| | To Tea or to Coffee !

It really beats me - how can ppl have their preferences on the kind of beverage that charges them, keeps them going.

Me - am one of those ppl too. I am addicted big time to "chai". I have to down atleast 4/5 cups of tea a day. Be it anytime of the day (or night), if someone offers me tea, i cannot-not say no to it. My perfect day has to start of with a nice hot cup of tea (elaichi or no).

I dont really remember how i got addicted to tea. Can date back to my engineering days, when i used to accompany friends for the occasional (and later on - ever so often ) "smoke" (or sutta in engineering terms :)). There was one problem tho, i didnt smoke , so with the limited options that i had (eat eclairs or drink tea) i got hooked on to tea. My dad is another big fan of tea, so when at home, i always knew there would be atleast one person who would gimme company whenever i felt like indulging.

But LIFE - as it is, has taken another twist *sigh*, unfortunately people here in the US dont have a liking to tea, so all they can offer are coffee machines all over the place. Now if i need charging , all i can do is grab a cup of coffee (regular, decaf,vanilla). Am starting to realise that this side of the beverage world aint that bad either.

But until i change my loyalties completely - waiting to get back home and pamper myself by making me a nice hot cuppa tea. JaI. | 8:19 AM
