Espresso Thoughts : When Coffee and Poetry Come Together
Life is a carefully spun web of events connecting the past, present and the future. If we start living our lives with this realization, then life will not be a random series of sunsets and sunrises. Every day will become exciting like each sip of our favorite beverage. It is only when we get stuck in a painful memory of the past or refuse to be grateful for the present that we see darkness in our future. A cup of coffee awakens an individual to kick start their day by firing the cells in the brain. Words strung together in a quote, poetry or a short story can give you the same thrill as caffeine. Here are words to calm your soul, start a revolution within, mend a broken heart and inspire your weary spirits. Who cares if the cup is half empty or overflowing as long as it is a cup of coffee? Tea lovers, please replace coffee with tea.

I have read this author’s work so I was fascinated to read this one. The tagline of the book attracted me the most. It’s “When coffee and poetry come together”. It’s a short read that can be read in few hours. And the book has unique most concept. I will briefly summarise the concept. I really liked the CONNOISSEURS written by the author. Because reading that only stole my heart. Those are the words and feelings about the book that is straight from the author’s heart. Coffee or tea is not just a beverage for people, it’s a feeling and love. The book has been divided into parts. Each part is filled with writing, poetries and verses. It’s the pure emotions and feelings from author’s side.
My favourite section was “espresso shots” because they are sweet and heart touching quotes that summarise the concept and most of them we can relate to our life situations. I felt that book has been little messy as the verses and writings are overlapping each other but overall writings are good that fills the lack in that part. I liked the vocabulary and language used by the author. I got to learn few new word definitely. Majority of verses and poems are written in free styles. I liked how author has stick to core concept, related to title, and by using metaphors, she has covered wide range of topics. That was quite brilliant. It’s quick, easy and refreshing read that gives you a whole new perspective just like my favourite cold coffee. Here are my favourite lines that will give you generalise idea about the writing style.
“Don't live to impress others. You don't need that kind of pressure in life.”
“I am unpredictable, frivolous, an instant, fleeting moment; To everybody around me, I may look like a constant.”

Title : Espresso Thoughts
Author : Rakhi Kapoor
Genre : Poetry
" Espresso Thoughts : When Coffee and Poetry Come Together" is not just a collection of poems. It is a cozy bundle of rejuvenating energy encompassing plenty of poetry and a few write-ups!
The book's been divided into 8 chapters, each with a warm fuzzy title (with coffee in it *-*).
It begins with an inspirational writeup of how the author's journey started in the world of writing and through her life experience we are made to understand how you've got to pick yourself up when you hit rock bottom and no one can do it for you except you. "You can take the horse to the river but you can't make it drink". Remember?
We are then introduced to some beautiful poetry ranging from one very different topic to another equally different one. Most are about love, faith, hope and never giving up.
There's a beautiful writeup on the Goddess Durga descending onto earth, in today's crime-filled world. I loved it to the core - it portrayed feminine energy , emotions and strength so delicately and expertly!
She's also penned some thoughtful quotes under a section called 'Espresso Shots' , some of which were quite refreshing.
Coming to the cons, the only thing, that was a bit thumbs-down for me was the fact that there was an overdose of 'coffee'. In my opinion, it was just unnecessary.
That said, I found the read quite a nice one. It was part entertainment, part self-help - a combination not so easy to find and I picked out quite a few motivational quotes and lines for my study desk!

The most amazing blend of poetry and prose. The most thrilling, mysterious, surprising, yet motivational book I've ever read. I fell in love with Rakhi mam's writings. Such great thoughts, the explanation, such candid life experiences turned all at once motivating and making sense. The best book to read anytime. I just love the concept of linking life to coffee and those espresso shots just leave me surprised everytime, that how can such simple words can hide such deep meanings. Simply wow! The perfect definition of LOVE I found here! This is a different happy world to live in. I took a good time to finish this one because honestly, I never wanted this book to end. I'm so surprised, I just can't stop smiling while I'm reading it. This book genuinely talks to you about YOU! Fabulous!

