Coffee Bean 25: Cafe ---> Pavya ---> Music


With all the bull **** stuff happening in Leo’s life, I felt there is no point giving him a **** now. So lets look at a very important character in Chennai who is deeply by some k means clustering related to Leo.
She is the most beautiful “so called” ( beauty is in the eyes of the “coffee” holder) … typical high maintenance girl with high fashion sense and jill mill accessories , typical “seeable , sightable “ gal for any local or NRO NRI guys. As you expect , she is from an AS type ( “Ananya Swaminathan “) family. With a useless younger brother ( lets not mark him useless…We will try to make him a significant character in future by referring back like “How I met your amma”) . One fine day , as expected a streak of thought crosses this gal’s mind…oops I haven’t told her name…She is “Pavya” (Romba kashta pattu I chose a hybrid name sounding like Kavya…if u have this name…don’t hit me with a coffee mug...) She wants to discuss this idea that stuck her mind with her friends … So she decides to go to a coffee pub “Starbucks near Besant Nagar Beach”. Her friends sit there by a round table and starts discussing important topics like…”Did tht guy call u? No yaa…”
So…finally Pavya interferes and lets her thought float around on the table. By the time, people could digest the very fact tht the thought had struck her, it will be time for Pavya’s guitar classes and she leaves.
Now, Pavya is very sincere for her guitar classes as the instructor “Vishwa” is so cool , enterprising and makes every class “INTERESTING….” Now Lets solve the variables… Pavya is Leo’s cousin i.e Leo’s aunt’s daughter. Leo’s childhood crush and Leo’s partner in crime for stealing vadai before “neivedhiyam” It’s a big deal..Believe me…

Coffee Bean 24 : Leo is predicting Tornado


Leo is kind of confused about telling kavya, coz, he is worried if he tells her, he might lose her. But if he tells her, he has to be sure of keeping that relationship intact. Though, it feels good thinking about her. Leo feels like he is stuck in a cloud which is moving all around the vast world searching for it's soul mate. Once the cloud meets it's soul mate, it starts oscillating between the reality "as is" and "to be" and gets into the viscious circle of confusion. When it makes it's mind to open up, it ends up crying or moves away light with life . Once the winds are strong, souls might collide. As this happens,a tornado might strike, as the impact of un-reciprocated love takes the form of a tornado, swirls,dashes and destroys everything around it and life is disrupted, all of a sudden and becomes dark,windy and directionless with all signals pointing to a deep depression until the effect subsides ...

Coffee Bean 23: Drink while its hot!


Lets rewind a little backwards from airport. Leo oreh pheelingsla..doing packing at his house…sitting at home and wondering about something. Sometimes , we all do this “Wondering” thing … Looking at something…with no reason, knowing we are wasting time, but don’t know why we do tht…but “this feels good “ syndrome kind of…we will think of someone , something and oreh pheelingsaaa kottum , but we know we r stupid , but we cant avoid this. Most of us do it with a book or coffee…So tht, people can get very little or nothing from what is going on within us…
Hope you get the KOZHAPAM situation I am trying to explain here … Leo is in this confusion phase. Leo’s mom has given him a filter coffee tumbler with dabara…(P.S Dabara is a half cut cylindrical shaped container that holds the tumbler in South India). Leo is stuck in this WONDERNG syndrome…he sees the coffee and starts wondering….

"Tere liye hi jiya main
Khud ko jo yun de diya hai
Teri wafa ne mujhko sambhala
Saare ghamon ko dil se nikala
Tere saath mera hai naseeb juda
Tujhe paake adhoora naa raha hmm....."

Ennada Leo Hindi paatu think panraanenu u r thinking??? Don’t worry… I will explain how this happened. Yesterday night Leo ate Roti with his north indian friend at a dhaba…Dhaba created some weird kind of state change in his body(stomach problem) that he started thinking in HINDI… thts why..

This is for those friends who have hindi deficiency like me …Plz don’t ask me for meaning…SSshhhh Secret ennana…Naane engedho indha lines sutturken..Try and guess from whr??? : )

Fine…So Leo feels bad abt the coffee and thinks why he is gonna miss all these and why he has made up his mind for US. In the mean time..subconsciously we should map coffee to someone…Ok Va
Leo thinks he is leaving behind his life , love and everything… How is he going to leave the awesome relationship he has made with filter coffee and go behind LATTE, CAPPACHINO , MOCHA… How is it fair to leave India without his love!

