Seema Cafe, Seema Center, Nellore

Who ever reads my Blog, I guess, would have this question, why did I name my Blog Seema-Cafe? No self respecting person from Nellore would ask me this question. Seema Cafe or Seema ceter is 'The-hangout' place for a Nellorian.

Its in the heart of Nellore, on Trunk road and serves awesome milky tea in the greasy dirty glasses. Sometimes I wonder what gives the tea there that tatse? The grease on the glasses? The unwashed saliva ? The cheap soap with which it was washed? or just the magic of that place? No idea, but anyways the tea tasting is a must for anyone visiting Nellore.

Seema Center is the place where all the barriers are collapsed, economic, social and no i wouldn't say gender. I haven't seen girls and women hanging out there. At least till three years ago, when I visited it last time. You could spot a rickshaw puller arguing about the subtle politics of Telagana moment with the sitting MLA. You could also see a big Landlord and a day labourer standing under same tree and drinking from the same set of greasy glasses discussing the newly released Chiranjeevi movie.

Seema center as whole comes up with a better election results prediction than any Delhi based Psephologist. During the election results time, a local paper would always make a reporter sit there and drink Tea and constantly report the latest predictions from under the tree near Seema Cafe.

I have lost touch with the crowd that hangs out near Seema center. Almost all of my Friends have moved of Nellore and only very few of them hang out there. i therefore dont hangout there that often, but I make it a point to go there when ever I am there and taste the milky tea in the greasy cup.

So my friends that's why I named my Blog Seema-Cafe, part nostalgia, part admiration and part yearning to be standing under the tree and to discuss the fine points of the climax in the latest Chiranjeevi release in Nellore.
