Cafe ou The?

It's not like I've never had tea or I'm allergic to it. It's just that I'm not a tea person. Probably because it's just not my cup of, well, u know, or because I don't need it. As simple as that!! But coffee - the aroma, the satisfaction, the froth, the bitterness and the enigma to it captivates me. My preference could very well be because of the fact that coffee has many harmful effects, and tea comparatively scores way better.

So I had a rocking time in Bangalore. Tea costs more than coffee there. A buck more at CKD (Chai ki dukan) - I'll never forget that place. Coffee there used to be 4 bucks - would be bitter to the core - utterly satisfying and dehydrating. Very potent. Very toxic. Very essential. And, yes, a lot did happen over it.

But now that I'm in the capital, tea is omnipresent. Coffee is an expensive option as it is only available at Barista or Coffee Day. And considering my current financial position, I'm a hermit for the next one month. Atleast I hope I am. So now that the campus norms have made sure that we're virtually stranded in campus without any resources to have a hot cuppa and are dictated by the whims of the Mess, I have only one resort to keep awake in class - Have tea.

It's not that bad after all. It's got ginger in it. Reminds me of my office. Plus, it's a God send for my sore throat - everyone on campus doesn't know what I sound like really. Everyone thinks I have a husky voice and they like it - like Phoebe's sexy phlegm. So i'm off icecream for a week. What will power!!

So what say?? Chai ho jaye???
