The best way to know the self is feeling oneself at the moments of reckoning. The feeling of being alone, just with your senses, may lead you to think more consciously. More and more of such moments may sensitize ‘you towards you’, towards others. We become regular with introspection and retrospection. We get ‘the’ gradual connect to the higher self we may name Spirituality or God or just a Humane Conscious. We tend to get a rhythm again in life. We need to learn the art of being lonely in crowd while being part of the crowd. A multitude of loneliness in mosaic of relations! One needs to feel it severally, with conscience, before making it a way of life. One needs to live several such lonely moments. One needs to live severallyalone.

BUOYED BY STORM IN CHAI CUP, CHAI-WALLAHS MEET TO DISCUSS FUTURE COURSE OF ACTION

Buoyed by the surge in discussion around Chai stalls and the ‘eyeball’ and ‘electoral’ importance of Chai-time after Narendra Modi’s ‘Chai Pe Charcha’ campaign and it pushing the herd mentality forcing others to come with their own versions, the Chai-wallahs organised a meeting in the National Capital Delhi having representatives from every language, every culture and every geography of India, to deliberate on their new-found celebrity status and to devise ways to discuss and squeeze out the maximum possible political mileage from the Narendra Modi development and its offshoots so as to ensure the maximum social dividend for their community.

Also, the emphasis was led on swift working on the minutes of the Chai-wallahs conclave to deliver a charter of demands as soon as possible so as to get the political community agreed to the demands before the code of conduct of the Lok Sabha polls are enforced.


It was decided in the meeting the Chai-wallahs across the country, irrespective of their social and community affiliations, would project them as a unified social segment with a separate social identity.

The conclave was hugely successful. The organizers said the corpus collected by ‘voluntary’ fund donations has exceeded expectations and is enough to fund the organisation’s activities for the whole year.

A sea of people was pouring into the Ramlila Ground, the iconic protest ground of Delhi. The ground that can accommodate tens of thousands of people looked incapable of handling the spirit of the recently-realised Chai-wallah brotherhood.

One of the principal organisers of the event said the ‘charter of demands’ was ready and soon it was to be sent to the political parties to force them to pledge on the demands. The huge community of the now socially-conscious Chai-wallahs, a considerably large votebank, having pan-India presence, would support any political outfit on the ‘first come’ basis.

They also say that as of now the BJP and Narendra Modi have the ‘first mover’ advantage but since it is the first consolidated effort of a unified Chai-wallah community to emerge as an important sociopolitical group, it is their duty to give everyone a fair and equal chance.
