Some interesting quotes I happened to come across which I strongly concur with!
An English proverb says, “Behind every successful man, is a woman”. And Stephanie Piro says, “Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee”. Kudos to Stephanie! How witty! :)
And if in case I don't have my cuppa this is what happens to the computer in my brain:
“Caffeine Allocation Error: COFFEE.SYS Not Found: User startup disabled” ;)
I must confess, I’ll die without my daily dose of caffeine. Inexorably addicted! :D:D:D

I shld ask a certain Sophie :D

@Ashwin: Krishnaaaaaaaaa.... :D Somebody soon get Ashwin a cuppa... He needs it badly! ;) ;)
Your addiction to coffee is understandable and I wish that you become a connoisseur in it.
Who knows like the so called "Wine Tasting" sessions that take place in 5-star hotels charging ridiculous amount of fees.... you too might be in demand as Master Coffee Taster :).
Also next time you enjoy your cuppa bear these things in mind:
1) It requires 140 litres of water to produce coffee beans required for your one cuppa( Dont ask me how do you define a normal cuppa:) ).
So you are depriving earth of its precious fresh water.
Of course matter can neither be created be nor destroyed. So you once again have a "choice".
2) Coffee is the world's second most valuable trading commodity after oil.
If you are drinking Chikmagalore Coffee.. then njoi maadi, but if you are sipping Ethiopian coffee then watch the movie " Black Gold" which is about the impoverished Ethiopian coffee growers suffering the bitter taste of injustice.
Now don't curse me if you develop an inkling of dislike towards coffee, I have just placed facts before you :)
Now the good news:
If you want to become a millionaire with the help of coffee then visit http://www.stellaawards.com/ for further details.
It requires 20,000 litres of water for 1 kilo of Coffee(http://www.envirowarrior.com/how-many-litres-of-water-does-it-take-to-make-a-quarter-pounder/)...
Required human consumption of water by humans beings is 2-3L/day.
Now 20000/2.5(say) = 8000.
Which means u can make freshwater available to 8000 people by forgoing 1 kg of the substance behind "successful women" :).
You can extrapolate it further considering the demographic profile and social responsibility.
Thats it on coffee.
BTB, wish u a happy coffee sipping experience for today(hopefully not the last :) )
PS: Facts mentioned above are true, calculations & deductions though technically tenable , but pragamtically variable depending on the person in question :).
So,now, whattyya gonna say ?????
Needless to say, serious topics will get equally serious replies and possibly a notch higher.
Less serious ones will attract frivolous replies.
Any inadvertent trespassing of limits should be outrightly notified.
In the end, nothing personal!!
Should I consider your silence as a tacit disapproval of
a)my views
b)my uninvited enthusiasm to respond to your blog
c)both
d)None of the above(hopefully :))
Request a simple answer to the above question for me to respond to your subsequent blogs.
At the outset, lemme tell u that the answer to your question is D) none of the above. I was faced with the prospect of work and hence couldn't reply.
And my my my.. I am baffled by the facts! :D Was an interesting read. I am overwhelmed by your comments!Thanks a ton. Keep it going.
Now as far as quitting coffee is concerned, I am sure u have understood I WILL NOT, come what may. A choice in this case may be exempted. If I(jus one), out of millions of coffee connoisseurs across the world stop drinking coffee, its hardly gonna make a difference. "Matter can neither be created nor destroyed"!! ;) Hence, I shall continue to sip the "Divine drink"!!
The motto( or punchline as its called these days..) of a famous spiritual institution in India goes like this:
"Aatmanah mokshartham, Jagat Hithya cha".
Now to a similar one to suit u:
" Aatmanah sukartham, Jat Hithya cha" :)
As always, choice is urs!!
sarve jantavaH priyavAkyapradAnena tuShyanti!! ;);) Hahaha... :D
The greatest advice/knowledge known to mankind "Bhagavadgeetha" itself left the final choice to the follower, so.. who am I???
The sloka in question is Chapter 18 Sloka 63 check it out :
http://www.bhagavad-gita.org/Gita/verse-18-59.html
(sorry could'nt copy paste the actual sloka ....swalpa adjust maadi:))
Agreed. Krishna is wise!! :D Some choices must be left to the sole discretion of the participant! :P
At the end of the day.......or even end of this eon/yuga wat ever...I guess the best way to describe you is wat Rene Descartes once described" Cogito Ergo Sum "..."I Think Therefore I AM".
PS : Heard of the company ITTIAM, which is into DSP. It stands for just that.
U got it!! :)
N yes, i know about ITTIAM. That's where my cousin's spouse works! "ITTTIAM" - what a thought!! :)
Are u still alive without ur coffee today?
God is so great he increases acidity on one end and basicity on the other :)
Good that people with acidic tone get their due :) so that we can get back to the basics of life namely earth & water!!
I had my cuppa today! Some rules are meant to be broken u know :) Waise, I had to keep my neurons active! And had to ward off sleep for obvious reasons. :)
Ur criticism seems pure acid! Is it?
Well my criticism might "seem" to be acidic or basic at the outset, but I know that you know and you know that I know the real pH level !! :)
Did the "obvious reasons" earn me any curses today morning?
Well, no points for guessing that!! :) hahahaha... Between the pH value seems less than 7. Is it?
A "chemistry" question sometimes when answered in english might lead to a complex question which might deconstruct itself in the time domain !! :)
Ha ha.. Good one!! :)
Good or Bad, but "Time" & Tide waits for none!!
