COFFEE DAY TODAY

I LOVE COFFEE
It may amaze you that why the name of my blog is "Cookies and Cold Coffee". The reason is, i like cookies but I LOVE COFFEE.


In India, tea is the main beverage of most of the population. Coffee is the beverage of mainly the southern part of India.



We are taught in economics that tea and coffee are substitute goods and when prices fluctuate, people change their preferences. But i don't think so. I don't think that tea or coffee drinkers ever change their preferences. At least i don't switch over!
Researchers have given many views on coffee- good as well as bad. One research says that if you drink a cup of coffee everyday then you can get away with certain types of cancer. Another research says that coffee stays in your digestive system for a week, which is bad.


I don't know whom to believe but i know one thing that anything in excess is bad for health. So do drink coffee but not too much of it. I drink coffee only once in a week, that's my way by which i drink coffee in moderation. I would like to suggest everyone to drink coffee in moderation, and for that matter not only coffee, but everything you consume.



Coffee can also be compared to life. Coffee is bitter and sweet at the same time just like our life which has happiness and sadness at the same time. And i think that if we don't know about the bitter things in life we may not be able to enjoy a cup of cold coffee.



I read an sms the other day "Sometimes we struggle with a tasteless coffee till the last sip and then we find sugar lying at the bottom, That's Life, Sweetened but not stirred well." This is a very nice comparison of life with coffee.



Today 29th September is International Coffee Day (also known as Coffee Day or National Coffee Day). While the exact origin of Coffee is unknown, many countries in the world participate in this event. International Coffee Day was promoted in Japan by The All Japan Coffee Association and was first celebrated in 1983. The name ' International Coffee Day' originates in the United States, which was mentioned publicly in 2005.



And i read some articles today on coffee day celebrations. In some countries, McDonald's have given free cup of coffee to its customers while some coffee shops had various discount offers, etc. on coffee. The world is rejoicing and so should we.



 I take up this opportunity to wish all of you a HAPPY COFFEE DAY! Go enjoy a cup of coffee!

Then by 12.15pm, we called all the professor's and our seniors. The aarti went on for around 15 minutes. Everyone was given a chance to hold the 'puja thali'.  After the puja, we gave prasad to everyone. The aarti went well. One of our professor's liked the aarti kept by us.

Attitude is Everything

Image
Humans have tremendous potential. We work hard and pay the price that success and happiness demand. Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential and acquire the desired result. But one thing that determines the level of our potential that produces the intensity of our activity, and that predicts the quality of our result we receive is our ATTITUDE. A child once asked the balloon vendor who was selling colourful helium balloons whether the blue coloured balloon will go high in the sky than the green coloured balloon. The balloon vendor replied, “It is not the colour of the balloon but what is inside it that makes it go high.” Attitude is a predisposition or a tendency to respond positively or negatively towards a certain idea, object, person, or situation. Attitude influences an individual's choice of action, and responses to challenges, incentives, and rewards. Attitude is simply a method by which you let others know what you feel. It’...

Anger Management

Aristotle quoted “Anybody can become angry, that is easy, but to be angry with right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose and in the right way, that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.” Anger is a normal, healthy emotion, but when chronic, explosive anger spirals out of control, it can have serious consequences for your relationships, your health, and your state of mind. Anger is a very powerful emotion that can stem from feelings of frustration, hurt, annoyance, or disappointment. Anger is also a mixture of both emotional and physical changes. Anger is like fire, it can burn you if it is not controlled. It can create disasters so it needs to be channelled productively. For e.g.- Fire when used in a controlled way aids in cooking food but uncontrolled fire may lead to destruction. Anger takes everyone in its arms. Whenever a person is angry, the people near him get angry too. Anger makes everyone a slave and a...
