It was just another day - Lazy morning, going to office even lazier, stand up meeting, coffee, coding, some meetings, lunch, more meetings - This went on till five in the evening. All of a sudden ' the friday evening' feeling started to percolate especially in the cubicle where I sit. My colleague and I start some gibberish conversation and we come to the topic of 'filter coffee'. By the way this colleague of mine claims he has evolved into Chef Sanjeev Kapoor by virtue of his attempts to cook. His name is Bharath - if I were to describe him in a few words I would say ' A guy who is really proud to hail from Chennai'. Basically a very simple guy who can enkindle any situation into a funny one - I think very few people can do that.
So we had a session on 'How to make filter coffee'. After a futile attempt at explaining me the making process, which lasted for say fifteen minutes, he made a couple of calls to his mother, we searched wikipedia, and finally zeroed upon the ingredients and the procedure. This was his plight after making filter coffee regularly! Atleast he says he is regular! At the end of it I learnt how to use the filter coffee maker which I had been misusing so long.
I was wanting to move out early from office today and that urge strengthened after I learned our 'boss' had left. It was easy convincing Bharath to accompany me for a plate of Rava Idli to a nearby coffee shop Miverva. We were ready to leave in no time. We truly lived up to the saying -' the mice are out when the cat is away' !
Bharath, I realised has turned into a glutton ever since he 'quit' smoking. (his definition of quit is to abstain till the next time he does it) and I dont need to quit anything for that :). We devoured the idlys at the speed of 1 idly in about 2 mins. We bahaved as if we had not eaten anything and ordered dosa next. A cup of coffee followed. I avidly enjoy the minerva coffee as it is 'filtered' by nature! We talked a lot over the coffee and so called evening snacks. It was really good fun.
Albeit there was nothing unusual about the evening I was feeling fresh and happy by the end of it.
Am back home now and I prepared coffee - the filtered way! Cheers Bharath dear!
