Over a cup of tea!

The first words in my first blog are typed here- they are special, on any achievement's scales, aren't they?

And what i chose to write is- about a drink?!a drink that i don't drink; a drink that, as i often wonder, why people drink?!

and still I am writing about it and inviting people to my 'blog' over the  cup of the same drink?!

Confusing it is indeed & here is some more , I am talking about a drink that some people drink over an evolved system of time perfected precise measurements of ingredients in the broth with dramatic rituals or some drink with a tray of cookies &  cakes chattering with a stiff upper lip or some drink to relax the stress of the day by ingesting the simpler yet potent astringents or some just drink it since they don't have a choice to come out of the addiction or some drink it to have a conversation.

A hot drink, originally, sometimes also served chilled; prepared from Camellia sinensis leaves which can have over 6 different coloured broths, over 10 different registered preparations & 100s of blends; which has a place in over 40 languages from Chai in Hindi to Tee in Afrikaans, from Thé in French to Thenīr in Tamil, which was produced over 805 tonnes in my country as dry powder last year; which, most significantly, has been a part of human history, civilization & culture.

Well please don't be confused. Ignore the part of what is there in the cup that we are holding, just focus on the last few words that makes the last line of the above para."Human history, civilization & culture" is what I want to discuss over a cup of Tea.The diversity of life and living that is just explained by a single cup filled with few sips of Tea.

Hence, any thing interestingly imaginable (or imaginably interesting) can be discussed and that is what i am looking forward to....
