Tea
“Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company”
-Zen Haiku
“Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea! How did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea”
-Sir Philip Sidney
“That's one of the things I look forward to about an evening like this - someone to drink tea with at the end of it. For all I know, the whole point of civilisation is to provide one with someone to drink tea with at the end of an evening.”
-Aurora Greenway

So true.got to have a cup of tea with some one to enjoy it.I dont like drinking tea alone even though sometimes I do.
Suji..Me first to have a cup of tea with you.hehe.
Never been a tea-drinker, infact I hate tea! Unless it's Chinese Tea with Ginseng or Peach Flavoured Ice Tea... :)
But for most folks, tea's more than a beverage.... a part of life, something that defines your culture, a test of etiquette or even a "mind-expanding drug" like LSD. I'm serious about that last part.... one roomie I had wad ADDICTED to tea, God save anyone in his path when he has missed his fix!
PS: See the new Jet Li movie Fearless? There's an interesting exchange between Jet Li and this chivalrous Japanese warrior he's supposed to fight soon (for a change Japs are not shown as monsters in a Chinese film). On the surface it revolves around tea drinking and appreciation, but it has much deeper connotations. It's actually a palaver to understand the opponent's philosophy-of-the-warrior.... it's also a kind of duel where the rivals assess each other long before the inevitable showdown.
ummm i love a steaming cup of tea!! especially after a siesta!!
interesting insight ananda k!
;-))
Tea is such a special part of life!
Keshi.

Wondeful posts Young Lady.More Praises on my next visit as today I am here to tell you about the bug who got his freedom,but his creator is still not happy.Your esteemed presence would be solicited atThe Bug.Comments as always would be great encouragement
So much about a thing as quintessential as a sip ?!!!
Wow !
Awesome Suji..
Yes, I love the smell and taste of tea and when I travel in different places that's what I look for as souvenir
To me tea pot only represents a wonderfully made masala tea shared with friends. It's interesting how we, humans, attach emotions to everythig, includsing teapots!
Ek Garam Chai ki pyaali ho...
Aur usko pilaane waali ho... :)
Hi.. First time here and i sang my way into your blog..lol. Thanks for stopping by my blog and thanks for your nice comments. Take care and C'ya around. -ari
P.S: Just curious. Did you draw that teapot?
Thanks all. I can see a lot of tea lovers like me here :)
Ari...thats a nice song on tea. Hope u find the pilaane wali soon. :)
Yes, the teapot is my creation. I usually use only pics shot by me or sketches drawn by me. Since the quotes I use are by others, I think there should be atleast something that is my own in my blog. :)
That was cute ..
although I dont drink tea/coffee....I know for some people...their day cant start without it...its almost as essential as air and water1
I wish we could sit down together
And have a cup of tea
But since we can’t
When you have this one
I hope you’ll think of me.

simple pleasure that i cant miss anyday!!
had never thought of a cup of tea precipitating something as serene as the breaking down of solitude!
nice post!
:)
Did you do that sketch??
Jo.
Tea is a refreshment drink. It is one of those which comes handy to have a chat with someone who is very close. A masal vadai just before the tea used to be very nice. Once in a while having a masala tea also brings in good taste. Because it is diuretic, I drink two glasses of water before I drink a cup of tea.
Tea making is an art.
Suji, i love your drawing. Nice pencil work and shading. I'm married, so there is no pilaane waali to look for... lol :D Unfortunately im a coffee person and my wife doesnt drink tea or coffee. :) C'ya around. -ari
