“A cup of tea shared with a friend is happiness tasted and time well spent!” – Anonymous.
When I remember my best times at home, tea with the family was one of those. That one cup of tea made by my mom was magical. And now, when I am at the hostel, I have a new family, a bunch of friends who love to share the essence of home with a cup of tea. Many people swear by coffee too, but in my case, it is tea. We have a marvelous group of people who love tea, and share some space together, bonding over tea.
It has not been just about sharing a cup – it is much more than that. It is always said that we need no big things to enjoy with our friends. having tea is one of those.
Living far from the family, you might not have the time to share your regrets, fallacies and pain. Add to it classes from morning to evening, moving from one class to another. Tea gives a break in this rushed life. Plus, you can open your heart to the friends, that makes everything so much better.
Life at an engineering college is full of technical things, formulae, and being on a screen when in your room. Where is the scope for your dreams, journeys and imaginations? Even if surrounded with a green beauty and encompassed with nature’s peace (I have a beautiful college campus), it’s only when you share a cup of tea, that you can indulge in imagination and talk with your friends.
Living the life independently is not easy. Till your school, you were lucky to have so many people to take decisions and support you, but here at last you depend on yourself. There is always a no to failure and a spark of hope that we friends create for one another, with a cup of tea.
At exam time, you will find the canteens full, everyone with calculators, books and a bunch of notes. When it’s a break, it is time to with share study woes with tea – ‘Kitna hua?’ (How much is done?) to which one always replies, ‘Abhi toh shuru bhi nahin hua…’ (Haven’t even started yet!)
You will always find the people with great vision. Tea gives you an excuse to be part of their group, to listen to some of their vision, and to share some of yours. For us, it is the best social networking. We would love to share authors and books at this time, or politics. What about you?
When bored with the regular stuff, to have a hangout with tea is always a good idea.

The plight of Indian women's mental health often goes unnoticed. Co-founders Vivek Satya Mitram and Pooja Priyamvada conceived the idea of the Bharat Dialogues Women & Mental Health Summit to address this.
Trigger Warning: This contains descriptions of mental health trauma and suicide, and may be triggering for survivors.
Author’s note: The language and phraseology used are not the author’s words but the terms and narrative popularly used for people living with mental illnesses, and may feel non-inclusive. It is merely for putting our point across better.
I have seen how horrifying was the treatment given to those with mental illness.
People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
