Habits are born to Needs1. Nothing illustrates that more effectively than the existence of , well – Taprichai.
Taprichai, like all real-time Tapris, was born to Needs. Where there is a need for hot chai there will spring a Tapri. Similarly a need to vent out frustrations gave birth to Taprichai. And the existence of frustrations lead to a flourishing Tapri. A flourishing tapri, where its owners (therapists, in this case) got into the habit of recycling content. Tapris do that, you know? They recycle chai-patti; dolling out fresh tea only on demand2 or when all the tea is consumed.
But Taprichai is different. Once its content was consumed3 it just wound up. It simply packed its bags and went away. Never to come back the next day4.
Tapris don't do this. By nature, Tapris are sporting enterprises. They don't serve with a smile, but as long as there is need for Tea, they doll out tea. They don't say, we will give tea as long as there is milk or as long as we have chai-patti. If on a good day they do run out of milk, a tapri-kid will run along and get some from the neighouring dairy. But it will not leave its chai-thirsty customers standing high (on the pavement) and dry (of tea!).
Taprichai did just that. It left. Not high, but surely dry. When Taprichai wound up, it was at an all time low. It's content recycling plant had begun to stink. The tea was an unappreciative dirty-brown, the chai-patti had lost its flavour, the sugar was no longer sweetening and the milk was spoiling under the mid-day sun. Moreover, whatever little it produced (if and when it produced) simply had no takers. The Tapri drowned in its own milk. The owners in dire need of therapy themselves!
