Coffee Shop-What to have and where

Wednesday, August 13, 2008

For the past 3 years i have been visiting numerous coffee shops....Trying to visit one after the other....Some were bad and some were good....For me the place should have a good ambiance otherwise, however good the beverage may taste you really can't enjoy.....This is a list of places i have been.....and the best thing i liked to have in that place.....You can call them my favorites.....
The most frequently visited place is The Barista(Gn chetty road)...The sole reason is its next to my place....
These are the coffee shops in chennai,tamilnadu,india
1) The Barista
a) GN Chetty Road,T.nagar
b) Thirumallai Pillai road,T.nagar
c) Nungambakkam high road,opp espahani.(amongst all the barista....the way they make the beverage is diff and good)
d)Near Ethiraj College

The best things you can find in Barista is:

  • Hot chocolate-when the weather gets cold here.....that drink is the best.....
  • Water Melon Sparkle-a drink which has a pink watermelon concentration and then soda to it.....its quite thirst quenching during the summers....the drink as such has a nice pink transparent colour....
  • Apple Cake-If you are hungry and still don't want to spend much,you can go in for an apple cake.....its really nice.....you can add in caramel sauce or chocolate sauce.....just melts in your mouth...
  • Dark Temptation-If you are the type who does not mind spending and want a rich thing to eat....I should tell you,the dark temptation can beat any dessert in the world....It has a chocolate cake with hot chocolate sauce over it....next to it you can find a scoop of ice cream and a scoop of fresh cream....This is an Absolute mouth watering dish.......
2)Qwickys
opp satyam theatre

I visit this place only when i am early for a movie in satyam....not knowing where to go,i usually land up there.....its an ok place though really fond of it.....
  • Blue Carico-This is a drink which has loads of crushed ice in it.....so again quite nice to have when it gets hot....its good only if its diluted.....However its bad if its too concentrated... anyways its a time pass drink till the movie in satyam starts..
3)Cafe Coffee Day
Royapettah,near dav girls schools.

This is a nice place to visit....great ambiance....there is a sit out too....its a small place but its great....
  • Strawberry Ice Tea-I really don't like ice tea...I always find ice tea weird....I would always wonder how people can have this drink....With great hesitation i tried this drink out...Fell in love this is drink.....I like it because it doesn't taste like the usual ice tea....It has this sweet taste to it...really nice.....should try it....

Basically these are the coffee shops i have been too.......and the stuff i have tried in these places.....If anyone knows a better coffee place or a new drink or a food....let me know....It is fun to try something new....(please note:these drinks were good because they were made well...so if you try this drink out and isn't that great don't blame me...blame the guy who made the drink....or it isn't your day)

3rd day in blogging!!

You are in the right blog to know why coffee is that special drink which makes u feel you are on a date with your special him/her.

Alright lets get down to business,

You’ve recently met a person, decided that they are worth a little bit more of your time to get to know a little better, so what do you do? What is it you suggest for your first meeting (not a date yet!)
There can be no better way than a carefully planned coffee date.
Your coffee date should be for the mid-late afternoon, an hour or so after lunch, or early evening an hour or so before dinner time. The essentials being that the coffee date takes place in daylight hours and is set for 20 to 30 minutes, no longer.You appearance should be dressy casual, a nice shirt/sweater, maybe clean jeans (new-ish not tattered) or khaki pants. No 2 piece suits for the man, no dresses or skirts for the ladies, you want to be comfortable, remember, it’s just coffee, right?Prepare yourself for a long 20 minutes of chit chat and asking/answering questions. Preparation includes deciding what to ask and how you’d answer the same. Don’t worry about saying things like “Isn’t that a third date question?” instead of feeling that you need to answer everything. Try to keep the questions open ended and the other person talking. Surprisingly enough, people do like to talk about themselves more that hearing about others and you’ll easily come off a winner by letting the other person talk. Of course, this could backfire if they are “boorish” and have a self-importance personality that was not previously displayed, but at least you’ll know more about the person and it’s only 20 minutes out of your life rather than an entire evening (or heaven help us, a lifetime!)
Keep away from talking about religion, politics and environmental issues. Stick to a plan of current events, parental upbringing topics and growing up remembrances as safe topics of conversation. Be sure to read today’s newspaper to have some material to fall back on if there happens to be any silent periods or lulls in the steady flow of your conversation.Questions to get to know someone on a coffee date, such as these, are a great starting point for your conversation:
1. What would you say had the biggest influence on you when you were growing up?
2. Did both of your parents work?
3. Where did (do) you spend your summers?
4. Did you ever (do you) have pets?
5. Do you watch any TV shows regularly?
6. What’s the last movie you went out to see?
7. What type of music would I find in your CD player?
8. What’s the last book you read (or who is your favorite author)?
9. What would be your dream career?
10. What is the most modern piece of technology you own?


These open ended questions will allow for a variety of follow-up questions that will show themselves to you as your meeting continues. You will discover their personality, their worldliness and drive for possessions and travel. Any of these can be good or bad traits, depending on what you find desirable in a person.When your designated time to end the coffee date nears it is safe to either state that you really don’t have much in common, but thanks for having coffee with me, or to plan a next meeting/date in a couple of days.Your coffee date should have this type of definite end to it so there are no hard feelings and uncomfortable confrontations later.Under no circumstances should you go beyond the time you allowed for this date.Be sure that any family/friends you told about this date are notified when it ends and told how things worked out. Never go to a first date without telling someone and planning a “safe call” when it is over. Your “safe call” can be them calling you to make sure you are OK, or you calling them to say the date is over and you are going home or returning to work, whatever. This is extremely important.Meeting someone and getting to know them are two different and distinct stages of any relationship.

Wishes,
DpK.

At the outset, I would like to thank the only reader of my blog, my friend,dhilip.




OK,..Exactly a month ago i stepped into my first job.It was just such a numb feeling When i got the offer letter.I dint know for what reason i joined there and dint know why i left now.Ya, you are right i quit my job today .Here we go , my first job and my first resignation .You know what, the first fifteen days was really awesome . I never thought that the next fifteen days will drain me out so much that now i hardly seem to respond even my parents shout at their top of their voice.


The first day infact, the first night was sleepy to the core.But,after that I got used to it.Imagine in the wee hours in the morning around 3 am Grabbing a podi onion dosai .Ya,this is what i did on the sixth day which i thought was foolishness on the first day.Now i started disliking all the food items which i liked the most.




I hope i'll get back into my regular habits now.I seriously dint expect that someone will teach about DDRRAM's and SDRAM's at 2 in the morning and ask us assemble a laptop in those wee hours.Had it been in the morning or may be in the evening ..it would have been damn good.


Anyways,past is past, enough of boring you people with my doings.So,let us have a filmy look on our daily life..(this is what i'm supposed to be blogging)..


The other day i was waiting for my cab near the graveyard.It was around 11 in the night.Hey,this is not anything scary or boring , dont worry.It was surrounded by drunken men and drug addicts who consume heroin sitting on top of the grave.I was just wondering what on earth was making them to do this.Does anyone in this world gets stressed out so much that he cant live without consuming those shit.If that is to be believed ambani should have been a drug addict par imagination or for that that matter our PM must have been an hardcore drug addict for the pace at which inflation is soaring.So, please if anyone who consume drugs directly stop that !!!


I'm not here to send social messages dudes and dudettes....lol...stop taking those shits directly instead drink coffee thrice or four times a day..It has caffeine in it...The word caffeine can induce drug addicts towards coffee..Just keep it hot!...die slowly rather than dying instantly!
