Coffee............ the divine nectar that gushes down one's throat n fills it with a sense of utmost satisfaction......! God is the best of creators n one of his finest creations being....... COffeE....!
Especially being a Madrasi, coffee is imprinted in our culture......... "Firs(h)t-class Filter
Kapi" is what, all of us want...... when we r happy, depressed, sad, over joyed......... when its too sultry or when the rain's poring........... all we want is a tumbler of the divine nectar.......!! Like the drunkards find reasons for a peg..... we find many for a tumbler......! N yes its one thing that is divine, delicious n yet of low in calories........!
So what more joy can one hav
e, especially a Kapi devotee like me, than to be a coffee man for profession....... yes i envy him........ my coffee man......! He has his shop set in a gully.... both sides covered with huge trees......... n sun lighting the place wearing his green leafy towel....... right opposite is a huge park........ filled with trees again......... a posh clean locality........ crowded yet calm......! An easy fragrant life.........!
He is surrounded by coffee beans........... two types....... peaberry - filled with aroma n rich in taste........ dark - that gives more colour n tastes sour........ its up to the customer to choose the divine sink....... he roasts n grinds them in a few minutes..... while on a subtle conversation with his (regular) customers.... enquiring about their well being, discussing current affairs, educating them about coffee beans and generally entertaining them......... n there we get the secret of bliss...... with its fragrance turning the place into ecstasy......!
He has become a part n parcel of all our lives...... he does the best of services...... but is hardly noticed......... So here stands my first leaf.........Dedicated to him......
Cheers! Coffee Mama.........
Through hills and valleys it is seen to flow,
Thatched roof covering the smooth and chill pyol or the thinnai…….. beautifully decorated with kolams and surrounded by lush lawns..... with terracotta miniatures of huge elephants and horses…….. a blend of red, green and yellow…… the shine of the fire ball to add radiance to the scene……… and few incense sticks to add flavour……..! A perfect setting for a thandava…….. rather an "ananda thandava"……. The ancient hobby of our gods……….! What more does one want than this…… to start dancing to the tunes of great maestros…….?! 
But dance means much more than just a hobby or exercise……..!! It’s a way of life….! An elegant outburst of emotions…….!! Eloquent process of story telling……. Perfect portrayal of personalities……… and a beautiful blend of melody n matter………!
There is only one way out.......... just drop everything like hot cake...... and SIMPLY indulge........ indulge in nature..... visit the nearest hill..... or the zoo.... the beach or atleast the park.....!! Sit down... relax....... stop thinking......... and then will you realise that you lost nothing by just stopping and taking a break.... rather you have by now regained the lost energy........!
