Coffee with Anu

Well. This is not like Coffee with Karan(star) or Koffee with Anu(Vijay TV). This topic is dedicated to my all time favorite drink Coffee :). As I just start thinking about it only, I could feel the aroma of coffee seeds brewing and decotion filtering.

I was not actually a coffee girl. My life started as a complan girl because I was lean, thin and puny. Infact I myself used to make fun of me saying the only weight I have gained so far is head weight. So my parents made sure that I drink complan. But did I drink. Well thats a different story. I hated milk and complan is something I hated the most. But no choice. Have to drink.Then I found a way out. Our house where I lived was a single bedroom house but outside we had a big garden with coconut trees, banana trees and even many crotons and parijatham(No idea in english) flowers..So there used to be one small banana tree which never grew. So I thought it needed the complan more than I need. So everyday after my mom gives me complan I used to take it out to drink and silently pour it to the banana tree. You wont believe actually it worked. The young small banana tree actually grew.I think complan might be a good fertilizer. Try the strawberry flavour.

Oops..Deviation. Now coming back to coffee..So every day morning when my mom puts the filter for coffee, the aroma of it, I just couldnt resist my tempation. But no..kids do not drink coffee!!! Then in my ninth standard holidays I went to my aunts house. Its in a town. Kind of a mini village. There I was the youngest and my aunt adores me a lot. So I get the full pamperings. And though my mom packed me my complan also in my luggage I convinced my aunt for a coffee. So daily I used to wake up around 5:30 with her and she will make decotion and the filter coffee. Wow!!!! And I used to take two cups one for me and one for laziest cousin and used to wake him up also and go to terrace. Just imagine...Filter coffee in hand and in terrace watching the sun rising..Its heaven in earth kind.

After that when I came back and was in 10th standard with Public exams and all that, My parents gave in for my coffee craze. And coffee especially the first coffee which my mom makes is the best.Actually after making the coffee, you should make it once the decotion is ready and warm and milk is warm with the right mix. If you warm it up later after making its gone. Just the way I used to love the best coffee, I hate the coffee which is not good even slightly. So according to me the best coffee is the coffee that too the first coffee made in the morning by my mom.

And then take the coffee sit near the window play your favorite song. If music is divine, then music plus coffee is well what would you call when its more than divine.

My grandma also makes good one but it would be too light.

After that the next good one I tasted is in a restaurant in pondy bazar. Well I have tasted coffee right from road side canteens to five star hotels in chennai. But the best I liked is in Balaji Bavan in pondy bazar in chennai.

Me and my friend Jayanthi and Priya at times almost most of the times after college used to walk till the hotel and have coffee. Every sip I enjoyed there.

Then it was coffee day. Well,all the time in balaji bavan and all the price of coffee is manageable. it was 2 ruppees. But later when I shifted to banglore working for accenture, that is when I started going to coffee day. Actually I liked the name coffee day. And also the coffee was good quite good because they grind it freshly and make but quite costly. But worth it too.

Then I had come to singapore. That is when I had learnt of the word latte!!! And then the star bucks. Wow I became a instant fan of starbucks. My mornings are always bliss just to think about star bucks. I loved to work in MT and so everyday I used to take a coffee latte and go to MT. And in weekends, where I stayed there was a library near and inside the library there was star bucks. So first I used to pick my favorite book then take my favoite latte and then go to ECP beach. I had one favorite reserved for me . A rock near the pond which no one would have noitced. At times I even enjoy being alone too.

And ya..the flavor of coffee can be 100 times better if you have best company also. Right now am missing someone too much and it really aches to miss some one. So well now, I am going to prepare a coffee for myself and play my favorite song sit near the window and enjoy my coffee with someone speical in my thoughts. So let me stop here.

Would you care for a coffee with Anu?
