The Coffee!

A lazy Sunday afternoon and loads of movies to watch one after the other. That's how my Sunday's are spent usually. A few weeks back, while watching one of my favourite movies, a craving for a cup of "strong n hot" coffee encircled me. I paused the movie, walked up to the kitchen and started preparing a coffee which I wanted with all my heart. I put in all the ingredients and within minutes, the steaming coffee was in front of my eyes. My eyes sparkled with its look. It looked yummy! Anyway, I poured it in my favourite coffee mug and went to my bedroom to resume watching the movie. I took the first sip, and the coffee tasted bitter and also burnt my tongue. I didn't like it. But that is what I wanted, a cup of "strong n hot" coffee. So, why I was not liking it when I had it in front of me? What was bothering me? Suppose the cup of coffee is our wishes which we want to get fulfilled. We want so many things in life, but at times when we get it, though it looks desirable at first,  we do not like it any more! Strange, ain't it? But it happens, it happens with me, it happens with you, it happens with everyone else! So, what is actually the reason behind it? If we like our lives to be "strong n hot", why do we find it "bitter n burning" when we have it? Sigh! The answer is yet unknown!

  1. "strong n hot" is our life desired view , when deliverables change , rather not match with our "strong n hot recipe of life" it becomes bitter n burning ; so ingredients should be flexible to spice up the strong n hot recipe i.e life
