We are week end regulars at the coffee shop. We just like to sit and talk. We talk a lot. We debate, argue and laugh. We enjoy coffee. If I were to describe coffee I would say that it’s aromatic, agreeable, delectable, delightful, delicious, scrumptious, bold, familiar, fragrant and pleasant. It’s savory, warm, redolent, pungent and piquant. Also it’s flavorful and memorable. These are reasons enough that the city is dotted with a variety of coffee shops.
A typical coffee house with a reading section, a game of Pictionary, a cozy fire, a plush couch, a bunch of brilliant couch potatoes and a lot of debatable issues like modern day Indian politicians, lifestyle, history, culture, books, movies, religion, music, work and sometimes people is an ideal way to spend cold Milwaukee Saturday evenings.
At the coffee shop, we are learning. Initially unable to grab the best seat of the coffee shop, we have learnt that you stand in the queue to buy coffee only after you have dumped your jacket, cap, scarf, gloves, shopping bags and every thing else you can afford to offload on that couch by the fire place. A steaming cup of coffee is to follow, but later.
We have also learnt that there are other disadvantages of drinking coffee besides insomnia, anxiety, restlessness and headaches. The gravest disadvantage of all being disruption of schedule due to the discussion over coffee. The Yuletide season brings out the best art you can see on the coffee cups. It’s a gorgeous display of color and pattern. As a group we once got creative with what with saw on one such coffee cup at an airport coffee shop. We thought that the coffee cup told a story, a very long story. The story ended 20 minutes before the flight departure. Sadly enough we were refused the right to get on the plane.
Greatest modern intellectuals have exchanged ideas inside coffee shops. There is very little that you can't do in a coffee shop when it comes to social interaction and there is a lot less that you can't try at least once.
Thank you Mocha for months of madness, motivation and muffins!!

Nicely written and Kudos for taking time in enjoying little things we do in daily life. Brought back all those memories in-front of eyes in non-linear motion like a QT movie ;) It might be fitting too to add another 'M' to the title -- Memories. A lotttt can happen over coffee, how true it is :- it is the place of origin for many of our innovative games too, 'Dead Man Alive' 'Trivia game' (winner getting the paper slip as points, triangle game (Venky tried to create interest in this but we never played after one instance) , but nothing can beat the flight story :) Long live Coffee shops and drinkers too.. I mean coffee drinkers ;P
Very well written Yuvi. This article is as refreshing as a cup of hot coffee.
Coffee-shops have always been the most favoured destinations for the residents of 626 E State St Apts 607, 1007 & 1407. At coffee-shops, we've had innumerable arguments, agreements, opinions, trivia and 'dead man alive' games. Coffee has always been the stimulant/catalyst to the Heated discussions that we've had. Most importantly, we've had goodtimes. Truly, coffee helps to Espresso ourselves!
May we have seasons after seasons of 'Koffee with Kuan gang'.
