The humming tune of “Kaathale kaathale” from the movie 96 by
Trisha Krishnan and Vijay Sethupathi was being subconsciously playing in mind when the screen of my cellphone displayed “Snooze” and “Dismiss”.
It accompanied with a loud tune , and by default my hands touched
the snooze icon.
One blink later I could see my roommate waking me up asking me
to head to the reading room to finish off the pending portions of my studies.
Being hundreds of kilometre away from your home, amidst people
with whom your language doesn’t sync is a whole different experience to me.
Among handful places well known for CA studies Guntur was the one where we came, to diligently do our so called '6 months of rigorous Study!"
A typical day starts at around 5 in the morning with shivering cold bath and a
walk with hoodie to study room.
Classes, food, more food, slumbers in between, mockery and stupid jokes to keep up our sanity followed by planning numerous times and then re planning multiple more times on how we could crack this
Course is how our day usually rolls.
Amidst all these frustrations running around in our head, ordering various kinds of
tea to a person whose language we don’t understand is quite a tedious task.
A few cups of these beverages are mandatory to me
without which my internal system hangs.
And who could understand this human aspect better than the person who
prepares this warm cup of beverage ?
Seeing my
struggle with the language and my sleep deprived eyes he made sure that I felt
homely!
Making sure that my hands didn’t
burn with hot cup of freshly brewed tea, I was given the double glass! Making me
realise, be it any place around,
There is always this warmth over a cup of tea!
