Tea, and how has been its culture growing these years in India.

-


There cannot be a perfect recipe for making tea, because of the diversity in its culture. Everyone who is a tea lover has their own recipe. History tells us that tea had its long history originated in China, but the way its culture has grown in different parts of India has been phenomenal. In each and every city or even the small places all over India has its favorite Tea spot, where you can find the crowd talking about everyday life and simultaneously enjoying their tea. And hypothetically, most of the decisions are taken there.

Commercial production of tea was first introduced into India by the British, in an attempt to break the Chinese monopoly on tea. The British, using Chinese seeds, plus Chinese planting and cultivating techniques, launched a tea industry. Tea was originally only by highly civilized Indians; it was not until the 1950s that tea grew widely popular in India through a successful advertising campaign by the India Tea Board. However, commercial production of tea in India did not begin until the arrival of the British East India Company, at which point large tracts of land were converted for mass tea production.

When you will try to find out that there may be any time when people here do not prefer to drink tea? You will find all answers in the term "NO".  Whether it's morning, afternoon, evening, late-night, or midnight, one can ask for it anytime. For sure, Tea is one of the most preferable companions during traveling. We, Indians, think of tea as medicine. Whether we are having a headache or feeling lazy, whether we are having a bad day or recovering from tension, Tea is the best remedial for all these followed by paracetamol.


Now coming to my choices, I prefer to bubble it for a long time, only milk and Loose black tea. And you should add sugar, spices, etc, and other things at the last minute. It will help to preserve the essence of the ingredients highly. Also, try it in Kulhad, it adds extra essence of soil.

Myanmar: Democratic pillars fall apart

  This is not the first time when democracy had been murdered in Myanmar. So, it is unlikely to say that Myanmar is an example of Democracy. They gained their independence from the British Empire in 1948 and became a democratic nation. But it never lasted long in their history as, after 10 years in 1958, they were under military control for the first time. It lasted for nearly more than 50 years. Finally, the military dictatorship was officially dissolved in 2011, followed by a general election in 2010. Aung San Suu Kyi emerged as the leader of democratic Myanmar. But again 2021 was the year to be specially mentioned in the history of Myanmar. On February 1, 2021, the Myanmar military arrested the civilian leaders of the national and state governments and announced a one-year "state of emergency." The military arrested leader Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint, and several dozen other senior officials in early morning raids in the capital, Naypyidaw. The officials were in ...

4g restoration & barring mobile internet services cannot justify, Government's policy against democracy

"The democracy of India represents the world's biggest democracy." This statement is justified because of the Indian constitution, which provides every citizen of India with various kinds of freedom. Indians enjoy those freedoms which are protected by our constitution and have the power to dethrone any government after every five years. All these years, the three bodies Judiciary, Legislative and Executive have been deployed to protects the rights that we enjoy. Earlier Jammu and Kashmir were given special status according to Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which conferred them to have the power to have a separate constitution, a state flag, and autonomy over the internal administration of the state. The only reason behind the special status was the dispute between India and Pakistan, since 1947. On 5 August 2019, the government of India issued a Presidential Order making all the provisions of the Indian Constitution applicable to the state. In addition, the Jammu...

Supermarket: The Paradox of Choice

  Do you ever wonder that when you step out of a supermarket, the purchased item is the same as the list you thought before stepping in? "Two-third of what we buy in the supermarket we had no intention of buying," says various consumer experts. You need not get very much surprised because supermarkets are the ones who encourage you. From the point of your entrance to the place where you exit, every aspect of the store's layout is designed to stimulate shopping interests. When you enter a supermarket, you will find mostly fresh items near the entrance such as flowers, vegetables, milk, and their products. These are placed there because when you walk in and find something that smells great, and simultaneously builds the notion of 'fresh' that attracts us. Then we can find bakery products and grab-to-go items such as snacks, bottled water. These items get your salivary glands going and start feeling hungry and intended to buy more food items. In the middle of the sto...
