stops flowing.

You keep waiting. You have a good time chatting with the strangers and meanwhile, you forget about the boy. But as promised, he arrives. The rose serves its purpose. The people you’d been talking to put your man at ease. He doesn’t feel threatened by them. He settles down on his own bar stool and you get drinks together. The night turns into how you envisioned it to be. This happens in Andheri, at a new place called The Berliner Bar that has Aishwarya Desai serving customers. She’s the co-owner along with Abhishek Upadhya, her fiance. Both of them tend to guests together. They are a couple who have started this venture, holding hope and hands.
