A Cup Of Tea !

When we are lonely we have tea,
When we are tired we have tea,
When we are with friends we have tea,
When we are doing fun we have tea!!
There are innumerable facets of tea. Don't you think there is something quite fascinating about tea. I guess that's why we usually have it at least two times a day.
From the 'cutting chai' of Mumbai to the 'kadak chai' of Delhi, in every corner "whenever their is something missing Chai manages to fill the empty cup of our lives and moods." I wonder when this concept of tea drinking and tea culture has evolved and became as a tradition.

I just love ginger tea and Indian chai is my all time favourite. Although I was never a tea person infact a coffee freak but now, today I need my tea in a big 'coffee mug' to jump start my day.. No small cups for me!!
There is nothing better than the rich essence of an 'aroma tea', delicious as 'masala tea' and so refreshing and rejuvenating as 'cinnamon tea.'

As the tea brews, so do the secrets! with friends and family we do share our secrets, life and several talks to the simple pleasures just over a cup of tea. Tea lovers can go on and on, these moments are the best sweeteners of tea.

I live in a country where tea is popular all over as a breakfast and evening drink. People interact with tea and socialize over a cup of tea, we certainly do have a great history with tea, where offering it to visitors is like a culture in the society. Every Indian have tea in their 'Rashan list', here tea is a 'cup of life' and its simplicity appeals to me.

Its a saying and now I find it so true that 'all true tea lovers not only like their tea strong, but like it a little stronger with each year that passes..' don't you think??

In autumn and winter I find a nice cup of tea is the best companion. Whether we call it a stress-buster, a great anti-oxidant or a source of instant energy, tea has always been a favourite beverage.

So what better way to start your day, time to go and have some tea...the hotter the better!

What women want !!

Really! What do women want? Isn't this one of the most challenging questions of all time..?

I thought "what men want" would be difficult, but this is even harder....

No one can profess to have an complete understanding about the emotions, feelings and thoughts of a woman. Women is a most complex creature that we have on this globe and sometimes I really wonder if we know "what we really want?"

Its not easy to know at times we stop and think about it... especially when we might have list of things we may wish to have or want.

Often times we feel very lonely and insecure even in the best of relationships, whether with friends, family or partners and some times it becomes so unbearably painful that changes our behaviour and drowned us into negativity or numbness.

"what is the real want..? 
what is the priority of it..? and
how it progresses with in one's mind, choices and acts it derives it..?"

Since happiness is a state of Equilibrium of mind and Soul, by self choices or beliefs. Once you reach that equilibrium, happiness is attained !!Every body says we don't have to keep searching for it
but if I am still searching then what i would say...


Am I running on the wrong track? or Am I confused?

Well still I am wondering and trying to figure out this quest !!

Self Expression .

Here I'm on teachers day dedicating this post to my darling mother who is a great teacher indeed my greatest strength and always being an inspiration from childhood ....
Long time ago when I was a child I remember I never used to miss my dance, music and drawing classes and there is no doubt why..! it is definitely because of the joy of learning with lots of fun.


Like other kids I also used to watch television and movies all the time especially too many cartoons and to play rest of the time..from dusk to dawn! I was a very very notorious child.....complete freak loved enjoying myself and making other enjoy as well.

Like I said I was a naughty kid, my mother used to get complains from my teachers that I always found busy in talking and making doodles in the class. My mother who is a teacher herself instead of scolding me says "acting, music, dance, poetry and drawing are the best medium of self-expression through which a child experiences and explore themselves better." so there is no need to worry about all this. She believes a bit of art would help capture children's imagination and thus their attention.

Holding a child's attention is an art, it is very important to read them deeply. Teacher are like trees providing us their shadow to achieve heights. They introduce us with the world of words. My mother taught me about the incredible power of imagination. She says " imagination is everything there is no need to mug-up every time, if we can imagine a future we can surely create it one day." And hence success depend upon one's vision, the attitude towards life, the ability to rise above the pain, the sensitivity towards life and people ie. always respect your subordinates than your superiors.

Student look upto their teachers for inspiration. If a teacher has the charisma to change a negative mindset of a student to the positive and then motivate them I think such teacher is the best. I had many teachers at school and even at collage but didn't have much impact on me except my mother, the one amazing person who have helped shape my personality. She is someone who always stands out in my life. I would always respect her and her great thoughts.

Mango People ..

"What makes the common people ie. the 'Aam Janta' or we can say the 'Mango People' so uncommon in life!"
Is it their simplicity, their abilities, their sacrifices or their attitude towards life..
They laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears and keep reminding themselves that everything happens for a reason!! That is why I feel they have less frown lines and more laughter lines because they must have learnt to laugh at life. They are strong enough to face the world each day.


Although the common people are as vulnerable and sensitive as they were decades ago but I guess have learnt to rise above all the frustration of daily life. They know problems are their part of life, part of their dreams and even part of their nightmares still they believe in miracles and have faith in the Almighty. Life is too precious to be spent worrying...

Their life reflects immense hard work, suffering, adjustment and understanding. They even try to celebrate every bit of happiness amazingly with a great zeal. I admire their generous feeling to help as well as to share the sorrow of others. And one thing is for sure they know how to cope-up when are shrouded by the mist of uncertainty. 


Like everybody says I also admit that 'they are just ordinary people in extra-ordinary situations and its their never-say-die spirit that make them so uncommon.. forever'


Above all I think at some point of life whenever they think about it and takes a step back they will always feel how amazing life truly is!
