Infatuated

All it took is one look, just one smile.
I felt Jittery. Stupid. Uncoordinated. Shy.
Ah! It has definitely been a while.

Same old butterflies back in my stomach.
If only I was a naive young teenager.
But here I am; in between, not completely a grown up (either).

About few things I’m absolutely sure.
There will be no “us”.
We will not have any future.

It may sound a little insane.
But I will still enjoy every bit of it.
Because I am Infatuated. Again.

Recipe to make cold coffee

Step1: Call friends for a sleepover at your cousin’s place in Mumbai.
Step2: Make sure the AC doesn’t work.
Step 3: Also, make sure that the house is on the last floor of the building so the heat from the whole day disseminates down during the night (or something like that).
Step 4: Wait until everyone starts feeling super hot.
Step 5: Offer to make cold coffee (even though one has never attempted this daring feat).
Step 6: Bring the milk out of the fridge.
Step 7: Realise there is no sugar or coffee powder in the house.
Step 8: Buy the ingredients at a local store.
Step 9: Put all the 3 ingredients into a 500 ml EMPTY Bisleri bottle.
Step 10: Close the cap of the bottle firmly.
Step 11: I repeat, CLOSE THE CAP.
Step 12: Shake the bottle vigorously.
Step 13: If you have not closed the cap as instructed (twice), please wipe the mess and start all over again. (A handy hint: Try to clean thoroughly so cousin doesn’t suspect anything when she returns). Finally, enjoy the coffee.
