Chaiwala

Chaiwalas are mainly people who prepare, sell or serve Indian tea on streets or small roadside shops. They boil a mixture of water and milk, add tea leaves and then strain the tea into containers or a tea kettle.

A lot of chaiwala tend to come in from different parts of India and run small businesses in major cities. Chaiwalas usually serve tea in a small glasses or unglazed clay teacups (Kulhar) but in recent years they have started to serve tea in plastic cups. Traditionally chai was made in brass vessels; however that appears to be changing in some places.

The Indian prime minister Narendra Modi is a former chaiwala. He occasionally used to serve tea to the customers of his father's tea-stall outside the Vadnagar Railway Station. His chaiwala background was mocked by Mani Shankar Aiyar, a senior leader of the then ruling Congress Party.BJP seized on this opportunity to emphasize the humble background of Narendra Modi, by opening a number of "NaMo Teas Stalls" and organizing an public discussion campaign termed "Chai Pe Charcha".

I Remember

by: Shiloh

Waking up from the shock, still dying from the night before
So mad I can't speak, but I keep coming back for more
Did you see me there (looking back at you), did you even care?
All the things you said to me, every lie that I believed
I can't erase the memory, I remember
Cut so deep I can't forget, loving you is my regret
I thought that I was over it, but I remember (I remember)
I wanna shut it all out, I wish that this was all a dream (a distant memory)
I try so hard to forget but it keeps coming back to me (it's coming back to me)
I should leave I know (but I keep looking back) but I can't let go
All the things you said to me, every lie that I believed
I can't erase the memory, I remember
Cut so deep I can't forget, loving you is my regret
I thought that I was over it, but I remember (I remember)
I should've known you'd take it all away, shoulda known you'd break my heart again
I should just forget it all but I remember
All the things you said to me, every lie that I believed
I can't erase the memory, I remember
Cut so deep I can't forget, loving you is my regret
