KR Shifa Mujahid, is a good Muslim (!) who hides the culture shock of ISIS (Islamic state of Iraq and Syria) Tea and coffee culture varies from place to place; even Japan has a culture as French do have. Because in he oldens days Iran was so cold and the sugar was sold as a hard candy, which has to be cut with knife, they made cubes and the cold cube will Make the tea cold as cold one shrinks the heat; so they held the cube in between the teeth and drank the hot (made hot with charcoal again and again) And today Iran has nice cubes also other than cady type also as we have jaggery cubes which has to be bitten and will make your coffee cold , if you take hot drinks coffee etc in Paramakudi. Is this culture shock? What Govalu? Tea culture in Iran Although Iran is not from the significant producers of tea in the world, it is one of the tea-loving countries since tea has been woven into the fabric of culture in this country. In every single house, either in a very small village or in a big crowded city in Iran, you will get to hear the sound of steamed water rushing out a kettle or samovar that signifies the gently boiling water is waiting to be poured into the red-flowered China teapot over the fresh loose black tea leaves. Samovar is originally imported from Russia, and the word “samovar” means to cook itself. Tea culture in Iran and that of Russia and Turkey have a lot in common. However, there are specific features regarding tea culture that you won’t be able to find anywhere other than Iran. Tea is ready to be served in almost all the houses. Its aroma can be smelled everywhere from the stalls and stores in the streets to significant company boardrooms in Iran. It’s the first thing people offer their guests. What Is Iranian Tea Etiquette? Iranians start the day with a freshly brewed cup of tea sweetened with one or two spoons of sugar served with their breakfast. They believe that the taste of sweet tea is in great harmony with bread and cheese. Iranians story of drinking tea is not limited to mornings with breakfast only; they drink tea at work, after their meals at home, or at night before sleep. The color, temperature, strength, and taste of tea are very much influential in formal gatherings and when served for specific guests. In many houses, it’s a cultural etiquette to pour your tea back into the teapot after you pour it into a cup for the first time. People believe this action is needed to adjust the color evenly around the teapot or let it steep a bit longer if needed. Before taking the teacups to the guests, the host checks the tone, color, and strength of tea by a single glance behind the shining glass. Traditionally, tea was served in thin, wasted glasses on a saucer in tea houses. This particular set has played a significant role in Persian people’s tea etiquette. Iranians love to have their tea while it’s scalding. Some of them use their deep saucers to take every single sip on the edge of being scalding. If not in a thin-wasted glass, people serve tea in tea cups, but never in a mug. To brew fresh loose-tea, Iranians either use the method of putting the teapot on a kettle or a samovar. However, one of the popular ways of brewing tea, mainly when people spend their holidays in the hands of dear Mother Nature, is to brew it over the coals or use a charcoal samovar when you’re at home. It grants a pleasant smoky taste to your tea that soothes the nerves. Tea Flavors in Iran Do you like to know what flavors Iranians add to their black tea? Some people choose to drink their tea with no sweeteners, and they try adding subtle flavors instead. Now, if you’re up to taste Iranians favorite flavors, it can be difficult for you to choose only one. Try as many flavors as you can! The taste of black tea combined with a cardamom pod, a cinnamon stick, a few damask rose petals, or a saffron thread is among the most popular favors in Iran. You can’t smell the fresh scent of bitter orange blossoms in Shiraz and do not have a craving for a cup of tea flavored with dried bitter orange flowers.

