Missin my Cup of Joe...

My worst nightmare come true! My favorite coffee shop, just got away from me.

I live at a place, which is lovely, but with the biggest drawback - my haven cafe' is 15 kms away from me.

Thus it takes me a minimum of 1hr to reach to the nearest. What a shame!

Specially, since my place is surrounded by fellow singles, living as students or those starting their career. Why would the abode of so many youth, be deprived of a decent coffee shop?

And the repercussions of this are that my drive for reading & art have all disappeared, specially when I need them the most. Sitting idle at home, my only escapades are the long naps I am forced to take unwillingly. Although I am not a sleep person, and can easily manage with 6-8hrs each nite, I nowadays am in slumber for nearly 11-13hrs a day. The waking hours are dedicated to Sex & The City and Cougar Town reruns on my laptop. The only good thing I happen to have picked up, is some flair for baking, with some cookies & chocolate cake, that distract me from my boredom. Although this meager good thing does not cancel out the negatives in my life, it is the only ray of light.

So, as I travel an hour for my lovely cuppa joy, I miss readin books while sippin a latte', or coming back after a refreshing cup of joy, that takes all my troubles away & leaves behind a taste of the fresh brew in my mouth & of happiness in my heart!

NEWSFLASH: Coffee 'the best way to wake up a woman'

Women are most likely to be woken up by the whiff of coffee, while their men prefer the smell of fried food as the best aroma to help get them out of bed to face the day, a survey in Britain has revealed.

However, overall the scent of coffee will kick-start 26 per cent of Britons into life, although 27 per cent of men say the smell of eggs, bacon, sausages and fried bread wafting from the kitchen is the enticement they need to get going in the morning, according to the survey.

Twenty-three per cent of women also say the scent of a zingy shower gel is the best thing to blow the cobwebs away.

Other scents that awaken the senses first thing in the morning include the smell of cut grass drifting indoors favoured by 11 per cent of people. Ten per cent say the odour of freshly baked bread is the one they like to wake up to.

And a romantic five per cent say the scent of their partner rouses them from sleep, the 'Daily Express' reported.

1 nite @ The Terminal

It was 23:45hrs when the flight landed. Sharp on time, is something we had not expected, since the Airline we had flown with, was an infamous one, but lighter on pocket. But we were not elated with its punctuality. Because, we knew we would have to spent the remaining hours of nite at the airport, till safe to go to the city.

We were the last ones to vacate our comfy seats in the flight, till the passenger on the window insisted on moving out. Pitifully, we let the man move out. He had seemed overly excited during the entire flight, always peeping out the window, looking over shoulders to see & absorb the newness of his experience.


Once on land, we boarded the bus, whilst enjoyin the fresh air on the taxiway. The shuttle brought us to the terminal, our abode for tonite. We were reluctant to collect our baggage from the luggage belt, and luckily, our bag was the last one to arrive(Guess it knew, we were the laid back ones today)
Roaming on the terminal, we checked out the space. Pushing the trolley & taking our turns to the washrooms, we finally found the place, that was gonna be ours for the night.
After making a few adjustments, we made it comfy for us, and began the long nite stay, with wide open eyes.

My never ending yearning for a good cuppa coffee, was making me impatient, to move out. But I knew better than that, coz, ones we went out, we would not be allowed back in the terminal. The 1 cup of Aztec coffee I had had before take off, from the Cafe Coffee Day outlet, would have to suffice - big & tough task!!!


Surfing the internet, watchin movie trailers on Youtube, FBing, were the best options, with nothing better left to do.We spend the nite at the terminal, moving out finally as did the sun, in the wee hours of the morning.
