Romance
A CUP OF TEA
Perhaps the deepest love of your life wasn't formed through grand gestures, costly dates, or flawless moments but through little things instead.
With a cup of tea made in the morning,
a fight over something stupid
late night walks,
When you're going through a bad day ask if you've reached and at that moment gently reach out for mine.
A Cup of Tea is the story of Arjun and Meera, two ordinary people who meet when they are young and gradually become an important part of each other's lives.
Arjun, as he grows up, is a boy from the middle class, working to meet the expectations of his family at the same time as he looks for a sense of who he wants to be, whereas Meera grows up by learning how to guard her heart but is frightened of losing the people she loves.
What starts off as a normal meeting gradually develops into a friendship, with moments of teasing, secret looks, spontaneous trips, constant conversations and a kind of love which neither of them knows exactly how to call. They misinterpret each other and break up, only to eventually find their way back again.
Since real love doesn't have to be beautiful, it can be messy. You might say the wrong thing at times and pride may well get in the way. There are instances when two people who love each other deeply end up hurting one another.
But between Arjun and Meera something more than romance had been built.
They've built a life.
A tale of growing up with another person, a tale concerning rowing on through the years and discovering that love cannot be judged by how long someone remains, a story involving first love, second chances, marriage, loss, memory and a kind of love which in fact doesn't end.
