Now I drink tea or coffee only to enjoy the drink once in a while and not because I need it. I enjoy tea only when there is somebody to drink with me. If nobody is there, then I wait for my servant maid to come so that I can make for both of us. When my daughter comes home for the holidays, I ask her "Do you want to have some tea" and invariably she would say "Yes" and after enjoying the drink together, I would advise her not to drink it regularly!! Whatever said and done, tea is unique. You can make it hot or cold, you can enjoy it in different flavours and undoubtedly it brings people close!!<BR/><BR/>Ek cup chai Ho Jai!!Please!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10219591922181187184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-52060171192222349102009-03-31T12:58:00.000+08:002009-03-31T12:58:00.000+08:00You don't drink tea :0Viv doesn't drink tea :0Your...You don't drink tea :0<BR/><BR/>Viv doesn't drink tea :0<BR/><BR/>Your dad doesn't drink tea :0<BR/><BR/>Your mom is a tea addict :) Same pinch<BR/><BR/>I gave up milk and started tea when I was about 2 yrs old :P ab toh I am a chai ki tanki :P Kabhi bhi, kahi bhi, kaisi bhi (:() kitni bhi chai pee jaate hai hum..Urvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233527784703974120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-63044130518057199992009-03-31T07:26:00.000+08:002009-03-31T07:26:00.000+08:00Ah now you made me desperate for a masala chai... ...Ah now you made me desperate for a masala chai...
