Chai(Tea)


Can we make this our national drink?

Like...really?

Well. Bidyananda Barkakoty, chairman of the North Eastern Tea Association (in 2012) supported this motion.

*Searches how to do this*
*finds out that it will take some hard work*
*procrastinates*

Is there a better drink than chai? (whatever variation)

The cheapest version of this Amrit.

Chai embodies all that you need in a life partner. It soothes you up. It relieves your tension. You trust a chai like a dog and it will never cheat on you. Ergo, Together you are in a symbiotic relationship. BONUS: Sitting on a porch with a chai is a sensual experience.


Am I exaggerating? Hell no!!!


Every time I drink chai, it drowns my soul in warmth and tranquillity. I am at peace. Grass looks greener. All cats and dogs live in peace. Everything seems to be alright. I wish I could keep that moment forever but everything comes to an end.



Being from Assam, India, which is known for tea plantations, I am deeply engrossed in tea drinking. And therefore I really mean these things. 

My friend, Anirudh's phrase before a crucial exam describes this sentiment perfectly.

*Screw Earth science, let's go drink chai*

That's my mantra:

*Screw _______, let's go drink chai*

I wish I could inject chai into my veins. Even though I will die, at least I'll have chai within me.

Who made water the most important drink? Why can't chai substitute it? It has water too !!!

*A teacup a day keeps your problems away*

Rating: chastimasti/10.

Because any number given is a disgrace to this holy water.

Local Trains

This is what happens when something is too cheap. Can you see a train? I see a human centipede A train travel's quality depends on 3 factors: Space in the compartment Number of people Cheapness of ticket It seems while maximising 2 and 3, they completely forgot about 1...like completely. How is it physically possible to fit so many people into such small spaces? (No " that's what she said" jokes) The only other place I have seen so many living creatures in a single place is a bee-hive. It is amazing to see how people get perplexed by the sight of other passengers fit into an already Indian  filled train cabin (you know it's a quite a lot if it is Indian filled), it looks like they go into some other dimension... Who thought the gateway to some other dimension would be some local train station 40 km from Kolkata? It seriously feels like living in an armpit. We'd give the game "Plague Inc" a good run for their money by ac...

Chappals (Sandals)

Image
It's a bikini for your feet.   " Look at that *insert derogatory   terms  to demean feet* "                                 Chappals are comfortable to wear whilst keeping your feet dry and cool. However, it's more than that. They grow into your feet. In hot and humid (basically Indian) conditions, these dinguses are very suitable. No other accessory bonds with your body like a chappal, it's almost like a "mother hugging" your feet.  The oldie but goldie Chappals                                                           (Sidenote:National Footwear, eh?) Chappals: They are Cheap... (Because it consumes less material to make) comfortable to wear Healthy for your feet The only pro...

Bis-kut

Image
No, I refuse to spell it as "biscuit". You only get the emotion when you say bis-kut.  Without it, all evening snacks would be... I don't know what to say, I have never had just plain chai.... ever. Let's just say it is blasphemous to do so. Their coupling would topple the popularity of Viruksha, easily. (Although, not as cute) Saath janam taak ek saath But you can have bis-kut alone, any time of the day, anywhere in the world. It is sort of a universal food, (kind of like Maggi) and it takes no effort to make... because it is pre-baked. But unfortunately, they don't possess the power (or the nutritional value tbh) to be a meal (if you brave enough, it can be, not advised). I once had one entire packet of bis-kuts for dinner because there wasn't good food in the mess... My stomach disagreed with the choice of food, and a few hours later gave me a piece of its mind. My stomach after gulping 2 packets of dry mari-gold There is a clear cut met...
