Fall Sunset! Ilsan, S.Korea.It's been really long....long....before i wrote in here...predictions of life never let you win...some attack you in a good kind of a bad way...and others in a bad way really...(i've saved this draft for long and i really don't know if i wrote those lines..!!)
I was being stuck with the first one...the one i was longing for...finally descended upon me...! yes..i am accepted in Animation mentor and going on the roller coaster ride of CLASS 1.
I thought i would not be able to write back..update and keep a copy of myself preserved here anymore. But the more i'm into AM, the more i needed some thing to breath out. Nothing can come between me and this animating passion, but hey!! my mind needs to be refreshed to get back right??
So, to reflect upon things i like and cut my guilt that i'm not social anymore..i should be posting things back here..
Well this time..i thought i would post about a long pending quest "Green tea". Starting from today i would be posting a series of green teas that i enjoy at home. The history of me drinking green tea dates to...well...i think long..long...ok i'm there....just a few years back..he he...when we landed in Seoul,South Korea. We lived there until a person should; to love the local culture, food, people, their lives and appreciate it after initial resists.
My first introduction to green tea was through "nok cha" a Korean version of tea blended with roasted barley and rice.(I don't think it is rice...a'm i sure????...well something that tasted like rice and plant based...i was told its all plant......'cause you may never know...in Korea seafood is Vegeteraian!!)
Seoul, on a cold winter day!After i habituated it to keep myself warm in my cold winter office hours. I started looking for variations and was introduced to a whole world of aromas and tastes. I loved a Korean orange marmalade,that was mixed with hot water and drank during cold winters. Hot mushroom cha, Ginseng cha and the variations were endless.
No offences, but still i do not find anything new, interesting or diversifying in this land that's twice far from my homeland as Korea was.
When we travel to someplace new, we are first struck with how to preserve ourselves, second how to preserve us more and then in that process we would have mingled half way into the new culture....and a new YOU!!
Cherry blossoms in Spring! Ilsan, S.Korea.That happened to us in Korea..in the process of being Indian and eating Indian and thinking Indian we were left with nice warm memories(and some not so nice too.... especially with fruit vendors.....that's a different story for a different time!!!)
OK now to the main post..GREEN TEA!!
....drum rolls.....
