My Favorite Timings of the Day



(The power is out, so why not blog?)

Chai is one of my favorite things about working in India. If I go to the office, a nice lady or an office boy comes around at 11 and brings me a tiny cup with scalding, sweet chai. They come back and quietly pick up the cup. The same thing happens some time during the 3 o'clock hour, too.

If Liz and I go to a meeting, we almost always get a wee cup of chai AND some cookies.

I love India.


The chai in India is MUCH better than the chai you get at home. The tea is much stronger, and it's sweetened with sugar and not syrup (or whatever they sweeten chai with these days).

I'm considering opening chats and chai in Seattle. I just have to learn how to make purri.
