“Actually, there are many people I would like to have a coffee with...
from our plant manager to my two-and-a-half-year-old kiddo. But here
I’d like to suggest our famous and bold politician, Minister of Road
Transport and Highways, Mr Nitin Gadkari. He talks about renewable
energy management in India, which each and every one of us needs.
Using the resource solar energy, which is abundant in India, will be a
big step towards India becoming a self-reliant country.
He has played a crucial role in the development of
infrastructure as well as small- and medium-scale industries.
People can really see his work on the ground. It is so inspiring
how he is micromanaging such a vast area of development.
Having a cup of coffee with him would be
a learning experience for me.”
“I’d love to have a coffee with my beloved
grandma. She is a strong, independent,
affectionate, albeit stubborn lady. For me
she is a very special person. She loves to tell
stories about the past. She likes to remember
my grandpa and the time when she was young
and independent. She can tell you a story
about any subject you care to mention. She
doesn’t regret a single decision and considers
them all valuable for her life. All of her stories
carry the message that life is precious and
that one should enjoy and treasure even the
smallest experiences. Even if she sometimes
repeats her stories, you can tell from her eyes
that she is relishing the past and feeling wistful
at the same time.

What fascinates me the most about her is
that, despite some tough times in her life, she
never gives up and always keeps her goals in
mind. The story of her life and the grace with
which she manages to find something positive
in every setback and to integrate this into
her life’s story makes her a role model for me.
Precisely for this reason I would never miss
a single opportunity to have coffee with my
grandma, and there’s always something sweet
to go with it.”
