The tea 'drinkard'



How is an ideal evening spent?

An ideal evening is spent usually over a cup of tea and occasionally over coffee.
One round of the beverage followed by another, with endless chit chat, randomly jumping from one topic to another are considered to be part of an usual, yet ideal evening for us.

Why and how this hot beverage is an instant hit with people like us is still a mystery. One cannot help wondering what sort of pleasure one derives when sips the hot beverage and when it goes down the throat.

Now over the years we have realised that our lives center around tea stalls. These tea stalls are exclusively meant for boys and are mostly located in boys only zones. However, an ideal tea stall should satisfy two conditions:
Firstly, it should offer good tea. Secondly, it should be accessible to all the tea ‘drinkards’ of the group.

The best part of the tea stalls is that they don’t have an artificial air to them. One just picks a cup (hang on! Isn’t it offered in glass they call single?) and finds out a comfortable space to stand and talk.







With years after years, people , mostly single status attached to them , enjoy the hot beverage coupled with sensical, commonsensical and nonsensical chit chat. The flavour of the tea and the warmth of being with people whom you care and vice versa never fade away with each tea single binding them together making the bond all the more strong.
