1. This top-down view of the moment before chai is poured was a clear win

2. Sweet symmetry ala doodh wali chai

3. Who doesn't love a cup of chai during a downpour!

4. Dhabba Doodh Patti - it's grimy, but that's what makes it so special

5. Just another chai-stained cup that won us over

6. Chai and memories - this gorgeous photo left us nostalgic (and thirsting)

7. If it isn't burning hot, it doesn't count

8. Yet another dhabba moment that had us fiending for doodh patti

9. "Sunehra, chamakta peela rung" - long live the chai wala
