International Tea Day- Karamati chai!

It’s International Tea Day and we can’t keep calm about our favourite beverage, a garmagaram pyaali of chai!

 

Good times, bad times

Long tiring days at work

Be it exam stress

Or life, just being a roller coaster ride…

We can’t thank enough the humble tea that takes away our worries in just a sip.

 

So, here’s an ode to the evergreen chai! Sing along if you can…

 

Subah ki neend udani ho,

Ya exams mein der raat jagna ho,

Barsaat mein bhajiyon ka lutf uthana ho,

Ya office ke stress se chutkara paana ho,

Dil ko har baar bas ek hi thought sataye

Is anything else constant in this jeevan other than chai?

 

Wedding season ho,

Ya thand ka mausam ho,

Chai ki tapri se judhe yaar aur yaadein ho,

Ya ghar me bin bulaye mehmano ka aana jaana ho,

Dil ko har baar bas ek hi thought sataye

Is anything else constant in this jeevan other than chai?

 

Shaadi ki pehli meeting ho,

Ya ek lamba safar ho,

Fir chahe aaj ke avant-garde cuisine hi kyun na ho,

Jisme chai, chaar chaand laga raha ho,

Dil ko har baar bas ek hi thought sataye

Is anything else constant in this jeevan other than chai?

 

Rishton mein sweetness badhaye,

Apno ke beech ki kadwahat mitaye,

Sar dard chutkiyon mein bhagaye,

Pal bhar mein dil ko sukoon de jaaye,

Namumkin ko mumkin kar paaye,

Sirf ek cup garmagaram chai!

Aur dil ko har baar bas ek hi thought sataye

Is anything else constant in this jeevan other than chai?

 

PS: Koi agar pooche why are you so crazy about chai?

Keh dena, chai never goes out of fashion, mere bhai! ;)
