Arun Khamesra once asked me whether I ordered tea or coffee when I eat out, and I had answered, "Depends". After complaining that I answered every question with a "depends", he asked me to elaborate on my answer. I explained, "Good tea is better than good coffee, but bad tea is worse than bad coffee." So what I ordered depends on whether I am expecting the place the serve good or bad tea.
I had almost given up drinking tea in office because the tea made out of tea-bags is bad tea. In the new office, however, we have a vending machine that serves out so-called "ready-made" tea, as against "tea-bag tea" that we got in the old office. Not only is it ready-made, it's cardamom tea. Hence I have fallen into habit of regularly drinking in office. And sometimes I am lucky to even get Good-day biscuits along with it [which, if no one's around, I dip in the teacup. yuck if are looking, but yummy to taste! :-)]. Yesterday I was a bit disappointed (and angry) that they had replaced the vendoning machine with a new one that didn't have Cardamom Tea. Today I was relieved to see a chit of paper pasted on one of the options that said "Cardamom Tea". And to my great delight, the one below it said "Ginger Tea"! wow!! That's the ultimate!! I am so glad. Who cares how much I draw at the end of the month?!
Seven days in a train!
From Moscow to Vladivostok, the Rossiya covers more than 9,200 kms in seven days!
"Along the way through Siberia the scenery ranges from mundane to spectacular, but it is always interesting. Like staring at a fire, looking out of a train window can keep one occupied for hours and prove to be very relaxing. The overworked and overstressed members of our modern economy should consider a long train ride as a recuperative experience".
The experience on world's longest train ride should be surely interesting. Though seven days in a train does seem to be intimidating, I think the train would be made comfortable for such a journey, like Palace on Wheels or Deccan Odyssey (not sure whether it is running now).
