It’s been five years since Koch sat in Frankfurt a der Zeil, had a coffee and was approached by a fashion agent. He has a great face and a great body, ideal for modeling, she complimented the Marburg. If she is allowed to take pictures with her mobile phone? If she could have his phone number? Sure, it could just be a rapprochement. “In two weeks is Fashion Week in Paris, that could barely fit,” said the stranger and left. David Koch did not take that seriously. A week later, however, the woman answered.

Actually, David Koch from Marburg had no plan at all. Life left him alone and he life – how to spend his time after school. Not two weeks later, he rushed from one appointment to another, was viewed by hundreds and photographed a thousand times.

David Koch was 19. For the first appointment in the modeling agency, he took his mother. The waved off on a five-year contract. The son should not commit too long. Three years were enough. A week later, David Koch was in Paris with the ticket in his hand and was stressed. Fashion Week. The models walk from one office to another on a very tight schedule, from one designer to the next: Dior, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton … They present their folders, walk a few more steps, perhaps put on a piece of clothing as a rehearsal and will be on the spot for the next fashion show, often a few hours later, booked or not. “These are open castings, anyone can go there,” says Koch, 400, 500 models are standing there in line. It is best to go early or late – “in the middle, you go under”.

1.87 meters and 75 pounds. “I can eat as much as I want and I do not gain weight,” says Koch. To look good is good and important. But at least as important is that you are good in front of the camera, that you make offers to the photographer, that you can work with your face, with facial expressions and gestures.

He can pose. Just in the iced coffee, you can ask yourself the question: Is that really the good looking guy from the catwalk with the distinctive cheekbones and the male charisma? If you notice him behind the latte macchiato at all. There he sits inconspicuously and modestly in the crowd between chattering 15-year-olds and pensioner couples. But once the camera is pointed at him, you can see it: it’s him, David Koch, who has thousands of fans on Facebook, who adore the viewers of the world’s biggest and most important fashion shows, who wore the most expensive garments of the most famous designers and the Many women simply pull down from the catwalk, drag them down and take them home and marry.

When it comes to famous food-joints and eateries in the city, the foodies of Noida think they always have fewer options than the Delhiites have. Delhi is destined with Janpath, Khan Market, Pandara Road, Chandni Chowk, Jama Masjid, Safdarjung, Rajouri Garden, Lajpat Nagar, Satya Niketan and Hauz Khas where we get scores of our favorite cuisines. So most of you living in the planned city of Noida take a metro ride towards the walled city of the national capital, Delhi, to your favorite diners. But Noida also has some untapped range of finest restaurants, where you can drop by with your friends and family on weekends.

Nestled at the edge of Noida sector 29, Brahmputra Market colloquially knows as BP market, is one such place waiting for your footfall. Scattered in not more than 70 odd steps, Brahmputra market embraces a dozen plus food-joints, stalls, kiosks and eateries, laden with plenty of street-food options. 

Paradise for carnivores

Kebab: For a non-vegetarian, the main-course is incomplete without Kebabs as starters. If you have a knack for Awadhi non-veg cuisines, this place serves some delectable Lucknowi Galouti Kebab and Shami Kebab. Galouti Kebab is minced meat of lamb ground with onions, tomatoes, gram flour, cloves, cinnamon, and other rich ‘secret’ spices shallow-fried on a Wok vessel.  On the other hand, Shami Kebab also has the same variant but a bit rough in texture than Galouti Kebab. Galouti can be your hot favorite starter at BP. The Kebab is served on disposable leaf plates with Rumali roti, spicy mint-coriander chutney sprinkled with finely chopped ring like onions and slices of lemon. I suggest you order one Shami and Galouti each in one plate so that you can try the variant. It quietly melts in your mouth. The smoky flavor of Kebab teases you to order more but wait for the other regular non-veg items decorated on small kiosk and stalls. 

Mutton Korma

Mutton and Chicken Korma are an all-time favorite for the meat lovers. But is it possible for a Noida resident to visit Al Jawahar or Karim’s at Gali Kababian (Matia Mahal) to satiate their taste buds? I doubt! So why do not drive down 1.3 km from Noida 18 Metro to BP for some delicious Mutton Korma? Served with hot Rumali and salad of mint and onion, Mutton Korma tastes extremely authentic. The rough and thick gravy of with oil floating on its surface is the mark of traditional Mughlai Mutton Korma which any carnivore would love to devour. It’s delicious and appetizing flavor makes you think why didn’t you come to this place earlier? 

Tandoori Chicken

The aroma of smoke and butter roasted chicken can be smelt some distance ahead before you reach the BP market. The love and craving for Tandoori Chicken are unbound so as the Tandoori chicken stall doesn’t disappoint you! The crispy, spicy and succulent taste of chicken is worth coming down to BP. 

What’s there for the vegetarians?

In case you would think that ‘since the start of this article the author has only focused on non-vegetarian cuisines’ and you are making up in your mind to rush to nearest Pind Baluchi then hold it, pal, BP market has everything that a vegetarian loves to have on a dinner date. 

From starters like Ram Laddu, Pani Puri and Dahi Bhalle up to conventional Punjabi Thali, and from veg-kebab to Paranthas and Ram Laddu, BP has it all. There are plenty of small kiosks serving some delectable snacks which you usually get on the streets of Janpath and Connaught Place. 

The main course has all the different variants you want to see in your Thali, like Paneer Butter Masala, Shahi Paneer, Dal Makhni, Aloo Jeera, Butter Nan, Kofta, Kadahi Paneer, Mushroom Masala, Soyachap and etc. 

Chinese   

A Chinese corner at the end of the lane serves some delicious noodles fried with lots of green veggies and pepper. The crispy chilly potato is you cannot miss. Served with spicy red Schezwan Sauce and Mayonnaise. 

There are also Pav Bhaji and Dosa corner where you can have some taste of South and West India at one time. 

Lemonades, Coffee, and Desserts

What do you need after a heavy meal in summers? Probably a lemonade or ice cream or some dessert? To wash down the heavy meal you can try a glass of Arora lemon located in the middle of the market. 

There is also one coffee shop where you can have cold coffee. 

Many foodies can’t do it without dessert at the end of their meal. At the other end of the lane, there is one kiosk that sells Kulfi, Rabri, and Gola which will wrap up your visit to Brahmputra Market. 

BP has variations. Not only this place embraces some finest veg and non-veg cuisines but it also has outdoor shops for girls’ apparels, Henna vendors and jewelry. There is also a book stall where you can find some bestsellers for your metro ride.   

And most importantly, these all can be afforded without burning a hole in your pocket. So when are you coming?

I think I was just five when I decided that acting would be the only profession I’ll pursue. While I always loved TV shows, now that world is even more special for me, because I’m set to make my debut on the small screen.”

What kind of preparations has Afreen done for the huge opportunity thrown at her, she says, “I will be playing the lead actress and the workshop has already started.” However, she refused to divulge any details about the show. “I can’t reveal much about the show, yet,” said the young actress.

Ask her if she aspires to be seen on the big screens, Afreen feels that television is a stepping stone to Bollywood. “Yes, it’s true. Though TV and films are very different mediums, TV is the stepping stone for films.”
