Chai..चाय (by चायबाज़ Apurva)


Chai..चाय, originally uploaded by The Wandering Hermit .

Nothing like sweet cloying milk tea or Chai after a rainy day in the open.

{Strange Brew at a dingy chai shop at the roadhead in Mana Village above the shrine of Badrinath, Uttarakhand.}




What is a Chai Ki Dukaan which does not have chai ki chuskies from all over ! So this is a start of a series of pictures that will have chai ki photu that I come across

Special thanks to Apurva for allowing me to blog this ! and the thought of having a series like this comes from a fellow blogger and a brilliant photographer Archana

  1. Brilliant initiative.

    A great traveller you all.

    Cannot start a day without tea. And there is NO experience comparable to drinking the tea described here.

    bro the title is not to be taken literally...

    Chai Ki dukaan is a place where people sit talk discuss and that is what my thought was when I gave it this name... It was not supposed to dedicated to Chai or Anything :)... However I feel that the name should be justified ( which I think you were looking forward to ) and hence this initiative :)

    # Subbu..
    super :)

    jaldi..

    # Deepu...
    next post is that one then :)
