Coffee, Smokes and Laughs

Hello Coffee, Smokes and Laughs lovers. Now, this has been really long time I wrote something on this blog. Not that I am busy or handling too many pressures, but honestly friends I did not want to write just for few page visits. Moreover, I am averse to the idea of writing simply for the heck of writing. It has been a solid 6 months I have shared my last post. So what I have been doing these 6 months is truly very interesting. I have been learning some interesting aspects of writing, visualizing things around and exercise them into words. Ahem! Not to forget, I have been working too during these 6 months with a little more work load that often makes me think when I will work on something that is actually sensible and rational. Need I say more about the how few irrational activities happen at work? So friends, with this entire roller coaster ride at work and life, I happened to reinvent my mind once again with lots of fun, energized activeness and what more, with lots of pe...

‘Busy lives’ and ‘hectic work’ schedules have become stale phrases. Ahem! Wondering why I am using these? It’s simple folks. I am away from my favourite blog for around 8-10 months due to my bread winning efforts. Sounds very filmy right? However, I realized I could never disassociate from kissing my blog regularly. Moving ahead of these Kiss and Run talks, just as an effort to clarify, if you are thinking that I am holidaying somewhere in Milan or Rome during this sabbatical, let me clarify you, I couldn’t even go to Manali during this time! Come to think of it, with too many hurdles like EMIs, Credit Cards, extensive traveling and bosses at work, it is a great deal to go to Madina in Hyderabad at least for a typical Irani Chai. By the way, I discovered few grey hair strands, so let me try to do some wise talking. My life during these months made me identify myself with an audio cassette, which we used during those good ol’ times.   (Image Courtesy: Google Images) ...

Guess you are doing well? It has really been very long time I shared my thoughts and ideas in this space. I guess I have few good reasons for going off the radar and hibernating for a bit. My new born kid has managed to take my fullest attention and has oftentimes left me with no choice of thoughts and ideas. Also, this new phase in life has helped me to discover about myself along with few other interesting aspects like what it means to think for future and what best I can give to my son. In this process of pondering over numerous thoughts and ideas, I was simply surprised to know the beautiful aspects of life.                                         (Image Courtesy: Google Images) A simple into the kid’s face, despite not looking at me, made me wonder about the beautiful and best things that can happen to a human being. I was speechless, when I took him into my hands for...

Hello Coffee, Smokes and Laughs lovers! Been really long time I stopped by this blog and posted few ideas, opinions and beliefs. My sincere apologies to all my readers for disappearing from this interesting space for a long time, but let me tell you friends, I was surrounded by few exciting things in life that kept me away from this blog for a while. On the flipside, I believe that too many posts would make my readers get bored of this blog, as it becomes more mechanical in writing and engaging. Sounds a typical dotcom business rite? So, keeping these views in mind, I took a pause from writing. Anyway, now talking about those interesting things, I’ve found a new love of my life. The new found love is the baby boy that my wife and I have been blessed with. The new born baby made me realize that I’ve become old enough to stop my ways of living and make it a better and meaningful life.                       ...

Hello to all the lovers of Coffee, Smokes and Laughs. I guess with this pleasantry, I’ve greeted almost every reader of this blog. I am sure there wouldn’t be a single soul who wouldn’t like any of these or all of these. (Referring to my blog title) In the recent times, I am counting days – nah! Guys I am not on any death bed, rather a new addition into my family is expected in the month of September. The time is truly a reason celebrate and cherish as this is the best time for an individual, at least for men.                                                       (Image Courtesy: Google Images) Men have limited experiences folks. Women have all the best memories right from conceiving and carrying the tiny little ones in thei...

Whoa!!! This was the expression on my face when I finally experienced the first rains of this monsoon. The monsoon this year had all possible traits that a brawny villain has in the movies. Firstly, the dark clouds that hugged the blue sky so tightly, I literally felt it were somewhere around 2.00 am while it was already 8.30 am. Man, I cozily dunked myself in the quilts and was lost in few good dreams and suddenly I hear a thunderous noise, which was my cell phone alarm. I cursed myself for promptly setting up the alarm for obvious reasons; the nasty gadget stole few hours of my good sleep. I soon realized that another chaotic week is yet to begin and I should be prepared to handle all the noise from all possible corners. With this heavy thought in mind and lots of sleep in eyes, I stood still and was thinking of my two choices, whether to continue to spoil myself with more sleep or enter the world of nuisance and nonsense. My heart said “Dude, get some sleep” bu...

                                            ( Image Courtesy: Google Images ) Hey friends! Really long sabbatical from Coffee, Smokes and Laughs. In fact, I am still wondering how I could keep this writing space empty for so long, as the name of the blog is so closely attached to my life. Yes friends, I burn my lungs few good number of times every day, drink at least one cuppa coffee and try to lose my weight by laughing few good number of times. Yet, I am little away from this good titled blog. (Thanks to myself for coming up with such a rejuvenating name). Anyway, lemme come out of this self-appreciation and pen up few points of what I have been doing of late. Yes, gotcha! I’ve been little busy with few good things in life like doing some really interesting wor...

                                                       (Image Courtesy: Google Images) Hey friends! Been some time I crawled back into the blog, and truly missing Coffee, Smokes and Laughs not just online, but in my everyday life too. Now it doesn’t mean that I am going through too many ordeals or hassles, but was little occupied with my work commitments. Today, I somehow decided that I should try to share few good laughs and make people a little more relaxed and rejuvenate their energy levels. One may wonder what I am up to that is making me so very busy. Actually, few friends of mine have already aske...

(Image Courtesy: Google Images) The year 2012 began with good surprises that always kept my smile widening. News by news I’ve begun to enjoy these bundles of joy with pleasant weather along with my coffee and smokes. Slowly the times began to change as the dates the in calendar ran at the pace that is almost on par with Michael Johnson, presently the retired sprinter. I have been following the same old route to my office (a stereotype guy!) which was pretty pleasant ride with an exciting combination of cool breeze and warm summers. In all this cozy and comfortable weather along with my best riding memoirs, the peace and tranquility was abundant in life. Like in movies, here comes the villain of my life (for several others as well) the summer, the entry of this summer is definitely nothing short of a gory villain in our ‘ mana’ movies. The devilish smile of this summer has already put many of us in acute problems and when it comes to m...
