My Tea Teacher

Yesterday,one of the key members of the gang forced me and finally taught me to prepare tea.I have no special liking for the tea,but people feel its very important to banaao chai.Its a good bonding factor for all ocassions,easy to prepare and more easy to drink.

My tea teacher is a very active guy and wants other member of the group to be more active than their current levels.On Friday, he was offering gyaan to one of the key members to be active all the time.Hence,to avoid more gyaan, i conceded and prepared tea.

Method of preparation :-
Take 3 small glasses of water and put it in the cooking vessel.Let it boil along with tea leaves and sugar.Once,it starts to boil, pour 1 glass of milk.
Allow it to heat up till you feel its prepared fine.

25 years of existence

3 days back , I celebrated my 25th year of existence on this planet.
It was a good feeling to reach this milestone.
More special with the way it was celebrated.
No netas and crowd as they normally have to commemorate someone's birth anniversary.
Hope that happens at my 50th birthday as well :)

Winners or goodness !!!

Taken From Gurcharan Das blog

Recall, great souled Yudhishthira, tormented and embattled, refuses to enter heaven at the end of the epic. He insists that an unclean, stray dog, who had been following him, is admitted into heaven as well. It turns out to have been a test, and Yudhishthira and his ethical goal of anrsamsya or compassion, are paid the highest compliment. He is told, ‘Great king, you weep with all the creatures!’ I wonder why no Indian mother calls her son, Yudhishthira. There are millions of Arjuns. It is not because it is difficult to pronounce. The fact is that Arjuna is a winner in the self-defeating kshatriya rat race of life. We prefer winners to goodness.

Breaking the sound barrier

It was in the X-1 that Chuck Yeager was the first person to break the sound barrier in level flight on October 14, 1947, flying at an altitude of 45,000 ft (13.7 km).

I don't know why this thing came to my mind today morning.Maybe I have broken some mental barriers somehow and somewhere.
