My Coffee Love

I am back with more coffee memories. This time the romantic ones. All those who know me, know that I can have coffee in any form and the person closest to me put this to test. Well, Rahul and I have know each other for almost 6 years now. We have had our shares of ups and downs in the relationship which started off as just classmates and went through each level of friendship to convert into a beautiful relationship of love. In college, we bonded over “chai”. Yes, that’s the first time you hear me mention chai but whenever there is no good coffee available around me, I end up having a cup of adrak-wali chai.

For those of you who know me, know for a fact that I cannot, just cannot stay awake beyond 11pm, no matter what the situation! I was tensed... not for my safety or body clock or health but for my staying awake! How would I do that? And then, as most of you expect, coffee came to my rescue; my savior, my love, my hero! I started having a Rs.7 cup of cappuccino every night at 10:30pm just before the CCD guy took off for the night. Yes, you read it right!...
