Lines in the sand
There’s an unseen, thin border here. Invisible it may be, but unnoticed it is not. This border parallels the lines on the political map of India, seperating one people from the other. The haves are firmly and wholly on one side, the havenots outside, looking in. Not surprising, in a world of political correctness and a righteously indignant society turning good samaritans to aid and abett the socially inept, denied classes, that there are voices and arms raised against the continued existence of such a divisive, sectarian and partisan system that indulges in petty parochialism and regionalism. Yet it exists and strangely has support from the ruling elite and the ruled vulgars.
This border, this dividing line has a name – the Filter Coffee Line. It begins in Madras and ends there.

No Coffee Day, or horrors, Starbucks, will ever supplant filter coffee, it’s got nothing to do with age in fact the younger filter coffee aficionados are more vocal and committed. FC for ever !!

There’s also another line, that exists in Bengal. Pure Darjeeling vs masala tea cooked in milk. So far Darjeeling has won.
