Pafupifupi tsiku lililonse, ndinkapita naye ku CCD, kucheza, kumwa khofi, komanso kumudziwa bwino. Palibe chonga khofi wabwino komanso kukambirana bwino komwe kumalimbikitsa chikondi muubwenzi!

Kodi ukwati ndi chiyani popanda zosangalatsa, sichoncho? Chabwino, chochititsa chidwi ndi chakuti monga mwamuna wanga anali ndi mwayi wopeza mawu achinsinsi anga, usiku wina wabwino pamene anapita ku CCD yekha, ndipo analembera maimelo kwa anzanga (kuphatikizapo okondedwa wanga wakale) kuwauza za momwe moyo wanga waukwati ulili wokongola komanso wosangalatsa komanso momwe mwamuna wanga alili wabwino komanso wachikondi.

CCD nthawi zonse ikhala mbali ya nkhani zaukwati wathu

Ukwati uliwonse uli ndi nkhani zake zogwirika komanso zosagwira. Zowoneka zimabwera ndi gawo lawo la nkhani, kukumbukira chisangalalo, kulimbana ndi mgwirizano.

Nkhani zowoneka za makolo anga zidazungulira wailesi ya Philips yomwe adagula mu Julayi, 1969 kuti amvetsere nkhani ya Neil Armstrong akuyenda mwezi, kapena TV ya Konark yomwe adagula koyambirira kwa 1985 patangotha ​​​​miyezi ingapo Rajiv Gandhi adakhala nduna yayikulu kwambiri m'dzikolo kapena masala owoneka bwino omwe adagawana nawo m'malo odyera osagwirizana ndi Madras.

Kwa iwo, Philips, Alwyn kapena Konark sanali ma brand, anali ochulukirapo kuposa pamenepo. Mitundu iyi imayimira moyo wawo womwe amagawana nawo ngati banja lachinyamata lomwe likukonzekera ulendo wawo ndi zomwe ali nazo.

Nkhani za imfa ya VG Siddhartha zikafika, ndimayang'ana mmbuyo ku Café Coffee Day ndikumva khofi ndi chikondi, komanso matsenga omwe adawonjezera pa ubale wanga. Malo ogulitsiramo mu Brigade Road omwe tinkakonda kuyendera ngati banja laling'ono kulibenso (Inatseka shopu mu Epulo chaka chino). Pambuyo pa zaka 20 za m’banja langa, masiku aja amene ndinkakhala ku CCD, Brigade Road ndikukhalabe osangalala.

Sindinakumanepo ndi a VG Siddhartha ndipo komabe, mwa njira zachilendo, imfa yake imabweretsa malingaliro otayika komanso opweteka. Monga moyo, zokumbukira zogwirika zimakhalanso za sepia-toned. Koma palinso zamatsenga mwa izo.

Khofi sanalawepo bwino. Pamwamba pa zonsezi, Siddhartha adatipatsa kukoma kwa tanthauzo la kukhala ndi khofi kuchokera ku nyemba zobiriwira zomwe zimabzalidwa kunyumba. Chimenecho chidzakhala cholowa chake chamtengo wapatali. Pankhani yanga ndekha, ogwira ntchito omwe amamwa khofi mwachikondi ku CCD, adapangitsa kuti ukwati wanga ndi mwamuna wanga ukhale wapadera kwambiri.

Zikomo, Siddhartha… chifukwa cha zikumbukiro zabwino zonse zomwe tidapanga m'masiku athu oyambilira a khofi ndi ukwati titakhala momasuka pa Tsiku lanu la Café Coffee. Chikondi chochuluka chinachitika pa khofi. Ndipo chikondi chikupitiriza kukula.
