Happiness is ‘Sipping Kullard Chai on cold
winter evenings’.
I remember
those days when I used to make trips to Rajasthan by train. Somewhere at the
stations, on cold winter early mornings; we used to drink hot tea in kullard (clay
cups). It had its unique taste, maybe it was the clay or was it spices, I am
not sure, but the memory of that tea lingered on for days.
That memory
came alive during my recent trip to Jaipur. At the wedding celebration, the
chaiwallah stood there, dressed up in traditional ethnic clothes, in the open lawn; with pot of tea steaming over the bed
of coals and it was served to all in clay cups.
Was the
taste same?
I am not
sure. But the idea of having tea in clay cups on cold winter evenings did stir
up the magical emotions.
One more
reason to believe that going to Jaipur to experience and revive my childhood
memories was all worth it.
So here I am, with the project of ‘100 Happy Days’I
am posting pictures each day here on my blog then sharing the link on my page
on FB too. You can enjoy my work either here or on my page at FB at Pushee’s World
