Overwhelmed is an understatement of how I felt last evening!
I have quite a few posts that have backlogged which I need to post soon - a couple of Travel posts from our recent trip to cox's bazar, a coffee analysis (more like re-analysis) of "Tabaq Coffee" and a long awaited meetup (FINALLY) with some of my closest fellow hiveans! But something more important has come up, something very close to heart.
My wife and I just recently celebrated our first anniversary a few days back, literally days before the meetup yesterday actually! We met at Tabaq yesterday evening and later moved to "Robindra Shorobor" for some late snacks, which turned out to be dinner lol! While we moved, @zayedsakib and @drivingindevon disappeared for a very long period. As we waited for them at our destination and I was delved in deep conversation about the prices of BTC and HIVE with @notacinephile
The two reappeared after a while and handed us two beautifully wrapped gifts! It was unexpected, it was beautiful! I know I should say a lot more about the gesture, but words evade me at this crucial time. Everyone had chipped in for two of my most favourite things - I can't thank you guys enough. @riz611 @annabeth @sarashew @rafa-noor @r-nyn @rehan12 Sakib, Sam and Amor bhai - Thank you for making the both of us feel so special!
It is common knowledge to most of the people I interact on hive that I am a "coffee freak!" I absolutely adore coffee and I love drinking it at nice places, or just by the balcony on a windy or a rainy evening with my lovely wife! Sakib knows I am a bit picky when it comes to things I am passionate about and coffee is one of them. I am especially picky when it comes to instant coffee. There are only a select few brands I will truly like. I will drink almost anything coffee if it is served to me, but I will really like only very few brands. Davidoff is definitely one of them. I never told this to anyone, I don't know how he figured this out. But that's exactly the coffee he got!
Of course we weren't going to wait and we tried it this evening! The taste was absolutely on point - the bitterness was just enough to get the kick settled in! Even @docineffable, who usually destroys her coffee with sugar went easy of the white powder! We are planning on trying a new technique on the coffee some time this week because I don't have my espresso machine with me here at dhaka to steam the milk. We'll see how the experiment goes.
Lesser known fact is my love for perfumes! This is a hobby of mine and on hive, I think about 4 or 5 very close people knew about it up until yesterday. So the perfume that was wrapped in the other package is a very, very personal gift! And kudos to @drivingindevon for her perfume selection! Although Sakib claims he played a part in the selection, I am less inclined to believe him! I have already started wearing it from today and I will be wearing it extensively over the next few days before I write a proper, fully detailed review on it - but first impression is, I loved it! Spoiler - it goes very, very well with the rainy and windy weather like today.
I will try to get better snaps of the perfume bottle when I am ready to write the detailed review on it. For now this will have to do as I don't have electricity in my area for the last hour and I can not wait as I'll be off for my night shift in less than an hour!
