You take a sip, then you take a slurp. A big one! Like a slurrrrrp. It's that kind of place.

You take your shoes off. You relax. You feel at home, and be real, and informal and yourself. It's that kind of place.

You make jokes here, Bad ones, Loud ones. Then, you make a new language. And make jokes in the new language. Even louder ones. It's that kind of place.

You take in the familiar whiff. Of desi food. Of food that brings everyone together. And of the long-forgotten kharis and maska chaskas. It's that kind of place.

You suggest the Chakri samosa with utmost pride, as if you yourself made it. You rave over the Ragi Khari that's hard to find elsewhere. You sip on Gur chai and think that it can't get better than this. Then you come back the next day to try the amazing Gulkand chai. It's that kind of place.

You leave pretence at the door. You switch to your authentic, silly, PJ-king, touché-queen mode. You find yourself here. Amidst the happy kind of time pass, you find it easy to be yourself. It's that kind of place.

Your jokes don't stop. Your conversations do not come with a full-stop. Your slurps go on and on, just like our chai. It's that kind of place.

Welcome to Tata Cha.
