Dear Coffee

On a cold winter morning, the first sip of brewed coffee that goes in me fills my senses, and antioxidants keep my cells working. A nice cold coffee does the same during summers. Honestly, without you, I probably wouldn’t survive through the day. You don’t know many times I’ve pushed the door that said Pull, on the days I miss out on having you. And you’re all my favorite, there’s no picky. Be it Café Latte, Cappucino, Madras filter coffee, Nilgiris, or Nescafe, I love you all.

And thou is the art of making a perfect coffee. That exotic aroma boosts wakefulness and gives the source of instant energy to have the stress under control. I’ll drink you in your purest form, and enjoy every sip. Once a barista told me, making a perfect coffee is a cumbersome process than installing a java servlet. I couldn’t agree more.

My mom wouldn’t let me have coffee when I was young, she’d say, Coffee is for adults, you drink Bournvita. And then I badly wanted to grow up, just so I could drink coffee as much as I want. That’s not such a good idea. I wish I was still that kid who would get through his day drinking Bournvita. I’m sorry I don’t mean to disgrace you, for I wouldn’t survive without you today. Now that I know how much Adulting sucks, you are here to help as much as possible.

And what a fascinating tale of me choosing my career over the love, Java, which again has that coffee connection. A café-dwelling motivation abide by the code sure helps a lot every day. For instance, i wouldn’t have figured out that

JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(HashMap<Long, Long>().toString())

doesn’t work, because I was trying to typecast the map to a string, then allocating to json-object, but actually, I should’ve created an instance with map directly. I was stuck on it for nearly 4 hours, for this simple change. I noticed this silly mistake while taking a sip a hot coffee.

Not just adulting, a lot of things suck, including this json typecasting, but you are here to help, or least ease the pain.

Thank you much.
