wanna read?

just when you begin to think that the internet can give you ALL the knowledge and all the data...
and a pc with internet is all you need to read,
walk into a library...

one cuppa.....

infinitea!
the tea place to be.
the tea shop is really really well done.
can see on entering it how much effort has been put into setting up the place.
we saw a Large variety of teas on the menu. though we played safe by ordering our conventional 'masala chai'(which i must say was made well) i'm sure the place made all of them the way they ought to be.
the ambiance of the place is really really nice.
one whole wall done with casual black and white pictures of tea drinkers, looked amazing, magic of black and white exploited REALLY well.
one side done with a shelf displaying all different varieties of tea leaves, allowing people to pick up the kind they want in the quantity they want and also the packing they want it in :D
one side made to look like a bar, only thing being it displayed a 100 things related to tea!
did not go upto the first floor, so dont know how it was done, but am sure the creativity of the designer was not limited to the ground floor.
also the place was put up with posters all over... and all about tea... you have to be there to enjoy them.
the menu also has tit bits to complement the teas they serve.
can vouch for mozzarella fritters and some Italian pudding cake! slurp!
the place on the expensive side, but MAYBE its ok to indulge once in a blue moon.

make tea, not war!
