Cafe Wisdom Lounge

Yesterday, I dint want to keep it a boring day. So I called up my friend if we could break-out somewhere. Actually, I had a plan to drop-in to some pub where we can enjoy the streaming heavy rock music and fill-up ourselves with pitchers and chickens! As this idea didn't sync with my friend, she suggested a coffee shop. I never been to any coffee-shop, as I hate to sit and chit-chatting just with a coffee! (FYI: Am a gastronome!) But just for a company-sake I agreed.

I went to her place, picked her up and started to the so called coffee-shop where she had never been even. Its in 4th block of Koramangala, Bangalore a sign-board reads "Cafe Wisdom Lounge". As we entered the porch, we thought its someone's home and we may need to go upstairs. And there appeared a man (Jaspal) invited us in. The atmosphere is completely weird to be a coffee-shop. But it was quite interesting. Initially I could not believe seeing people serving food with smiling face. Jaspal is running this Wisdom Cafe Lounge and here you will get all kinds of feasts. Then, we felt like we're having a dinner at our friend's home.

We were given a menu which had varieties of tea and coffee. And a list of tasty Indian-spicy food like Samosas, Pakoras, Rotis and few more. I preferred a Herbal tea and my friend liked to have a Ginger tea with pakoras. And we started discussing a serious matter [;-P] rather than chatting. I would say the taste of the tea we've offered was really really good and the hot-n-spicy pakoras gave it a nice company! Jaspal too joined us for a while, when we asked him about this idea. I was really amazed when he said that he's been running this for the past "19" months! He showed us the mini art gallery he have at home. Most of'em are his wife's work. And few artifacts by the tribal people from north Karnataka and Kanyakumari. He took us to his personal room, and I found so many interesting things can be dug from him. He's working on a book which he's almost done on Gazals.

I would highly recommend this place to have a nice peaceful time forgetting all your worries, rants, laments, tensions. Just feel like your friends' place. Its at 4th block, Koramangala. From Sony World signal towards HSR Layout, its behind a Levi's Showroom.
