What is common between the eighty-year-old man sitting under a mango tree, the woman in a red saree, and the young boy waiting for the signal to turn green? A cup of chaya . . . What brings together a single mother, a talented artist, and a girl in a toxic relationship under one roof? A cup of chai . . . What binds the stories of a sex worker, a chai tapri, and women on a train? A cup of tea . . . Read as the author unfolds a world of stories, weaved together by life, love, death, and misery, brewed over her love for tea.
