thela aur thel

Was invited to do an essay for Blogbharti, for their Spotlight series.

Here it is.

And since it is related to chai, here are the rest of the links as well.

Chai 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Comments:

By not having just "chai" as main fabric of the article you have raised significant issues about the common man in India.. Nice read!

It should be a trilogy:

Thela, thel aur _thelui_ (_thelua_)

The last one a synonym for 'vella' in DelhiSpeak

This is my turf. The turf I must stay rooted in. Ignored turf has a way of rising up and swallowing 'civilization'.
