What will be the value of Tea without the presence of Tea leaves?

Each day I stand next to my mom in the kitchen while she prepares food & beverages for the entire family. I have understood that one vegetable or cereal can be prepared in various different ways. Similarly, Tea can be made in different ways. Tea without water, tea without sugar, tea without milk—but never a Tea without Tea leaves. Right? Right.

I don’t have tea so for me, Maa experiments with Milk. Plain Milk, Milk with rose syrup, Milk with Chocolate powder, Milk with ice cream, but never Milk without Milk.

The value of Tea lies in the Tea leaves and the value of Milk lies in itself.

Today Man’s value is determined by his bank balance, the possession he owns, the post or power he holds. In this materialistic age we have forgotten that the value of Man is determined by his Human factor. Human without Humanity equals to not a Human for sure. We must have reached the moon but we have not yet covered the distance between our so-called self and our inner-self.

It’s time we start determining our real value rather than losing our identity behind the huge bundles of money and the big assets we own.
