After creating this blog it took me a few years to begin
writing posts here. I simply didn't know what to write. I couldn't be an open
book and pour out my heart on everything that had happened to me or was happening to me. I'm
a private person on certain levels...have always been one.
I'm not a fashionista…and blogging about fashion would have meant a raid by the fashion police at my door every hour. My love for cooking too didn't mean that I would keep cooking and share recipes or food stories, too lazy for that.
Blogging about gadgets and gizmos would have meant inventing
new definitions of the craft which might have given the fandom of Apple and
Samsung and others severe attacks of acidity, and their wrath upon me.
The blog wasn't going to be my personal journal that was for sure…so what else I could log in here I had mused.
Books...movies…random stuff…and occasional food or fashion related tidbits?...Yes!
But how or where do I begin was a big question and the BIGGER question was- what would I call it?
Following too much of contemplation and deep meditation for like thousand years, "CoffeeBeans" was coined.
I like the name…I like the sound of it...and the reminder of the aroma of coffee energizes my thought process. But…there is always a 'but', isn't there? But…I sometimes wonder if some other name might have been right for my blog. A jazzy or a funky name that's savvy enough to grab everyone's attention...or an elegant, lady-like name that smells of etiquette from far away...or perhaps a geeky bong name that stirs the intellectual cells of the brains.

However, whatever name I might have chosen would definitely not have generated the kind of emails that I receive asking me if I would like to discuss or join their coffee grinding skills, or which coffee beans are of superior quality and some such.
Apparently these people strongly believe my blog to be a small scale industry dealing with coffee grinding, and that I'm
some coffee maker trying to make it big in the big bad world of beverages. their
R&D sucks My blog name confused them…I misled them. This post too will surely mislead them I know and their emails will keep gracing my inbox.
Meanwhile CoffeeBeans remains as it is; the name, the content…And
the inbox stays open for all as usual.
If I'm a Coffee-Bean plant owner to you better
think I'm the best, the one and the only, the ultimate, the unparalleled, the queen bee of the coffee industry. I won't accept anything lesser. Period.Signing off for now as my coffee (made from ek rupaye wala Bru sachet) is getting cold.
Who knows, Nescafe might contact you soon :-D
ReplyDeleteI hope they offer me free coffee and really fancy looking mugs.
