Curious Case of Tea Cup...

3:23 AM Posted by iSachin 4 comments
As I mentioned in my last blog so here I am, Give you a food for thought or fast food (not good for health) for thought. I always says this in my blogs but I stopped it recently after one of my friends advice. I have to write it the sentence is 'I wanted to write on this subject for long time' ha ha ha....

Few days back I had seen the movie called 'Curious case of benjamin button'. You might think that there is something related to Benjamin Button and Tea Cup. You are absolutely right there, but most common this is 'Curious case'. Some of you might have seen this movie for those who haven't it goes like this.

The Plot of the Movie - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any mans life can be.

The Plot of the Movie - The Curious Case of Tea Cup
Start - According to legend, tea was first discovered by the Chinese emperor and inventor Shennong in 2737 BCE. It is said that the emperor liked his drinking water boiled before he drank it so it would be clean, so that is what his servants did. One day, on a trip to a distant region, he and his army stopped to rest. A servant began boiling water for him to drink, and a dead leaf from the wild tea bush fell into the water. It turned a brownish color, but it was unnoticed and presented to the emperor anyway. The emperor drank it and found it very refreshing, and cha (tea) was born.

Info about Lead Character- A tea cup is just a tea cup. Not to some. Tea cups can and are sometimes the center point of the tea presentation. And depending what culture you are from dictates your like or dislike of a perticular Cup.

Anybody interested in the actual history can see following blog

Story Line
Our humble Tea Cup born in don't know which year, Started journey from the kitchens of the Emperors to Tea vendors outside our offices. In last 1-2 years it has started aging backwards like benjamin button, he is shrinking day by day. In few years time, I think we need to buy 60-90 ml shots of it. I think that day is not far because Today Itself I have seen smallest cup till now.



You might think is why is this happening, why these cups are getting smaller and smaller day by day. If u ask to government they would say that internationally they are shrinking so as in India. If you ask Shard pawar then he would blame the rains. If you ask to Rainman, he would blame to Global Warming...

It was fascinating to know the someone had time to write the blog for Tea Cups and someone (me) had time to use that link..ha ha ha..

You may say that whats the relation between Tea cup, Benjamin Button and The Government. There is strange relationship, Reduction in the size, Size of the Tea Cup and Inflation which is responsible which only government can only Handle(or pretend to be doing it).

Everyday the inflation is reaching new heights. I had never heard the prices of Onion at 100Rs+ or never imagined that it would reach there. Once I was in the market with my Grand Father, at that time we sold onion's at 0.50 paisa a kilo. Its been long back, but not that long. Point I want to make it here is why are we accepting these unilateral pricing of the commodities.

It happened today only when I went to by a fruit in 10Rs, it has cut to half of the price. I dont know how come as a consumer we accept this. There has to be some mechanism where some product should be fixed as a weight or size. Below that they shouldn't be approved otherwise that day wont be far where size of the cup will become so small that we would need to order it in ml like 30, 60 or 90 ha haha ha...

Only reason this is happening because farmers are not getting the prices they deserve, they keep on doing hard work year after year. These middlemen are robbing the farmers and people by there unholy grip on the markets. Suicide of the farmers are prime example of there profit making, cause farmer is not able to sustain it primary job i.e. farming. If this is not stopped at a point by the government, budget of the kitchen will surely collapse one day. We would again move back to the days before independence where there was too much poverty. Poverty where they are earning money but that money wont be able to support there nourishment or daily needs.

Once thing I noticed is, the irresponsible behavior of the people because if they stop to buy these commodities to those prices. They wont go up, but we tend to care about ourselves because we buy because we can afford. We think at least this extra cash will go to most deserved and that is farmer. But this never happens, we need to stop buying the things which are seen as unreasonable and should resists the price increase.

One of the prime reason for Egyption unrest was the price rise, its not they are very poor but they are not able to afford. They import most of the things from the outside, in India we are blessed with the fertile soid and hardworking farmer. This is going to change in few years because of population growth, economic growth and Climate change. We need to change our habbits and start asking question to government as to why this is happening.

Price increase in most of the cases not related to the rains, its the middlemen. We need to ask the question to the government, as to what they are doing about it. Because if dont do it now, then it might be very late for many who dont knwo whom to ask.

Let ask the question to the people or atleast spread the awareness that this unholy nexus between middlemen and politicians. Need to stop electing the people who are not listening to us and drag the govenrment who is not taking care of its people.

Yes, Its true. Your friend has started this year. You had peace of mind for some days but its over now. So start getting troubled or bombarded by my relevant or irrelevant, clever or dumb views..ha ha ha...

I know that many of you don't like to read but if u r wasting sometime for watching the video's on the youtube, then you can waste some more time on FreeSoul (my blog..hahaha). Let it be, Actually I was kind of busy..for some reasons I couldn't start to write but its been started so start praying that you wont get the link of my blog. ha ha ha ha.....

You all have noticed that its be unusually cool this year. I am not saying that I have spent 40-50 years here but whatever 10 years I have been here, this was the coldest. May be because I was getting awake at 5:30 am on Sunday's for cricket practice. Still I never felt such cold, but I think its ok to have such cold otherwise we wont appreciate the warmth of Feb and harshness of Summer..ha ha ha ... oblivious line..

[Some place in Pune ....ha ha ha]

I was thinking of publishing this blog when there was sever cold and we all were enjoying it with bit of running nose..ha ha ha. You might say that why this blog now when everything was over and its not that artistic also, here is the reason. Actually if you people (1-2) might remember that I wrote about the monsoon so I thought that Its my duty to write about this season. I want to keep my writing balance..ha ha ha

Two day back only when I was going for office, I noticed lot of leaves falling as on the same road which I m plying for last few month. Suddenly I realized that Winter is over, now we all would notice lot of debris on the road.

Whatever but It was good that winter is over and now we can look forward for the monsoon. I deliberately skipped summer cause I never wanted to have that season since my school day. At least we could have 2 months holiday, Now you all know its not possible. Lets get ready for Hot summer so that we can enjoy the rains again..

One thing I forgot to remind you, I have started to write so watch out..ha ha ha ..
