over a cup of coffee


On this lazy Saturday, after having done monotonous laundry, eating rather dull lunch, watching a very average movie and then taking bath, and chatting with my cousin in India, I really didn't know what to do to live rather than merely exist.

So I got up and a brewed a cup of coffee, in the most elaborate manner I was ever told, coz after all, it is a lazy Saturday! It was during the making that I realised that the coffee was indeed turning a delight. It had been a while since the last time I took my nose over the brewing coffee to fill the brewed air deep into my lungs. And with a heavy breath, I lost myself into that aroma... It smelt just right.

It was with that coffee that I came out into my balcony, just to melt into the surroundings. I guess God is smiling at me today. What I saw, felt, heard, sensed, smelt around me was as if the whole world was conspiring to invigorate me from within. There is someone playing beautiful guitar just nearby. Sun is almost about to set, and the ground in front of me has turned golden yellow. There is a cool breeze that the trees and I are swaying to. Every sip of coffee I take in simply melts away on my tongue, leaving behind its aroma... I can see coulds up in the sky. They aren't covering the whole space, and a few of them shrug a drop or two of rain on me, sometimes on my feet or sometimes on my forehead. My glasses have become moist by the vapours coming out of my cup.


It could just be the coffee playing on me, but I remembered that prayer that we were taught when we were toddlers...

Thank you God for the world so sweet... Thank you God for the Birds that sing... Thank you indeed God, for everything.
