NAMMA CHAAA IN UTTARA KARNATAKA. 

People in North karnataka may be considered as "Brand ambassadors" Of tea of all times. (I may be ranked among toppers list....!!! 😂) 

In North karnataka region "Tea is to life like blood is to body". In any situation good or bad, mood on or mood off, birth or death, reason or no reason, happy or sad, breakup or pickups, people just wait for a chance to have it, there are people who even consume tea before going to bed(with intention of getting up early I guess!!!) 

The craze of tea around this region is so that the region can be changed from "North karnataka to Chai karnataka"

Amidst all this we need to appreciate "chai" for the quality of culminating altogether, despite of differences  man has created in the name of caste, creed, region, colour, politics. 

It is that  attribute of it's to self abnegate in order to bring pleasure in the lives of others.Hence it is accepted as "Universal Drink".

Let's try to share a little happiness, a little love, a little care, a little concern, a little support over a little cup of TEA. 

Hoping to have a cup of chaa with you once. 

Punch Time:Drinking bournvita, horlicks and calling oneself desi is a hypocrisy, drink TEA and be #DESI.