Coffee, different people have different feelings with it; some enjoy is aroma, some others cherish it's variant taste (in my case it's Tea). In this book the author celebrates the various moods of life with her coffee.
The author begins with some prose and decorate it with the tunes of poetry. The first chapter enjoys the music of Life. In the second chapter author motives the readers to move away from the tunes of blues and discover the colour that shines us (individually). The third chapter begins with a sweet innocent love and explains the love, which is our strength. Navaratri is one of three most important festival in India, the fourth chapter author metaphorically commented the stand of a woman in today's society. In the fifth chapter the author encourages us to celebrate the kid in us, this chapter has the most beautiful poems and a special story of friendship between a 43 year old woman and a 9 year old kid. Life is a journey and in a journey we have happy moments, sad corners, fear, depression, pain, love all are part of our journey and in this track adventure adds spice to our joinery; in sixth chapter the author enjoys the thrill of adventure. What's a story without a villain and what's life without an enemy... In the seventh chapter the author reminds us about the negative energy around us. Last but not the least Death, yes this the end of our life but try to find solace before this accepts us.
This book is for all, if you enjoy short story - you will find simple yet beautiful stories in this book and of your a poetry lover don't miss this book... This book holds something for everyone.
PS - Two stories in this book touched my heart the handkerchief story and pratima-durga story.
Rating : 4.4/5

Espresso thoughts by Rakhi Kapoor is a collection of thoughts, quotes, stories, verses & lessons.
Divided in 8 parts, each part contains some emotions & lessons. This is like how to deal with life. I can’t categories them because when we move from one to another they seems connected in a beautiful way. The formation is like:- short story, then verses & then some espresso shots which cover thoughts & quotes.
While reading this book I thought in our busy life a thinking space or time is necessary. According to this book that space can be created by a cup of coffee. The book's key element is to spend some time & discuss some small but effective ideas with oneself.
Book encloses thoughts on such words like gratitude, love, relationship, loneliness, happiness, workmanship, inner self, etc. In my opinion, the thoughts mentioned in this book can be experienced in our daily life.
The first part is short story section at the beginning of each part. My favorite one is based on Ma durga. In short, this story is about making decisions on right time. All the stories are interesting.
Then the verse part is also fascinating. Its approach is vast, covering life’s stages, lesson, making the right choices, taking decisions & some others with a joyful touch.
Another part is espresso shots. They are short & sweet lines with deep significance. They motivate, give positive vibes & give a satisfying feeling. All the content is beautifully arranged. I like this because after reading the story verses comes with a different emotion & then espresso shots with a lot of energy.
This book contains freshness of the coffee. The aftereffect of this book is the same as when someone sips that soothing beverage. Totally loved it.
Divided in 8 parts, each part contains some emotions & lessons. This is like how to deal with life. I can’t categories them because when we move from one to another they seems connected in a beautiful way. The formation is like:- short story, then verses & then some espresso shots which cover thoughts & quotes.
While reading this book I thought in our busy life a thinking space or time is necessary. According to this book that space can be created by a cup of coffee. The book's key element is to spend some time & discuss some small but effective ideas with oneself.
Book encloses thoughts on such words like gratitude, love, relationship, loneliness, happiness, workmanship, inner self, etc. In my opinion, the thoughts mentioned in this book can be experienced in our daily life.
The first part is short story section at the beginning of each part. My favorite one is based on Ma durga. In short, this story is about making decisions on right time. All the stories are interesting.
Then the verse part is also fascinating. Its approach is vast, covering life’s stages, lesson, making the right choices, taking decisions & some others with a joyful touch.

"Life will pass us by, but let us not let the lile in it pass us by" - Rakhi Kapoor
It takes most of us a mid-life crisis to realise that we're not living the life we intended. Life is not something that can be postponed, it's something that requires attention at the moment. It takes some time to gain sight of our purpose and existence, that we spend most of our lives running towards a path that leads us directly to the grave and we forget to look around and cherish the beauty around the road. The author had mentioned this in her book: "What's the hurry? Don't be in such a rush to get buried"
This book had an impact on me. Every time I read the book, a smile naturally crept on my face. It was so beautifully written and the poetry was so simple, yet powerful. Every page in this book hit home, and I don't know if I will start applying everything in this book immediately, but I know that one day when i face my mid-life crisis this book will be a reminder.
The book is divided into eight parts, each one talking about an aspect of life and existence. The one thing connecting all the parts: coffee. The author's love for coffee has been highlighted in the book: at the end of each part there's a section called 'Espresso shots' , which is a summary of the poems written in that part in the form of phrases and quotes.
I would recommend every single person in their tweens and adulthood to read this book. It is a much needed refreshment.

