“MY FAVORITE "TEA"CHER” by Deepa B

“What is an ideal morning” Deepa, thinking, after opening her eyes and turning off the alarm at 5.30 a.m. On one hand, she didn’t feel like getting up as it was a weekend, but on the other hand it filled her mind with excitement as her taste buds were becoming restless to touch that flavourful cup of tea.

Submitted to Contest #94

Sometimes I wonder why people call me stubborn? Is it because I am born that way or because of my sun sign-Taurus or because I have inherited qualities from my father?
