The First Post~Cheers!

Hello all you people! Hope everything is going smooth... Now that I have started a new blog session, it does not mean that I have changed my writing style or anything else. This blog has been started with the intentions of not just giving "my take on life" but something which has more mass appeal...Thus the blog is aptly (?) named Cutting chai!
Chai traces its origin to our neighbour (read China, not Pakistan)...aur jo apne neighbour ka, woh apna hi samajna, right? And to top it all, how can we forget to Indianise everything we copy...okay borrow! No, we don't like the green rubbish they serve in mainland china, or any other fancy-shancy chinese restaurant, we love masala chai aka. the CTC variety of tea. Some can chalao with the normal green tea, but I'm sure we don't consider drinking tea as an art form, do we? So here, in a country of tea lovers, a cutting chai is always (hopefully) welcome, I believe. I mean, we never say no to a cutting chai, coz we know its not just the tea, there is more to it than that hot liquid. Its more of a symbolic thing, this cutting represents the ability we have to share with our friends and colleagues and loved ones everything that is dear to us... Its the thing we do, that makes acquaintances friends and friends family.
So here is my Cutting chai, Cheers to good times!
