Coffee Jitters, New Fav Song and Instagram

There is something called Denervation Hypersensitivity.

Your brain goes haywire when you cut down the stimulus you usually get. It starts producing more and more receptors and becomes hyper-sensitive to the same amount of stimulus. When it finally gets one, it overreacts.

After some time, it learns to cool down and react normally like it used to. Or in other words, it becomes hypo-sensitive. Kind of how addiction works.

For me, that addiction is Coffee.

Even though I drink only one cup, that 150-200gms of caffeine is what keeps me functional.

To keep a check on my addiction, I stay caffeine-free for a few days before ordering the coffee beans.

Those are the most dreadful days.

It’s like my brain halts all its functions and issues a warrant in search of caffeine everywhere.

It says, “Sarthak, go out. There is a new cafe. You should try their coffee. They are nice and famous. Or leave it. Just go to Starbucks or something. Reward yourself. You need it. Your mental health is down. Get the hell out and drink some coffee. I don’t care about the money. Get me coffee. Goooooo”

It is desperate.

I am desperate.

So I go out. Order a black coffee. Drink it, and boom.

Denervation hypersensitifuckinvity…..

All my cells suck in every minuscule atom of caffeine. It’s like an energy bomb. Fills me with so much energy that I don’t know what to do with it.

Hence, the jitters.

It’s a way, the body tries to dissipate the excess energy from the caffeine.

But why am I telling you this?

Firstly, because, the bomb has just burst on me. I don’t know what I am doing. The caffeine is making me do it. I recently visited the new Roastery Cafe in my city to taste their coffee. And now I am high.

You should check it out if you are in Lucknow.

Secondly, when I am feeling extremely low, even coffee won’t cheer me up. At that time, I don’t drink it. I try to give myself a few days off that stimulus. Once I start feeling better and a little more energetic, that’s when I take advantage of the hypersensitivity.

One cup of nice fresh coffee snaps me out of my grief.

Gives me a reason to push myself.

This is what I bought today. You should give it a try.

Aah!

One more thing.

Currently, I am listening to “Ghunghroo” from the movie War. I know it’s an old song but works like coffee to my ears in the morning. Shilpa Rao, you’ll always be in my playlist no matter what.

For you dear, Chhodo saari sharm aur laaj.
