THE CUP OF TAE

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

This is not a usual novel, because I have never read a novel completely — not in English, not even in my own language. What I know best is cinema and scripts, so this book is more like a fantasy of freedom. Here, you will see a fantasy world, but told in a realistic way. The main character is Skyblue — a butterfly, the ghost of a 26-year-old Indian boy. The strange part is, no human can see Skyblue. Yet this world is never quiet; it speaks of politics, mistakes, and even the smallest details of life. I am a typical Kerala guy, and in every chapter there is a cup of tea — sometimes sweet, sometimes plain boiled water. But always, the tea remains a witness. This is not a fantasy world like Disney’s. It is a world that talks about realities. It talks about politics. And it carries one ethic I hold strongly: I will never give more importance to humans alone. In my craft, every being matters — sometimes even more than humans.

Author Note

This is not a usual novel.

To be honest, I don’t even know what a proper novel looks like. I have never finished one in my own language, the few I touched in English were only the scripts of cinema.That is the truth.

So please don’t expect discipline here. Don’t expect structure or rules.

This is something else.

I am a man who failed everywhere. Failed in studies. Failed in work. Failed in love. At last, only one thing remained: art.

For me, art is not an entertainment. It is the last piece of self-respect I gift myself before leaving this world.

And Tea , it is the only ritual that stayed with me every day, in joy and in failure. Tea was there when my sister protected me like a mother , When my father sat silently with his broken hopes , When my friends betrayed me, and even when I was alone. Tea was always present , like a witness

Don’t expect a normal novel. If you are a regular reader, close this now. Because I am not that writer. To be honest ,

I don’t even want to be.

This is the story of my own ghost. Not the kind made to scare you. This is different. We are going down a road where no ghost walked before.

Tea will appear in every chapter. Because without tea this story does not exist.

Welcome to the world of a cup with Boiled water, sugar, and leafs. Maybe milk too
