Just when this feeling – ‘I need Caffeine first!’ took me to the kitchen, I noticed that I was out of decoction and the milk pack remained unopened in the basket. As I sat at the table alone, waiting for the milk to boil and the decoction to be extracted, with no second thought in my head and no distraction in front of me ( which I unhesitatingly refer to a cellphone); I wondered how my life has revolved around COFFEE lately, Not just as a beverage but as a Profession which turned into Passion (usually works contrariwise for many.!) With the goal of making time, seem to pass more quickly, I started this A-Z word game! Here’s my way of COFFEE A – Z…
