Winter Mornings - Sweet November..
Ok. It's sweet November. The weather is at it's best. watching the sunrise from the balcony was never so beautiful. Initially, it's like an adorable orange. You would like to drink every drop of the fresh juice. Then within a blink or two, it becomes brighter and brighter. A real tear-causer. I close my eyes, and automatically, the Gayatri Mantra starts in my mind -
ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः
तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं ।
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि
धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ॥
I am ready for the day now.. such a blissful start to a great day.
The next best thing is tea-time. I am not a tea-freak, so to say. Meaning, consuming 10s of cups a day is not my cup of tea. But that morning kadak meethi chai is certainly a kick.
I open the fridge and take out the milk. and yeah, the finely chopped ginger is a must. that familiar taste rolls over my tongue. I mix water and milk nicely. add a handsome amount of sugar to it. After all, what is a great tea with just a pinch of sugar? The moment I add ginger to it, the mixture first shows a bit of reluctance. Then I spoon it to the extent that the ginger is finally accepted and is now ready to pour it's taste to my tea. And the final element- yeah, tea powder. nice masala tea powder. giving that brilliant color to my tea. And when I am about to pour it, I hear the most familiar voice - "Chaha tayar jhala ka? (meaning "is the tea ready?" ). my love is overwhelmed to catch the sight of me serving the tea on the table. As if, this is the very first time... I really like his way of living life. It's always one day at a time for him.
And then we start talking.. it's around 6 o clock. Arin is in sound sleep- probably hoping that it's a holiday for school. it's just me and my love. chewing various topics... I wonder how we never get bored... is it the tea, or it's the company?
