Mom and Chai

Well! This is the first time I am writing my own blog, I am a bit confused about how to start. I am here sitting with my laptop on my lap, and a empty tea cup aside me after having my third morning Chai. So I just thought why not I write about Chai itself.

Chai... The word itself takes me to ectstacy feeling, since I am a very unhealthy tea lover. There were times I use to drink 10 tea per day. Hmm.. lots of grey hair came into picture, so I stopped.

The cup, the heat, and the smoke that goes out of the cup all takes me to a whole new mood, and that too a chai with mom is wonderful. One cup of chai could do a lot of magic to your mind.

Whenever I am angry or sad or depressed, I hear mom saying to me these words,,'Would you have tea'??! And then I smile at mom, she smiles back at me. We kind of resonate with each other when it comes to tea. We know its not just about the tea, its about the time we spend with each other, sitting there relaxing in a sofa talking chilling out.

For many years I was a tea lover without my consciousness. I can say that just like an other disease or habit, tea addition is also hereditary. First in that list was my grandfather. I still remember those days when my grandfather used to take me to the tea shop in our area daily morning sharp at 6 AM. I mean sharp at 6 AM.. There was not even a single day that we were late to the tea shop. Yes he could have made it at home itself, but it wasn't just about that one tea. It was about the people he used to meet daily at the tea shop. I dont know about the rest of the world, but when it comes to India, morning Chai is like a feast or a workout session for almost all of the people. We consider it very seriously, especially the old people.

Then comes my mom, who is also a insane tea lover. She drinks tea irrespective of the time of the day, irrespective of how busy she is...irrespective of any mood.

Either Caffeine or Dopamine, we dont know about it , despite of the chemicals which trigger us to get addicted to tea, it is surely a good element in our lives which is the most common habit across the world. Despite being different from each other, there are some common things which keeps the world connected, and I am damn sure that Tea is the most most common of them.
