I See Her Here

When I started seeing her in my dreams, I thought I had to visit her.

Where had my best-friend suddenly disappeared?

Why had she stopped receiving my phone calls and replying to my emails and messages?

I took the next flight to her city.

I went to her workplace and apartment.

When I showed her photo or asked about her, none recognized her.

They said- "No such girl ever worked or stayed here!"

I ordered coffee at her favourite coffee shop.

Photo Prompt- Susan Rouchard

When Sheep Jumped Higher Than Goats

When I was small, I liked the nursery rhyme- "Hey Diddle Diddle".

The third line of the rhyme- "The cow jumped over the moon" often made me wonder how it could ever be possible.

The moon is so far away.

Even a little child knows this.

The cow is near and so very dear. In India, the cow is considered to be our mother. Like mother's milk, cow's milk too has nourished us.

International Coffee Day 2023

It was great to celebrate International Coffee Day on October 1st 2023☕️ and to have conversations around coffee i.e. Coffee pe Charcha :)

In India, there are more tea-drinkers and tea-lovers than coffee-drinkers and coffee-lovers.
While "Chai Pe Charcha" are famous, coffee conversations are no less stimulating!

Thanks to Bangalore Times for choosing me as one of the winners of the Coffee Day special quiz they had conducted.
Winners earned an opportunity to be a part of this informative and stimulating event with fellow participants ☺️

Araku Valley Arabica Coffee #OdishaGI #GIsofIndia #KnowYourGI

We start with a quiz question.
Have you heard of Araku Valley?

It is a picturesque valley near Vishakhapatnam (Vizag) of Andhra Pradesh (AP). A simple Google search gives up many results about this place in "AP".


A special variety of coffee is grown in this valley.
Coffee Board of India had applied for the Geographical Indication (GI) tag of "Araku Valley Arabica Coffee." 
However, apart from Andhra Pradesh, parts of Odisha too were included in the same application.
