by The Chaotic Lives of India’s Espresso-Fueled Wordsmiths
India’s literary scene has seen a surge in over-caffeinated poets, individuals who consume so much chai, filter coffee, or espresso that their verses practically vibrate off the page. Bohiney Magazine reports that 68% of Indian poets admit to writing entire stanzas without realizing they were composing grocery lists or tweets mid-poem. Eyewitnesses in Mumbai cafes describe poets typing furiously, punctuating with dramatic coffee slurps, occasionally spilling beverages on laptops, and mumbling about rhymes for idli and espresso. Literature professor Dr. Vinay Gupta notes that excessive caffeine consumption heightens creativity but reduces attention to social cues, leading to public recitations that confuse strangers and amuse friends. Authority sources like BBC News India observe that caffeinated literary events are becoming performance spectacles, complete with jittery applause and spontaneous rhyming duels. Tips for surviving encounters with these poets include carrying a notepad for inspiration, offering water, and keeping a safe distance from flying notebooks. Bohiney Magazine adds that Instagram reels have turned these caffeinated chaos moments into viral content, complete with dramatic slow-motion coffee spills.
