This Sunday turned out to be different for me... As usual the day starts by 2pm and followed by the things I am supposed to do... I have scheduled my day to get together with one of my friend, Puffy (that is what I call him) to discuss in deep to finalise some future plans.
The initial plan was to head to Coffee for sipping hot stuff, so we have decided to sit in cafe CUPPA in Indiranager, bangalore at 5pm. While, I love food and I love to eat out, it also gives me great joy if the social ambience is heart filling and energetic... and so was cafe CUPPA...
Waiter got us two menus, one for coffee/tea/snacks and the other one for HOOKAH... I have heard a lot about the varieties of nice fragrance of HOOKAH but never very fond of it. Most of my friends from college enjoy smoking hookah on a regular basis, although it was not allowed by our college (PESIT), they all enjoyed the frequent use of hookahs and tobacco. But I have never tried on my lips... So being from middle class my ritual for smoking hookah was simple & very common... So, fairly late I opted for a fantastic puff of Hookah and Mocha... My friend, puffy advised me to check out the combination of Pan Masala and Mint from the many varieties of flavour of hookah available there... I was like a freshman in CUPPA Hookah zone. I was trying this for the first time so was little worried, if it reciprocates with cough in my throat... Bezti ho jayegi!!!
After taking two to three puff of Hookah, I realised such a relaxing and soothing experience that it make me forgot my problems for a while and took me on a journey to the seventh heaven... Smoking a Water Pipe is nothing like smoking a cigarette... I felt that Cigarettes are for competitive people and peoples on the run but Hookah ROCKS... It teaches you to keep patience and tolerance... The smoke is noticeable cooler than cigarette smoke and lightly intoxicating but above all I love its fragrances..... waooooooohhh .... We were all sitting and listening to songs like pink Floyd & Delhi-6 and enjoying our smoke... Every 20 minutes you had to change bowls and coals and tobacco to keep the roar of the smoke crowded... Before long, the water begins to turn brown and bit hotter too... I guess tobacco and nicotine really does calm the nerves. Plus if you get enough nicotine it will make you start to spin... thats what happened when 3 hours has gone...
I love the taste and the conversation that hookahs inspired me. Now you may be saying to yourself that I am no better than a junkie or any other kind of addict. Well I can tell you that I do like smoking sometime but I am not addict of anything than making love (hahaha just kidding)... Now a days, I felt smoking hookahs is a widely accepted thing in our cultures and you will be shocked to know that it is the most traditional discover of INDIA...
But, I viewed as means that lead to the complete relaxation of mind and body...
Until next time, Happy Smoking!!!
im a cigarette smoker, and when i found out about hookahs i had to ask many questions. I found out that hookahs contain no nicotine and are from man made tobacco. my question is, if is man made, and has no nicotine, then it has no physical effect. The feel good feeling is totally mental. And may i add, i loved it too.
ReplyDeletehi Mariliza...Nice to see you here...There is myth that hookah contains no nicotine. It happen so that 90% of its nicotine gets filtered in cold water itself.. But the amount of smoke we inhale and the time for which we keep it in, is pretty large compare to cigarette, and that works in spinning your head for a while...Its not just mental..
