That looks so delicious. And with that we come to the end of my Sunday Morning Coffee Pic series. I’ve been doing this regularly for quite a few months now but it’s time to quit that weekly feature. I’m also glad to end this series with a pic of one of my favourite coffees. I love Caramel frappes.

For the past many months I’ve added this little weekly feature, the Sunday morning coffee pic, although not explicitly name. This is a tribute to my addiction love for coffee and all the wonderful coffees out there in the world. Some truly wonderful photos are out there in Flickr and I’m using my blog as another small & humble means of sharing it with you. Happy coffee drinking Sunday!
When am I a zombie: I am a zombie during the time that lapses between waking up and sipping my first coffee. I cannot function in the morning without having my precious coffee intake the first thing in the morning. The waking up, heading to the bathroom, washing my face and brushing my teeth are just a prelude to the day’s first real activity which is drinking coffee. The day can be as shitty as possible but without coffee you will not be able to know.
Today I woke up at 6am and was working on automatic pilot until the first sip. After the alarm rings, I hit the snooze button for 5 minutes more as my eyes just refuse to open if I threaten to pry them open with a crowbar. 5 minutes later, the shrill alarm rings again, rudely reminding me that I do have to wake up earlier than usual. So ok, I am u but my brain is on standby. I get to the loo, I wash, I brush, I pee. There essentials done I now need my coffee. The smell of coffee being made is hitting my nose & the senses are beginning to get awakened. The saviour is in town, I need coffee. I lurch towards the kitchen, boiling water & milk is being poured into a cup that contains the instant magic and sugar. I stir the spoon in the big black cup that I have and voila! Nectar for the 30 plus man.
I bring the cup to my room, switch on the laptop, put on some music appropriate for this time of the morning and sit down for the first sip. Ahhh, I am awake now. Time to plan out the day. And more coffee!
A Harvard professor of biomedical engineering has created this little contraption that will give you a quick & convenient fix. David A. Edwards, has developed a product that may make getting caffeine into your system a little more efficient called Le Whif Coffee, Edwards’ java jolt comes in a biodegradable container about the same size as a tube of lipstick, and is ingested by inhalation instead of drinking – a strong reminder of the ‘drug’ nature of caffeine.

Although this series of photos that I post over here is called my “Sunday Morning Coffee Photos” post, it’s ok to have a pic of a late night latte too.

It has been a very tiring week. Month end reports, searching for data. Working on data. Computing data. Struggling to get data. Then putting it together to create more data. Working on Excel sheets and ppts. Sending out emails after emails. But it’s been worse than the previous year and a half. But I am glad that it’s over….for now.
I have also been feeling a little tired. Actually a whole lot tired and it’s because I can’t get much sleep these days. It hasn’t rained since last Friday night. Well maybe a little trickle. And it’s hot & humid and dry as a desert. So I sweat a lot and I get drained of energy. I lie in bed every night watching a movie or tv series. After an hour, my sheets & pillow covers are soaked. I drink a lot of water to replace all the liquid that I lose but what about the salt?
Anyway, I decided to leave the office 30 minutes early and headed out to Cafe Coffee Day near Shenoy’s Junction. After suffering some really annoying fellow passengers who acted like idiots rather than grown men, I got down and walked over to the cafe…it was empty of customers and cool! Perfect. I bought a hot dog and a frappe and it felt good. I love coffee but I love it even more when it’s cold. Especially during weather like this.
Then I came home and it’s even more hot and sweaty. I hope it rains.
