Welcome Vidya. I hope you will bring a new flavour to Ginger Chai. Infact, I already see that. And I hope you will be good competition to LR and “The” Mani Padma.
@vidya. Well pramathesh is right in that it certainly has a different flavour but @ pramathesh. We dont compete in a family,only compliment each other and gingerchai is one big family. Right Rajan? And whats with the leg pulling kiddo? Hamare ilaake mein hum sei panga? Maara jayega!
Bhaaiyyo me bhi competition hota hai. Of course, now you have to compete with your sister Vidya.
HAHA..
Good one!
