Welcome to High on Chai!
High on Chai is a place where you will find everything about the things that matter to a lot of us. From personal grooming & styling to easy-peasy recipes that won't take a whole day to prepare; from what's on your TV to which movie you should stay away from; from the books that are a must read to what should be your next travel destination and so much more. I am no pro on anything but I am learning from experience and that's what I am going to share on this humble blog of mine 😊 Go, check out the posts! I hope you enjoy reading them.
I have been writing for as long as I remember. Earlier, it was a diary that'd go everywhere with me and as technology took over, the diary was replaced by a MacBook Pro (thank God for its lightweight😅) Moving to the USA gave me enough and more time to connect with my love for writing and cooking. Combining my experience in content creation and my creative writing skills, I decided to start documenting my experiences and recipes on a blog instead of writing extra-large Facebook posts when a friend asked for some recipe! That's how High on Chai was born, one fine afternoon in November 2015.
Before you ask, here's why I named my blog 'High on Chai'?
I am a self-proclaimed tea-addict and I am always high on life. I couldn't have come up with a better name, could I? I run on tea and so do my thoughts and my blog! Hence, the blog is called - High on Chai!
About me -
At different times of the day, I wear different hats like - marketer & advertiser, blogger, writer, freelancer, cook, dancer, etc.! Oh, and yes, I also play different roles, juggling between being a daughter, wife, sister and daughter-in-law, friend, etc.!😀 It's fun, exciting, and tiring sometimes but I am not complaining. With a very supportive husband (I call him Mr.P) and family, I couldn't have asked for more! Also, it has made me appreciate women more. Fantastic multitaskers we women are, aren't we?😁
A BIG BIG round of applause for all the women out there who play so many roles, all at the same time so perfectly!
I was born and brought up in Delhi and currently Mr. P and I call the beautiful state of California our home. Having traveled a bit and calling different places home has given me a whole new perspective on life but Delhi is still the place where my heart is!
I am a tea-guzzler and I can literally survive on tea. I love to experiment with the ingredients in my kitchen and I am constantly trying out new recipes. Some become a huge success and some have failed so miserably that Mr. P and I have gone to sleep empty stomach😂. A lot of credit for my skills in the kitchen goes to my mom who fought with me, scolded me, grounded me, but never gave up on me and managed to teach me some basic cooking, enough for me to survive. Some credit goes to Mr. P who ate whatever I cooked and slowly became my biggest critique and truest motivator.
I am not a fashionista nor am I a makeup pro. I just love to try new things and talk about what works for me, what didn't and how I made something work for me. At High on Chai, I try not to sound preachy, all I do is write about my own experience!
Apart from writing and being online all day long, I love watching TV series and once I am glued, I can finish one season in one day! I am a movie buff and love watching all kinds of movies. I love to travel and explore new places whether they are here, in my backyard or I have to hop on a plane and travel 1000 miles.
I hope you enjoy connecting with me and reading what I have to write. I would love to hear your suggestions and advices on what to write, what not to write or how I can make this blog better, so drop in a word here!
Oh, and let's connect through social media as well?
