Time: 4.00 pm
Place: Kolkata – Office
Tired after thinking too much I decided it was tea time. Okay so my routine goes like this: American in the morning and English post lunch. As in I have coffee in the mornings and tea in the evenings. Going by this routine I walk deep in thought to the pantry, dutifully pick a paper cup, take two bags, place them carefully in the cup (two because I like it strong), place it under the nozzle of the vending machine and press the ‘Coffee’ button!
I realize what I have done after the cup is half full. All done, I think, I bring the cup to my nostrils – it does not smell harmful. I did not want to waste the ‘thing’ and was also inquisitive, very inquisitive on how this concoction would taste and as a result take a sip and……… yuck! Straight it went to the trash can!
