In the same way the second stanza was made the next day and the succeeding ones the following days, one each day. Only the tenth and eleventh were composed the same day.”

1)The owners/staff are often highly heavy headed,their behavior is very un welcoming.

2)They highly discriminate indians/locals from foreigners residing in the neighborhood.

3)They don't have any industrial experience or expertise. They are raw and shameless. They hardly know what is hospitality.

4)They serve mostly only to foreigners.

5)The Cafe is located immediately on the road side.lot of dust and bad smell problems are there.Hence hygiene and comfort are negligible.

6)The Cafe is covered with iron sheets or so.

Altogether, there is not much either to write or to eat there except to get a shameful experience.
