Tea-rror

The Tea-rrific city in the south which is the Toast of the MNCs, now finds itself in a Jam. The Biryani's own city is now Sandwich-ed between issues.

The reason? Suddenly, many people have started demanding that they want Tea and would not do with anything else. Its not only in the city, but also in the nearby Tea favoring districts as well.

Why this sudden affinity towards Tea? Demand for Tea is not something new, but was always there. In fact, the last few elections were fought over the Tea cause. However, the people's verdict was not overwhelmingly in favor of having Tea.

The Tea drinkers have suddenly felt that they are being marginalized by the Coffee drinkers from the fertile Coast. They feel that the Tea shops are slowly being bought over and converted in to Coffee shops. The Tea drinkers feel oppressed and marginalized, in their own words.

The VRS (Volunteer Rowdy Services) a non-existent party claims that it is the leading light for the Tea drinkers. They claim that they are fighting for the Tea cause and want to free the Tea drinking oppressed people from the sweep of the Coastal tide. The VRS party chief Mr.VCR (Volunteer Chief Rxxxx - Sorry I cannot expand this for obvious reasons) claimed that he will hit the fast lane in support of the Tea cause. He must have hit the gas a bit hard, as the statistics point out that he is finding himself in the middle of a "Student's Tea-distribution".

The Bossmania University students (or are they goons under the guise of students?) went on a rampage and ended up giving the city an impression of stale Biryani. They attacked the Malls and adjoining businesses, because the malls had coffee shops and the businesses were it's patrons. Scared out of their wits (or should I say Shxxs), the other shops downed their shutters in a domino-effect and fled without having their afternoon Tea. When the fuel pumps closed shop, the local news channels jumped in to fill the void by adding fuel to the fire and unnecessarily Tea-rrorizing the city's residents.

The State and the Central Governments are not able to clearly decide, if they want to meet with the demands of the Tea drinkers. They feel that  they cannot side with the Tea drinkers and there by incurring the wrath of the Coffee growers who ultimately lubricate the engines of the money-making political machinery.

I don't see any point in this whole issue. Coffee shops also serve Tea. Tea shops also serve Coffee. How many know this? How does it matter, as to who owns the shop? Let it be a Coffee drinker or a Tea drinker. What the people are going to get ultimately is a raw deal and a pissed up brew. How does it matter as to who pisses it up?

  1. When everyone was talking about the Andhra issue I was really wondering what it could be (result of not following Indian politics), now I understand what it is... There is no The End for this conflict between Tea and Coffee shop owners..
