One Black Coffee Please! This is not About Ericsson Cellphone or Even Erection, But What Filter Kaapi means at Sarvana Bhavan Chennai

                The Story Starts Here, Chennai Central Station, Thursday, March 3 Rd, 2011!!!

I was  returning wth 20 of my SBOA comrades, We were travelling from Kochi to Kolkata (via Chennai Central) as we did not get a direct return ticket by Shalimar Express, the best direct train between Kochi(The Corporate Commercial Capital of Kerala, Thrissur being the trading Capital) to Kolkata and now while returning to Kolkata, From Kochi to Chennai, we had booked In Kanyakumari-Chennai Express & From Chennai, to Kolkata by Coromandel Express. Here, as soon as I got down at Chennai Central, immediately I asked the nearest Porter in Tamil."Ingey Filter Kaapi Shaap Irrukiya?" (Do we have Filter Coffee shop here?) . He Said " Kaafee Shop, Angeythaa..(there was a stretch of the end of Angeythaa..., like in they do when you say "do you know?" in english, or "Aapke ke paas paise hai?" "Yeh PSPO Nahin Jaantaaaaaaa" in Hindi )  Sarvana Bhavan Irrukai  Saar" (pointing towards the end of the platform) meaning "Look.. There is Sarvana Bhawan  towards that side, Sire."

I had had this memorable fragrant, thick and frothy Filter Coffee at Sarvana Bhavan, At Karol Bagh & Janpath..They were the branch of the main one at T-Nagar, Chennai.So I rushed and ordered a Cup. It cost me Ra15, but My Word, I could smell the fragrance of Freshly Ground Peaberry Coffee Beans in my nostrils, when my Cup was at my waist level.

Let me pause the coffee thingy for a moment,let me tell you about the purpose of my viosit first. The occassion was the 6th Triennial conference of my officers association, Syndicate Bank Officers Association (Regd) (SBOA), 6 Th Triennial Conference, Kochi.held betweeen  26-2-2011 to 28-2-2011, At Town Hall, Kochi, Kerala.Kochi is a Commercial & New IT HUB of Kerala State in India.I as the normal habit for the past 20 Years,was the Lead Speaker ,at the Plenary Delegates Session.

One of my close buddies Murali Behera said, Daru Out of Stock, So Here I was, In a new city, looking for Liquor :-),  I asked an auto driver "Daru Milega?"  It was 06:00AM!!! .He said yes, try panni nokam Saar, he knew I was a Malayali, so he started talking in a pot-pouri, of TaLayalam or Tamil mixed with Malayalam. We went to some 10 places, and we found it at a botleg, real stuff in a place, you would find last, in a Pan shop :p. He took us around and we did get, 2 half bottles of 3X Rum and a 100 Pipers. The price was 3 times, but in 10 minutes we did achieve out goal. But I had 2 other Goals, to meet Gopi, Ponnu, Nimisha and Anku, but I could not, their house was too far.
