The Last Week Of 2017,Hadn’t been planned.And had no idea it  would be another Hectic week ahead right since the week began,The preparation of the Annual ‘Cookie Exchange ‘we’re getting done,From the menu,To the Photoshoot.

Thinking ahead  for 2018,Ordered Books online,And Had The Photoshoot planned for the  books  which I not only planned to start my Year with ,But almost done reading “ExitWest” to having  fulfilled one of my other passions besides Filmmaking. Sharing my learning  and experiences with  others ,some teaching.Well Yes”Coffee Tasting” sessions for lovers of the beans and for the listeners of a Radio Station 104.2 Fm jiyodilse.The 365 Day  calendar Year!!

Surely had a mix of 365 different  moments. Including the eve that welcomed the Year in a simple  way of having Conversation with  friends who are more likely to be frequently met over this Year. And to conclude the night with Irish Coffee with a friend at home.

Coffee tasting session

The coffee tasting workshop.

An idea that came about,during my journey from nashik to mumbai by my co-passenger.And suddenly it all got me excited to share my love of coffee with coffee lovers.

To my surprise there were quite a few interested in the session. And on the day of the session,Most of them turned up too.an hour session turned into a two hour session.

With about six different types of coffee and how to use different types of coffee makers,With some cakes and cookies.

A Sunday,That turned out to be an ideal Sunday in many ways.Looking forward to make this a regular workshop in the future.

A lot can happen over coffee and it can switch on  the best in you!

Brewing!!

one day,I had brewed  excessive french press for my morning breakfast and so,I decided to have some and refrigerate the rest and have it in evening.

Once,I was back in the evening,I had my ‘ColdBrew’ Little did,I know.On my trip to the states,this was the current trend.finding it hard to believe tried a couple of them from the starbucks,to THE Stok all these who were now marketing cold brew!! and while some of them tasted amazing with a twist of flavours added to them , some  tasted really bad.

But,the cold brew is surely a hit!!! for the ones looking out for coffee on the go.

Another coffee chain went a step further and introduced the ‘draft latte’ thats in simple terms cold latte.

simple ideas with an experiment.

Why do we not, experiment with the options we have ?

Mind It !!!


The last few days I have been having so many thoughts running in my mind and too many questions have been popping in mind. Who is an interesting person? How is a boring one ? How do we know one is smart or why do we think one is dumb ? Well, I don’t have the answers to these question.But,I think one comes to the conclusion of the thoughts as one might have similar interest same as the other one.One is considered a bore if he get into a lot of the details or is totally the opposite of the other.

There is some mystery around one that can make one interesting.where as one cannot be considered solely on his ability to score grades as being intelligent or Dumb.

The practicality of application of problem and coming with solutions to problem can be one way of considering one being intelligent or Dumb.Also intelligence cannot be quantified if two people have the same thoughts and third one has another opinion. 

Intelligent person have also be one of the crowd and not part of a majority.Everybody can be intelligent or Dumb in their area of expertise.

It’s such a highly dillusional thought of differentiating one being intelligent or Dumb.Or for that matter Interesting or Bore.A Bore can be interesting to another person and an interesting Person can be Bore to another one.
