In India don't know about somewhere. Chai is the most common thing and popular drink that we indian usually consume before eating after eating while taking or just for timepass no matter what.
But sometimes I noticed that over "A Cup Of Tea"
many unimaginable things happened.
Like dealing or discussing something important related to anything. Or sometimes a big fight or misunderstanding in relation as well in any case.
This is just my opinion on "Chai", and many more interesting things happens over a cup of Tea 🍵.
