Off Topic- That Magic Drink, Tea
A Cup of Tea- Magical!I am really surprised how come I did not wax eloquent about my favorite drink in the world. No, this was not the planned post for today. Smita is responsible for this one. She has waxed eloquent about tea and it is infectious. And I have to quote her-
Drinking tea is a form of meditation, did you know?I absolutely agree with her. There was a time when my daily average (read Ph.D. days) tea consumption was about 20 cups. No, this is true, I can count from one to twenty. Now it is down just to six cups of tea. But 20 or six, I do absolutely adore the drink.
Just sitting there, with a steaming cup in the hand, the mind is so relaxed, so much at peace. The Buddhist monks still use it as a mode of meditation. Tea is regularly offered as means of learning, practicing, and experiencing awareness in simple, everyday activities.

Considering the fact that tea contains Caffeine, it's good to know that you've cut down on consumption!

hmm.. reminded me that I have a cup of tea lying on my table..
I think this drink seems more magical when we are drinking it together. :-) I think I will not cook maggie in future you do it nicely. :-)
Sidhu Caffeine or Nicotine, I am not going to give up tea. I mean to say at least it is not Nicotine!
Apurva, jaao chai khatam karo!
Alka, you are right. Not sure about the Maggie part though :D
Mridula tell Sidhusaheb
"Paal le ek rog jine ke vaaste sehat ke sahare Zindgai katati nahi hai ".
I also remember my University days when we used to finish 4-5 cups one after another in wait of some one.
