The only regular coffeeshop in Bombay which doesn't play loud 90s pop and chikni chameli, actually makes good coffee and has a clean bathroom for the morning/noon bowel movement has shut down for a month to "renovate" the place. Why it needs renovation defies all logic- they're probably competing with the newly opened Costa Coffee across the street. Fuck Costa Coffee, it is the devil. I'll be damned if I'm ever going there. All the brand brown-nosing morons and showoffs of Chembur instantly gravitated there the day it opened, finally exorcizing Barista of their loud, inane, boorish behavior and disgusting accents- making it a fine refuge for grouchy old (young really) grumps like me to scowl at the laptop screen all day and peacefully mix whiskey in my americano without some idiot 16 year old pointing and ogling at the act. Hell, I was hoping that eventually I could start doing lines right on the table instead of sneaking into the bathroom!
But, alas...it wasn't meant to be. Man I'm so pissed off today. I've got a meeting today and have no idea where to conduct it. Like half the literate population of this city, I mooch off coffeeshops for office space (although my "business" is slightly different...to say the least). Might have to go all the way to Bandra/Juhu to some 5 star now...
