The one thing I always associated with 'my profession' is the presence of Chai-cups on the desk of my fellow teachers' around.To my aghast, I saw none at my new work place.
In the first post I detailed out how sleepy I got ( without Chai and partly,it being the day-1).
It's been raining past week, and you feel more gloomy without the 'essentials'- Chai being one.
I don't remember when I initiated this ritual as it always was a mug full of coffee courtesy block A comfort!
Mom dad became no-tea from 8-10 tea a day .....so, it isn't their impact for sure I feel..
In Bengal too I remember clearly to have silent aversion from no- milk no- sugar wala cup..its beauty in its transparent cups that I savored more with hills as background, clicking away cup n juns to glory!
