Hi people,
I am back at my typewriter (read Laptop's Keyboard) .Let us see how it goes.....
Well this weekend I made a trip or a visit should I say to a nearby CCD (Cafe Coffee Day) outlet along with 3 of my friends, all male. So as it turned out the cafe was bustling with youth vigor and I was pleasantly surprised to see the rush. Why pleasantly surprised I have no idea but may be because it gave me a feel good factor or may be because it reminded me of my college day's canteen visit after the class. In fact the timing was also very near to what it had been during my college days that right after the classes got over around 5 pm.
After waiting for few minutes outside we got a decent couch. I am stressing on decent because it gave us a great panoramic view of the whole of CCD and we were happy look around while sipping our Mochachillo or Devil’s own (I really was surprised by this name coz it seemed like that of a Cocktail).
Let me bring to your notice a important thing about CCD. Have you ever had a nice look at it if no, have a look at the picture above. It has three main features
· the text ‘cafĂ© coffee day” written in white
· the red background
· the green slash
The font of the text is “Slurry” as though the letters have congealed (coagulated) out of a liquid. The color white is a mark of purity of purpose an inherent characteristic of coffee. The red background is about Passion and the green stoke is 125 years of coffee growing heritage of this vertically integrated group. That is it.
So as it turned out we started discussing about the seated people around our table most of whom were filled with a pair or two pair of opposite sexes. But here we were all boys looking around and feeling around. And soon my eyes fell on a bunch of people with a substantial ratio of female all of whom did not look native to the place where the CCD was situated. Those guys did not look like normal run of the mill IT guys but were studentishh…. . So what might have brought them to this place It did not looked like a party, I guess there were just hanging around.
So my next question has our society changed so dramatically that now students don’t play cricket in the evening but rather hangout at a coffee bar. Were will this take us?
I am not sure it happens at New York or London for that matter. It is time we give a serious thought to this matter that the matter is channelizing our youth energy in the most positive direction. And I believe it this we start doing that rightaway.
Simply because “THE TIME IS RIGHT, THE STAKES ARE HIGHER, THE RESULT WOULD BE GREAT AND THE WORLD IS WATCHING”
