The second cup of tea.

Where are you going this summer ? asked a friend. Timbuktu I replied.
Trains and flights can take us to any destinations. 

The daily morning ritual of lighting an incense sticks takes me to different destinations beyond the comprehension of a passport or a visa,train ticket or an Uber cab.The fragrance of the incense burns in  me minor discomfort here and there....the first step to going beyond.

The second ritual this being ... lazy.....which does at times turn my dreams into reality. That dream of chilling...no hurry ..only Tom amd Jerry.

One doesn't always need yoga for the union of mind and body.....Says Tom and agrees Jerry.

The third ritual of making tea...is most fascinating.Adding mint leaves to the water I realised how stimulating and careful I am about my morning cup of "teas" ..the second cup is more stimulating than the first.Making tea in the morning has to be in total silence for me....no one around...just the sound of boiling water, enjoying.., waiting till the time it is brewing to setting up the tray for 'two cups of tea".

The first cup is for stimulation and second is an adventure. 

Somehow I did not enjoy the first sip of tea. Stimulation is not always enough. I picked up the cup of adventure and the feeling was different.Now I wasn't lazy but crazy.

    How many drinks down me....oops..how many sips down me ???2-3 and I geared up for my 'things  to do"  list for today.
     1.Bully a friend.
      2. Cycling at the odd hours.
       3. Enjoying breakfast at dinner .

The conversation with myself over the second cup of tea,I realised is important to break the routine and adventure is a Conversations are sexy too.
Tea and good conversation have a language of their own.Mostly happiness and love.
