I'M ABOUT TO ASK U A QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT IN MY LIFE....CHAI....i love tea or as we like to call it chai, OR CHA....in fact when i think of all my happy childhood memories chai was always around in some form or another, the kind look on my nani's face peering down at her when i asked her for the six trillionth time where we came from in the old country....my dad taking a huge gulp from his 4th morning cup in response to my fourth morning request for adequate money for clothes....my mum offering to bribe me for a mother-daughter chat by making a pot of heavy "desi" chai...with cooked milk, rather than it's weaker relative, the english cuppa....she was horrified when i converted from desi to english....she thought it was a sign of things to come...having friends and family over and always being asked to make tea for dinner parties of 35....well, i remember that fondly now, but as an over-intellecutal teenager, it was a gross waste of my talent and intellect...being put on CHAI DUTY...i tried to rebel, i was on coffee for a week, switched back, went for instant cappuccino, as part of my trendier capital perk (friends) lifestyle...switched back....green tea, great for ur skin and health....can't stand it....so it's not as if i wasn't open to new things, i gave them a fair chance, but nothing, NOTHING compares to my cuppa...I LOVE THEE, CUPPA....SO GO ON, GET UP AND MAKE URSELF A CUP, ask ur friends and family for one...and then come back and write ur comments.....