"Tere liye har roz hain jeete
Tujh ko diyaa meraa waqt sabhi
Koi lamhaa meraa naa ho tere binaa
Har saans pe naam teraa"

In the mean time, he hears a voice from Arijit Singh…”Dei Leo…It’s a been long since I finished the song!!!..” Kaaapi kudida dei”!!!
The moment he tries to come back to normal state, he somehow makes some stupid hand movement and the filter coffee tumbler topples and the coffee gets spilled…
Moral of the story is …”Its ok to be confused about WONDERING syndrome…but by the time we come back to reality …REALITY is gone and moves on leaving us back! “ Leo realizes this and decides to talk to Kaavya directly instead of thinking too much .He calls her… Caller tune goes on like

“Kaisi teri khudgarzi
Lab namak rame naa misree
Kaisi teri khudgarzi
Tujhe preet purani bisri..”

Let the meet be aside.  Next day comes ,alarm bangs.  Leo gets up early at 9 am and realises he s late for office...so Leo uses deo. (uhabaha.  Ungaluku siripu varlena.  Naanavadhu sirichikaren.

Waste fellow.  Loosu Maari dress pannitu. Leo goes for office....

He has already missed the office cab and he struggles , swims , in Bangalore traffic and reaches office.he takes the lift to 10th floor. Appo oru hr ( konjam styleaa irundhaanga). Leo as usual Baaaaaa nu seeing.  (i mean full mouth open panni seeing )  matter ennana  Leo and his deo became waste now. 

After all this avamaaanams , he reaches his cube and logs in. He finds that ayyyya( here Leo) has missed his team meeting. And 1:1 with mgr.  his mgr s very decent guy. He not talking , only uyir taking during code reviews and breath taking during appraisals.  Leo s tensed up and feels guilty abt all this.

Yaarum namba  Leo oru waste fellow apdinu ....should not guess so soon in this episode. That's why.

Coffee Bean 20: Rebootingg..............

On a fine saturday afternoon , Leo finds that Leo Kaapi is over in his kitchen and wants to drink Coffee. Ipdi oru situationla usual , in any story , Hero ll call heoine , pick her up and go to CCD (Cafe Coffee Day) , Noor rupaaiki coffee vaaangi , NOor mani neram mokkai pottu pottu ,enjoy , talk and experience the "SIT DOWNism " of CCD and wait wait till the CCD kaaaran thorathi adichifies the couple and with this avamanam , the heroine ll shout at the hero and pick up any other guy she finds at CCD or the CCD kaaran himself. But namba Hero Leo is little different , he goes to a potti shop to get coffee powder, appo , Kavya comes thr to get shikai powder. You might think , how a guy staying in a remote house in a remote place called Koramangala in Bangalore goes to the same potti kadai as the heroine Kavya who stays in the getthu hostels of Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Idhuku thaan idhuku thaaan ,logic research s banned in south indian stories ;) Going with the illogical situation of Leo's Coffee and Kavya's Shikai...... "Kannum Kannum nokkia...Nee kadhai eludhinaal mokkaiya..". Apdinu , manasu kulle...i mean inside ur heart , you should not scold me...mee paavaaam i writing stories after long time...so am just checking if the vehicle is in right condition... Ok...Coming back to reality , Leo calls Kaavya..."Hey nee busyaa???" Both the vetti guys know the other one is vetti...irundhaaalum ...decency maintain panradhukaaga...they r checking aaaam... Kaavya "...Lightaaaaa busy...irundhaaalum..its okay..tell me " Kavya gives a light smile...light blush ... waits for friends to ottify her...and sees if somebody s watching her...since nobody noticed her ... (indha maari ethini per sutharaanga...cha) She came outside her room ... and started walking in the verandah... lobby... "For all these specific actions...she has just spoken..the first sentence" Kavya ...happens to listen to an ad..."I wannabbeeeeeeeeee...oooooo...oooo.oooo...ooooo" ;) Then Kavya ...after doing all the bavlaaas, scene, gethu showing , accepts Leo's invite and decides to go to some hang out place... Kavya" Leo.. hey i have an assignment to complete tom...so...i got to return ASAP...i am not gonna dress up specially for you...i ll come in casuals as i am " apdinu...sollinde..kaavya started digging up her wardrobe ...to select her best dress..., make over began... Leo hung up... Now you know how much time it takes... Lets come back by the time, Kaaavya finishes her make over and comes to the hang out place...
