"Morning Cup Of Tea"

The eyelids glimmer a little to gauge the time of the day. It is more than few hrs since the sun rose. I turn over to check the watch but can't find it in the heap of books. I have this habit of heaping the books on my bed. I arrange all the books in the shelf once in two months. Those which I take out to read don't return to the shelf till the two month cycle is due. This time the period was delayed and it's the sign of my laziness.

"It's 10.30". My roomy aware of my daily habit screams loud. I step out of the bed and step into the bathroom. 15 mins later I am ready for the first cup of the tea. But the stove is the last thing you should expect in the bachelors room(I'll say the same even for clean clothes, broom, curtains, shoe stand...) forget bout milk and all.This is typical bout the bachelor's room.You may not find the things which for most ppl are the common things and if you find those, they surely won't serve the common purpose. I'll elaborate. You wont find a cupboard for clothes. If you find one, it won't have clothes but books or something like it. Then where do the clothes go. Don't worry, there's a chair for that. The only study table is crowded with pens, ear buds, comb, wrist watch, glasses, yesterday's news paper,leftover biscuits, keys, last week movie tickets, practical journal, audio cassettes, calC, pencil leads and all that. One word for this... "Mess".Then where to study? Good question. There is a thing called bed to serve this purpose. There are two major advantages that I find of studying on the bed. You can rest the book against the bedside wall and ur hands are free to serve the purposes they are best suited for. The purpose may differ form person to person. second and the more important of the two is you can sleep any moment, just close your eyes.

But right now I don't want to sleep. All I want is just a cup of tea. I dive into the "Mess" and in not more than few seconds I emerge victorious with my bike key.Am I good or what? Did I mention I have a "Desh Ki Dhadkan" "Cruise the road feel the comfort" bike? I own a Splendor. Khub maje kiya hai maine uspe.And here are we on our next mission. "Morning Cup Of Tea". I have it every day. No matter what happens this period is never delayed and I don't even have to take any pills for that.
