You are short. You are tall. You are slim. You are healthy. You are fair. You are dark. You're proud. You're humble. You're nice. You're evil.

“Good Coffee”
I checked the time in my phone for the third time. 4:50pm. Exactly ten minutes had passed since the time I ordered my cappuccino. I have this habit of counting the time it takes the minute I place my order to the minute I receive the same. From what I’ve learnt, it varies from place…

A Manifestation
