About us

Too many cooks spoil the broth but not here at Ginger Chai. We love to have as many chaiwalas as possible to enhance our flavor and to cherish each one’s thought bytes and write-ups. Welcome to GingerChai, delivering a strong concoction of chai brew focusing on patterns that enriches one’s lifestyle in a pleasant and positive tone.

We love to brew cups of topics under various categories and segments and are passionately people oriented. We don’t preach, sorry we hate it. We present you cups of thoughts. We talk. We share our opinions.  We love counter opinions. We encourage people to talk to us and talk through us.

We celebrate human spirit, we like to talk to achievers, and we share the unheard voices of the often forgotten people. We share our views on books and movies, we drive around cars and fiddle with gadgets and write about it, we brew stories, we stir our spiritual souls. In short, we love talking, sharing and conversing with world. We love sipping thoughts and love having people come and brew their thoughts with us.

With a huge line up of authors and more knocking on the doors of the brew station; we are ever  happy to let people use our website to converse with the world, provided, they intoxicate us with their brew!

Let’s check out the lead movers and shakers who digitally brew chai here.

Lakshmi Rajan.

A compulsive tea drinker, it was only natural that he selected the name Ginger Chai when he brewed this site.  Chief-editor – Blogger and also the culprit for any editorial mistakes and goof-ups you come across here. When he is not writing and editing, he also runs around the business development affairs as well as to make a cup of tea for the visiting guests.  Last heard, he is rated as world’s best tea maker by none other than his wife.

Divya Sharma.

A Chartered Accountant by profession who enjoys writing in her free time – If you glance through her post frequency, you would  conclude she badly, dearly needs more free time. But hey, she plays a vital role in the smooth brewing of our chai station, though her contributions are largely on invisible mode.

Mani Padma.

A Doctor by profession and working in Delhi, Mani Loves travelling, mind games and playing with words (isn’t that enough to be a writer?!) … She has the talent to get suddenly into writer’s block and hide deep into a twilight zone, till she comes out screaming with new wave of thoughts and ideas. Some of the best brew ideas you find here goes to her credit.

Sanjiv Vakharia

Our man on wheels and the sniper for glamour shots, he is the man Friday of our Ginger Chai with tremendous passion and energy and a never-say-die attitude. Watch this dude; he got a bigger vision for us.

Vidya Sury.

When we get drunk on chai (?!) or any other beverage and when we constantly and religiously forget the importance of healthy living, our Vidya does not fail to remind us the importance of good living through her healthy bytes.  In short, she is our health tonic!

Usha Amudan.

An Indian origin doctor in making from Singapore with a musical gene and passion for causes all bundled with an amazing energy and zest for life.  Though she might not admit, she is the one who set the ball rolling for one of the core focus area of GingerChai with her IndiMusic segment – with that one segment she propelled us to bigger aspirations.

Anney Thomas.

It’s really hard to find people who earnestly love to make others smile and also grab every opportunity on the way to smile right from the heart and here is one such smiley in the planet. A NRI based in gulf, her musings are a light hearted breakfast!

Ambi.

A good commenter can be a good writer too. After a heavy metal intense debate with Radha chandran, Ambi proceeded to write his spiritual thought bytes here and it was a brilliant well researched journey forward!

Radha Chandran.

During our very early days, she is the one who provided some heavy dose of chai -for- thought brew.  It invigorated many souls, invited serious debates and in turn made soul curry one of our focus subjects.

Sir Pumpkin Longshanks.

He might sure have forgotten but then he is the one who shot us an email during our initial days with very encouraging words that motivated us to dream bigger. A researcher currently based in US, he chooses to be anonymous in his identity.

Pranjal Srivatsava.

A mechanical engineer who loves books and likes to see life through his own applied laws – laws that highlights the funny gene engineered in him.

Gayatri.

A graphic designer by profession, she enthralls us with her caricatures that  take a shot on all the  movers and shakers.  When not holding her pencils, she also writes for us short stories and visual recipes. Recently married and enjoying a long honeymoon.

Along with the chaiwalas mentioned here we have more than 35+ writers and many more guest writers who written for us and contributed their valuable thoughts. We are also glad to have budding  young writers like Sonal Gupta and Srajan Bhatnagar who are still in school but sporting wonderful thinking caps err or should we say chai cups?!!!
