Coffee time across Geographies


A lot of my friends tell that office life is boring and hectic.
But I feel otherwise often. Although I eagerly wait for weekends, I do enjoy being at office, meeting new people, understanding different cultures, learning new stuff and of course chatting at coffee table.

Coffee tables are the best places to meet new joinees, have an informal chat about anything under the sun 
I always had a group of friends to enjoy my cup of tea with all office updates at usually 10.00 am and 3:30pm on most days.(@Bangalore office)

I had made a group on Skype messenger named "Coffee Friends" so that I can ping my friends just before I go for coffee.

It feels refreshed to talk to a friend about how your day was both at home and work.

Its feels good to kick start your day with a cup of coffee in office cafeteria.

Although a chaotic place with varieties of breakfast, a lot of noise, different flavors of coffee, tea to cater to many moods of people, a feel good factor always comes in.

Happiness or sadness, anger or frustration -> everything dissolves with a hot cup of Tea/Coffee :)


In USA, its usual to see that colleagues exclusively do not dedicate their time for coffee.
Most coffee/tea are sipped along the Hallway or at desks glued to their monitors.

Although it’s a lot more productive to have coffee/ breakfast/lunch at desk, somewhere the people connection is missing.

A Moment to share your laughter at work, A moment discuss your issues at work may now seem distant.

Within the same organization, how people sip their coffee/tea varies across geographies.

Although my logical mind tells me to be more productive, my emotional mind tells me to ping my friends


"Shall we go for Coffee?"
