Black Coffee

-
You walk right out of bed, with your hair looking like a crow's nest and your feet lazily tucked into your slippers. You're not even fully awake yet, but you're habituated enough to perform the routine without even opening your eyes.


So you just rub your eyes, get your cup out, hold it out under the water filter, till its filled to the right level and then stick it into the microwave and shut the door to it. When its warm enough you can spoon in just the right amount of coffee into it and then just stay there, enjoying the aroma of pure black coffee.

The Key to a Perfect Cup,...

Is to not add sugar.

Any sane person who loves Black coffee knows this. Sugar isn't good for your coffee. It entirely suppresses the bitterness of strong and pure coffee.

Before you tell me, that's the whole point of adding sugar...hear me out.

Take a sip

You won't like it. For most, its an acquired taste. For some, you take right to it. 
Its too bitter when its cold and too sweet with the sugar. Its bland if its not black enough and unbearable if its "too" black.


To get just the right amount of coffee into your morning, you'd have to be an avid coffee lover, who is actually willing to go through all those trial and error experiences, to get you to the perfect cup full of hot, fresh, nice black coffee.

Yeah, I just had mine. Good Morning Y'all :p

Flipping Off Your "Humanity Switch"

-

You may have come across people in daily life who have the ability to completely turn off their emotions for a while. People belonging to the "Vampire Diaries" fandom, know exactly what I'm talking about. What is this "Humanity Switch"? Basically, according to Damon, you can flip your humanity on and off as and when you wish to.  Switching it off lets a vampire detach his/her actions from any emotional judgment or guilt. This is the excuse these creatures have for killing ruthlessly and actually consuming a nutritious diet of blood, blood and just blood. Can we do it? Depends... Upon whether you really want to, whether you have the will to flip it off or whether the situation demands such a thing of you. You may have seen... Some people are able to keep a check on their emotions for a certain time and then simply break down once they are ready to.  Of course, this isn't a healthy way of dealing with problems...but then

How Does a Writer's Block feel?

Nobody really realizes, until it hits them and there's nowhere left to run. It starts with the boredom. When the thought of compiling another set of words into a paragraph or prose section that makes sense begins to seem like a huge task, or when you simply cannot make sense of all the words that are flashing through your head. So fast, that you feel like reaching out and grabbing one, just so you could read it and take comfort in the feeling that you know it, but the horror strikes when you realize you don't really want to. For the longest time, I tried to deny the feeling of being bored and burdened by the thought of my own words. I'd sit to write because a thought crossed my mind and I knew if I wrote it down, I'd get to keep it, save it even. But the words just wouldn't come. Typing started to seem futile. So I tried to jot down everything on pen and paper. It would seem that the block doesn't discriminate between scented parchments combined w

A Journey to The East

-
To the city that doesn't change. To the city that is home, to one that calls out to you in the deepest of dreams... There's no pace here. The only one you set is the one you were meant to. When I hear songs of lost times and feelings...of days gone by and of loves I crossed paths with and nights without, it is you that I think of. Home. Never will you find yourself lost, for every lane leads you to your goal. Even if it is an undecided one. Abandoned mansions, overgrown parks, temples in the nooks and mosques on the highway. Of trees that live on and landmarks every Calcattan knows... There is a place in the east that many know of and very few have lived with. You see Kolkata isn't a place you live in. It becomes one with you and yourself. There is no end to the many lanes you lost yourself in while searching for others. The search never ends and therefore no hope is lost. Every turn is a source of excitement and yet the familiarity sets in. There is a pattern to it
