An ode...

I am not new to this game, consider me a novice by no means.


I have done my share, mind you. I have used the likes of you! some much better than you. Deserted them all and never looked back when I had to move on. I never felt any regret, nor did I sense any guilt or remorse. Not even once did I feel compelled to linger, to come back, to surrender, to feel addicted. But with you..

The smile I have when I think of you.. is not exactly new, I admit. but I am surprised that it has not changed even after the novelty has worn off. On the contrary, I feel your need more and more and I do not want to think of those days when I cannot kiss you anymore. In simple words, I need you.

You have changed my habits, my whole day.. in a way, my life.

Addiction is not a good thing, I know. but thats what I have for you - All beans, no chicory, freshly ground.. oh my cup of coffee now that I know you, have you, I dont ever wanna let you go.

I got another cup just now!

As for Niranjani, it may be more like, turn into a coffee bean! CCD might make you a brand ambassador or something soon

@Sneha & Notgogol:

Saw ur comments nearly a month later.
Very much hoping CCD (at least the Cenotaph Rd one) will make me their ambassador, or Mercedes, or Ferrari.. sigh!! ;-)

@Notgogol: Not just Coffee Day, but a lot more places - all there on my bucket list :P

@Sneha - I tried that Irish coffee I mentioned, and it SUCKS (I found out that it is a combo of hot water, fresh cream & Irish syrup - I guess its that whiskey claim). I had a cup of frothy cappuccino to make up for that - one of CCD's best creations.

The long sigh

"Oh thank you my darling" said the gentleman in his hoarse, yet strangely calming voice.  I involuntarily let out a long sigh that...