Sweetening Tea in Iran Although some people like the bitterness behind the reddish-brown color of tea, many rather sweetening their tea. Do you like to know how Iranians would sweeten their cup of tea? Sugar is the most probable answer when talking about your cup of tea for breakfast time. In the old days, people used to buy a sugar loaf or two and break them into small cubes themselves. The conventional way for Iranians to sweeten their tea is to take sugar cubes with their tea. If you choose to use sugar cubes, you’d have to know that it’s a rule of tea etiquette in Iran to put a sugar cube in your mouth and let it melt on your tongue while you take every single sip of your tea. Many elders are used to dipping their sugar cube in their cup of tea before putting it into their mouth. To sweeten your tea, you have a variety of choices, and you can drink it with saffron rock candies (Nabât), dates, dried mulberries, raisins, or other types of sweets. Iranian Tea Houses and Customs Do you have any idea what’s unique about tea houses in Iran? As tea became more popular in Iran, many tea houses appeared in the main streets, and people from different social classes with different ages rushed in them. People gather in tea houses and talk while they take multiple cups of tea. Tea-houses are traditionally designed in conventional form and architecture. In those ancient ones dating back to Qajar Era, walls are painted with the famous epic stories of Shahnameh since raconteurs used to retell the verses and stories of Shahnameh amusingly in the old times. Many tea houses are set in several Takhts instead of tables. Takht is a type of long bench covered with rugs and pillows for you to lay down on it easily. In tea houses of Iran, your teacup is going to be filled with tea as many times as you wish for. It is a traditional custom to turn your glass upside down to indicate that you want no more tea. Traditional tea-houses are popular among both foreign and local tourists. When Do Iranians Drink Tea? As mentioned before, Iranians drink their first cup of tea when they get up in the morning. And then, through the whole day, the samovar is on, and tea is ready to be served. In ceremonies, special occasions and parties, after meals, or while watching TV, tea is always there with Iranian people. Take a trip to northern Iran, and witness the lovely process of picking fresh tea leaves in the middle of spring. You can meet the hard-working people in these fields, and enjoy drinking fresh tea with them. Don’t forget to visit Iran National Tea Museum located on the Chai hill in Lahijan. The mausoleum of Haj Mohammad Mirza Kashef Al-Saltaneh, who is known as the father of tea in Iran is located at the center of this museum. Here, you would be able to see interesting documents regarding remarkable efforts of Kashef Al-Saltaneh, and different types of samovars, cups, and teapots belonging to different ancient eras. So do present right picture; on the contrary Muslim women loitering in Bandra without Hijab and face cover could be a culture shock and punished in Iran Iraq etc. Hezbollah is a force doing such.

Selected quora answers generally interesting only are included .Still they need not be 100% correct answers. Compiled and posted by R. Gopala Krishnan, 80, former ITS on 19-12-2023. Q1 What are some of the greatest examples of presence of mind? A1 Priya Rajput, BE from Jabalpur Engineering College4y My friend owns a flat in Delhi which he gave on rent. My friend was quite fed-up of his tenant as he had not paid his rents for 2 months. Everytime My friend visted his flat, there was a lock on the door. And he wasn't receiving calls either. On asking the watchman he came to know that he visits the flat once or twice in a week. Fed-up with all this he came up with an idea. What he did is ,he locked another lock on the top of tenant lock. Somewhat like this. Next, when the tenant visited the flat he immediately called my friend ,he apologized for the delay and soon my friend received his rent. My note- With most tenants, this locking works. Not with all. Q2 Can you tell me an example -to never give up, never fear from anyone A2 Ayush Sahani,6h A long story - 26 years ago, a girl , 17 , gets married. A year later she gives birth to a girl and to another 4 years later. One day her husband comes home drunk at night, beats her. Both her daughters get frightened and then this repeats every other day. Finally, the day comes when she gathers all her courage and makes a decision to leave that man forever for the sake of her daughters and then she never turns back. The struggle doesn't end here. She is 26 years old, she has 2 daughters and that concerns her how will she be able to give them a good future. But she doesn't lose hope, she finds a work, she works at 4–5 place whole day, she manages to give good education to her daughters and now in present, her elder daughter works at a decent company in Gurugram and the younger one is in a medical college. She didn't lose hope, she