I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee. ~Carly Simon

There’s much more to coffee than it being called just a “beverage”. A sorcerer beverage it should be called.

I mean look at the coffee shops today, a lot can happen over a cup of coffee(I am totally “for” this CCD brand statement), coffee and conversations…
CCD, Mochas, Brio, and Barista et al….have you ever heard of “tea” parlors??( Even though it being the most consumed beverage in India)

They are here to stay man!! Look at the precincts….cool jukeboxes with the most soothing songs playing on them, they make coffee all the more sumptuous…and even if certain shops don’t play songs, they make sure they have a live band which is more effective I suppose….wide assortments of daily newspapers….comfy cushion seats…widest array of coffees from around the world…and all of them at “reasonable” rates.. the aroma can compete with the fragrance of first-rain-wet-mud whiff…I mean, you never feel outta place at these coffee kiosks…all just for “coffee”??

And you know what, King Charles was so much miffed with the idea of coffee kiosks that he passed the following resolution way back in 1675:
"A PROCLAMATION FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF COFFEE HOUSES: Whereas it is most apparent that the multitude of Coffee Houses of late years set up and kept within this Kingdom...and the great resort of idle and disaffected persons to them, have produced very evil and dangerous effects; as well for that many tradesmen and others, do herein misspend much of their time, which might and probably would be employed in and about their Lawful Calling and Affairs; but also for that in such houses...divers, false, malicious, and scandalous reports are devised and spread abroad to the Defamation of His Majesty's Government, and to the disturbance of the Peace and Quiet of the Realm; his Majesty hath though it fit and necessary, that the said Coffee Houses be (for the Future) put down and suppressed..."
King Charles II of England, December 23, 1675
This rule was revoked on January 8, due to widespread citizen protest.

Okay…coffee….. as I said, a magical drink!! There IS something very very sensual attached to this drink…..say, does anyone invite someone on a “tea” meeting? Or directly dinner?? First step towards seducing anyone…..first dates- always coffee..I have “bean” there buddies..:P
And who keeps you awake when your futile attempts to keep off your eyes from drooping fails..?? They say, sleep is the ramification of caffeine deficiency ;)
Forget your troubles with a cup of coffee, drown your sorrows in the coffee mug..it works, trust me..
And didn’t someone say, drinking coffee comes with a lot of health benefits??? Our great Pope’s frequent ailment was persistent head aches which he cured by inhaling steam of coffee, said Dr. Johnson in The Life Of Pope.

Abhi ke liye itna hi “coffee” hai….

So Be a coffee-drinking individual - espresso yourself!
