Coffee

Har koi chai se Ishq Karta hai, Kabhi coffee Se Mohabbat Kar ke Dekho kitna maza aata hai.

I'm pretty sure all of us have experienced this weird liking phase when it doesn't matter what time it is or where are you are. You keep humming that tune, or if someone asks you what do you want that one thing strikes your mind instantly! Well, I never liked anything which had milk in its ingredient list but then entered Coffee into the picture. Every time anyone used to ask me what do you want I would say Coffee without even a second thought. One beautiful day when I was home alone craving for that one cup of coffee, I decided to make one for myself I mean how difficult that can be. I have seen Mumma doing it. I know the process, picked out my favorite cup from the shelf, arranged all the ingredients in a row just like MasterChef, and I'm all ready. Did everything like her but the taste was not the same in fact it was something horrible. I tried adding more milk and sugar but still not okay. I poured everything down the sink and started all over again. It didn't taste good this time either and againnnnnnnn I poured it in the pan. Not once or twice, but I emptied all my efforts down the drain almost five times, and by this moment, Mumma was back. Half liter milk was gone. Looking all confused and furious she asked what do you want? I explained to her my coffee craving. Agitatitly she said move, I'll make it for you and don't you ever dare to enter my kitchen. See the mess you've created. After almost 10 minutes, there was my perfect cup of Coffee while handing it over she casually said something which stuck in my teeny tiny brain, and I think that makes soo much sense to me now. The golden words went like "even the minimal  proportion of an ingredient makes a large difference, how well you stir everything, give it time to blend  and settle will bring out the best and true essence of those coffee grounds."

AREN'T WE ALL LIKE THOSE COFFEE GROUNDS? I know it is an unusual metaphorical reference, but it is true. Let me break this down for you. Whenever you open that lid of the glass bottle, a beautiful, unique yet powerful fragrance fills our nostrils and goes straight to the heart. You, I, and each single one of us is like that coffee ground. Substantial as individuals. Nothing can beat that authenticity of your, and no one can ever deny your presence.
You are you
that is truer than real;
there is no one alive  that is
you're then you.
It takes courage to own the bitters taste like our quirks. Honestly, I've comprehended that if you try to be that cool kid from the class, you will end up being incredibly dull. However, Coffee can never be boring, right?! It injects a vibe of happiness. But even Coffee never knew it would taste so beautiful and perfect before it met sugar, water, and milk. We are super useful as individuals, but we become even better when we meet people. All the ingredients that go in that cup with Coffee have distinct and eccentric nature, but only when it blends, it gives that perfect taste. Our peer groups are like that each one has a peculiar quirk and quality and we need them so that we as individuals can reflect our best. By need, I don't mean they overpower you or take your essence away. Similar works another way round also, don't take their taste as well; give space to them. Even people's presence in your life in just the right amount is vital.

Otherwise, just like my first cup of coffee, it will be all weird and awkward. People come and go and each phase demands a new you. Don't get me wrong I'm not generalizing things. At different times our peers will leave a disparate impact, and their influence will brew out the results. Espresso, red-eye, Americana, cappuccino, flat white, mocha, iced all are different types of coffee preparation and what makes them distinct from one another? The fact that what ingredients are added in what quantity and on what temperature it is boiled on. Like every cup of Coffee, our peer group also takes time to blend and goes through their set of ups and downs. But that doesn't mean we stop stirring because it is going to leave lumps, and those lumps are like knots in the delicate thread of relationship.

You are real and authentic, stir what suits you the best. Never did I mention that be strong or stand out because of you already very special. We just need to love our unmatched individuality and choose the correct set of people with whom you can not only stir the best cup of coffee but can also enjoy it through thick and thin.
