71. Just One Drink
Hello, all you lovely people at CFC/FOM. Friday is my favourite day of the week since I get to re-visit ‘Indian Chai Stories’ – that wonderful collection of stories from tea gardens by over seventy writers from seven countries!
What shall it be today? A light-hearted one? Something thought provoking? A ghost story, or an adventure? Where shall we head today, Assam, Dooars, Darjeeling, the Nilgiris or further away?
It’s going to be Assam and I’m sharing a story that made me laugh out loud early in the morning. Let’s join Indi Khanna as he takes us to Upper Assam to have ‘Just One Drink’ with a Burra Saab.
We’ll need to get our own favourite drink before we sit down with Indi and his host – have you got your cup of tea? Right, so have I. Off we go, then! I will be back next Friday with another tea-time treat for all of us. Yeh vaada raha!
Till then, cheers!

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
