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..”

Coffee Bean 22: Twisters!!! Part 1

Kadhaila twist podalaam apdinu decide pannipom! Now Leo gets an admit for his MS in Washington University. Ennada Dooiingunu, IIT M la M.Tech padichu Silverman Socksla internship panra Leo ku ipdi admit kidaikudhenu ninaikareengala!!!...

Ippo presentaaa… Both of them know where they r going…but not where the other is going, So they r confused and ipdiye…yosikaraaanga!!!

Finally, Leo doesn’t know how to tell this to Kaavya and same pheeling with Kaavya… Leo mind goes to a situation where Leo is all packed up for his trip , he is standing at the compartment door of the train in the railway station waiting for Kaavya …he is looking at announcement TV and the pathway , announcement TV and pathway…OOOO cha…sorry this guy is supposed to be in the airport..unarchivasapattu …railway station solliten…Lets picture the same situation in airport… Leo is thinking

“Aval Varuvalaaaa…Aval Varuvalaaa!!!” “Naa kelambarthuku minnadi enna paathu oru vaarthai sollu…” “POOOGAAATHEY” nu…Naaa janmathuku US pakkam pomaaaten… (Ivane App pannuvaanaam..Ivane yosipaanaam… Wht a comedy!!! Ada! idhelaaam nadakudhupa worldla…) Leo is yosichifying….Konjam sondhama dialog yosichirkalaamo namba… idhu cinema dialog maaari iruko….(NAAAAN SENSE!!!)

Same time telepathically…pathetically…sympathetically…Kaavya is thinking…”Maannipaaaya…Manipaaaya….Oru naal sirithen…maru naal…veruthen….. (Ivanga periya trisha…ivanga pinnadi…Jesssi Jessinu simbu varuvaaru!… Andha Sombu( I mean Leo) …already…vetti thinking pannitu irukaaan…Lets see where this goes…)

Coffee Bean 21 : Pantry Biscuit

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. Epdi !!!) Without taking bath. ....Like these lazy boyzzz.  And picks up his Otta laptop and pinjupona  bag ( he can get new one. But he didn't. Whyyyyy.  ?????  Kayva  gifted him that bag ). 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. (nono Leo doesn't have that much sooodu choranai and all .... Thappa nenachukaaatheenga ). Light aaa   Andha situation ku oru peelings kaamikalaaamnu. Why NA. Yaarum namba  Leo oru waste fellow apdinu ....should not guess so soon in this episode. That's why. 

Now he picks up his mobile that has 1.5 % charge. And tries to call mgr to check if he can meet him.  Appo suddenly he gets an incoming call from a friend. "dei Leo. Machann. Iniki pantryla. ... oru amazing mutta biscuit vechirkaaanga da.  Quick. Kaaaali aagra minnadi poi eduthu saapduda. I got 10 da ...I had 7 of them  thought I ll keep it for u...but...my mgr pudingi thiinufied 3 da....chance se illa. Da. Super aaa irundhudhu .........(call goes on for 5 min). Charge goes down phone gets switched off.  What ll u think Leo ll feel... Very irritated and shouts at his friend telling.  "He doesn't know the serious and difficult situation of Leo..." Adhaaaan illa .... Namba alpi Leo puts his Otta mobile on charge and goes to pantry for the mutta biscott.  :). 

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...

Coffee Bean 19: Fun with intoxication

We have a new MOTTO for our Kaaaviyam....
The Roast and Post!!!

Please spread our MOTTO....all around the world...for the betterment of mankind..: )


Leo proudly joins Silverman Socks as an Intern. He is so happy about his first day at office.  A HR representative with a long hair and ravishing beauty like a L OREAL Professional model walks him through the office hallway and gets his badging done.

