Cold Coffee

The most miraculous thing on a hot summer day, is a nice cup of frothy cold coffee. It has it's variants, simple cold coffee, cold coffee with ice cream, with extra chocolate sauce, with grated chocolate etc.

But, to me cold coffee has always been about memories. Memories which date back from childhood. I think my first encounter with cold coffee would be on one hot summer day, back after a rigorous swim, when my mom thought I was big enough to taste coffee, that I was offered a huge mug of this cold, refreshing, relaxant. And since then I've been a fan.

Then once in college, the definition of cold coffee changed to something that'd help you survive the lectures and of course offer an opportunity to huddle up with your friends in a group and talk about everything under the sun.

Once, I became a professional the same cold coffee meant those short meetings I could manage with my friends owing to our busy schedules, where once in a while we would catch up to know what was happening in each others lives. And not to forget the venues of the cold coffee joints had also changed. From home to college canteen to now the very famous cafes that claim to be the hottest hangout joints. Yes, you got it right, Cafe Coffee Day and Barista.

But, with each cup that I down, I know I am building yet another memory, somewhere, to be recollected later at some point of time and cherished. I know it would bring back a smile on my face, with the froth still lingering on my lips and wait till I lick it all off my lips.
