Winters in India: With a cup of tea..

A busy November is just behind me, now its time to look forward towards winter; full of exciting journeys and enthusiastic feast. December is a month when I attach wings on my shoulders and keep buzzing from place to place... White Winter, Breezy Winter, Soft Sunny Winter and Winter with steamy cup of "Chai" AKA Tea...

Do you really think Tea time is only popular in England? Well think again!! Tea is a popular social event in India. And why wouldn't it be?

Thinking about Graduation days, no matter how empty the pockets are, they were always full, no matter how much the pressure is, there was always time to chill, and no matter you studied or not. it always worked out in exams..

Thinking about the competition where I was awarded 2nd Prize and Judged consoled me by announcing, that it was by a few points... ggrrrhhh!! Ahhh!

Thinking about the funny situation which force me to "change" my opinion about you. The first time I met you, I thought I saw you, but I was wrong, I didn't seen you at all and now I think I got a glimpse of YOU...
