coffee

Idli Vada

The simplest foods change the mood inside the mind. Bring alive memories. And sometimes make you long to come back for good. The food pipe is the best route on the map of life! ..

Oh. What I not do for Idli vada?

Coffee and Conversations: Wisdom in Every Sip

My dad always said, “Coffee drinkers are better thinkers.” He was a wise man. I’ve never had a reason to doubt him.

These days, “Coffee?” is the answer to everything.

Questions, answers, problems—it doesn’t matter. Coffee solves it all. Especially in Mumbai. The city hums with its energy, fuelled by endless cups.

Maybe it’s the caffeine. Or maybe coffee is just a great excuse to pause, talk, and think.

Either way, I’m not arguing. Coffee?

Stories a Brass Kettle

Objects have character. Don’t they? This brass kettle from another era sat quietly, serving filter coffee and cardamom tea for generations. Imagine what it has seen!

Families growing, stories flowing, and lives unfolding—all while it stayed still.

Sometimes, I wish it could talk, spilling tales of the people and the times. But its dents and marks do the talking. They hint at the lives it touched.

So, I let my imagination take over and weave my own stories.

After all, isn’t that what character is—a silent storyteller of time?

Spotted at a coffee shop in a train station. Somewhere in #London . Some messages make you think. Others bring out a smile. Yet others get you to do both!

Perhaps it’s the ambience. Or perhaps it is the weather. Maybe the coffee. Or simply, the simple yet profound meaning in the message.

What gives character to a city beyond its buildings is what happens on its pavements.
It is always a sight to SEE conversation. HEAR exchanges of glances and smell Coffee. OK, beer in this case.

Imagine a character rich pavement complemented by a colourful history as a backdrop.
Just jaw dropping awesome.
A cafe with the St.Michael and St.Gudula cathedral as a backdrop in the heart of #Brussels .

Whatay setting.

There are many religions in the world. The one that appeals to me is here! 🙂 You dont have many rituals. Nor any holy book. But if there was a God, he resided in a bean.
Today as we sat in a new cafe, our legs tired and eyes weary, someone from the next table leaned over, looked at my drink and said, ‘ah coffee’. That started a whole new conversation. A new connection in a far off land! #Travel #Coffee #amsterdam #amsterdamcity #Conversation #Stories #Traveller #EU #Netherlands #Food
