How often do you come across a person who surprises you with his/her knowledge on a particular topic. But whenever I do, I really enjoy myself....well actually speaking its more of mixture of admiration, envy and resolve to know little more of the subject when I get some more time.
For the last few days I am tied up with brainstorming sessions with subject matter experts as we are trying to design business process maps. And as you can imagine with 6-10 people in a room debating out a scenario there are sometimes deadlocks and the simple was to go ahead is a call to the pantry for a round of coffee.
May be I never bothered knowing about it but one collegue started in one such break about the nuances of making a good coffee. I was sitting there not even knowing the difference between filter coffee and normal coffee and there was someone discussing difference between different kind of coffee beans!!!!
I simply decided to listen and absorb.... A few thing stuck on to my to do list...For example Chicory . I never knew it was also added to coffee. I had just asked, if it was a english word. Just now I found out a bit about it.
