An evening .of …2003…I came back home after playing with my friend …it was summer vacation .Mumma offered tea …that I rejected with the expression “urrrrrr noooooooooo”As a desi parent she again forced …and then i got dissappear from her sight for a while till this ” chai leela” gets end.An evening of 2012 ….sister asked to make me chai …I said okey as she was pragnent …and was craving a lot …and it was her 4th cup .I made 5th cup pouring expression of hate to that baverage “chai ”An evening of 2017 ….I was on the trip with my friends …They offered me a limited menu which was “the combination of chai and poha “And my expression was again not so easy …but this time I totally avoided the offering …of chai .An evning of 2023 ,sitting in my sun facing balcony to avoid the thoughts of some real and not so bearable situation …Nothing was making me into peace untill I saw the sunset and asked my maid to make a tea …sudden urge to watch the sunset while holding the cup of tea .

It was calm and peacefull ,felt like this is the stability . It was a gift of myself as a “Time” to sit with myself with my calm thoughts embracing the ambience ,nature and surrounding as an execuse of that “chai ” that i used to hate ….I understood the fact …that it wasnt a tea or “chai ki pyali ” .It was my mind and thought that needed to realise to have time for my self for a while ….
And make me feeel about the value of present …
That chai ki Pyali tought me over the years …
Sit with your self …thoughts ,no thoughts ,blank ,confused ,saturated …
That chai ki pyali tought me ..value of time
Which is not about running or rushing
Some times it is better to sit for some time and relax .
So take a pledge that “never ever skip life for any event ,never skip your “chai ki pyali”.
