But the first brew of the day is tea -- with adrak. I don't like the elaichi one though. One good thing about global brands is that they serve coffee and not coffee flavoured milk! <br /><br />there used to be a tea parlour in Daryaganj in the early 90s, which served the normal tea along with exotic ones. But as Purba says, I wouldn't go into a Wagh Bakri tea parlour :)zephyrhttp://cybernag.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-77145686935169639522011-10-28T01:57:36.966-07:002011-10-28T01:57:36.966-07:00roadside chai: one of the best flavors...

Read all pending posts now. What you say in...Alka,<br /><br />Read all pending posts now. What you say in Virtual Venom is true. There are persons who try to hide behind this mask to use unwanted languages but do not realise that in fact that show their own upbringing or culture. At times one may need to write under pseudo name for valid reasons but that does not give him or her right to use abuses or offensive language. Cheers brings out what I always tell those who drink that enjoy your drink but never let the drink enjoy you. Unfortunately many a persons not withstanding age or education or status fall prey to easy availability of drinks as we as society have not been able to inculcate sense of responsibility. Had a good laugh at Awards. It is a simple statement MAIN BHI KISSI SE KAM NAHIN by indulging in such wasteful show of Rath Yatra. The questions you raised about funds will no doubt cause a lot of discomfort in those organising this. Coffee or Tea, well it is individual's choice but I agree that it is what bring in more moolah to makers is what matters to them.<br /><br />Take careJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896075408610203350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-9786314241228410822011-10-26T03:48:46.981-07:002011-10-26T03:48:46.981-07:00I am crazy about tea..but i think i'll have to...I am crazy about tea..but i think i'll have to switch to coffee after few days when i'll join my company...<br /><br /><br />nowadays..i drink more than 10 cups of tea per day..lets see what happens in fututre :)<br /><br />stay connected!!!<br /><a href="http://sharanjayendra.com/blogs/" rel="nofollow">its me!!! sharan :)</a>its me!!! sharan :)http://sharanjayendra.com/blogs/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-41179350703089140542011-10-25T22:45:22.754-07:002011-10-25T22:45:22.754-07:00@Sritatsat...I am glad u liked it.
