Break the rules…

Why things are needed to be carried in conventional way always? What if, happens unconventionally?  The thought has been jamming in mind since long. Here goes, ‘break the rules act’…

 

You can not directly go and sit in your boss’s desk and attend his calls. Your father won’t produce the bill for your stay at his home every month. Your girl friend never allow you to watch the movie with another pretty(J) girl. So, there is a limit. With that limit, keeping in mind…

 

Imagine yoy are writing an application to the corporation authority by requesting to take care of stinking problem at your residential area(you can write similar to your boss also, you please try yourslef)… UNCONVENTIONALLY, breaking all the etiquette of ‘formal’ letter writing…

Like the above one, below is another kind. You are composing a mail to your friend about weekend movie plan. UNCONVENTIONALLY, breaking all the etiquette of ‘casual’ writing to the friend.

Unconventional acts can not be rooted to the core. Still it’s limited up to an imagination, won’t harm any(including usJ). If this thinking brings smile on your face, it’s good for your health. For me too.

See.. Its’ HOT…

“No boss, I didn’t ask for coffee”, I said.

 

The guy at the counter, “No sir, you asked for coffee”.

 

Me, “No boss, I might have asked for tea”.

 

“No sir, I am sure that you didn’t ask for tea, but for coffee only”, the guy replied.

 

I had this quarrel at Om Muruga canteen, Velachery, the one place I prefer to have a cup of tea over coffee almost everyday atleast one time.

 

Why he should lie? I might have asked for coffee only. Yes, I asked. Because I knew that coffee means a lot to me.  

 

“OK… no issue… I take this coffee”, moved to the corner. But consciously unconscious asking of coffee centered out in my mind.

 

Coffee means grey, coffee means warm, coffee means energy, coffee means hi, like many gives the definition. The movie, ‘Pyar ki side effects’, gave a naughty definition too. But, what coffee means to me? More than a drink, it means a lot. My morning, work, mood, break, fun, bliss, gloomy, end etc etc. So no wonder that I was easily convinced that I might have asked for coffee only.

 

During my MBA days, it was believed that B-School guy’s typical day cycle rolls with coffee/tea, cigarette, google, bench and beer. Still at this career life, same routine trails, with the addition/deletion of something, but coffee/tea never get replaced. I start a day with a mini cup of hot coffee(hot is very important to me) at Hot Chips, Ashok Nagar. If I miss a cup, it makes me to feel like that I miss something in the fine morning.

 

In my early days, I used to get scolding from my mum for my numerous coffee consumption. At that time, my coffee schedule inclined like this, pre-brushing, post-brushing, pre-breakfast, post-breakfast, goes on and on. But these days, mum reminds me, “take the coffee from the flask, kept at the kitchen”, during my rare visits to home. She might be understood that I could not get the best coffee outside like the one, she serves me. Though we have CCDs, Qwiky’s and baristas, mum prepared is always special. Right?

 

Despite my friends’ severe warning on outsized consumption of coffee, which may lead to health hazards, me showing ‘never care’ attitude, but with a little fear in my mind. Is that serious?

 

Corby Kummer has traveled all across the nations to find out all the possible methods to make a great cup of coffee and has written a book, ‘The Joy of Coffee’. Interesting. We are no more in front of him to talk about coffee. Let me stop here to browse through the e-book and you?
