And so here I am - all over again!

Okay...blame it on FB, blame it on whatever else you can pick up, I wanted to write but couldn't write :)
That said, I've still been diligently blog-hopping and happened to land of Preeti Shenoy's blog

Read through, liked it, bought her book (the second one - just yesterday and started reading in the car..so far, so good)

And to promote her latest book, she's started this thing called "prompt" for every Tuesday. Was quite interesting. Have let 2 of them pass and enjoyed reading what everyone had to say.

Also noticed that people have kind of formed a bond and Preeti's given all of them this platform..not sure if she's realised that!

So, now that the background is done, I'll get going..this week's prompt..

The prompt for today is a quote by Bernard-Paul Heroux.

There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea. ~Bernard-Paul Heroux

I have a lot of fond memories with tea and really lot of us share the same thing...that early morning chai on the road, that chai you shared with your friends in college, that evening chai in the college canteen that sucked but you still HAD to go for!

Off late, my fav tea time is the early morning cup.

Our day starts at a break-neck speed...there is a school bus to catch!

Wake up the kid

Insists that she doesn't want to get up

Try convincing her that it's important to get up and go to school - all the while struggling to stay awake!

Milk- check, Ironed Uniform - Check, School bag with books - check, Polished Shoes - check,Snacks box - check

And then that last minute rush to catch the school bus...!

Suddenly the atmosphere at home changes, it's almost zen-like!

That's the tea-time! A tea glass in hand (no, I am not a cup person!) with a newspaper, on the sofa - that's bliss!

Those 5 minutes of uninterrupted time is what gives the strength to tackle the day (however shitty it might look), brings that smile to the face (however bad the tea is!). Then just suddenly, the tea is over.. and it's back to the grind...

It's time to wake up kid 2!!!

Whoever said life was going to be easy, it is just one big roller coaster ride with 5 minute breathers in between. Thanks for being a great company!
