Search for veg puffs and the man parked in a corner of National Tea Centre

It was the search for veg puffs that led me to different tea centres across the length and breadth of the town. The veg puffs come in the range of Rs 5, 7.50, 8 and 10. Those coming with 10 may appear a bit steep but not that steep fare at which the bhojanalaya next to a park in co'or dished out the thali for. A steep 70 rs was the price and with most of the preparations dripping in oil. While some compatriots decided to look for other options, i was game for it given no substantial fill had gone inside since morning. As for the meals the settled rate is 40 with one guy suggesting that somewhere 300 metres from municipal office the meals can be tried for Rs 20! The meals have the appropriate incentive given the unlimited serving of different vegetables. Even rice is plentiful and enough to see you take long strides for the next six to seven hours.
The tea has been the necessary ingredient to infuse the requisite spring to your movement and at one place the morning cuppa was strong for others to park for several hours. I, for one, had been visiting the Tea Centre with the precise aim to to get a new look to the outlook that lay in tatters if i had denied myself the cuppa for over six hours. Seated on the bench, i scanned through the proceedings inside the centre (the joint goes by the name National Tea Centre) and saw the assembled crowd at peace with itself. One such occasion, which was more of an aberration, the arguments between two guys had a spill over effect. The argumentative picture had more characters to it and at one stage it threatened to spill over to the road running adjacent to it. But that did not happen and it also spared commoners like us from putting our heart and soul to the exercise underway. But what could not be ignored in entirety were the attempts of some to park themselves in the corner bench of this joint and ruminate over things which even the pay and use toilets are not found to be conducive. First let's break the unnerving situations that these pay and use structures are confronted with before attempting to break the code of the ruminating individuals in the corner of tea centres.

Well extending the online and awakening debate on the pay and use toilets and how they have turned centres of excellence as far as parking of individuals who are fired with immense imagination after their stay there for a period visible and known to them and not to the custodians of these prime properties seated outside. Well the stay is elaborate and the activities tied to nature. Apart from the natural course of action underway the prime users of such facilities are fascinated by the prospects that they facilitate you to brood beyond fret-and-fume bait.
Here the users who are naturally those who have been thrown in the turmoil of daily existence given the loos that they wish to visit next to their place of stay and yet prevented from doing so as it is always occupied by someone preoccupied with innovative thougths. So to let the innovations take their shape, the users move to the pay and use option to make optimum use of them - and herein the innovation thinking is at its prime best by prime users. Among users, the prime user scan the walls and read deep into the script etched there and do their bit to give a new colour. Once all colour and shape activities are over, the prime user steps out and yells to the assembled crowd - the look on their faces suggest they have been waiting for ages to get inside - and departs with the promise that he would be back soon as and when the natural laws of existence demand.
As for the individuals parked in the corner bench of tea centres, they are deep in thoughts after scanning the walls of tea centres lashed with messages and beverages on offer. The messages are neither on the heat the political firmament is facing nor from the heroes of the film industry who would have visited the tea centre and left the indelible imprint.

These messages are more of a guidance. Guidance towards the places where pay and use structures abound and how they can make the best use of them after having spent the quality time in tea centres. The quality time that these qualified and yet to engage in employment are being asked to spend. From the quality mind at work, the qualified individual makes a rush to these pay and use structures only to find the rush to be no different. He waits for the opportune moment to get inside. Once inside, the innovative mind is siezed with innovative agenda.
So for all those thronging the tea centres/joints, there is a rider before you step in : Cells and cell-geared inmates are barred from using such centres as innovations best happen when the body from top to toe is not in the kissing distance of any instrument that mankind would have not devised for its slow-and-yet-happening
destruction. That's the reason why all those who throng such centres and bench themselves in a corner are devoid of cells as intimacy with no strings attached is at its best.