Each chapter had a short Espresso Shots at the end, where one would find the summary, and a brief overview of the chapter, which I loved the most as they were really helpful and insightful.
As I went on reading the book, I was not all engaged in it, but got some eye-opening lessons too. This was my third book by the author. Not to forget, the amazing poems in between, which I enjoyed reading them and they were quite relatable. Writing style is lucid and flawless, along with good narration.

Live your life like a connoisseur not only of beverages, art and other exotic things but also of life itself. Flourish Infinitely Always.
Unlike the books that are well planned and strategized, the book Espresso Thoughts is solely a work of heart. While reading the book, it felt like the author has jotted down all her emotions and thoughts in a book of 172 pages. The book has been divided into 8 parts each focusing on a value or emotion such as inner strength, love, gratitude, journey, time management etc. Each part comprises of write-ups, short stories and poetry based on that respective subject.
The book works well as a self help book. The phrases and poetry in the book are simple yet effective. The special add on in the book is the espresso shots, which are bulleted takeaways from each section. Technically speaking, poems in the book are all free style and they could have been more mature.
Overall the book is very uniquely drafted with a perfect blend of multiple literary elements. The cover of the book is truly attractive and the book promises to delve the readers in a contemplative mindset.
I am not a coffee person, yet the attractive title of each part did make me have cup of coffee. I recommend savouring each thought of this light read with each sip of coffee on a rainy day.

Unique & Excellent
I have read Rakhi Kapoor's books before this and she is a wonderful writer. So I definitely knew this book will be good, what I didn't know is how good it would be. It's definitely one of the best.
The book is so unique, I haven't read any book like this before. This book has 8 short stories about life, love, friendship. Every story is very progressive and very apt for our generation and the coming generation too ...Very modern short stories which kept me hooked till the very end.
The book is very unique in a sense that after every story, there are very interesting and well crafted poems and it doesn't end there it gets better after the poems comes the " Expresso shots" or should I say quick one liner which are intelligent, fun, thoughtful, expressive. One actually needs to read this book as I feel the review doesn't do justice to the book.
The best story I liked is about a little girl throwing pebbles in the water and is told off by a lady. In the end they both end up throwing pebbles together. How does the girl convince the lady to play with her, what is the moral of the story, Do we need to listen to elders always, Are elders always right?
Definitely a must read for all. Language is simple and the book is a quick read so just about anyone can read it.

Coffee is definitely my drink of choice and a good book is the perfect compliment! This book is a combination of poetry, prose and short stories. Its purpose is to provoke thought and to highlight our most extreme passions about life. I loved the stories in here. They were something that would happen in real life. Few stories were heart warming and touching and left me wanting more. It delves into emotional topics in such an honest and raw way with her poetry.
I've read her other books and her work is meaningful and will impact you. It's clear that she is an exceptional writer, but I can't say I enjoyed this more experimental material as much as i did the others. There were a few stand-out pieces, but the rest were just filler.
In this volume of stories there was a wide gamut of experiences and perceptions, and they are united in their honesty and good writing along with some beautiful texts in which she uses prose of deep poetic roots. My favourite one has to be Durga, it was a strong piece and i really enjoyed that one. So Overall this was a very quick read for me as I couldn't put it down once I picked it up. Fantastic job, I loved this book and would most definitely recommend it!

The Author Rakhi Kapoor has a niche for a different kind of writing, she may put a little fictional extract in her books but still, there won't be anything that you will feel is imaginative or out of place as everything just falls in place. This is the second of her book that I read and I absolutely enjoyed it like the first one.
Espresso thought is a collection of short stories and poems, there is no definitive set of pattern in writing, but everything syncs well beautifully and one is able to understand everything clearly . One of the best part of the book I espresso shots at various intervals of the book.
Espresso shots as she has named are kind of summary lines, but they are not confined only to the summary of the previous pages, rather there are so many thoughts, expressions and values that one must take care of.
This one is a must-read. Also If you haven't checked out The Horseshoe man by Rakhi Kapoor, and you are looking for a non-fiction read, you must read the same, its a beautiful story that she has shared of her husband and their journey together while he set his empire.

