Kaapi and Cappuccino

So, what did I do this weekend? I drank a cup of coffee. And now, If you're wondering why would I be blogging about some cup of coffee I drank, its purely because I have understood that "life is not solely composed of tasks, but tastes."
Okay, continuing: I drank another cup of hopeless coffee at the ubiquitous Cafe Coffee Day. Hopeless, I say, because that is exactly what it appears when compared to the kaapi at any of the numerous Darshans or Saagars in every nook and corner of the city.
It's not that I realize my preference for kaapi only now but the law by Mr. Murphy, or any of the corollaries following from it probably played their part. I was there meeting a friend and it is only obvious that I ask the individual for a cup of tea/coffee. The answer in most cases is yes, for almost everyone knows my affinity for caffeine. The problem here was that I meant a filter kaapi and the friend here was more of a cappuccino type. No problems, I thought as it was just a matter playing my own convincing self but no, it was not to be. The friend wouldn’t budge an inch, and when I saw that condescending glare, CCD it had to be.
An hour and a half later, smoking passively all the while, I silenty shelled out two 100ers; bid the friend adieu, and headed for the same old darshan. Filter kaapi, it had to be!

hmm, remind me one of my very bad experience in CCD..
i was not a coffee lover but i went there to treat my roomi as she is an addict to coffee.
We ordered somethind Cold coffee and when it came it was more like that crushed ice with with different flavours on it...
It was too bad..we never went there after that...

Desh,
That Naresh has simply disappeared from the planet. I just can't seem to find him. I think we'll have to call him at some CCD only; else he won't come.
And please don't remind me of our fantastic food trips back then yaar at the Municipal market and all!

This design uses a basic right angle weave technique to create a Crystal Bracelet. Cut a length of Nymo beading thread approximately 1.5metres or as long as you are comfortable using. About 15 cm from the end attach a bead Crystal Bottle Stopper. Each bead always has a seed bead either side of the Crystal Paperweight. So always add on bead "units" for example, one seed beads one crystal (or pearl) then one Crystal Decoration, every time you need to add on beads. Thread on 4 small Crystal Earring units: 1 seed bead, 1 crystal, 1 seed bead, 4 times. Allow beads to fall down near your bead Crystal Ring. Add on 1 small crystal unit, 1 small pearl unit and 1 small crystal unit. PNT next small Crystal Pendant (on the circle you have just added on) then through small pearl unit. Add on 3 small pearl units, units, then PNT existing small Crystal Necklace on the previous circle, and then pull thread up. You will now have 3 adjoining circles. A friendship bracelet is a token of love and affection exchanged between friends to celebrate and strengthen the ties of their friendship.
