Hi all !
Howdy people? Are you enjoying the sips? I hope you all are having a nice time lounging and enjoying the fare or menu out here.
Well I had something interesting to present to you today. No it’s not an article or a satire, no not even a fiction, rather it’s an… err… a little bit of mild self promotion if you don’t mind. I hope we are allowed to do that, aren’t we?
You are sitting through? Great! Thanks. I will take that as yes!
So as I was saying, Ginger Chai have now some new members and these new Gingibloggers have brought a completely new dimension to Ginger Chai by complimenting the old guard with their fresh out look. And so to give a new meaning to word Ginger Chai with the fresh new team and our fresh offering and flavours, we have assigned each of the members a particular flavour to go with their respective style of writings. So the offerings in our menu are:
We have two new entrants as two flavours of green tea.
Pranjal with his beautifully executed book review and Ali Zaffer rocking Ginger chai with his thought ful and sensitive debut. We are now waiting for more from them to see how our Green teas mature into.
Vidya Sury – She entered with a bang offering some tang and twang. Well of course she is our lemon tea, who gave us the much needed respite with her comic stories.
Pramathesh borkotoky- Our Assam Tea, promoting brand Assam at every possible opportunity.
Gayatri- who gave a completely new perspective to blogging with her caricatures and graphics. Always effervescent always bubbly, well what else can she be, but bubble tea. Yes she is our own fruity – bubble tea.
Anney Thomas- our latest crowd puller, her musings have given a fresh new meaning to fun and laughter in Ginger Chai. She is cool, she is spicy, she is sweet and to top it she is exotic, so what else can she be other than the Apple flavoured, cinnamon iced tea.
Sanjiv Vakharia- our chief contributor in the lifestyle category, the ever elusive, shy guy– just like the Darjeeling tea, the aroma and flavour felt, but rarely seen (slightly ironical)
Usha Amudan- Fresh and sweet, with her different perspectives and some of her health related concerns, now in China- well no doubt she is appropriate as our Jasmine Tea.
Ambi- Ah ! our Black tea- strong, good for your (spiritual) health, a bit bitter and strong on your taste buds , but a great rejuvenator and something to perk you up instantly.
Radha Chandran- Soft, soothing, engulfing you in a peaceful and tranquil state of mind. She has inspired many with her writings. She is of course our Chamomile tea.
Pumpkin Longshanks- Now what can I say about a pumpkin and that too with long shanks. Well that was a joke. But that is preciously the point, he is as weird, his writings as different as his name. Exclusive, distinctive and of course you have to develop a special taste for his ultra different works. And so, Earl Grey flavour for our dear ole Pumpkin longshanks.
Manipadma- Hmm! difficult to comment for obvious reasons. Unconventional thinking and attempts at other topics assigns her the flavour- long island ice tea. She may give you a heady feeling at times but mostly she may leave you with a nasty hangover.
Our founder Duo – Lakshmi Rajan and Divya. Both complimenting each other perfectly, they dared to translate their dreams into reality with Ginger Chai . Divya with her simple, girl next door style, instantly connecting with her readers, yet with a zing – just like cardamom tea and Rajan, the essence of Ginger chai, taking it to new heights with his earnest sincere and lucid write ups. A man who knows how to touch the right chords- anyday – just like the ever popular ginger tea. Together Divya and Rajan came to form the perfect masala mix, with their eclectic mix of authors.
So here we are –the gingibloggers before you-with our new flavours- our relentless pursuit to regale you , to enthrall you, to amuse you, to laugh with you, to wipe away your tears, to fight your cause with the power of words and to create a beautiful world for you in Ginger chai . Just You, Me and We – happily ever after.
Love always,
Team GC.

Thanks!
Thanks Mohan !!!
such wonderful comments fuels us to walk the extra miles !!
Somehow I don’t like the name Gingibloggers.
Assam Tea is a strong Black Tea known for its body, briskness, malty flavor, and strong, bright color. It gives you a good start to your day so it is also known as breakfast tea. Assam Tea however does not promote Assam.
Go fry some one else’s brains. .:-)
ha ha ha ROTFL! It flavour just gets better!
but it is here to stay :beauty: and we are developing a complete set of Gingastic vocabulary :razzmad: you better get used to it , what say Mani ?
Too cool Mani gr8 analysis.bubble tea :evilgrin:

When i googled to find out what exactly is bubble tea it sounded exotic flavour !!!
Lovely…enjoying all flavours of Chai…keep them coming…
I have become a chai addict now

U made me love tea after all that writing and varieties:)
Wow! really? if only I had known. By the way congrats on yur big day
Ya some of the varieties I never knew till Mani wrote about it … and i was amazed by the sheer range
Ah, I am suitably guilty-happy-thrilled-inspired – all at once. Just the impetus I needed to become a regular multi-flavor instead of just lemon tea.
mmmm. I like lemon tea.
I shall continue to er….bang, tang and twang asap.
That will be just great. we are missing your action here
And we will be thrilled to relish umpteen cup of your lemon tea here and see more variants of it
The over all ingredient and flavor of Ginger Chai is mind blowing, keep steaming!
Thank you Sir. we will try to give our best.
Thank you sir!!!
I am much more into coffee than tea although coffee kick-starts my colon and… too much detail!
Anyway, I love coffee! Earl Grey is a nice flavor although it takes some getting used to. Nice article though!
Such august company.
you all write so well.The variety in the posts is something that makes me click the url every week.
Cheers,
GB
i never knew there were these many flavors of tea…
waise i’ll start ‘brewing’ more once my semester exams are over, can’t say though which flavor will i evolve to :struggle:
This chai is highly addictive! But I don’t want no rehab!
Well said Saurabh
Am a Tea Fanatic. Have tried all the flavours, except the Assam one. Lol..
Mani, Great job!! The flavours rock and so does respective representations.
Way to Go Gingibloggers. Hip Hip Hurray.
(Ok, guess I got a little carried away..lol)
PS: Gingi sounds cute…lol
Better stated as ‘Kashayam’… given that I don’t drink tea or coffee.
