Romancing the Waters 

I had all the advantages when I was in IIT campus. But for some reason, I never got over my initial fear of water. So as you take steps into the lovely blue pool of water, I am just hoping you will fall in love with water for good.

When everyone else is on their siesta break and nap in the sultry afternoon, I get a nice cup of tea to keep awake.  Thanks to Baba and his tea making skills in this household the rest of us tend to forget the art of tea making.  Same is true in my other household too. The man of the household makes his version of tea in Bangalore too.  I strongly believe that the men have a special skill of making the most important drink in any household. And the household that doesn't let the men of the house do this important task loose out on the  most essential ritual in the family.  Statistically speaking, maybe this is the case of small sample but this seems to ring the bell for me in every new household I enter.