Like with any other BOY…Leo tries to enjoy every moment with the HR. HR then explains him about Xs , Ys and Zs about the company and gives him a book of papers and a sheet where he has to sign telling he has read all those sheets and he is DOUBLE ok with all that. With no other go…Leo without questioning the beautiful HR, signs the NDA + etc documents and gets his things done.
He then meets his manager Deepak Ramachandran, a stern , yet humble looking….Clear words(orders) yet badusha type(I mean sugar coated) …..
Deepak takes him into a dark Conference Room..and takes a seat..without bothering about Leo..
Deepak:”So what do u want me to do about u??? Give you projects to work on?? (in a sarcastic tone)”
Leo takes a seat opp to his manager..
Leo: Yes ofcourse.. you should have decided by now..
Deepak: hahaha..i like your confidence…What do you like about this office???
Leo(Innum ethuvume paakala..oru beautiful HR…oru manager..thts it…wht do I say.. HR nu sonna..)
Leo: The coffee…!!! Its good..
Deepak(Oh Man..Nee Avana???) Alright..Lets go to the pantry…you can take a coffee and then lets talk..
Leo(Cha..HRnu sollirkanumo..) (thinks like any other BOY)
After a coffee…Deepak walks into the CR room with his tablet..He projects something.Leo is clueless…
Deepak shows him 17 A2 sheets size Design Document by scrolling up and down ..right and left…etc etc..
Leo kept rolling his eyes and tries to concentrate for sometime around 5 min and then understood that he will not be able to understand..
After 1.5 hours of monologue..Deepak asks Leo..”So you got my point???”
Leo:(pointaaaa…naasamaa pochu…hmmm..ithukku andha..Advanced decision Tree prof thevala)…
Yes Deepak.. I got it.. I need to create a DBMS, a programming language, an operating system, along with chota things like drivers, IDEs, assemblers, macro processors and other innovative sw I can come up with which will add value to my career..
Deepak: hahaha ….Brilliant! u r !...
The company has arranged for a corporate party that night .Venue : a beautiful n* hotel.. (name will not be mentioned)…

Leo is all excited about the party.. He has few seniors of IITM in his team who will also join him at the party..Now you understand where I am getting into..
Night time..all set for the party..booze..DJ night..lights on…smoke all around..and ofcourse..beautiful HR...(what Leo was looking for..like any other BOY)… 
Coincidentally .. Kavya and gang – present there to celebrate their farewell party with juniors… Kavya doesn’t go for any Kaya clinic as she is naturally beautiful…
Without explaining much of unwanted stuff..i will come to the point…
Leo doesn’t drink.. But he is being compelled by his seniors and friends..Still Leo ..very strong.. After a while.. he drinks a coke which is mixed with Tequilla shots 1. Leo slowly goes weird..and drinks more..
Now things turn funny… On the other hand …Kavya also tries a little bit of wine(red or white) ..and whtever (I dunno u see) and goes weird..
Leo goes to Kavya..
Leo:“Ei..Kaaapiya..Nee IIM la padicha.. periya..ivala..enga Deepak maari varumaa..???”
Kavya:”Dei..Leo..HR kooda pesikitte irundha..nee periya kadalai paruppa???”
L:”theva illama pesaadha..unna paathappave mudivu panniten…naaa oru wastenu…”
K:”Very good…unna paatha..naa bayapaduvennu nenacha athaaan unmai....”
L:”Nee azhagaa irukkanu nenaikalai..aaana nenachiten..unmaila..”
K:”Unmai..”
L:”I think…I think…all the world should bow to ur beauty…” “Indha HR laam enna..unna maari varumaa?”
K:”U know what..u are talking nonsense ..you are not a sensible fellow..yet I like you soooo much… dunno why???”
L:”U know what..u are talking sense…I like me veryyyy much… sorry I like you veryyyyy muchhhh..But I know whyyyyy?”
K:”You are my kanavu Kaaaviyam…..
En kanavu Kaaviyamae…
En Kaapiyin Suvaiyae..
Idhayam paruppu kondu seidha Idliye..
K:”Dei nirutthu….Omopodi maari irundhutttu..murukku maari pesaadha….”
Like this, conversation goes on and on for hours together..(2hours)..
Then the moment comes…Leo falls flat at Kavya’s feet..
L: “I fell flat for you”
After difficult attempts..Kavya tries to lift Leo and make him stand steady…then Kavya falls at Leo;s feet..
K: “I fell flat for you..before you..hahaha”
Screen closes…… 
Wish you all a very Happy new Year!!! : )

Next Day..Leo calls..Kavya on his android..mobile..”Kavya..Good Morning…”
K:”Good Morning Leo..Enna matter morning phone panre..”
L:”Netthi kanavula..un kitta pesinaa mari irundhichu..ethaachum naa sonennaa”

Screen closes…… 
