a lot can happen over coffee

Posted by mansoor on 14 Jun 2007 | Tagged as: heart 2 heart

When i drove past cafe coffee day earlier this year, i read their slogan and thought to myself “yea right!”. I mean, you see it all the time on TV shows, but the very fact that its on a TV show makes it kind of disjointed from reality. You see it, you wish for it, and get on with your life.

And then one day, just out of the blue, smack in the middle of one of the most difficult decisions you have ever had to make, it happens to you.

Days blur, mornings and nights have no difference anymore, its all just one big time.. (ofcourse, sleep deprivation plays a big role too :p) over coffees, movies and music you spend all your time, trying to be with each other, trying to out do each other, trying to out play each other, life as you know it comes to a standstill, yet life in its essence moves so fast you can hardly make sense of it at all much less try to control any of it, all you know is that you’re happy now.

She becomes the center, she becomes the universe itself, and at times you’re left wondering…

was it real?

The phone rings and it brings a smile to your face… its her… and time still hasn’t slowed down… days still haven’t come apart… and you still haven’t forgotten the taste of the coffee..

thats right people… a lot can happen over coffee (and sometimes, even more can happen over a movie).

    Xil: O.k. Ouch! That hurt, frosty. :(
    Psyched: Who knows what’s with ‘anything’ with Xil?! :D
    Mansoor: the blog is skzworldofdreamz.wordpress.com. I think I made a mistake with the ‘z’ at the end. Try. If it doesn’t work, ask Psyched or suga, coz I sure am ‘duh’ as far as all this is concerned. :)
