RELIGION DIVIDES TEA UNITES - A Short Story

After giving a fair boil, he started filtering that liquid into small white plastic cups.  His eyes were keenly observing that dribble but he left his ears on the words, bouncing from radio. The news was terribly painful, about attacks, killings and religion. He glanced at the customers… waiting for their tea-cups and then he read his sign board… his heart sank.

“Khan Bhaiya, One cup…Strong one” someone said.

He sighed with great relief and started serving that divine drink with a thought “Is there any problem that tea can’t resolve."
