Its raining!!!!!
The coffee and tea vending machine in the canteen conked out at the wrong time. Can we stay away from a steaming cuppa in the rain? So we picked up two umbrellas from the lobby, without bothering about the identity of their rightful owners and sauntered out to the "Khoka" in the corner.
The overly sweet cup of chai in the downpour tasted better than the best of wines I have had (not that many actually). There we were, beneath a big pipal tree, its leaves dripping droplets on us and into the chai…the fragrance of rain drenched earth and the refreshing aroma of the tea made it a heady experience.
We stood there and chatted, smiling at people making a dash to the small shanty and the stoic chaiwala, who looked more an aristocrat than a tea vendor. We went into the air conditioned office soaking wet, but happy. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm……the flavors of life.
