Akash Verma's Second Book 'Three Times Loser ....Love Never Dies' Released
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Tuesday, January 03, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- After stirring a lot of buzz & the bestseller success of his debut novel 'It Happened that Night', eminent author Akash Verma has launched 'Three Times Loser ....Love Never Dies'. The book is published by Srishti Publishers.
The book is entwined around the lives of three ladies- Megha, Mandira, Shonali and a guy Alok, entrancing in a journey of love and camaraderie, sacrifice and abhorrence, triumph and failure and aspirations and heart-breaks, meandering through the lanes of Paliwal Park in Agra to Lucknow University campus to the studios of the dazzling Smile FM station in Delhi, ultimately consummating in the serene locales of Mussorie.
It all begins with the three ladies in different corners of the earth busy in their own lives, one fine day getting a letter from their lost lover, who has a surprise waiting for them and requests them to meet in Mussorie at the same faithful date. Will they simply throw away their letters out of the windows or decide to re-visit their lost lover? Why did he call them all at the same time? Will he be fourth time lucky? The powerful yet lucid narrative goes on to answer many such questions.
Speaking about his book, Akash Verma, says, "My profession in the creative world opened new avenues and stirred my imagination. It helped me to look into the simple yet significant things of life in a new light which we otherwise tend to take for granted. This triggered me to pen down my understanding of life by fabricating storylines which mirrors our daily life. My first book 'It Happened That Night' was a result of such myriad thoughts and the response from the readers was really encouraging. Through my next book also I have tried to reflect the manifestation of love, sacrifice and triumph in a modern milieu. I hope the readers will find the story line fascinating and the characters will make it an interesting read."
Putting his creative instincts to work, Mr. Verma takes the route of a subtle narration captivating the readers in the realm of the simple yet significant things of life. The book explores and demystifies the definition of love while giving a definitive perspective and answers to complex issues of life like friendship, relationship, dreams, desire and more. All intertwined together with an intriguing & captivating story line, the plot is beautifully contrived till the climax when the protagonist takes a stand which he will never regret in the entirety of time.
About the author:
Akash Verma is a management graduate and the co-founder of an Advertising Venture that he started a year before. In his sixteen year old professional career, he has worked across the leading companies in the FMCG and media sector. His work has taken him across the country and he finds this experience very relevant while giving shape to his stories. Akash took up to writing fiction in 2001 and he attributes this sudden urge towards writing to his compelling passion in understanding human relationships and behavior. He has a deep interest in music, history and travel. This is his second novel after his last work 'It Happened That Night' which was the National Bestseller. Akash is currently based in Gurgaon, India.

BWI: SITA Systems to Reduce check-in Queues in Kathmandu
Press release from Business Wire India

SITA Systems to Reduce check-in Queues in Kathmandu
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Monday, January 02, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal has signed a seven-year agreement with SITA, the air transport IT specialist, to tackle check-in queues at the country's main gateway, Tribhuvan International Airport and to support its efforts to attract more tourists to the country.
Long queues are a consequence of the lack of airline common-use facilities at the airport which receives 85% of Nepal's tourism traffic. With the introduction of SITA's common-use platform AirportConnect Open queues will be reduced and passenger flow through the airport will greatly improve because check-in areas can be used more efficiently. SITA AirportConnect Open is being implemented initially at 24 check-in counters, later expanding to 36.
Ratish Chandra Lal Suman, General Manager, Tribhuvan International Airport, said: "We selected SITA after an extremely competitive international bidding process. This upgrade to our check-in facilities is timely as we have seen record levels of passenger traffic this year with the heavy promotion of Nepal Tourism Year.
"And passenger numbers are expected to grow further from now until April, the peak tourism period in Nepal. There was a real boom last year when international airlines serving the country grew their passenger volumes by over 20% and we hope this trend will continue."
Maneesh Jaikrishna, SITA Country Director for India and Subcontinent, said: "Airlines, airports and governments have increasingly complex requirements. They need consistent passenger processing, reduced congestion and improved passenger flows. AirportConnect Open will provide Tribhuvan International Airport with the flexibility to cope with peaks in traffic during the busiest times of the year for tourism and trade. SITA is very pleased to contribute towards making Nepal a first-class holiday destination."

SITA Systems to Reduce check-in Queues in Kathmandu
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Monday, January 02, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal has signed a seven-year agreement with SITA, the air transport IT specialist, to tackle check-in queues at the country's main gateway, Tribhuvan International Airport and to support its efforts to attract more tourists to the country.
Long queues are a consequence of the lack of airline common-use facilities at the airport which receives 85% of Nepal's tourism traffic. With the introduction of SITA's common-use platform AirportConnect Open queues will be reduced and passenger flow through the airport will greatly improve because check-in areas can be used more efficiently. SITA AirportConnect Open is being implemented initially at 24 check-in counters, later expanding to 36.
Ratish Chandra Lal Suman, General Manager, Tribhuvan International Airport, said: "We selected SITA after an extremely competitive international bidding process. This upgrade to our check-in facilities is timely as we have seen record levels of passenger traffic this year with the heavy promotion of Nepal Tourism Year.
"And passenger numbers are expected to grow further from now until April, the peak tourism period in Nepal. There was a real boom last year when international airlines serving the country grew their passenger volumes by over 20% and we hope this trend will continue."
Maneesh Jaikrishna, SITA Country Director for India and Subcontinent, said: "Airlines, airports and governments have increasingly complex requirements. They need consistent passenger processing, reduced congestion and improved passenger flows. AirportConnect Open will provide Tribhuvan International Airport with the flexibility to cope with peaks in traffic during the busiest times of the year for tourism and trade. SITA is very pleased to contribute towards making Nepal a first-class holiday destination."
