Tea in NOIDA

Was in NOIDA last week for some training in a Bankers Training College. The first session went on fine and I was really thirsty and the tea break came in as a welcome break - or so I would think.

I wanted sugarless tea, milk for which was in a separate tea pot. Well I poured it in a cup and got confused. After pouring half a cup of milk, I was still able to see the bottom of the cup. Well then, as I was desperate, I just grabbed two tea bags and had a lukewarm tea "with milk".

I just wondered how they made this "milk". Either they must have added a lot of water to some milk or poured a cup of milk to the water boiler. I think both were wrong, they just cleaned up a vessel where they store milk and poured water in it. Vessel is cleaned and milk is ready - talk of recycling. The ultimate idea.

My kid is 10-15 days old

Had been to N Delhi last week. While returning, started up a conversation with this taxi driver, Nazir. He was nice - very sharp features. I thought if he had the appropriate beard he may look like a mental Aurangzeb, that I have come to picture Aurangzeb with. He said he was from Jahanabad - perhaps, a descendant of Aurangzeb - who knows.

He looked more like 25, but then said he was driving in Delhi for the past 15 years. He had two kids and the second one "10 to 15 days old" as he put it.

He gave me his number and I am sure I will be calling him whenever I visit Delhi.

Thanks, Nazir and yes, name of the new kid is Samir.
