Ode to the coffee

Has off to the person who invented coffee! To me, no other thing is as refreshing as a frothy cup of coffee. I remember those days just before entering the college life. My only thought was neither- "Will I have good friends?", nor - "Will the food be good?". It was "Will the coffee be good?". Well, it may sound as an exagerration , but it is true. I am so interested in coffee that I like even Coffee ads. There is nothing else so pleasurable than to have a cup of coffee while listening to either your good friend or your favourite music. What music is for my ears, coffee is for my palate. Look at this quote:






I believe humans get a lot done, not because we're smart, but because we have thumbs so we can make coffee. ~Flash Rosenberg






I don't like the word coffee-addict...it sounds as if it is wrong. I would rather prefer coffee-lover.


Nothing else can provide such a feast to the senses:


You hold the coffee mug in your hand-you sense that heat
You bring that coffee nearer- your olfactory senses bathe in the sweet aroma of coffee
You then look at the coffee- your eyes enjoy the golden brown color of the blend


Finally,as you have your first sip of coffee- that's when heaven comes to the earth and swirls on your tongue.
As you finish the last drop - A feeling of misssing your best friend will creep up in your mind.


Coffee smells like freshly ground heaven. ~Jessi Lane Adams
In Germany 4 o' clock is called cafe & kufu time - coffee and cake time.In India the Indian Coffee Houses became an icon of the worker's struggle.In Swedish culture, coffee plays an extremely important role as a social lubricant through a process known as fika, or a leisurely coffee break. I can never forget the day when I was truly surprised by the endless list of coffee varities in the menu board of a coffee house(wondering where? Well, it was inbetween England and France!yes!on board on a lovely ship!) These are some of the things I remember:
  1. Mocha Coffee
  2. Cappuchino
  3. Coffee Latte
  4. Espresso
  5. Irish coffee
  6. Chocolate coffee

Wow!That was great....I can never forget that wonderful low-cream coffee with a couple of coconut cookies and a croissant. I think I can end this with a note:

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons. ~T.S. Eliot

Deception Point


Read the book Deception Point by Dan Brown. Fantastic. I really loved the backdrop- Presidential elections of the USA. All the characters have been beautifully woven to gift a gripping, fast paced novel to the reader. I had 2 intuitions about the story, and both of them were right (dhoda). How could Dan get such secret facts? Great job! The plot is full of knots, and as each plot unfolds....I was starled, taken aback and wondestruck. A gud novel - information packed, patriotic-cum-scientific thriller.
RATING:
  • Plot: 5 stars
  • Humor: 3 stars
  • Characterisation: 4 stars
  • Flow :4 stars
  • Thrill: 5 stars
  • Langauage : 5 stars (for simplicity)
  • Narrative style: 4 stars
