Mocha---Ode to Coffee Conversation &Smile

Yesterday was one of the damp days of bangalore winter.Sun never showed up to work in the silicon city.He might have his pending leaves to be availed as most of us here.

As i had to meet my grand mom and convince her i cant accompany her back home i took a day leave.
By afternoon i was free and all the way left alone too enjoy the lovely cold day. I heard this climate was due to cyclonic rain in chennai.i called one of my old friend to find out where could i get the wax to make candles.I wanted to try this as candle making was something i wanted to from long time.Well we went to the crowded rajah market near avenue road and picked up all thats required to make candle. We ate something which was indianized version of burger.This is a small shop in Rajah park where the funkiest college crowd hang out. I went back to my college days and found how simple we were as students .Also though how my kids will be when they are at their college days.the Yo style as they call it with lose fitting jeans ear pierced --looks good on most of them though. We had the Indian Bun stffed with Nippat( its a kannadiga snack which is crispy spicy made of dal and gram flour fried in oil) cheese , carrot and onion shredded.It also had some sweet sauce and green chilly paste on it. Then there is masala coke or sprite.

I was really fun to have these two combos standing in front of that shop and seeing the crowd chatting and the droplets of rain swaying down.

My friend wanted to go and sit in a peaceful place .We travelled to lavelle road through the roads that goes throgh cubbon park. I could see the old bangalore charm .Tress with blues flowers was saying thanks to the winter leafless.
We got to this coffee shop called Mocha in lavelle road.Small house converted in to a coffee hub.
Their menu card says Life can wait and take a sip.An ode to the best things in life coffee conversation and smile.Yes there life stood still as the music played on .
