Warmth over a cup of tea!


         
         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!
