There's something about the atmosphere of a cafe that makes life seem more romantic.
Stories and people mingle in ways that I can never foresee. For someone who loves people and surprises, I love being there.
There's a graduate student in the corner from Eritrea. He's working on a
paper, but comes over to join us. We talk about running and soccer and
being together and alone and philosophy and coffee. Always coffee.
Here's another, from Pakistan actually. He was pretty surprised that we
were Indians not born in India. We spoke. About photography and vodka
and people and physics and coffee.
All the while, I nursed my cup of tea.
Life's a journey, and I love exploring. I believe we should live well, love much and laugh often. Twende!
