चाय का फार्मूला

दूध चीनी रोक के !
चाय पत्ती ठोक के !!


(This translates to, less sugar and milk, and stronger tea)


Thats the key to a good regular tea !!!

Funny how people react to these lines when I speak them every time someone is preparing tea for me... :)


This is a wonderful ice breaker too !!!


next time you are sitting on a tea stall and feeling out of place... just speak this to the chai wala and jump start your conversation !!!

Listening to Manna Dey on Raaga today !!! lovely

  10. I love the tea from the little tea stalls.. while riding and traveling.. those are life savers..
