My caffeinated journey!

I urge you all to join me on a caffeine fueled journey through the years of my time in middle and high school, when coffee became more than just a beverage I had occasionally. It significantly influenced in shaping my experience in school from late night study sessions to creating lifelong friendships.

I was in the same boarding school for about 8-9 years and it eventually became a home and memory that will be engraved in my heart forever. At first the taste of coffee, truthfully, never really appealed to me. I tried my first cup of a properly brewed coffee when our exams were nearing and all of us were in need of something that would get us through the late night study sessions; of course coffee! I still remember vividly as I took the first sip with a hint of uncertainty, cause my batchmates were hellbent on making me taste their handmade coffee, and a new world opened before me. The coffee's warm embrace reassured me that I could feel safe even in unfamiliar surroundings and people. At that time I did not know that this pleasant encounter would mark the beginning of a long lasting relationship with this beverage.

As the studies intensified slowly as we moved up the classes, the late night study sessions became a norm. The study tables in the common room became our sanctuary during those long hours of rigorous preparation especially during our 10th and 12th board examination. Coffee eventually became an essential ally in handling the difficult course material and staying awake during those never ending study marathons. My friends and I would gather in a corner with our cups filled with steaming coffee along with textbooks and notes. With each sip, we encouraged one another, exchanged study tips, and quizzed one another on challenging topics. As we made through this academic pressure together, coffee not only helped us focus on our studies better but also strengthened our friendships.

That hot cup of coffee not only became our academic companion but also created the ideal atmosphere for heartfelt conversations. We talked openly about our aspirations, fears, and dreams for the future with each other. It served as a magical medium, dissolving barriers along with fostering unity. It weaved together an array of shared experiences and close relationship which were beyond the discussion of everyday issues which, I believe, only boarding school life offer.

I am truly grateful of the part coffee played in shaping my journey as I look back on those priceless years that I spent in boarding school. It is way beyond than just an energizing drink. It is like a thread that wove together friendships and priceless memories. It was, and still is, a source of comfort during heart-to-heart conversations and late night studies. I hope the aroma of coffee would keep reminding us of the cherished moments and the lifelong friendships that defined our time together in that unforgettable chapter of our lives! I am sure everyone have their own set of memories attached to this beverage. So in the end let's all cheers to coffee and the memories it has etched in our hearts along with it!

The strange psychology behind our love for the taste of coffee!

Has anyone ever wondered why this absolutely bitter and complex beverage has won over our hearts and taste buds? Why is it so challenging for us to resist the urge for that second cup of coffee even after having our fill? This time we will explore an article that explains the intriguing psychology behind our unwavering love for the flavor of coffee and how it has eventually become a comforting habit in our daily lives. After reading this article we can see the shocking science behind our love for coffee.

Here we can see that the author is talking about how caffeine keeps enhancing our love for coffee. Caffeine actually triggers a release of fluid in our brain called 'Dopamine' which is our brain's - feel good neurotransmitter. This contributes to the pleasant feeling and the heightened alertness we experience after drinking coffee. And this is caused by the release of dopamine. This response strengthens the link between consumption of coffee and the positive feeling we get afterwards increasing the likelihood of us seeking out coffee as a source of comfort and enjoyment. The psychological aspect of this is that the sense of comfort and familiarity is evoked by just simply holding a warm cup, taking in the aromatic brew and taking the first sip. This ritualistic aspect of drinking of coffee develops the habit and makes it an integral part of our everyday life.

For generations, coffee has been a crucial part of social events, workplace and also family rituals. I believe you all would agree with me when I say that this beverage is not just a simple drink but has become a symbol of connection and shared experience. So let's embrace the pleasure of coffee while also honoring the value of mindful consumption and let each cup serve as a delightful reminder of the unique chemistry that keeps us going back for more. Cheers to the fascinating world of coffee addiction, where comfort and science blend together to create a beautiful and treasured experience for us all!

"Starting something new is tough, staying started is tougher"

Hello everyone!

I came across a heartwarming Nescafe' ad and it grasped my attention as it beautifully captured the challenges faced by the gifted cartoonist who had experienced an unexpected loss of his job. But instead of giving in to these unseen turns, he finds the courage and hope in his everyday favorite cup of coffee which helps him strengthen his resolve to start over. I am sure everyone would agree that there always comes a time in our lives where we feel like there no more hope left and everything is falling apart, but that is actually the time for us to start accepting the situations and start over! This is a story of resilience, perseverance and also the comfort that we get from a simple cup of coffee.

The story of the advertisement is about a gifted cartoonist who is living his dream of amusing people with his clever illustrations in the newspaper. Everyday while travelling back and forth from his work space, he would observe the tiny gestures people did and make a cartoon strip of it. But after getting fired from his job, his life takes an unexpected turn leaving him incredibly lost and uncertain. Nescafe becomes the cartoonist's constant friend and a source of comfort as he navigates the inner turmoil. That cup of coffee everyday comforts and inspires him, giving him the will to overcome difficulties. I think we can all relate to this to some extent! We can see his change from a dejected artist to an enthusiastic entrepreneur with Nescafé as his continuous source of inspiration. He presents his work to the world with excitement while embracing the joy of new beginnings. He makes the viewers believe that losses can become the stepping stones to success.

Here that cup of coffee does not remain just that but an emotional compass that guides him on his future journey. Nescafe tries to deliver a powerful message to its audience that 'Life may not always follow our plans, but what matters most is how we respond to challenges.'
