A Whiff From Nature, On My Vacation...

It is not very often in life, that you get a chance to Inspire someone.

It is not very often in life, that you look for Inspiration, as well.

~~~

And, when those opportune moments strike...

You mustn't let them go!

~~~

So, when the kind folks at Godrej Aer looked up to us, IndiBloggers...

For inspiration to crowd - source their fragrances...

While focusing on an 'Evocative Travel Experience' from our side...

It took me, just a second, to be transported back in time...

~~~

To the Winter of 2013...

That we'd spent in the Charming Hills Of Coorg...

~~~

We'd spent two days in this scenic place in Karnataka, as a part of our week long vacation covering Bangalore, Mysore & Coorg...

And, those were the best two days...

Not only because we'd gotten relief from the comparatively hot and humid Bangalore and Mysore...

But, because, while at Coorg...

We were nestled in the midst of...

Coffee Plantations.

~~~

Yes, you read that right...

~~~

Our lodging, being very true to its name...

Had been developed midst a Coffee Estate!

~~~

We were surrounded by Coffee Plantations, all around us...

For 25th & 26th December 2013.

~~~

Very true to its name, our Homestay...

Serene Woods...

Was far from the City Life of Madikeri...

Yet, a small town, in itself, with all of us, guests... :)

~~~

And, It Is This Caffeine Rush...

Which Is The Essence...

Of My Evocative Travel Experience...

~~~

And, for the next two days at the Estate...

We were not only Sipping...

Our Cuppa Coorgi Coffee...

But also...

Seeing...

Admiring...

And Smelling...

Caffeine...

~~~

For the next two days at the Estate...

Coorg...

Became synonymous with...

Coffee...

~~~

And, for a person who has been pursuing Biology...

First, as a Student...

And, then, as a Career...

~~~

Serene Woods was a Heaven for me...

It was an Ambrosial Delight...

To capture the rejuvenation...

And, the energizing effect of Caffeine...

Not by drinking my favorite brewed beverage...

But, by taking a whiff of it...

As a gift from Nature...

~~~

Because, for me...

If it's Coffee...

It's NOT...

Love At First Sight...

But...

Love At First Scent! :D

~~~

It was a delight to discover for the sheer pleasure of being amazed by Nature...

That, the Brown Coffee Bean, we encounter in Metro cities...

Is not Brown...

~~~

It is White, in the First place!

The Majestic Blooms...
Of The Coffee Bean...
A Characteristic Aroma Of Their Own...

And, Green in the Second...

The Bunch Of Greens...
Among The Whites...

It is only in the Third and final phase...

Of its Cultivation...

That, The Brown Coffee Bean...

Is Extracted From Its Ripe Red Seed...

The Brown Brew...
Comes From The Red Rubies! :)

~~~

The intoxication of Caffeine...

Completely Bowled Us Over...

~~~

It's Not The Estate We Returned To At Night...

It's The Warm, Welcoming Aroma Of Caffeine...

~~~

So much so, that when the time came...

I couldn't part with my Caffeine Haven...

Without having taken a memorabilia with me...

With having taken my parting Memento...

From Coorg's Signature...

Yes, That's My Dose Of Coorgi Caffeine...
Midst The Coffees Of Delhi! :)

~~~

If I have to pick one Aroma...

That lingers on with me...

From the many Nature Trails, I've undertaken, with my Daughter...

The One Which Evokes Nostalgia...

The One Which Perks Me Up...

~~~

It undoubtedly has to be...

Coorg's...

Caffeine - Coffee, The Brewed Concoction...
Offering A Valued Odoriferous Connection...
Filling Aroma Tingles My Olfactory Nerves!
Flavorful, For Mentions, Which It Deserves!
Enthralling Are Those Intoxication & Touch!
Excites Me, An Existence, As Aer, Oh Much!

~~~

And If That Ambrosial Aroma...

Gets Picked By Godrej Aer...

As An Inspiration...

It'll Then Become...

Godly Rejuvenated Aer! :)
