Do You Think I'm Crazy?
Submitted by Mulla Nasruddin on Sun, 07/11/2010 - 00:44
Mulla Nasruddin had been placed in a mental hospital, for treatment. After a few weeks, a friend visited him. "How are you going on?" he asked.
"Oh, just fine," said the Mulla.
"That's good," his friend said. "Guess you will be coming back to your home soon?"
"WHAT!" said Nasruddin. "I SHOULD LEAVE A FINE COMFORTABLE HOUSE LIKE THIS WITH A SWIMMING POOL AND FREE MEALS TO COME TO MY OWN DIRTY HOUSE WITH A MAD WIFE TO LIVE WITH? YOU MUST THINK I AM CRAZY!"

A Taste of Darjeeling in Goa
Submitted by Sahaj on Sun, 03/07/2010 - 22:46
This was a most pleasant surprise to find in Candolim a shop fully dedicated to the wonder of Darjeeling.
Spring, summer and autumn flushes are of course waiting you in the Shangrila Boutique. But you can find there also some very special green Darjeeling tea.
I particularly appreciate the rare and exquisite Muscatel tea.
Contact address coming soon.

Tea is Good for your Health
Submitted by Sahaj on Wed, 10/07/2009 - 21:19
Tea’s good for your heart, your stomach, even your teeth – it’s one of the few natural sources of fluoride
Better to be deprived of food for three days, than of tea for one
Chinese saying
We all know about the tea’s indisputable ability to wake up, perk up, refresh, even soothe, comfort and relax. But did you know the legend behind this wonderful attribute?

Tea and Meditation

Tea: A Spiritual Experience
All the Buddhist masters have been drinking tea, it has been their discovery. It was Bodhidharma who discovered tea. The name 'tea' comes from the mountain Tha in China, where Bodhidharma was meditating. And the name has remained the same in different languages ... just slight changes. In Hindi it is chai, in Marathi it is cha, in Chinese it is tha, in English it has become tea. But a thousand masters have never denied tea as something unspiritual.
