Between Sips - It Started With a Pause
Before Between Sips became a book, it was just an idea 💡
An idea started in 2018 ✨
I remember sitting during a camping trip, watching people around me in a small coffee shop far from the city life, conversations drifting in and out, silence sitting comfortably between strangers.
That was the first time the idea popped into mind from the way stories existed in pauses.
I sat with that thought for a while. Months, actually.
Then one fine evening at Colectivo Coffee in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I opened a document and wrote the first story. One table. One person. One moment I didn’t want to forget.
I didn’t know then that I was writing a book. I didn’t know that I would one day call myself an author. I just knew that something about that camping trip coffee shop had stayed with me longer than it should, and that the only way to understand it was to write about it.
That first story at Colectivo felt like an answer to something I hadn’t fully asked yet.
The first story came in 2018 on a fine evening at @colectivocoffee in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I didn’t know then that I would become an author one day, and this story would become fifteen tables, fifteen lives, and a book.
But I kept observing.
Cafés, people, moments that stayed longer than they should.
Between Sips was written slowly, over years, in those in-between spaces, various cafes, and different tables.
And now, it’s here.
Fifteen tables. Fifteen lives. One book.
That’s what Between Sips became. But it all traces back to one quiet afternoon, one small coffee shop, and a room full of strangers sitting comfortably in their silence.
I’ve been carrying this idea for a while now. And it’s almost time to bring it to your table.
This is the first in a series of posts about how Between Sips came to life, the idea, the journey, and everything in between.
If that’s a story you want to follow, I’d love to have you here.
Pull up a chair. The tables are ready.
Between Sips is now available on Amazon India.
👉 Coming soon in the U.S. and other countries.