🍁"A little madness,
A dash of crazy,
A touch of confusion,
Sprinkle some chaos,
And make a perfect recipe for life."🍁
.
🍁~Rakhi Kapoor, Espresso Thoughts ~🍁
.
🍁This book is divided into 8 parts, each depicting various themes of life like love, ambitions, pain among the others. Each part comprises of either a personal account or a fictional story combined with short doses of poems.
🍁End of each part has a section called Espresso Shots, which I personally found the most interesting as it consists of various different quotes and sayings to sum up the entire part.
🍁The book has a rather unique style of writing as it is neither a complete poetry book nor a complete personal account but a mix of both which makes it quite interesting just like the title " when coffee and poetry come together''.
🍁The cover is beautiful and just by looking at it a coffee lover like me will go for it but other than that it is worth reading.
🍁If looking for a light read with a cup of your favourite beverage , this is a perfect choice. Writing is simple and makes you feel connected with the author.

"Live your life like a connoisseur not only of beverages, art and other exotic things but also of life itself."
.
'Espresso', this word is enough to catch my attention to go and read this book. And honestly, as much the taste of coffee never disappoints me this book too didn't disappoint me in any way. 'Espresso Thoughts' is a collection of 8 short stories (plus poems). The uniqueness about this book is that it's very well-blended book of poems and short stories with few life advice.
.
The themes that this book concentrates on are like how to make a come back after a set back, how to come out of your comfort zone and do something different, how to believe in your dreams, and being grateful to the good one's and many more.
.
I enjoyed reading this book. Most of the poems in this book are written in free verse format and also each of them carry beautiful meanings. Espresso Thoughts basically give the message of becoming a connoisseur of your life. As a connoisseur is an expert judge in matters of taste the author too wishes us to become a connoisseur of our life. To know and taste every experience. Even if it's a failure, it still has a lot to teach us.

Happy Reading!!

This book is the fourth book I'm reading from the author. Slowly and steadily, my heart is drifted to her writings and I really feel like she is changing into my favourite author. She has life in her words and every book of her is filled with true and remarkable emotions.
In this book, she says her feelings both in free verses and prose styled. It may be the treking in Nepal, or the story of her first book, or about her ever moving life or overweight, the author has her own originality in speech. Real stories never fail to touch our hearts, does they? At the end of each narration, she brings out a life lesson to be learnt by everyone.
'Care less for things, care more for people' is my favourite part in this book. The story of Tia and Arnav is so touchy and I loved it so much. It is too good to read poetry, stories and experiences in a book. It is certainly a book to be read by all!
The writing style is also simple as always that everyone could read it! So happy to read her books!

Caffeinated musings
Espresso Thoughts by Rakhi Kapoor is a compilation of caffeinated thoughts and musings on life.
The book consists of 8 parts - each one blending a different essence of life with coffee. Each chapter opens with musings from the author's life, then elucidating her feelings through poetry and finally ending the chapters with some espresso shots i.e some highlights.
This is my second book by the author and I have really come to enjoy her writing style. There is a certain leisurely touch to her narration that feels like having a conversation with her.
I liked how the author has communicated an assortment of thoughts by comparing it with the versatility of coffee.
However, the thing that bothered me a little bit were the erratic transitions from one subject to the other or one poetry to the other. For me, personally, the transitions were a bit too abrupt.
Other than that, I really enjoyed reading the book.
If you looking for something to read on a leisurely day with some significant learning, you can pick this one up.

This is my second book by the author and I have really come to enjoy her writing style. There is a certain leisurely touch to her narration that feels like having a conversation with her.
I liked how the author has communicated an assortment of thoughts by comparing it with the versatility of coffee.
However, the thing that bothered me a little bit were the erratic transitions from one subject to the other or one poetry to the other. For me, personally, the transitions were a bit too abrupt.
Other than that, I really enjoyed reading the book.
If you looking for something to read on a leisurely day with some significant learning, you can pick this one up.

I agreed on the book review as soon as I saw poetry associated with it. You all know how much I am low on reading and this book brought me back to my routine.
This is a collection of 8 short stories and the poetry collection at the end of each story. Other than that, let me specifically tell you that this book will provoke thoughts in your mind, not new ones but really important ones. You will find yourself relating to it. It will motivate you. In case you feel low in life or taken back, this book will help you boost a bit.
I loved the concept of 'espresso shots' at the end of each chapter/story. It gives you takeaways from the chapter and believes me they are gold and really motivating.
I must also say that the book completely justifies its cover, title, and subtitle that is the main point of attraction for readers.
However, I felt the writing style for the stories a little dull. It can definitely be improved to make them more enticing.
Overall, I'd recommend it if you are a beginner or want some weekend read
