How we got our tea!

February 6, 2012

Varun: (At around 8.00 PM) Amma, I waan tea.. I want tea..

Me: Tea? Now? Ippo poi kutti pasanga yaaravadhu tea sapuduvaala? Will any child have tea at this hour?

Varun: (thinks for a full 5 seconds before saying): Naan auto driver sir. Enakku tea kudunga! Am an auto-driver sir. Can you get me a tea?

Dad: (Rotfl-ing): Adho, tea-shop ange irukku sir (and points at a corner near a door which usually transforms into the destination of our choice, like Mambalam, Beach, Mumbai, or even a road-side tea-stall).

Our man’s face does not betray the disappointment of not having got a real cuppa-chai.. but still goes with the chimerical hot-kadak-chai and even makes a similar payment of 5 rupees after fumbling in his jeans pocket in all earnestness for a few seconds before pulling out the change!

      I’m an irresponsible amma who gives 3 Roses Athimathuram tea to her 2-3 yr old :) Specially if he has cold/cough with little tulasi & sukku.. Very convenient when we travel! No kaapi though..

    Where did he see an autodriver drinking tea at 8 in the night?! LoL. This guy is sure going places, I tell you! :D

      I think he thinks auto drivers are entitled to tea anytime, anywhere:) Our recent trip to Ooty must’ve reinforced his belief ;-)
