It was a cold winter evening. My lonely soul was hunting for a saviour. My eyes befell on this small little sachet of happiness. Now, i am not a Starbucks guy, never really been to any cafe ever. The reason is downright simple - i could have an entire meal for the price of one coffee there. But then this one friend of mine (a would be NRI) brought me this from the US.
So, i quickly fired up the gas, boiled up milk, tore off the sachet and emptied the powder in a cup. And the moment i mixed up the milk, i was teleported into my childhood days, that smell of Bournvita in a hot boiled milk. I went ahead and took a sip. Oh my god! Those were literally the first words that popped out. No, this didn't taste like bournvita. In fact, it was nothing like any chocolate drink I ever tasted before. This is definitely not a drink for the mortal beings! Every sip is a taste of heaven.
I always judge people sitting in the Starbucks outlets, flashing their iPads and MacBooks, sitting idle for hours with nothing to do.
But I am totally a Starbucks fanboy now. In fact, I have already decided to open up a 'Starbucks savings account' wherein I would save a part of my salary every month, not just to buy coffee, but also the fancy gadgetry that would make me feel at home when I visit one of their outlets!!
