3rd Februaury 2008: I have survived a week without tea..:)

Yeah, its true...i finally managed to curb my addiction to the beverage. Its by no means a small achievement for a guy who till recently couldn’t start his day without tea. Lately, I realized, how dependant I had become on the same. I finally made a resolution to limit my intake to 2 cups a day (from 4-5 cups).

Since, last week I haven’t had any…Trust me, it was really hard all this time..watching people drinking the “life-inducing” nectar throughout the day. Especially being in sales, I get offered tea almost 3-4 times a day at any prospective customer’s office. Its difficult to refuse. I run the risk of being “unsocial” but I have swallowed the feeling. Its not that ...i have become anti-tea…its just that I hate being addicted to something (except for the “net”)

I was so much into tea…that some time back I wrote some rhymes in respect to the beverage. Sharing the same here…

Tribute to the TEA

At the crack of dawn
When a new day is spawned
You get up a little weary
Your eyes..still a bit teary

But your pupils light up soon
When you hear the sound of spoon
The stirring of the morning cup
Makes sure that you’re alive & up

The first sip does a foreplay
The subsequent.. make your senses sway
You feel like having regained new life
A welcome treat from your nagging wife

Work is smooth… till its three
Your eyes, then go for a hunting spree
That bastard peon hasn’t yet arrived
Of the evening cup, you’ve been deprived

You return home from the daily grind
All drained out & having lost your mind
But then the familiar sound of spoon
Reassuringly makes you wanna croon….

“Cheers to those who discovered this beverage,
Your crazy life ….it does seem to leverage
A much-needed companion in your unending strifeAn undisputed substitute for –The Elixir of Life”
