A sparkling ‘chai pe charcha’ today morning with complete random people …strangers. Tête-à-tête goes so well with this Indian beverage
I go for yoga early morning at the Sports Complex close to home. It’s a nice complex with greenery, nice play courts, gym, pool etc. They also have group classes for yoga, aerobics, dance.
So after my yoga class & walk, I sat to have a chai & charcha with self on a bench in the park area. Here come these two gentlemen with their teas & we started talking. Conversations sparked ..from introductions to health related …
Our yoga Guruji gets bhuna chanas for us daily. So I shared chanas and talks. I got to know from them that they both are marathon runners and they shared their experience of going all the way to Ladakh for a marathon run, stayed there for 9 days & had fun. Since am also keen to join such groups of marathon and walkathon, they shared details of such groups and also invited me to join the marathon group of DXR, Dwarka Express Runners. We had a nice short & informative chit chat about health, BMI. We exchanged contacts, group information & they ddnt let me pay for the tea.
There’s so much learning in random interactions. I got to learn so much from them & this reminded me of @TusharSuradkar ’chaipecharcha’ so this goes to you.
That’s the best Chai pe Charcha outcome I’ve come across recently @Shalz
Your Yoga Guru seems to be a caring gentleman, who brings healthy chana to munch on.
The intention of this charcha is to highlight and promote both small businesses from our everyday life and also spreading the word about Connect with strangers and friends who have not yet signed up on local guides @curatorofmemory
I hope Shalz has told the strangers about Connect and Maps as well.
This helps us build and grow our community
@TusharSuradkar yes our yoga guru gets us heeng and lemon mixed chanas to munch on daily and he also gets us an ayurvedic aushadhi kadha to drink. he is good.
And Yes I told these fellow gentlemen about Google maps, a bit about local guides and the community and I Requested them to let me click pictures of their tea cups if not their faces. ‘Then they asked me ki achha Ap influencer ho aur reviews bhi daalte ho’.
I will be connecting with the larger marathon group community too in due course.
It’s amazing how a simple cup of chai can spark new friendships and meaningful conversations. Thanks for sharing, 
he is good.
