40. Caught in a Shootout
Hello, friends! It’s Friday, and I’m so happy to be back with another story from the tea gardens for all of you lovely people at FOM/Chai For Cancer.
There’s a song that comes to mind whenever I think about our life in the tea gardens. It’s called C’est La Vie and the refrain goes, ‘You Never Can Tell’.
You wake up on one of those gorgeous mornings to a world of gold and green with sunlight dancing on the tea bushes. You marvel at the deep silences, taking in lungfuls of sweet, pure air and think, ‘This is heaven’. And then something happens to make you realise it takes just a moment to shatter the idyll. Today’s story by Vijaya Sarmah is about one such incident.Read the story
Life can change forever in one second, so here’s to the spirit of optimism that takes us all through, and cheers to that marvellous cup of Indian tea that prepares us to face Life every morning!
See you all next week! Yeh vaada raha.

This segment is a result of our fruitful collaboration with Indian Chai Stories, a blog by Gowri Mohanakrishnan, a planter’s wife who’s been writing tea stories for many years and is also an active supporter of Chai for Cancer
Her stories come straight from the tea gardens of India and are best enjoyed with a cup of garam chai.
