To coffee or not to coffee

Till three to four months back, i was a big big time coffee addict. I would drink any number of coffees a day, and if the first morning coffee turned out bad i used to get dejected that it is a bad sign for the day. I used to think 'Coffee, curd rice and carnatic' are the three big favorite C's of which i would never get bored in life.

Then came this day when i felt ashamed of my fevicol attachment to coffee. And i made this bold move that i would stop drinking coffee for a while. It was more to do with controlling my senses and desires (big phrase!! No, no i did not sit under the bodhi tree.) I can also blame it on some Suki sivam's essay i read which linked worries to expectations on people and loved ones. But dont know how i ended up linking my worries to coffee.

It was more of a challenge to stick to my this decision and people at home used to ask me twice (more in the 'Come on! Dont show off' tone) if i really did not want to drink coffee. Sometimes it was more a question of ego.
It is just too tough to resist the temptation when the coffee foam smiles at you.

Thankfully, during this time i started drinking Organic India's Tulsi Tea . I started liking it, and i can see that my health is improving. My immunity used to be very low previously and i used to get sneezing problems as soon as i get up in the morning. So, thanks to Suki sivam, i gave up coffee totally!! And i stopped missing it gradually.

I am feeling very accomplished that i was able to overcome my attachment to coffee.

Now the problem is... I tried to drink coffee a few days back, and yaackk! I hated it.
Something which was too close to my heart a few months back!!! How can i hate it??

Is everything 'Maya' as my brother says??
Talking of maya and him reminds me of his wedding. Yes! He is getting trapped and wrapped in the world of Maya on June 10th. :)
