Whether it's the "swalpa strong maadi" dialog to the Chalukya restaurant waiter, or the "double shot" to the starbucks' barista, we're trying to convey the same msg. Which is basically pleading with them not to screw-up that cup of joe that u sooo look forward to. <br />I'm a junkie when it comes to good home filter coffee, and I married a malnad coffee planter, yes, I did (well, not just for the coffee)! But as it turns out, we're spending our time across the Atlantic very far away from malnad :( But I treasure that home grown, freshly roasted/powder chicory-coffee combo like its a pot of gold. <br />I get that sometimes we make a big deal about not finding 'good coffee' but that is because we have experienced that crossover moment. Coffee like all other addictions, is an acquired (taste). So when u have that enlightening moment, when the taste buds on your tongue giddy up & start dancing, u too, like your wife, shall request/plead with the cafe staff not to mess with your cuppa kapi! :)Tanmayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419758949471190990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2460565103147391578.post-78311627024440823912011-08-29T16:18:51.074+05:302011-08-29T16:18:51.074+05:30Yes Narendra for gods sake it is Udupi not Udipi.....Yes Narendra for gods sake it is Udupi not Udipi...:( didn't your missus correct you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2460565103147391578.post-42823250915097668822011-08-27T15:27:31.320+05:302011-08-27T15:27:31.320+05:30Totally, totally, totally agree with your missus. ...Totally, totally, totally agree with your missus.
