61. Trains and Toddlers
Hello, all you lovely people at CFC/FOM. This week’s post from Indian Chai Stories is sure to take you all on a nostalgia trip. Yes, all of you, even if you have never visited a tea garden in your life.
Gumi Malhotra’s story takes us back to that time when we travelled across the country by train: children, old folks and young folks. Now it would be delightful, dear reader, if you too could write down something that you remember about a train journey from ‘those days’.
But first, you need to get yourself a cup of tea quickly! Our train is about to pull out of the station, and we don’t want to miss Gumi’s story, do we?
Thank you, Gumi, this is such a lovely read.
Cheers to the spirit of Indian tea, and cheers to all those who drink it!
I’ll be back next Friday with another tea-time read for you. Yeh vaada raha!
Oh, and Happy Holidays!!

Indian Chai Stories
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.
So go ahead #raiseyourcup #DrinkToACause