didn't fear from anyone, she did her best on her own and she is still continuing. She sacrificed her life so that her daughters could stand on their own feet and will not face what she has faced. This the story of my mom and her story teaches me to never give up, never fear from anyone. Her story motivates me to study and do more to make her proud to give her everything she needs Q3 What is the biggest culture shock you have ever faced? A3 Shifa Mujahid, Software Engineer (2017–present)6y It was when I went to Iran. I was at a hotel and having breakfast. I poured some tea and the sugar was nowhere to be found. So I asked the waiter for it and was waiting for crushed sugar that I’ve been using my whole life. Instead, he came back with small cubes of sugar like these. So I took one and put it in my cup of tea and started stirring to dissolve it. But unfortunately, my tea got cold and the sugar cube was still intact. And that’s when someone told me that I was supposed to keep the cube in my mouth and just sip my tea over it. I never got used to that and was never given crushed sugar for my tea even when I asked for it explicitly. I don’t know if this is something that’s specific to Iran but I was shocked when I found out that sugar goes directly in your mouth and not in your tea. Loved the visit to Iran btw, it’s a great place. My note- Whether it is of quality or not- Some restaurant in Chennai gives sugar cubes, but adding in hot coffee, it dissolves while coffee is hot. I have used sugar cubes. Q3 Are there any awesome facts about the brain that might not be widely known? A3 Hansel Sapkota, Lived in Nepal (2005–2020)21h 3% of your brain is just water, which means that if you become more than 2% dehydrated, you could suffer a loss of attention, cognitive abilities, and memory. In fact, you can improve your memory if you choose to eat seafood regularly. The fatty acids in these foods improve the part of the brain that deals with memory. The brain cannot feel pain. This allows neurosurgeons to investigate areas inside the brain while patients are awake. They can receive real-time information from each patient, allowing them to identify specific regions, such as speech or movement. ***During sleep, the body produces a hormone that prevents you from getting up and realizing your dreams. Five minutes after a dream, the body has already forgotten half of it and ten minutes later, 90% of the memory has disappeared. My note- ***But certain bits of dream remains in memory for decades. The human brain has the capacity to generate approximately 23 watts of energy when awake. Of the total blood and oxygen produced in our body, the brain receives 20%. The blood vessels present in the brain have a length of almost 160,000 kilometers. In early pregnancy, neurons develop at the alarming rate of 250,000 per minute. Q3 Have you ever been outsmarted by a kid? A3 Prabhat Mishra, Answered a lot of survey questions!1y This kid in our village is very chatty and naughty. He is the son of our milkman. He doesn't study at home, so his father sends him to my father to study every evening. My father asked me to keep an eye on him as he read his newspaper one evening. Kid: Why are you teaching me? Me: Because I'm told to. Kid: But you don't know anything. Me: No. I know everything. Kid: Okay, tell me how far my school is from here. Me: (said an arbitrary number) Kid: Mmm. Tell me, how far is Haripur (a neighbouring village)? Me: (said an arbitrary number again) He asked a lot of questions like this, and I kept giving random answers, which he accepted because he didn't know the answers himself. Kid: But I'm sure you don't know everything. That kid in my school knows everything. Me: Who? He paused for a moment before turning to face me and said, "I thought you claimed you knew everything. You don't know him?" I was stumped. I couldn't help but smile as I conceded defeat. Q4 Can you write something dark and deep? A4 Ayush Atreya, A rat race athlete. Jul 18 Once I was watching an interview of shahrukh khan. The interviewer asked him something about his struggles or how he reached where he is right now. His reply struck to me so hard that I remember his exact wording till date. If I say you that whatever I achieved, is because of my hard work. I am either making a fool of you or of myself. Definitely, I worked hard. But Much much more than my hardwork, these three thing played a major role. Being at the right place, with right people and at the right time. Perhaps many won't agree with him. But we all know that there are thousands of people who are much more talented, smart. They are still roaming in mumbai with portfolio in thier hand or doing small work in serials. So the question is, what exactly decides one's success? Many successful people will say that they succeed just on their hard work and persistence and whatnot. Deep down we all know there is something that is not in our control.Perhaps that's what people call LUCK. Q5 What are some of the most awesome psychological facts?
