Tea time in school...
Tea time in school...Tea time was after sports. We played hard six days a week for over one hour. And even if was raining or freezing. So food was important [indeed the most important thing I can remember]
To provide us with adequate nourishment, the school provided us at tea time with –
A bun and two biscuits or
Four biscuits or
Upma [a sort of hardish salty porridge]
Poha, beaten rice [quantity was about 22 grams]
Peanuts [I’m not kidding –22 grams of peanuts, nothing else]
And tea with the consistency of hot water with a tinge of sepia [slightly sweet].
We therefore behaved liked wild animals who were permanently starved.
Some of us patient chaps [cause it was coooold and we were in shorts and t shirt at tea time] waited for everyone to leave so that we can have the remains of the tea. Which we literally inhaled. It was hot and… well. It was hot. That was all that mattered.
be happy, be simple, walk lightly, sing sweetly... be who u are... wat else can there be!!!
