At My Age People Fall in Love… I Fell in Love With Ginger Chai

 At my age, everyone is busy falling in love with someone.

Me?

I just quietly fell in love with chai  especially ginger chai. And honestly… it suits me better. Because my chai doesn’t come with drama. It comes with steam, warmth, and that small “I’ve got you” feeling.

My Moments With Chai

I don’t make every cup like some big ritual.

It’s simple and Real.

Part of my day  but somehow, the best part.

Mornings

The house is half asleep, my brain still finding its balance, and there it is my cup.That first sip feels like the world settling into place.A quiet start. A small hug. A soft push that says, “Okay, Aarthi… let’s begin.”

Afternoons

This is the time when I slow down… like really slow down. My eyes tell me to sleep, my to-do list tells me to stay awake. And chai becomes the middle ground not forcing me, not rushing me, just nudging me gently back into motion.

Evenings

These are my favourite. When the day finally loosens its grip and I sit with my cup like it’s a tiny pocket of peace I earned. Sometimes I think, sometimes I stare outside, sometimes I just sip in silence. And that silence… feels good.Small Joys I Never Noticed Before It’s funny how such simple things can make me smile

– The sound of water boiling

– The smell of ginger waking up the air

– The warmth of the cup against my palms

– The way one sip changes the whole mood

They’re small, yes. But these little things keep my day from feeling heavy.

Why This Love Works For Me

Maybe it’s the honesty of it. 

Maybe it’s the comfort.

Maybe it’s the way chai becomes whatever I need, Energy, calm, company, or just a short break.

It never asks questions.

Never complicates anything.

Just sits beside me the same way every day — steady, warm, familiar.

And I think that’s why I love it.

Because in a life full of changes, chai stays… reliable.

In the End

This isn’t some dramatic love story. It’s just me, my cup, and all the moments in between. A small, steady comfort I choose every single day.

And honestly?

It’s the one love story that makes complete sense to me.
