Hello everyone,
Good evening with big smile.
Today I am going to talk about a man who is not known around my World, but he has been a great help to my dream café. He is humble, simple, and he is always ready to help me with his beautiful smile. His name is RAVI WAZIR, I knew him two years ago thanks to my dearest family and friend Vibha and Dilip D`Souza. RAVI WAZIR has given to me a great helpful hand and opinion. Today he came with me to see the place for the café-library. He like the place because of the light, space, ambience, etc. but, as most people do, he is worried how I will get it. The price is very expensive in terms of money but in terms of quality it is very beautiful, so that, there are many reasons to trying to buy the place in spite of renting it.
All these days many people know that I'm trying to buy the place for the cafe dream. Some people and friend do not agree, but some others do when I explain to them why I do want to buy it. Well, everything in life is difficult, and I am trying to pass these difficulties day by day. Some people get everything without doing anything in life, we can say they are lucky to have all they have around their life from the family, friends or some companies who stand by them and then, they can open the establishment wanted. Two days ago I went to listen the presentation of RAVI WAZIR SIR book "Restaurant start up, a practical guide", what was about his experience and restaurant business and management. After listening to his two hour talk, I realized than many restaurants, cafés or bar open trough an investor company or investor partner, and in my case, I'm alone and my investor company are my friends who are simple, and not rich. Most of the money I have is from my book and few donation until now.
Even if they lose business, the leading person will not lose his money because is the investor is the responsible of that. So that, most of them go for rent and if they are successful, they buy place. However, in my way all I have is me and few friends who are standing by me from outside and then, my own people
from India.
Well this is not the problem. Today I don't have my own people from Indian standing by me, but if the project go well and we do right things with all the people, trust from the people will come, as few of them right now RAVI WAZIR is an example. He made me feel positive, and before leaving my house he said "Amin if you get the place, nothing like it, but if you cannot get the place, don't stop your project, keep trying, everything is possible" he has spent from morning to afternoon with me talking, listening and saying: you can do this cafe dream, the only thing he was worried about was if I could arrange all the money to pay and the right permissions and licenses. He has looked and checked everything. It was very nice from him to come and spend time for the project.
This is not the end, this week or the next one , I'm going again to the place with another man because he will work for our cafe dream, in order to get the license. After all of these, hopefully I will buy this place, but before that I still have to go in a long way to get all the money needed.
And finally, I would like to express my gratitude to RAVI WAZIR because he has been helping us for free and giving all his knowledge and experience. I really recommend his book, so if anyone wants to know him and read his book, please, buy a copy. After that, you will understand who's he.
All I can say is I'm proud to have him and met him in this right moment of my life. I need people like him, honest, kind and passionate for healthy food and clean places for the upcoming generation.
I AM BECAUSE OF YOU RAVI WAZIR
