Good Morning..

Good Morning !! Back to work and time to sip some frothy coffee...i dnt really bother too much about what kind of coffee i drink, though coffee lovers have a whole lot of choices to make between their mokka, latte, instant, expresso, cappachino, etc..for me and most of my friends..coffee drinking was usually about being "different" and depended on how much money we had!! In school..when guys had tea in the school canteen, we snooty girls only had coffee! In college, it was usually cold coffee cos we were suddenly aware that tea n coffee were not so cool in such a hot open canteen ! When we went for movies, baristas and Cafe Coffee Days were beyond our budget..so it was coffee at the smaller restaurants with snacks which usually was instant coffee I think...now I feel I know my coffee slightly better since we can now afford to go to the Baristas n order the latte or the mokka with an all knowing look on our faces!!

Just a few days ago mom had looked pensively at the coffee mugs and said ...we don't really know how to make a great cup of coffee with coffee beans...we should, incase some needs to be served to guests..! With mom, a lot of things in the house are about these "guests"...new and expensive table covers are kept inside to be used when we are going to have guests at home..so are the pure white curtains, the embroidered bedsheets, and expensive cutlery and ofcourse sofa covers will need to be removed... I once asked mom how long will an unannounced guest have to wait at the door while we scurry around renovating the house inside...I guess that softened her stand a bit...now when i'm having friends over..she does'nt bother bout a thing!!
