Chai, just like golgappe, is a more of a personal experience than a drink. Everyone has it in their own ways, with different quirks in different styles. Here are some of the most common types of Chai-Lovers you’ll come across in Delhi. Which one are you?

1.Bhaiya, kulhad milega kya?

You’ll find this type browsing through tapris looking for the one with a kulhad option. ‘Cause Kulhad mein jo feels hain vo thermocol cup mein kahan!

2. The Biryani-Chai enthusiasts

Bhaiya adrak hai? Aur elaichi? Aur laung? Put all your ingredients for a biryani in their chai and they would absolutely love it.

3. Thodi aur pakao, abhi colour nahi aaya.

These lovers of kadak chai will give you the worst frown if their tea has any hint of white in it. Cook it till it’s almost black, anything less is not acceptable!

4. The Exhalers

“Sssssssss – Aaaaahhhhh!” Sounds familiar? Thye will deeply savour every sip and be loud and proud enough for the entire office to tell that someone is having their chai and lovin’ it!

5. Chai ke bina neend nahi khulti

I am not a morning person or a night person. I am a “jab chai milegi tabhi neend khulegi” type of person. Do you know what I mean?

6. The “waiting for it cool” kind

All we want to say to them is ki thanda hi peena hai to raita pi lo.

7. Chai ka garmi se kya relation hai?

Don’t you ever tell them it’s too hot for chai! Who ever told you chai is seasonal? It’s like oxygen, remember?
