Locked Up!
From sickness to death, from bleeding noses to bleeding hearts, they braved much for our freedom. Locked up in the lockdown, reflecting upon a another day and age, when confinement was a matter of principle and the larger cause eclipsed all personal interests. A short throwback in time to remind us and our children to cherish, and never take for granted, the freedom we enjoy.

the story of tea by ms mullika ravimur
Tea Tales
Do you know that 300 years ago, nobody in India drank TEA? Yet now, millions begin their day with a piping hot cup. Chorus of 'chai garam' echo through wagons of the Indian Railways; while colleagues become friends over cutting chai; and camomile tea becomes the Zen calming tool. Ever thought of the story of this ubiquitous beverage? Believe it or not, TEA changed the world! So glad to resume my #historymatters talks with the fascinating HISTORY OF TEA this Sunday, 26 Sep 21 at 1900 hrs IST
