Description
Growing up to see my grand mother drink tea from soup bowls. I can still hear her shout out loud “kottarala chaya kondu va ” which means bring tea in the bowl. On my last visit to my brothers home at London. Early morning I come down to make some tea. I see my little nephew Aniq drinking tea from a bowl just like how my grand mother used to. Our generation’s of love for tea, seriously is something. My eyes welled with happy tears, I just hugged him tight. He had a surprised look not knowing why he got the hug for. He’s not seen my grand mother but he’s got her habit in him, god does has his way of reminding us about our long lost loved ones. Well family is a connection to life, a tie to the past and a road to the future. I realised this with this mighty tea. My mind works perfect only through food .
