Off to a hesitant start,the shop was staffed by just 2 guys along with the 'start-up' men, Salim and Harris. Sales, to start with, was next to nothing, and to add to the confusion, the shops only staff, fell off their bike,barely 15 days into business, resulting in a strange vacuum. So the breach was filled by the the duo. This,they believe, was the turning point in their business. They tried their hand at innovative recipes, served the guests, cleaned up glasses, and the floor. Now it boasts of more than 120 items in the menu and outlets all over the city.

• X remained a bachelor till his death.

X and YAccording to biographers of X , he composed the entire melody in a dream one night in his room at the Wimpole Street home of his then girlfriend Jane Asher and her family. Upon waking,

he hurried to a piano and played the tune to avoidForgetting it .X's initial concern was that he had subconsciously

plagiarised someone else's work . As he put it, "For about a month I went round to people in the music business and asked

them whether they had ever heard it before. Eventually it became like handing something in to the police. I thought if no-

one claimed it after a few weeks then I could have it."Upon being convinced that he had not robbed anyone of his melody, X began writing lyrics to suit it. According to the Guinness Book,

"Y" has the most cover versions of any song ever written.
