I am not a regular
jogger but I do love waking up early to enjoy the freshness of the morning and
to touch the glittering cold drops of dew resting on green leaves. I
would love to share an experience- Around three days back, my friend and I
decided to do a jogging session together at the community park’s jogging
tracks. I was supposed to meet her at 6:00 AM. So, I set out from home,
somewhat sleepy but while I was sluggishly walking towards the park, something
perked up my mood all of a sudden! As I crossed the houses and the gates,
taking a turn, a smell that came from a house had me stuck in my tracks! It was
so lively and zesty that I literally stopped to fill it within myself for a few
minutes, without bothering about my poor friend waiting in the park! The timing
was perfect too! This very smell can literally steal your heart in early
mornings and late evenings making you leave everything in the world to enjoy
long reveries in its unparalleled aroma. No points for guessing- I am talking
about the smell of roasting coffee beans! It gives a reboot to all the
bored souls including those who suffer from exhaustion burn-outs and
depression, making them dance with a cuppa in hand!
Usually, most of us use
instant coffee powder to save on time and effort but if you really wish to
enjoy the real flavor of coffee, you will have to take a bit of pain and do
some effort and roast them to get the desired effect. The aroma is not only intoxicating
but is also very soothing. It can calm down tired brains, irritable moods and
stressed nerves within minutes, perking up the mood for better. Also, yes! It
is a mild form of aphrodisiac as well!
The tantalizing whiff of
fresh coffee mingled in the gentle air of early morning just made my day! I
stood glued to my place for some moments inhaling and relishing the redolence.
So, you can easily guess my next purchase- a bag of coffee beans to roast at
home!

ReplyDeleteHi Ankur
Deleteis it! I will check it out for sure :)
Hmmmmmmmmm its just divine! Just by reading your post I could smell the magic of roasting of coffee beans. Your post transported me to my childhood days. On the way home from my school there was a lane which was famous for coffee grinding and selling shops. Even though that route was a bit long, I religiously used to travel that way just for that magical aroma! I tried roasting and grinding it myself, but could never get that exact smell which I used to get there.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I hear the word coffee, I get the tune in mind-“pa-pa-pap-paa raa raa…The taste (smell) that gets you starting up” :). It is hard to forget some tunes :)
Have a wonderful morning with a delight in your hand! :)
Hi Stranger

Coffee is always a waiting drink for me.. Wen I am waiting for someone it keeps me calm and save the person who is coming late for the meeting from my wrath.. :P
ReplyDeleteHi Megha
Deletehahah! yes, i know! And also that you prefer cold cofee!
Sadly I can never smell that again as I lost my sense of smell but I do remember a store in the UK where they used to roast coffee beans, wonderful smell. That was when I was a very young woman. By the way, I never make instant coffee, always brew it even if I don't roast the beans
ReplyDeleteHi Jo

From IndiBlogger, I see that you are from Haryana. Coffee is even better in the South. Regardless, it is a great inspiration and I hope that you do well in the contest.
