Jillunu oru Coffee :)


Itz one of those perfect evening!

Dark clouds hovered above me covering the thinnest ray of light that tried to pierce its way out to the earth .....Birds went chirpin n flyin around me with a sense of urgency......In a way i envied those tiny creatures a lot....they happily fly without a care....always in groups...with none feelin lonely or missed.... they stay together....with the vast space at their disposal....they seemed to live every moment of their lives ....

A gentle cool breeze graced me bringing along the unique smell of earth.... boy..i luv it sooooo muchhh....our mother earth does remind us that earthz still has that sweetness left in it inspite of all the dirt shed by the ignorant sapiens.... I took a deeep longg breath.....and felt the earthly love all over me... I luvd it so mucchhh........

A tiny drop of rain..... with the mighty force of gravity n acceleration....hit hard on my head....i looked above to see more of those tiny missiles....attackin me..... i allowed them to land on my face happily..... a sense of happiness filled me....i felt light... refreshin.....i stood there with my arms wide open ......getting myself drenched....

"Thambi...mazhai kottuthu....ulla vaa paa.." nair....from the nearby T-shop was shouting at me....I smiled...and went....in...

"Nair....soooda oru T"

"Enne Thambi ithu velaiyaatu.....chinna pulla maathri....sari eppo pola special T thaaane..."

"Athethaan...Bajji soooda irukaa nair.."

I smelt cofeeee....

"Sir....Herez your tall... low fat...no whip....extra hot...cinnamon less....mocha..."

Huh...."Thank you ..."

I woke up to realize...that i'm sittin in caribou...one of the famous american coffee shops...up north....with my laptop on the desk.....It was raining outside!

"Can I have a peanut-butter cookie plzzz...?"

logic said...

To gain something we lose something..

I dont know wat am gaining now but all i see is am losing lot of things

Does this hold good to all..:-) !!

logic said...

Good startup ..neat description

cons:
But the changeover from nair to caribou was so quick and could have done a smooth transition

lot of usage of "...."

you transported me to my haven in India and then back to reality in the US of A in the span of a few choice words. Kudos! :D

the minute i entered our college canteen, the canteen-anna used to yell (much to my mortification), "enna ma, bondava bajjiya". seniors called me bonda :((
