"this coffee obsessed day and age, there rarely is any connoisuer of tea around anymore. Real tea that has as much effort put in as coffee in a cafe. Have you noticed how, when you ask for tea at a coffee shop, you get hot water with some assorted tea leaf thrown in, and some sugar? That INFURIATES me.
I love my tea especially when I'm chomping down on various Arab and Turkish sweets here in Melbourne; but they're such shitty tea makers that I brew some tea at home and bring it with me!
I love Indian Chai, in all its different forms. I'm learning a different recipe every now and then, from the different regions of India, Pakistan, Kashmir and Bangladesh. All those rich spices and high quality single origin tea brewed to perfection; just the right amount of organic milk and brown sugar, and you're transported to heaven.
Another favourite of mine is the Somali tea, with the Cardamom, Cinnamon and Cloves. I don't put as much sugar as other crazy Somali's are won't to do (hint: don't brew the tea so strongly, and you wont need that much!), and its quite a hit at home and with my Indian friend.
For the cup of normal tea, I have a selection between Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Russian Caravan and Darjeeling tea's that usually drink."
If u want to sum up Padisha-- read this above quote. Just from this quote, my impression of Padisha is simply- Padisha is someone of an advanced age, obviously a leisure drinking aficionado, particularly tea of course. (i am sorry--what does Padisha call thyself? connoisuer of tea in this day and age.)
Padisha is someone who loves thyself, There is this lazy, brooding aora eminating from Padisha that one is fearful to question it.Obviously, Padisha is a philosophy major, a closeted atheist.Russian literature are a particular favorite one will assume. A bit snobbish to a certain idealistic limit, --the sweetness of the heart and kindness of temprament prevents Padisha to go to my extreme of snobishness. 
In a nutshell -- Padisha - is a very ODD lazy 'creature'.. (Conincidentally--Padish used to use the name Odd here in the forums.)
