#TeaTheGreatDivider
Ever looked at the simple cup of ‘tea’ as the greatest divider, destroyer and disintegrator of ‘private’ Indian society?

While in public ‘tea’ single handedly unites people at tea

2/
#TeaTheGreatDivider stalls, bus stops, markets, footpaths, outside offices and under a tree, the same tea is biggest ‘weapon’ to show a person his ‘place’ much lower than yours.

Tea to house-helps in the morning is made in one of following ways:

3/ #TeaTheGreatDivider

-Your leftover in sieve brewed tea leaves hard boiled with water, milk and sugar.
Or
-same above with half or quarter tea spoon of fresh tea leaves
Or
-special cheap tea brought for house-helps

In any case the households tea is ‘out of bounds’.

Divider-Destroyer-Disintegrator
-As if above was not much, a separate cup.
-At times a separate utensil
-A separate steel glass for water

Now let me explain to you the COST of this ‘Tea’ as Divider-Destroyer-Disintegrator

5/ #TeaTheGreatDivider
-Cheap tea at Rs 300/- kg and good tea (Taj Mahal type) 700/- kg.
-One kg prepares 333 cups of tea
-For one month cost comes to 90 paise per cup or Rs 2.10 per cup
-Assuming, one buys ‘cheap’ tea, saving is Rs 1.20 per cup or Rs 36/- per month.

6/ #TeaTheGreatDivider

To SAVE this Rs 36/- you permit the house help to berate you, your upper class attitude, making them feel like scum and creating divide.

This is across all economic classes, religions, castes and human beings in our Indian society.

7/LAST #TeaTheGreatDivider
If it is not Rs 36/- saving, what is it?

The division starts each day from the first cup of tea.

Hate me now for writing this😂The least one can do is have just one tea at home and use fresh tea leaves for each cup regardless of who is drinking it.
